    One of the wheels had massive failure within the first 45kms riding but also all the little screws that hold the attachment to the direct drive completely unscrewed themselves in the same time and 90% in the other which I found out changing the wheels after the one lost two chucks of rubber making it unusable

    Vortex Carbon Direct Drive (55km)

    This board is everything a rider would want from an experience perspective. I have held off on writing the review since my purchase and I am genuinely blown away by this board's performance. What makes this machine stand out to me coming from a riding perspective are as follows.

    Battery Life : The board boasts a 55km range which I had thought was an exaggeration. It is not, I am riding approx 45mins to and from work every day and return with around half battery, makes me feel like I'm living in the future.

    Performance and responsiveness : The board is fast but what I note is exceptional to me is the responsiveness. What I mean by this is if the board accelerates too fast it will naturally pull away from you and it becomes difficult to balance on takeoff. The design to me feels a great balance between taking off quickly but not too fast. The same is true of the brakes, you need the stopping power but not too sharp or it will throw you off the front. The brakes seem to do this naturally even if I fully lock them up it won't deadstop the board but will bring them on gradually.

    Torque : I can't believe the inclines I can punish this thing on even though I am not a small man.

    Handling : This is the only part I find difficult to find the right balance and everyone will have a different take on. Tighten the trucks and you can easily hit the higher speeds smoothly but your ability to steer will suffer. Loosen them and it handles beautifully but you'll experience hectic wobbles before you get close to the pace this board is capable of.

    Overall I love this board and really can't fault it after owning for about four months. If you are looking for speed, battery life and a responsive, intuitive performance then look no further. I can not recommend this highly enough and look forward to taking it out as often as I can.

    I’ve had this board for just over a month now and I must say, coming off down hill with speed wobbles wasn’t fun. However, I tightened my trucks to make my board more stiff and now I can cruise along at top speeds. Highly recommend upgrading to ALL TERRAIN tyres asap (97mm stock wheels don’t like rocks and road markers very much) also you will have a greater ground clearance so your motor sleeve covers don’t take as much damage. Hope this helps road surfers 🤘

    FAQs

    All our boards include 97mm Street Wheels as Standard.

    However all our boards can be optioned with 6" All Terrain Pneumatic wheels OR 120mm All Terrain Cloud wheels!Simply select the option you'd prefer for your ride! 

    We recommend Cloud wheels for Direct Drive Boards and 6" All Terrains for Belt Drive Boards for the ultimate board combination.

    Note: Black cloud wheels are standard when selected - if you wish to change colour please make note of desired colour on your order notes.

    DD Motors are affixed to the boards axle where the wheel mounts onto the side of the motor. They provide super smooth yet crisp delivery of performance and are the ultimate motor for everyday cruising or street carving. Direct Drive Motors are virtually maintenance free, plus are extremely efficient and super silent given they produce no loud belt noises and are fast becoming the motor of choice.

    Key Benefits

    • Incredibly Efficient & Smooth 
    • Very Quiet & Low Sound Output
    • Low Maintenance
    • Ideal for Cruising and Carving

    Downfalls

    • Motor clearance on smaller wheels isn't ideal, although motor protective covers are easily replaceable and in-expensive.

    BD Motors are mounted off the back of the boards axle (and in some cases off the front) which then drive a belt via a pulley that adapts to the wheel allowing more ability to change gearing variations to alter the performance, torque or range characteristics depending on the type of wheels and tooth of adapters used. Thanks to this gearing the motors will provide phenomenal amounts of torque and acceleration comfortably.

    Key Benefits

    • Ultimate in Torque & Acceleration
    • Excellent Heat Dissipation
    • Ideal for All Terrain Capability

    Downfalls

    • Can be quite loud and noisey 
    • Require's more tuning and maintenance of belt tensions etc

    Up to 100kg on Bamboo Series and 120kg on our Carbon Series.
