Hub vs Belt on Electric Skateboard, Which Should You Get? 

The law makes me go with hubs, cause those are more undercover :D

That hub board makes a sweet sound!

9:05 'on your left', in the Uk J would have been shouted off his board and abused but this guy was so polite and courteous, even finishing with 'have a good day'. Nice town :) Great vid J on the Street

I have the Xway X1 one pro with Riot and hub motor package. I think the biggest difference between the two is the smoothness of the ride and you get a higher top speed with the Hub Motors. I have to change belts more often than I thought in 6 months I've went through almost three sets of belts. They cost $25 a set keep that in mind as well. And I have places that have small rocks and I've had lots of them get into the gears and belts. Still love them both though.

i live in the uk eboarding is illegal , so ill prefer a silent hub to keeping out of the police radar :) great vid thanks

Hub is the way to go for the noise reduction. I know for a lot of people they dont think into it until they pass a police officers and he gives you a ticket for your electric skateboard. With a hub you can just act like its a normal board and pump past the boys in blue! In addition when you run out of battery it becomes a regular skateboard...

Hey man how would you go about adjusting the belts ? tightening them and loosening them. my fear is belts snapping frequently. or is that not even a issue and it’s in my head lol.

in terms of less water damage which is better? better

i want to be able to push or ride downhill without leaning on the throttle, but I also want nice soft wheels since the roads here are pretty jacked up, i don't know what to do, honestly....

Everything I’ve seen online says keep pressure on front not back foot? I’m questioning if I’ve been learning how to ride wrong this whole time now.. help

Can the wheels attached to the hub motor be change?

Go with hubs. I have a Meepo V4s and a Flow. The hubs are much better ride feel. The V4s freewheels so nice and just glides along. The Flow always has to be on throttle. It's nice but that board woulda been so much nicer with hubs.

you are funny.

Ive picked an E-board with Hub. It is really as powerfull as a belt one. Anyway the difference is not that big. But that belt noise.. The only BIG downside is irreplaceable wheels. Thats bad

The next one I'm getting is the Revell kit. 4 wheel drive version. Direct drive best of both Hub and belt drive Motors.

Some people say belt drive is more comfortable to ride. Do you agree? If so, why? Great video by the way, I like your sense of humor. lol

DANGER WARNING: This guy says to put most of your weight on your back foot. This is inviting death, especially on an e-skate where high speeds are common. Absolutely terrible advice. Every skater, longboarder, snowboarder, etc should all know that your C.O.M. (center of mass) needs to be focused over the front of your board (more weight on your front foot) for reasons of stability, balance and control. Humans like to be oriented upright, so when your board is going down an incline it's even more important to focus on putting your weight forward because your natural instinct is to pull back. This causes speed wobbles and a loss of control and is the #1 cause of accidents at speed on a skateboard. Be safe, be smart, put your weight over your front foot at all times - especially when you're going fast or down a hill.

*buys both*

But ur testing two diff boards

Wow the UK sucks. Y’all need some freedom 🇺🇸
