Meepo Hurricane vs Evolve Hadean electric skateboard review - What you should know before buying 

(PLEASE READ ) There was a error on our part We now know that they are using different cells but still same configuration so you will get roughly the same range on both boards and really when it comes to the cells that are being used. It’s doesn’t really matter there is no point in putting a cell in a board that’s 45amps when the board uses 10 amps from that cell it’s doesn’t make sense! The cells that are in the Evolve are in there because that’s the right cell for that boards power consumption. The battery in the meepo is complete overkill the battery is capable of 180amps yet they are using 70amps max of that battery so it’s complete overkill and has only been used because people don’t understand why evolve is using those cells. You wouldn’t make a Lamborghini with 1000bhp and give it to the customer with 400bhp doesn’t make sense so the cells have been chosen for the board based on the amount of power consumption that particular board is using. Hope this makes sense 👍🏼 Also regarding the reverse function we know that it has a reverse but you have to actually click button in order to activate it that doesn’t sound like a big deal but is actually a major inconvenience I am using a board with smart reverse this requires no additional buttons to be pressed bringing the board to a complete stop on a hill and hold the brake down with slowly reverse the board meaning no stepping of the board and if you over shoot your stop you can reverse back slowly doesn’t seem like a killer feature but it actually is so handy once you have had it on you board hope this helps 👍🏼

I have a Hurricane and it definitely has reverse. Double press the power button. Great comparison 👍🏽

The "Hi guys, Chris from hockey tuturial" is something I can´t take off my mind, i´ve been watching your other channel for years and recently found this one, it´s awesome and well structured as your other channel, congrats dude!!!

I just got a Hurricane so I'm clearly team Meepo and this video is frustrating for me. I feel that there are at least a couple misrepresentations / errors that should be corrected in order to be fair (not just blown off in the comments). Meepo uses the good performance battery cells while the Hadean has inferior battery cells . But you stated more than once that "they use the SAME battery cells". You have a strong influence on our community, and in my opinion a responsibility to get the facts straight in the video portions. If you want to maintain your integrity, I think you should make the appropriate corrections to the video itself rather than downplay the misrepresentations in the comments.

Hey! Thanks for a great video. Not sure if anyone has commented on this before but the Hurricane has a reverse. Just double tap the power button. It also has a cruise control. Hold the throttle steady at your preferred cruising speed, then simultaneously press the power button once to activate it.

I love your channel. Thanks for starting off with pricing. That indeed is on people minds, as is servicing - something so lacking in discussion by other RU-vidrs whose only priority is to sell a board no matter the cost. You really do address your videos with the consumer in mind. Much appreciated and very refreshing.

+1 for waterproof test :) then warranty replacement board experience video please

Thank it has been very useful for me, this review

I went from Meepo V3 to Meepo V4 to Meepo Hurricane. I have a little over 2000 miles on the budget boards with zero downtime due to part failures. I have 400 miles on the Hurricane and suffered no downtime but did receive three separate warranty part replacements in the mail. I would suggest that everyone use the chat function on the Meepo website when they have issues instead of emailing them. Also be respectful and clear with your issues. I have found Meepo's customer service to be way better than reported by the internet. I don't live in London and I don't have an Evolve service center anywhere near me. How is packaging up an entire skateboard and sending it off in the mail better than getting a part in the mail? I started off with the Meepo remote and I love the Meepo remote. I value the adjustability of the brakes and the MEEPO REVERSE FUNCTION I have never wanted anything more. I will acknowledge that a Ferrari has a better steering wheel than a Corvette. I value the fact that if I break or lose my Meepo Remote, for $60 I can have another one within 2 weeks vs the Evolve remote which is three times the cost. I live in the US. Since Evolve has storefronts here you have to pay taxes on their online purchases. I could buy two hurricanes for the price of a Hadean plus extra remote. At the end of the day, each one of the Hurricanes will be faster where it matters than the Hadean... You really need to see Fred's top speed video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d3G87_cjtxo.html Concerning the IP rating ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NfHL4MT_7cQ.html Why didn't you cover the Chinese cells in the Evolve, what is the battery sag like compared to the Meepo?

