I wanted to have an esk8, with great free-spin property, like a classical skateboard. Whisper quiet, only the wheel rolling noise audible. Long range, light weight, easy to transport / carry. Most od the available DD boards have a to small battery, around 600 Wh, so I needed a special solution.
With the conversion of my Titan -X, using the old DD kit, I got exactly, what I was looking for.
The DD motor connector fit, so no ESC change necessary. Hanger fit as well, respectively front as it is, and the back base plate can handle the new DD drive train, everything straight forward. Only a motor detection run is needed, to pair the DD motors to the original Titan X ESC. Some cable re-routing, new- softer bushings & bushing washers, and you are ready to go.
I first used rovers from cloud wheel, but the included DD multi adapter is to loose, for the wheel hole circle (ABEC). So I changed to KEGAL with MadWheelz, which works much better.
The rovers are nice, but the MadWheelz I love! What a ride, stable, grippy, the best street wheels for me. I guess my rovers are going to collect a lot of dust ;-) in the cellar.
Conclusion: I'm really happy with this purchase, but the rovers are not a great choice, go for the MadWheelz for a great street riding experience. As always B-ONE support was really helpful, to support my little project, thanks a lot for that!
Very happy with the purchase, fast delivery (5 days to Norway), good price, very good quality of all parts on the skateboard. If you are going to buy a skateboard I recommend buying it here. Regards Anders H
These are a great idea and would be great except electric skateboards are very heavy and unless you get it on the hook right it just doesn’t feel safe. I’m all for having things of the floor but I worry that with the weight it’s going to pull from the wall sorry !
My remote was broken and my light flickers on and off and my drive belts were broken
honestly, the most comfortable board i have ever ridden. Perfect flex in the deck and the smooth esc and direct drive motors make any wheel selection super comfortable. When its also this size thats not crazy big and more on the light weight size, its also VERY easy to control. And when you are in FULL control andddd you are comfortable, you ride like a pro. Definitely recommend the Balrog series

Awesome acceleration, comfortable ride (AT wheels), high top speed, more than enough range (45+ km with AT wheels). Griptape came poorly glued which is dissapointng. I snaped two belts in two months, about one every 100 km... Threre was some agressive riding as it was a new board and wanted to test it's limits (fun fun fun) but still, this makes me think the belts might be too weak for this kind of power. I use it for daily comuting now, we'll see...
Customer support is nice-before AND after purchase.
The handle was definitely a good upgrade for my Titan X-it looks good and it is much easier to pick-up or pull the board when not riding. But it is not sturdy enough for my taste. I have 80 kg and when i leaned on it with my hand, while riding, it buckled. It is still usefull for pulling the board but everytime i turn the board over for charging, the handle bends a bit more.
The lights are easy to install, shine bright and the battery lasts long enough. I am specially fond of the battery status feature that is missing on some other torches (not e-skate related); after turning the light off, special LEDs shine for a few seconds, to let you know how full the battery is.
I thought i don't need bluetooth control but i was wrong. It would be well worth paying those extra 10 eur for BT conectivity. Seeing new skate models equipped with integrated front lights is definitely step in the right way, well done B-ONE!
Probably the best 2 in 1 board in this price range, has everything you need. Definitely recommend to buy.
Board has just the right amount of flex for fun carving. Range and speed are both great, as advertised. I love how quiet the direct drives are compared to belts. I've put about 100miles on it so far, no issues
Using this as a replacement for my lycaon swift.
It has a „progressive“ (exponential) control characteristic, which makes it much easier to accelerate and brake (although i would like to tweak that a little more). And it has adjustable breaking power. Both of which my original did not have and both are big improvements. Unfortunately the fastest „gear“ setting is gone now, which i sort of miss, but then it was a little too fast for safety perhaps..
Using settings for swift hub motors: 11poles, 65% breaking power
My previous review was negative due to my cloud wheels being shipped separately, I thought they were forgotten; so ignore that.
The Balrog X Out-performs its price by a long shot. It also comes fully assembled, I literally took it out of the box, plopped it on the street and took it up the road within minutes of delivery

Best truck plates I have ever seen. 5$ are you kidding me? My whole order (truck plates, carry handle, hex grip tape) was amazing, all 3 items gave my setup a nice upgrade with fast shipping to Arizona. Great job guys.

I am loving my Balrog X. It's even nicer in person than I expected. Super good build quality, it feels very well made, well put together, and it came well packaged in perfect condition. Tons of power or you can also turn it down for casual cruising. I can't comment on range as I have only done a few rides but have no doubts about it's advertised range. Pneumatic tires are definitely worth it if you want supreme comfort and shock absorption. I am 200 pounds and the deck has the perfect springy flex to it. I highly recommend grabbing the handle as it is relatively heavy and the handle makes it much easier to haul around. Also recommend turning the braking force down to 60-70% It's a touch strong at full force, 5 clicks of the mode button brings up menu, youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynJuvzYdQRM&list=PLlXwqIOMdVTAHMzL5KcC4ag21pSxXF1hV&index=4 (you can thank me later). I am super impressed by everything and absolutely love my new E skate it's a lot of fun! If you are looking for a high quality, relatively inexpensive board, you are not going to do better than this for the price. It looks super badass too. Took a while for delivery but well worth the wait.
