Balrog ZS Direct Drive Electric Skateboard

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

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.

great 2 in1 board. lots of range. good power. no need to buy shredlights. fast and stable

Good board. Definitely a long hauler.
I do think the hota tires are too soft for the weight of this board. I swapped to the mboard nova 6in,more solid now and less mushy and thorn proof. I can ride 30 miles on nuematics.looks great and b one customer service solved any issues I had including a bunch of goodies in a separate mailing.

There’s a ton of electric skateboards out there. I did a lot of research and saw that this board was a great board at a great price. Customer service after the purchase was great too. I have 250 miles on the board and no complaints. Great battery life, torque and speed. Just a heads up, you definitely want to adjust the brake from 100% to somethjng lower. Mine is set at 70% and I love it

titan x is definitely the most underrated 2 in1 board on the market. for only $1200 bucks u get insane amount of range, good performance, good quality, good customer service, and of course unlimited amount of wheel and pulley capabilities. I also think there tkp trucks are the best tkp on the market. Absolutely love the titan x.

Seems to be doing the trick.

I bought my Titan X a year ago and I ordered it with the 165mm wheels. Those worked well but after 1000 miles I wanted to try something different so I ordered the 120mm Clouds. Wow! So happy that I did. It improved the ride quality by a lot. It also lowered the ride which I found out makes the board way more stable. Full disclosure... I also changed out the stock bushings with some Riptide's and that made a HUGE difference as well. I've had the chance to ride about 10 different popular boards and the Titan X with the new 120mm setup is the nicest riding board I've ever been on. Oh... by the way, I went with the 40t pulley and it increased the top end a little bit. I have a GPS recorded 42.3mph top end! This board is a BEAST!!!

a GREAT VALUE. perfect mixture of carve, stability, power and range. all under $900 . and its even better with street wheels!

Straight-up, this Titan X 2wd, 2 in 1 deserves 5 stars for both customer support and overall field-use of the board. I gave a 4 star rating based on a few technicalities. This Titan X 2wd has enough torque to be dangerous for any rider without experience. The stability while riding general outdoor paved surfaces such as sidewalks, walk/bike trails and roads, is that of cheat codes in a video game. I'll simply never crash due to speed wobble. I can't imagine how anybody has. If anybody has... The top end speed depends on your wheel type and size as well as your pulley type. The padded grip tape is incredibly comfortable. Vibrations can really only be felt on PU wheels. The integrated brake light makes every bit of difference in group rides at night. It's very noticeable and very cool looking. The board is very diy friendly and easy to disassemble. The carbon fiber finish is very professional. CONS: Loose hardware upon receipt, grip tape peeling off upon unboxing, defective pulley on first ride scheduled to be 20mi and I had to call for a ride and get picked up half way through. (Customer service sent 2 new pulleys with bearings) odometer resets after charging unless you exclusively power the board on and off via the button on the board and not the remote. Just yesterday, after 35 days of ownership and around 60 mi, my left rear cloud wheel bearing fell apart. I refuse to ride off road and cannot comment on that for review.

I am super impressed with the Titan X! It has long range with great stability as well as carvability. Also, B-One customer service is 2nd to none. Thanks! ⚡️🛹🤙🏻

J'utilise mon Balrog Z depuis 3 semaines maintenant, et je suis super satisfait ! Les moteurs Direct Drive sont suffisamment puissants, pas de problème ! Et ils sont très silencieux, j'adore.
J'obtiens 50km d'autonomie en mode 2, et plus de 40km en mode 4, pour un rider de plus de 80kg, avec des roues caoutchouc 110mm, avec encore 1 barre sur le cadran d'autonomie.
J'ai fait une pointe à 48km/h en mode 4, et il était possible d'aller plus haut, frisson garanti. Aucun speed wobble. La planche et les axes sont très stables ..
La planche est très flexible, peut être un peu trop pour mon poids.

Je suis très satisfait de ce skate, de sa puissance suffisante, très silencieux, top speed pouvant aller surement à 50km/h, c'est largement suffisant pour moi, mais ce que j'aime le plus, c'est sa grande autonomie. Je ne voudrais pas d'un skate faisant moins. Le seul reproche, le rayon de braquage est très large. Ce sont des simple Kinpin, les bushing sont assez durs, et il est assez difficile de tourner.
J'ai commandé des bouchons plus softs chez Riptide, je les attends, je pense que cela cela facilitera le carving, reste a voir pur la stabilité.

Mais je voudrais un autre élément très important, pour lequel je suis très satisfait : Le service client !
Le transport a pris 1 mois, et j'ai été tenu informé régulièrement par Lily de B One.

Je vis sur une petite ile perdue au milieu de l'océan indien ( La Reunion ). Il n'y pas de magasin de skate électrique ici, et faire venir des objets électriques est compliqué et cher !
SI j'ai un problème, je suis tout seul pour le résoudre, ou les prix de transports sont malades.

2 jours après avoir reçu mon skate, j'ai eu un problème de déconnection entre la télécommande et l'ESC.
J'ai échangé avec le service client qui m'a aidé pendant toute une après midi à résoudre le problème.
Au final, ce n'était qu'un connecteur mal emboité.
Mais nous avons passé en revue toutes les possibilités, leur service a été patient, extrêmement réactif, et finalement efficace, mon problème a été résolu.

A l'origine, je penchais pour une Meepo, mais après avoir lu et entendu tous les avis négatifs sur leur service clients, et les bons commentaires à propos de B One, j'ai choisi B One, et je ne le regrette pas.
Je voulais partager avec vous cette expérience qui aurait pu etre un désastre, mais au final, pas du tout, grâce à leur service client excellent.
Un grand merci à Lily !

Great Board, Great Service, what else ?
Good Job B One

I come from snowboarding, and this is just like that carving experience but in the summer!! 👍👍👍 It is totally awesome, you can easily cruise at 40km/h, stable as hell and the hota tires just grip, grip, grip! 💪 The decksize is more than you need so you can choose yourself how you like your stance! 👍 The battery gets me 45km and there is still some battery left, and that is with the 150mm Hota tires! 🤘 Love everything about this board...! 👍❤️

This board is incredible. Great specs, stunning looks, and a really competitive price.

I've posted a full unboxing and review on YouTube; if you're curious.

Just finished installing this esc into my landyatchz evo with 13s3p molicel pack and 6368 170kv motors. After a simple modification to the connectors (I use MR60) this esc packs some punch! Love it. I need to get their 6374 motors now!

B one are great to deal with, they back up their products with fantastic after sales service.