Great vid, really helpful to see a detailed comparison. Would love to see more of your views on the exway atlas. Specifically the atlas 2wd vs hadean carbon all terrain. As you mention the spec on the sites doesn't tell the whole story. I need this type of detailed comparison to really tell the boards apart. Hope you wanna make this vid! :)

Yes I would like to see the water test I’ve been watching you guys for a while

Very good review

Yes I like to see the water test

Definitely would love to see the waterproof test

nice review! one note, my buddy has the Meepo hurricane. I have seen him use the reverse feature!

Very professional Review. And yes u are right, the Hurricane i am driving by myself is fantastic, but the bushings are a bit to soft for highest speeds.

The Hurricanes price is so low, it's almost fair to compare it to the GTR instead of the Hadean. So many more GOOD options nowadays than a few years back.

Wicked Channel! I have just borrowed a friends Meepo Hurricane and live in the UK so testing out it's waterproof ability will be tested at some point. I have never ridden a electric skateboard until a few days ago and they are so much fun. Where in the UK can you buy the better bushing for the trucks you mentioned? This video was really informative.

Great video. I would love to see I comparison between Evolva Hadean and Eovan GTS Super!

Yes! Please do ip67 test on meepo! It Quitos be deciding factor on which board I purchase! Thank you for such a comprehensive review! Cheers from the USA!

I just hit 1050 km on Meepo. I do agree with 12:30 but I just change my riding style and it is not problem at all. You have to be skilled like these guys to feel it.

Me and my dad have just purchased both of these boards, but in bamboo. Really quite amazing how different the two are. The Hadean is truly ballistic for the first 10mph, it surprised me so much how fast it felt, the hurricane is just not as quick for that initial acceleration. Then from 10/15mph the hurricane really starts pulling hard. Both very enjoyable boards though.

Another great video, but there might be a small error. Maybe at 20:25 I misunderstood? The Meepo Hurricane does have Reverse - double tap the power button. Double tap again to go back to forward.

I absolutely love my Meepo Hurricane!

Hey boys great video again, I personally have the bamboo Hadean and love it , I’m curious have you guys explained what happened with your board business and your absence , just curious

Thank you

Got to do the Zeus. I think that's a real winning situation for sure. Evolve has come a long way with their product but I think it blends in nicely to the rest of them as a premium option. Meepo definitely put itself on the map with the hurricane.

Does a faster charger lower the battery life over all?

Good Video.. The Meepo Hurricane and Kaly XL40 might be an interesting comparison video as well. The extra range, faster speeds, and stiffer decks on both the XL40 and the Hurricane is appealing. I like your videos. Dude. 😊🛹😊🛹

What would you recommend for bushings for the Hurricane ? I am 170 lbs

Would love to see the Meepo submerged!!! Onsra just put up a video spraying down their new board very impressive

sehr hilfreich, danke!

I own the bamboo Hadean and love it, total carve machine. I am not concerned about being the fasted kid on the street, I much prefer the flex, carve, and power. In Corsa mode the thing is a beast, I can ride till my legs give in way before the battery comes close to done.

Thanks for the video, I did watch before I made my purchase. I was hoping you could answer a quick question. What did you set your wheel speed at on the Meepo with the larger wheels. With the stock wheels 155mm the wheel speed is set at 68. I have 190mm wheels what wheel speed do I use. I contacted Meepo support and they told me set it at 68 but that's the stock setting. Meepo has given me wrong product info multiple times. I am thinking wheel speed should be around 71. What do you think?

When you do the overlap video of the overhead drone shots can you distinguish the boards with a marker somehow. Other than that great video thank you very much

PLEASE do the water test I would love to know!

Instead of submerging the board in a meter of water, you could submerge the board in just enough water to cover it. Then you can try a deeper depth like 0.5 meters then one meter.

What upgrade bushings do you recommend for these electric boards?

