Backfire G3 Plus Review - Their FASTEST Board Yet 

You had been riding at a quite high speed... Im surprised that this board still squeezed out about 20 miles of range.... Phenomenal

Some random thoughts (as someone who has not tried this board): 1. Studio is looking great! 2. Caliber trucks are awesome. 3. Flexy decks are a lot of fun but kind of overrated sometimes. If a board is made for speed and fine control you want that stiffer deck. 4. My understanding is CF by itself is a cloth-like material, and the stiffness comes from the epoxy or whatever is used to give it shape. Not sure why flexy CF decks aren’t more common, but also curious what advantages and disadvantages it has compared to bamboo. 5. Since Backfire is adamant about not going to belt drive, I hope they’re at least exploring direct drive to be able to use 4 normal wheels. Maybe that still needs more R&D? 6. I appreciate how Backfire has these fun ideas for marketing - sometimes they’re effective, sometimes not so much, but they’re willing and able to experiment. Really sets them apart.

The first G3 review on RU-vid yes!

I just wanted to say you inspired me so much to get my first electric skateboard I have had my wowgo for about 2 months now and I love it. Thanks Ronnie keep up the good work

I'm excited to get a backfire electric board I'm saving up for the Backfire G3 Plus with Carbon Fiber Deck and Ultra Long Range that is the one that I would love and perfect for doing to work and just going in to town.

Another good video Ronnie. Thanks for the honest review. I love what Backfire is doing by teaming with RU-vidrs to make videos exploring parts of the world. They're definitely daring to be different!

I’ve binged all of ur videos and just remembered to subscribe. Love ur vids and keep it up!!

Hey Ronnie, thanks for all the reviews over the years. I have an idea for you: how about a top 10 boards you've ever ridden? Maybe also a recommendation for 3 categories of board; budget, mid range and expensive boards? Keep up the good work!

Great review Ronnie

Yoooo, get your hands on the backfire mini! Also, show Detroit some love! We have a ton of cool paths in and around the city!

Nice video Ronnie! I deftly think im getting a G3. But I might have to return one of my new Boards. Well keep on terring the road up.

Great review Did you reach 29 mph with the 85mm wheels??

Finally a review i was waiting for it nice and the board looks very good

Good thorough review. Good stuff

Great video, Ronnie nice job one of my favorite channels

Watching you made me want to buy my own longboard. Havent bought one yet because a decent one is kind of expensive for me. But loving your vids man, someday ill buy my own and also experience how fun it really is riding one.

Great review. Really helpful.

I just bought my G3 yesterday and just waiting. However, i would prefer the carbon fiber from G3 plus deck than the bamboo glass fiber from G3.

Pretty good review. I would like to see and meet you in London. Big fan of Backfire boards I own the new Ranger X2 can't be more happier for ride and board quality.

Great review as always Ronnie. Thank you. Let me know when you hit Texas, Austin would be a nice bull's eye city for you to ride.

This really makes boosted look like a joke honestly lol

no no no, come to London England, it's real close and there's plenty of rain LOL. I finally got the wowgo 3 and it's dope. Keep up the great work.

GOOD REVIEW THANKS MAN ! MORE VIDEO LIKE THAT GOOD JOB

I have coined the phrase the BOMB STOP! Bombing a hill to a stop. This is just a test for electric skateboards brakes. And it's exciting to watch. Please include this test with your future electric skateboarding videos...Dank you brahda

Hi the board looks really cool. I've got the Meepo mini 2 and I'm loving it. I wondered what you thought of the Meepo boards? Thanks Mark

You should come to Boise! We've got a great grean belt along the river for miles and miles on smooth pave surrounded by trees lol I just took my Backfire G3 out on it yesterday and it was amazing

You’re the best !Really this time,you just test everything we want to know! Thank you,and maybe you can do some test with other strong power boards,like boosted stealth,please find someone play boosted stealth to kown something better

Come on over to Cincinnati, I'm a Boosted Ambassador and helped create a pretty great community of riders out here. We got some pretty sick skate spots around our city, and would love to host you!

🔥🔥🔥 had to watch now it’s time to go spend some time on my Black Carve🤙🏼🤙🏼

Was supposed to see a Backfire Boards touring here in Los Angeles last June (2019) by Daniel Kwan but, hell yeah, there is an establish group designated for electric skateboard and other Ev's in the city of Los Angeles. There are group rides throughout the week and alot of people are willing to see the G3 plus.

