Lycaon GR Electric Skateboard: Budget Board For Beginners

Lycaon GR Electric Skateboard: Budget Board For Beginners

Thanks to Lycaon Board for sponsoring this video. The Lycaon GR is a budget electric skateboard for beginners or those interested in a cheaper alternative to a boosted board, or other more premium eskate. They claim a 26mph top speed with a max ~23 miles of range, which is impressive for a board at this price. Can those specs live up to real world riding? Let’s put it to the test! Find out more…

How does Own board W2 compare to Boosted Board

What I have here is the Own board W2 prototype. Finally! A belt drives electric skateboard using the Hobbywing ESC. I think people have been wanting this ever since the release of the Own board w1 which started the trend of budget boards using theHobbywing ESC because of the accurate and intuitive control that it gives the user.

And then Wowgo started using it, Harvoo started using it, Backfire started using it. A bunch of skate startups started using it. The only problem is all of them used hub motors. Of course, hub motors do have their benefits. They're quiet, they're efficient, they're low-key.

But they do have major drawbacks, the biggest one being that the motors take up a lot of space in the wheels so the polyurethane tires tend to be very thin. That has a big impact on ride comfort and grip and it's just the reality of using hub motors. Unfortunately, there weren't really budget options for belt driven boards with the kind of intuitive controls that Boosted Board offers - until now.

At just under $700 the Own board W2 is half the price of a Boosted Plus and less than half the price of a boosted Stealth. Like Boosted the Own board W2 uses a belt drive system so you can use four actual wheels. So how does the Own board W2 compare to the Boost Board? Is it a cheap Boosted Board? Is it a Boosted Board killer? Is it better than boosted Board? Well, let's see.

I don't have a Boosted Stealth and nobody around me has one but my friend does have a 2nd Gen Boosted Dual Plus. We did an impromptu drag race the other day and unfortunately I didn't record any footage so you're just gonna have to believe what I say. But basically, the Boosted Board accelerated noticeably faster until the Ownboardstarted catching up and passing it because of its higher top speed.

According to Own board, the top speed of the W2 is 42 km/h. I didn't do a drag race on the Own board with any other board but if the rain ever stops inShanghai I'll try to do that and this time I'll film it. When we did the drag race with my friend's Boosted we also compared the braking performance and theBoosted was able to break much harder.

That does not mean that the brakes are bad on the Own board - they actually feel pretty good to me - but Boosted is just another level. Compared to the 2nd Gen Boosted the deck on the Own board W2 has less flex. It also has less flex than the Meepo NLS but more flex than the Backfire G2T.

Like I've said in other videos more flex is not necessarily better. It all depends on personal preference and what kind of riding you do but when you're standing on the board because the Boosted has more flex, you' rea bit closer to the ground on the Boosted than on the Own board.

Overall I don't think anyone can say that the Own board W2 is equal to the Boosted Board in any way that matters. Relatively speaking, one is a high performance and very highly polished product while the other still feels like a budget board. But it's a pretty good budget board. I'm gonna go through what I like about this board and what I think could be improved. Let's start with the good stuff. The acceleration and braking control are both totally smooth and intuitive and accurate, just like any other board I've used that uses the HobbywingESC.

And because it's using a belt drive system this board uses four actual longboard wheels so the ride quality in terms of road vibrations are more like that of a regular longboard. The battery in this prototype unit uses Samsung 25Rcells, 10s3p, which makes it 7. 5Ah. I'm told that there will be a second option which uses Samsung 30Q and that'll be a 9Ah battery for those who want longer range.

I haven't done a proper range test where I use up the entire battery. I'll try to do that soon but it's just been raining a lot inShanghai lately. The carry handle is actually really convenient.

According to my scale, this board weighs 7. 4 kg which is pretty normal for this kind of board. I think it's also worth pointing out that this board weighs less than the Own board W1S which is 7. 8 kg.

The grip tape is some kind of a shock absorbing material. I'm not sure how much difference that makes but I like it because it makes lifting up the grip tape easier. There's a battery indicator on the ESC enclosure. That's kind of nice. And yes this board does let you adjust the belt tension. All you have to do is loosen two bolts on the cover and the springs inside will push the motor away from the wheel, making the belt nice and tight.

