Exway X1 Professional Electric Skateboard Surface Waterproof/Dust-Proof/Anti-Collision 4 Speed Change + Professional Longboard Bridge High Resilient Wheels

Exway is a very sleek board the batteries are contained within the board so it doesn't look as if it is even an electric skateboard. There is a little flex in the board I'd say it is more built for speed on a smooth surface. The trucks came a little loose for my liking but there is a tool included to adjust them. it also came with an extra set of wheels which are slightly bigger and in my case I prefer them over stock size. I ride my board to and from work everyday which has saved me 50$ this month. I also park my car away from my destination to get free parking which allows me to save sometimes 6 dollars a day on the cheap days. With that being said the board will pay for itself within a year

This is not the PRO. As far as I can tell, this is the "Exway X1", not the "Exway X1 Pro", even though the item listing title says "Exway X1 Professional...."It IS an excellent, and incredibly impressive product I highly recommend. Designed with very impressive attention to detail & build quality, still after 164 km of commuting.I'm 185-195lbs dry weight, and it had tons of power & decent range. Yesterday, I was fully dressed for work, had backpack with 17 inch laptop, and gym bag w/lots of stuff in it, and it felt as powerful as ever.It easily makes top speed, controller showing 40 km/h, and handles hills with very satisfying power.The regenerative braking is very impressive.Only con is that it's got a harsh ride. It came with an extra set of rear wheels, which is really nice. The default wheels, with hub motor, transfer a lot of vibration to the stiff composite deck, which then not only creates discomfort, but also makes for slightly more dangerous riding, since my feet actually get bounced around on the board a bit on some bumps.The default wheels are 80mm. The extra set of real wheels are 83mm, which I guess adds an extra 1.5mm between the hub motor & road. I really look forward to switching to the bigger wheels, but tempted to milk the originals for all they're worth. They take quite a bit of abuse, and the edges of the wheels are badly chipped up and have lots of little chunks taken out of them. It's hard to avoid a little bit of gravel here and there where I commute, plus cracks and other road irregularities take they're toll in ways that doesn't happen on regular longboard wheels that don't have a hub motor.However this seems like a whole lot of esk8 for $600; a whole lot. I've wanted some kind of esk8 or e-scooter forever, but figured there was wayyy too much probability of ending up with something that was going to fall apart if I tried to get by in the "under $1000" range. We have lots of rent scooters in town, and lots of them have quality issues. The Lime scooters seem pretty good, but those are bespoke. The Segways & Xiaomi rental scotters have issues with the throttle buttons either not working, or you have to tap them multiple times to get them to kick activate. Some of them have power issues, in which they won't get to full power, and it takes forever to get where you're going, or power comes & goes erratically. So I am amazed that Exway accomplished this level of quality, and this level of detail in design, all for $600. Kudos.The quality seems very, very good. I have a plugin hybrid car, with no EV plugs in my apartment complex, so I've been wanting an esk8 forever, but afraid to buy one from all the random companies that I don't know anything about. It is totally evident that Exway put massive effort into the design. The design of many parts is bespoke and very refined. So, even though the composite deck makes for a bit of harsh ride, it's a super tight design, that they simply must have worked really hard on, unlike all these other companies that just buy a Loaded deck and attach parts to (not that there's anything wrong with that). They appear to totally attend to detail. IT looks like they are true design engineers.Pros: Tons of power & speed. Pretty decent range. Impressive regenerative braking. High quality hand controller with pretty good amount of info in the LCD display. Amazing attention to design detail & bespoke components. Seems like really good build quality.Cons: harsh ride.Well, I didn't come here to write a full review, but just a few things to help out consumers. I ended up typing more than planned, and stopping now. So, maybe I'll come back later, and review my review; find things I wanna change. For now, there it is.

The Good:This board is quick and not hard to get use to. I have taken it up to 25mph a time or two while chanting "I'm going to die!" every time the wheels hit a pebble. Fun to ride, great for college campus, and it can be taken onboard airplanes as the X1's (but not the pro version's) battery is below 160 watt hours. I find the parts' quality to be excellent as well.The Bad:For newer riders a full face helmet is a must as the first time you fall head first off this thing above 15mph might be your last. One other thing to note is that the board design has wheel bite on stock bushings. Stiffer lower bushings fixed this.The Ugly:The factory X1 80mm wheels are garbage. Within the first ride of my board the rear wheel (hub-motor wheel) split on a pebble. I replaced all 4 factory wheels with the updated material 85mm ones and the ride is much better. No chunking/splitting so far. Now the only real garbage part of this whole package is the phone App. The Apple Exway App works great... but I don't have an I-phone. Instead I use an Android which has issues with the Exway App not even working even on the most up to date phones. Google Play has its own review in their store so I won't count it in this one. Let it be known you are better off grabbing a friend's I-phone if you don't have one, and firmware update/custom tune you board with it. Just delete the Exway App off their phone when you are done so they can't mess with your settings "for the fun of it." (Please don't make my mistake yours.)The Lowdown & Dirty:All in all I love this product and got it because going 5 mph faster with the X1 Pro version is not worth spending the extra money on. If it was not for the wheel bite and sub quality 80mm factory wheels it came with I would give it 5 stars. Switching to the 85mm wheels is worth the money though. Find a friend with an I-phone if you don't have one to make setting changes or firmware updates to the board as the Android App is mostly nonfunctional for the moment. (10/17/2019) The Android App might get fixed in later updates or it might not.The Truth About Mine:The item I got was opened at one point as the manufacture's box's tape was cut though, the board's firmware was up to date out of the box, the speed setting 2 limiter that last for 10k was turned off at 0k, the grip-tape had some scuffs on it, and the remote looked like it had been dropped/kicked with scratches on it fresh out of the delivery truck. The board might have been refurbished at some point as the wheels and bearings were brand new though. So far no issues besides the battery seems kinda weak as I only get 5 miles out of a single charge at 100% where as other reviews online are saying 7~9 miles is the average on speed setting 4 race mode per max charge. I don't ride flat out on this thing much as the roads I can use it on are filled with rocks and are cracked up real bad. Speed setting 2 or 3(W/Factory Race mode) out of the 4 it has is all I daily use it on, but I end up getting far less range per charge than it feels I should. The board's battery level indicator also can't make up it's mind as to what level the battery is charged at as it fluctuates wildly by as much as 42% in it's read out. I've had it indicate a drop to 29% charge, get a low battery vibration in the remote, and suddenly for it to jump up to 71%-74% charged seconds later. This all happens within the first 5-10 minutes I hop on the board using either speed 2 or 3(W/Factory Race mode). I would expect this on speed setting 4 but not on 2 or 3. I've had to charge my board 10 times in the first 40 miles and I don't think this is normal.

I love this board beats driving a car any day except the winter time fast and kneck breaking

Super Fast!! Awesome product.

wheel bite

I have had mine for over a month now I have ridden it daily, sometimes just for fun and mostly as a last-mile solution to my daily commute. I have had no issues at all. It is very fast and powerful. It is definitely living to its standards. 10 miles range without a problem, climbing hills: check, speed: check. Indeed, when going faster the battery will ran out faster too; however, there is plenty of power and speed just using it up to the second gear (it has 4 total). Very fun, reliable product.

This is a great board and I high;y recommend it. It does super fast and the app is well coded. The fine tune adjustment is unmatched. It advertises about 2 hour charge times but I got around 1:15-1:25. It charges fast even without the quick charger. High;y recommend for anyone buying a new electric skateboard but it is probably too intense for most beginners.