Would be interesting if you guys could test Ownboard Zeus Pro (not DKP but seems amazing) and Tynee Explorer (it should be live on their website later this week, they had it live earlier this week)

Meepo has reverse lol just double tap the on button on the remote when the board is still

Ridiculous comments in this review.. OMG their battery is too good, their motors are too big.. First, the fact is that the molicel p42a is easily the best value for a 21700 battery, it easily outperforms other cells in its category (high-discharge) by a mile and delivers it with a more capacity than most (range) . The closest to it is the Samsung 40t and it comes at price that's about 50% more. Better battery means less voltage sag throughout the use of the pack. Those motors may not be the highest output for their size, but they're still higher watt and will not overheat (ahem.. GTR).. Therefore, you can get consistent performance and riding experience from the pack and the motors from 100% all the way through to the end. C'mon guys the only thing transparent about these reviews is your obvious bias toward evolve.

I'm a new viewer and love your comparison video. Very thorough and informative 👌. I'm thinking of getting either the evolve haden or one wheel. Two very different categories. Keep up the quality content 👍

the evolve has a ip55 rating. regarding water, this is the same then ip65 (hurricane) the "6" means better dust protection only. (first number = dust protection level, second number = water protection level)

Hi. How do you get the 3rd person view? Is someone following you? Do you have a RC follow me car? Great review

sure, I would like to see test for IP67 .

Please do test the waterproofing of the Meepo.

Evolve hadean carbon owner here i rode about 50 miles on a single charge and still had 25% battery

Meepo Hurrican vs Ownboard Zeus Pro!

U sure the meepo doesnt have reverse? My meepo does. You double click the on off button on the remote and it will switch between forward and reverse. Also my meepo has a cruise control function on my renote which i dont use very often but its nice to have.

Have you tried the hadean on a 6 inch I have 6 inch from my GTR so curious.

What do you think of the Lacroix Barrel?

Would love to see onsra bc2 vs bc3 vs hadean

Your video is great ! What helmet are you wearing ? Its nice .

I purchased a Meepo Hurricane May 1st. I have yet to be able to ride it. I have gone back and fourth with Meepo for over a month. The battery charger was bad and It took almost 25 days to diagnose and get me a new one. Now, it appears also something on the ESC is bad. I'm so frustrated. I'm considering going through my credit card company and trying to get a refund to order something better that can handle customer service issues.

Bro where you buy your backpack from this video?

I wonder how easy it is to get Meepo parts.

Of course you have to submerge the Hurricane in water, although if there is water ingress it may take a while for it to get damaged.

Very good review !!!! Even harder to choose now… 🤦‍♂️

The Hurricane has reverse? Double tap the power button

Meepo customer service is great! I had a part shipped from their country to the US took only a few days. If you decide to try the discovery cloud wheels they are fun as well.

Hey there… I am new to this eskate hobby and I have never been on a skate or board or what so ever… Is this all terrain eskate boards for beginners. Thanks

you guys should review the riptide bushing kit for DKP.

It really comes down to do you wanna Mustang or a BMW?

Whilst I do agree with EVERYTHING you’ve said I.e the Meepo remote and build quality etc. I’m an evolve guy for sure also as a previous GTR owner. What I don’t agree with is the justification of the +$900 for the evolve is just hard to justify, the meepo has the same If not a better battery pack which you missed. It also has some nice features that the Haden is lacking like hill hold assist etc. the Haden remote is kick ass though huge improvement over the R2

What about the remotes? I would have gone to Evolve a long time ago, but their push button remote sucks balls. So I stuck with an old Boosted Stealth, and have enough spare parts to run it for 20+ years. Including spare everything.

1. What happend with unknown boards? 2. Review flux motion 3. Kaly 3. La croix

We all know average eskate reviews is pro Evolve. However i think this review was fair. 1 point that was made was support, What is support for a USA Customer? I understand buy local... but im no where near london.