Come to Yakima Washington! Bro your videos are dope man. Good quality and information on these boards 💯🙏

nice video Ronnie

Love the review, you always do great reviews. Have you ever tested the NLS PRO the new version with the new ESC I would love to see the NLS PRO against the new backfire 3 and wowgo 3! What are your thoughts ?

Hi Ronnie, great review!! I'm glad that the market for Esk8 has catch up or in this case, surpass Boosted performance. My question for you is, for your insta 360x one footage, do you use internal mic audio for that? Because it sounds pretty good while you're riding and it seems like it handles wind noise nicely. Thanks!

San Diego!!! Come back and ride on the West coast. Lots of nice trails and bike paths around San Diego bay. Great place and nice weather as well.

im currently on a G2S and wanna upgrade, seriously considering staying with backfire for this board or save up for the boosted stealth. G3 plus definitely up their game.

oh sweet, you're collabing with backfire? sounds like fun! hmu when you're in NYC for it!

See you in NYC Ronnie 😁

I'd love to do a group ride in Atlanta, I have the g2 black, would be fun when the weather cools down

So I own a g3plus and I can say honestly ronnies review is spot on the breaks in eco mode are a little soft they stop you but they don't bite when you initially pull on the breaks but after that in sport and turbo they are fine really nice.. I managed to kill my board in 15.4 miles riding in turbo all the time in very mixed environment .. I'm also only 65kilo . Which brings me to speed .. in eco it's as you expect slow to start but will get me up to about 11mph and still climbs most hills no problem .. sport it becomes a true e-board wicked response great acceleration and good pulling power up hills I mean like 19mph on a 15% grade hill ...and I got up to a top speed of 26 mph .. Again I'm only 65kilo . (Fully clothed with back pack ) .. right so turbo mode .. well let's just say I feel it lives up to its name.😲.. I tested it on 1/2 mile cycle path through a park . It's arrow strait silky smooth and flat .. perfect for a top speed run .. turbo got me to 20 mph in about 6 seconds ... and on to a top speed of 32mph .. at which point there was 💩... I havnt found a need to use turbo again .. but it's fast and fun would like to get some belt drive races going .against your g3 plus

love the videos btw

Come to Sacramento CA! When quarantine is over of course!!!

Whats up Ronnie!? ESk8 Miami would love to ride out with you all over South Beach and Downtown!! Stay Stoked!!

Brighton is a very cool city in the UK Loving all your content, excellent presenting skills Found you whilst looking for a board for myself

I'm beginning you please come to Pittsburgh. The roads over here are so dope

Im still impressed by the weight of the board. Not even 2024 there is another board out there, which packs such beefy specs and only weighs 7,3 kilogramms. Thats amazing. Even the current G5 which has similiar specs comes with about 9 kilos. I wish they would do something like that again.

I don't post comments often but the review was so good I had to pause and say thank you, this is dope.

Ronnie, you have to come to Toulouse, France ;)

Thanks for the review! Do you know is they use the same esc as the HW version of the NLS pro? Also, does this esc makes electrical buzzing when its turned on? Greetings!

Well Slow Breaking is understandable in Eco mode. You ride slow, you break slow. It's a relaxing mode when you want to look around and enjoy the environment. The same with my G2S which is totally ok. And the Price... Yeah it a bit expensive but I think the big big battery is the main cause of the price. Still I think it is still worth it you need a longer range! Nice Video btw. Written stats maybe a good idea.

Damn, that's a good looking board. I might have to pick one up for myself. Also, looking mighty trim good sir.

Just bought the g3 as my first board. Highly recommend. Super fast for playing around and comfy to ride 👌🏼

Backfire hit me up lol nice vid Ronnie

Awesome review. Backfire has always had the cleanest aesthetics out of all hub motor/budget boards but in terms of functionality, I feel like this is just a G2T with a bigger battery and much bigger price. Me personally I wish they had even a lower priced option of a flex board to cater to a different customer who are still fans of backfire similar to how meepo went with the budget classic with hobbywing esc vs all their other boards with the yingli esc. It became one of their best selling boards. Give me all the functionality of the backfire on a flex deck.

Come to Haugesund, Norway! 🙌😄🤙 I think i'm sold on the Backfire boards myself.