You need to grab the motor and hanger and pull the motor back to the desired position. Otherwise, the belt will be too tight because the springs inside are really strong. And finally, I like Ownboard's new logo. So what could be better on this board? Now before we move on to this section keep in mind that this board is a prototype and Own board sent it to me for me to give them my feedback.

Some of the things I mention may be changed before the final product is released. When I rode the board for the first time I noticed that the back couldn't really turn. And when I tried to loosen the truck I found that the nut on the kingpin was already at the very end which was weird because the bushings looked really compressed. When I took off the first bushing I saw that the kingpin was not centered.

Because it wasn't centered, both of the bushings were not seated all the way in. That's why the bushings had to be so compressed making the back truck unable to turn. I was, however, able to resolve this by using a different baseplate. I had a spare truck lying around from the Backfired G2, and when I put on the baseplate from that, the kingpin became centered perfectly.

The bushings were then able to fit properly and the back truck was able to turn. I did tell Own board about this issue so hopefully, this will be resolved in the final product. The cables going from the ESC to the motors are right between the motors and the deck.

The cover for one of the cables actually got ripped open by one of the motors. I taped it shut but it got ripped open again. The cables are pretty rigid so I highly doubt that the wires inside would get torn by the motor. It was only the cover around the cable that got ripped. But in any case, I told Own board about this and they said they'll do something about that.

This next one is not so much a criticism but just something that you should be aware of. The pulleys on the back wheels do not come off and Own board does not currently sell separate pulleys for the wheels. So if you want to use different wheels you have to get pulleys from somewhere else.

The reason I don't like that is because that's getting into DIY territory while this is a prebuilt board. Ideally,  it should include everything that you need and I guess it does except if you want to use different wheels, which is one of the benefits of using a belt drive system. I'm also not sure where you would get 3m pulleys that fit the Own board so it's severely limited in customization options.

In my opinion, the Own board W2 at this time is the only good option I know of for a belt is driven board under $700. Many people have asked me about the Vestar Board. Yes, I have tried it. No belt tensioner, jerky controls, too high off the ground. It's not for me. I did give Vestar Board my feedback so if they ever make a V3 hopefully those issues will be resolved. But for now, the Own board W2 overall is much better. They're not even close. But between the Own board and the Boosted Board, if you have money get the Boosted Board.

Backfire Electric Skateboards

Electric skateboards are quickly taking the market by storm. The number of different brands selling the motorized boards is growing every year which can make it hard for someone looking to buy one. How do you know which brand is best for what you need? Backfire may have begun selling manual skateboards, but once they moved to selling the electric variety, have been making a big dent in the industry.

While most electric skateboards look similar to each other, Backfire strives to provide the best quality board at the most affordable price. If you’re on a budget, this is the brand you want to check out first.

The Company Background

Backfire was founded in 2009 by Randy Jee and Jerry Tong. At the time, they were two students looking for an easy way to get around campus that wouldn’t break the bank. They first started Backfire by selling regular manual skateboards. It wasn’t until 2011 when they decided to try their hand at the electric variety and in 2013, came out with their first electric skateboard design, the G1.

As an engineer with a degree in mechanical electronics, and a planner and marketer with a Master’s degree in business, respectively, Randy and Jerry brought their skill sets together to create the highest-quality and most affordable board they could.

New Products and Innovations

Since creating their first electric skateboard in 2013, they have released four different designs, including their Ranger X1, G2t, G2, and Galaxy G2, along with all the accessories you could ever need. Each time they come out with a new board, they strive to make it more powerful and better quality than the one before. The Galaxy G2 was named the best electric skateboard of 2019 by top10bestelectricskateboards.com.

Backfire is also one of the only companies who strive to make their boards as affordable as possible. While most electric skateboard cost nearly $1000, Backfire keeps their price range around $600, depending on what the board offers.

Our Final Verdict

Backfire does what not many other electric skateboard companies do: they give you a good quality board at an affordable price. And they don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. They are coming out with new designs at least once a year and each one is updated to ensure the rider has the best experience possible. They have quickly become one of the leading electric skateboard brands on the market today.
