Affordable budget electric skateboard new 2020 Backfire G2 Black

It's a no-frills but affordable board from arguably the most dependable e-skate company today.

Who wants this ? Backfire Hammer

The new battery works perfectly. The customer service from Backfire (shout-out to Adi and u/randy-BACKFIRE ) is so good !. Ive also purchased 105 donuts cloudwheeels to make my ride smoother on the G2 in the mean time.

While I do hate this occasional slightly jerky feeling at the end of a charge, most boards I've owned/used have done this too....Meepos, oddly, *don't* do this, but they try and sabotage me in other ways. Basically, this is a crazy good value proposition, especially for Backfire. The remote is on another level (though the remote battery life also sucks), the fit and finish is excellent, I never get sore feet no matter how long I ride, and the whole package seems more reliable than other boards I've owned.

In a hard spot, I’d love to get an electric skateboard but I live in a city with no bike lanes, no paved trails, and no real infrastructure for e skateboards. Should I still get one? Are there ways I can work around it? Would an off road e board solve my problem?

Listen I would get a backfire g2 black it’s really good, the wheels are big so it’s alright for good roads the esc is really good the range is really good for the price it’s not very expensive but still enough to get a really good experience (I should know I had 1000kms on mine) and it’ll give u a good idea on if u want to continue or not (and if u don’t like it u can always give it to me 🙂).