Come to Phoenix area, nice path around Tempe town lake and up the green belt park system

Come to Toronto, Ontario man! Great vids btw.

How did you do that video effect at 13:47? That's awesome!

3:57 it may seem fine but I thought composites do not often show signs of stress, they just break one day

If you do world tour you should visit gothenburg in sweden, we are about 100 people doing group rides and such, great city with many places to ride! Also got a g3 plus incomming, gonna be amazing!

Looks like a beast of a board.

COME TO LA!!! I would love to Skate with you! Hopefully ill have a board to ride when you come, or maybe you'll have some to test??!?!?

Dude Atlanta, currently their is a bit of shortage with all the electric scooters and electric bikes. Like literally on every corner you will find scooters or a bike. Although they go pretty slow since they top out at 20 miles per hour.

That board is a monster, Also I love watching your board reviews their amazing it makes me wanna get one , but I'm a broke college student

London my man! Nice hills, nice parks, nice food, nice people!

Come to SoCal Ronnie!

This is my favorite board so far the LED the phone charger the miles you get its sweeet

What things do you feel like could be improved in the board?

hey ronnie. i have a g2 black and i want to know how tight should the trucks be on these boards

Would you take this over the Exway X1 Pro hub or Riot pack??? Trying to decide between these 2 boards. My weight is 195-200 lbs. Appreciate your input!

Amazing review as always bro. You mentioned all these cities but they're all in the US!! 😔😩 I think you should put London on your map and come check out the scene over here! Amazing food BTW (plz ignore EVERY article about British food being "fish n chips. Pie n mash. Deep fried pizza." We're so much better than that bro! So yeah, London is calling & I've got some pie n mash waiting for you upon arrival 😁🙏 Peace ✌️

can you please tell me what kind of camera you record these vids on? also what kind of stick do you use to hold the camera while you ride?

I hope you come to Portland

i live in the UK and roads are pretty rough, i was wondering which electric skateboard you'd reccomend? Backfire G3 is supposed to be good due to the small hub motor and thick urethane. any better suggestions? Not looking for an off-roader though!

Nice review. Come to LA hermosa beach

Looking forward to the Europe -tour =)

Great review Ronnie. I have ordered the G3+ 2 weeks ago. Order status is still on order confirmed, so not shipped yet. How is the experience with backfire shipping? Looking forward to test the board out myself.

I have the G3+ also; come to Fort Collins Colorado!

I am currently split between the G2T and this new G3 Plus, I currently have the G2 Galaxy Deck I wonder if you or anyone else in the comments have advice, and help me look at pros and cons. For me personally 10 km range is enough but I'd like to have more freedom if I ride to work and have errands to run before, so range and speed is something I am really into

I need those glasses 🤓

I assume there will be simple backfire G3 model? do you have some info?

Can you review g3 normal? Maybe even comparing it with g2t?

LOS ANGELES and/or SAN DIEGOOOO love brada. !!!!!!!! COME! Need swag and helmet. Spending some of my stack on the G3, haha

Gear drives mostly exists in the DIY scene atm, but that's definitely the future! Not talking about direct drive.

can do you another video with the 96 mm wheels? I feel like it will be a very different ride

i just ordered one

Anyone realize the 7.3 power stroke ford at 3:44!

Just ordered a G3 Plus! Cant wait to try it out, i will be posting a detailed review when i get it.

Hey Ronnie, how does the G3 Plus compare to the Zealot? Which one would you prefer?

Is the trigger spring loaded (with a return to zero) on the remote?

OMG PLEASE GIVE ME THIS LONGBOARD AS MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT 😅🙏❣️

How would you compare the lycoan GR and the backfire g3?

Great review, Ronnie! BTW, does the G3 have fixed speed (cruise control) mode, like the G2T? Did you try it? Thanks.

Come to the ATL

Be fun to board man im Your a beast my dude, lucky that you got one, gotta save for mine but i think itll be well worth

You went right by my office when you went past the Eisenhower metro. So weird.

can you compare the bf g3+ and ownboard w2?

Yo Ronnie! You should stop by Nashville!

Come to Canada, and soon, before the 🌨🌨❄️☃️

Come to Texas!!!!! Dallas or Fort Worth would be rad! But I'll drive to anywhere in Texas to ride with you!!
