Well my friends, the other day I got a mysterious parcel. What can it be? Lets unpack it right now!
As you can see we found there such a beautiful electric board. Actually the Beast Board company
contacted us some time ago and offered to make a test of their newest product. By that moment I
already had forgot about that offer, so it came as a full surprise for us to get this parcel. Anyway
since then we have been making this test and today we are ready to tell you the results of
it! So make some tea and get comfortable my friends, we are to start right now!
Hi there as usually its me just a voice over, you are watching review machines and this is the same
board after our long test. This is a new product of Beast board brand and they asked us to share
all our impressions about it. So this time we had been preparing for this review for about a month
before we filmed this video. I think we’ve learnt all main quirks and features of this board and
today we will show what it can actually do. By the way Beastboard brand has a warehouse in the USA,
so the shipping time will be just about 3 business days. I’ll put the link into the description of
this video. Well now lets look closer at the board and try to find out why it is called the Beast!
As a matter of fact it is not absolutely correct to call this device electric skateboard.
Its length is 97 cms that is why it is more correct to call it an electric longboard!
And its name the Beast, probably resulted from the fact there are two powerful motors
750 watts, so the total power is 1500 watts! The motors have an insane RPM,
that is why they are so powerful and compact at the same time. Then we see here a belt drive
of the both wheels that provides a high torque from zero. The diameter of the wheels is 110 mm,
they are made of special composite material with wind wheel technology, that is allegedly lighter
and better than usual pneumatic wheels. All the gears of the chAssis looks very solid and durable.
The battery is 48 volts, 12.5 AH capacity, it is attached under the deck. The deck itself is
made of 7 layer of a Canadian maple and one layer of a bamboo. That provides a perfect
flexibility and durability of the same time. That is why its carrying capacity is 150 kilos.
There is grip cover on the deck, so it is rather comfy to stay on it. All the handling is done by
this remote controller. It has a display with a speedometer, odometer and battery indicator.
And of course there is a throttle and a reverse mode. Lets look how this stuff works.
You may remember that quite time ago I already made several reviews of electric boards.
But it was quite long ago, so my skill now leaves much to be desired. That is why this
board has been tested by our rider Vitalik! So today he will show us what this device can do!
First of all I want to say that the Beast is quite a proper name for this board,
actually 1500 watts power it is more than enough for such a device.
There are three drive modes. And even it the first mode this board is pretty fast. So the third mode
may be really insane especially for new riders. Speaking about the skills. You should know it
is definitely not an e-scooter that will be appropriate even for my grandma. It
is much more complicated device. Lets look at Vitalik example. Actually it his first board.
He had never ridden any boards before. Now as we can see his skills are pretty decent.
It took him about a month to be able to ride in this way. But I want to warn you, do not
follow our example and always equip a full set of armor when riding this device. It is a must here.
To check the maximum speed and range we moved to open road.
And before actually testing I would like to ask you, if such an electric board may become an
everyday transport? Like an electric scooter. Or this device can be considered only for fun? Yes it
took some tome to get the hung how to ride this board. But it is possible almost for everyone.
For example our rider Vitalik were going to his office on this board every day for two weeks.
And there are both pros and cons of this kind of transport. First of all it is much more fun
to ride on an electric board than on a regular e-scooter, it is undoubtedly.
Lets compare these two devices face to the face. Which is better for everyday use! I choose an
electric scooter as you may see, but lets compare them anyway and firstly we’ll find out which of
them is faster. It goes without saying, the board is way faster than most city electric scooters.
1500 watts is a significant power you know. Well the first score is in the favor of the board.
The next thing, as opposed to a scooter you have a free hand riding on a board,
so you can do something useful. When you ride a scooter you need the both hands.
Now lets see how to carry these devices. The board is able to move without a rider, but it is not so
comfy, so we can just carry it in our hands, or tow it in this way. The scooter is heavier,
but there is a comfy handle to carry it, so in this competition I think
our devices are equal. By the way, the board weighs about 9 kilos, and the scooter is about 12.
Lets get back to the tests now and check the maximum speed. The state of charge now is about
50%, so probably it is not the maximum result. But as a matter of fact you feel the speed much
better here than riding any other device. Our result is 43 kmh and I think it is too
much for such a transport. By the way in fact the maximum speed is limited here it is 51 kmh.
And finally we are going to make a range test. So we’ll recharge the battery and get back soon.
The battery is full now, we start the gps tracker and ready to go.
Today we have the following conditions. The weight of the rider is 72 kilos.
We are riding at a speed about 30 kmh. While we are riding I would like to sum
up our review. Actually it is very fast, lightweight, effective kind of transport,
that may be used for everyday riding. Besides you will look cool riding these thing. But there are
some drawbacks. Firstly if you are not experienced skateboard rider it will take you some time to get
the hang of it. Secondly it is more dangerous device than a regular e-scooter. Then it needs
perfect roads and good quality asphalt. And Speaking about the prices. It cost 600
dollars, I’ll put the link into the description of this video.
Meantime our range test is over and we are ready to find out the final result.
36 kms! It is a decent result for a board, isnt’it? Well my friends lets call it a day
now. Please post your comments what you think of this device and what is better scooter or board?