Don’t dunk your meepo underwater. I crashed alongside a little creek, and my board went in. It was hardly enough water to go over the deck, and it might have been in there for two minutes. Landed on its wheels. It still works, but when I got it home I took it apart and found probably 1/4 cups worth of water inside the board. All the seals were installed well, but there was still a fair amount of water that found it’s way inside.

idk what you're saying about the bushings because I've heard pretty decent things about them u until now

I do prefer the Hadean. But I have to say, Meepo really have outdone themselves with the hurricane. I would always go for a more local company (Like Evolve), the build quality is outstanding and you know what you get. However I cant deny that hurricane is outstanding for the price, yes you will have to wait for parts to be shipped if anything goes wrong. but, what Meepo have packed in for the price is incredible.

Good comparison. Saw the Hurricane on sale for 1399 during Black Friday, on an Instagram ad. Went to the website: 1799. Emailed Meepo about it, just got a "You are too late price is 1799 now" email. Saw the same 1399 ad the next 4 days promoted... Went for the Hadean, love it. Had some issues but Evolve Germany solved it fast and gave me some extra goodies. Plus they sent emails days after to check if everything was OK. Bought Meepo's Cyclone wheels for the Hadean. After some km's they started to "click". Changed bearings twice to a different - and a new set. Still clicked. Emailed Meepo and they just asked if I had thightened them enough. Yeah like that would be the issue. Evolve adviced to add some grease in there and that fixed it. Long story short: Really happy I ended up with my Carbon Hadean.

20mph feels really fast on a skateboard. I love how you broke down the acceleration of them. Very hard to find acceleration tests online. It would have been nice if you actually had the boards.

Ip 67 is why I bought a hurricane

Wish there was a board for heavier riders other than just the hurricane

lol you're bad! "plus I have a Ricky at home" hahaha

miles phantom review plz

can you compare the ownboard zues pro to similar boards

awesome video again guys. my favorite channel. its funny how some ppl get angry about the truth of experience with these boards. ppl need to stop lookin at JUST price and a spec sheet. i been sayin that since day 1.. My two cents: meepo hurricane is VERYYYYY thick and heavy. both setups are 100% stiff, but u feel its “more stiff” because its much heavier and thicker. i personally dont like that. that leads on to my next opinion. the hurricane rides like a bigger board.. i think thats why u hate the bushings. i feel the board VERY stable for dkp. i did 40mph with it and handled it fine. I do agree the hadean is muchhh smoother and has more initial acceleration. but after about 15mph, it takes off.. the bad part about the hurricane is the trucks. the rear trucks are breaking on a LOT of riders. im on my 3rd set of rear trucks. and im also on my second battery with them. a lot of customers r havin this issue and also having a rattling noise from the rear/bashguard.. now that leads to my next experience input: customer service.. evolve reached out to there customers TWICE about 2 different issues.. where other companies that dont invest with usa customer service, dont even respond when u have a issue. imagine saving 200-800 dollars and then being screwed cuz u cant get your cheaper board fixed.. the usa customer service with 25 retailers with parts in stock is amazing.. technology/features: no other company has a board with a remote with a on board cell diagnostic system WITH this power/range/2 in 1 and with built in lights with over 20 programs and a military grade remote.. no one.. so all this has VALUE. to me, its 100% worth it. if u only value speed and have a smaller budget, the meepo hurricane is a ANIMAL. it beat anything i put it against and ill never sell it.. ending on a postive note, companies are listening to us by finallyyyy creating 2 in 1 FLEX decks withhhh this powrr/range/technology.. just like the bamboo hadean.. iv been sayn a little over a year, 2 in 1 boards are here to stay and in my opinion are the best for eskate 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯💯💯

Couldn’t agree more re service. I actually have a few different boards, including Exway and Evolve. Great support from Evolve re parts etc, and I love the carve, and bamboo vs carbon. Having said that, these days pretty much the only thing I ride is my Onewheel Pint, so agile and nimble (even if underpowered, and slower) - getting back on the boards feels like getting back on a tractor, and of course Onewheel has just about the worst service support ever, so I guess ride experience can be king.

I have been on alot of Meepos. I think they are cheap. At the similar price point, I would much rather have the Onsra BC3. These boards are incredible.

I don't believe they are using the same battery. evolve is 691wh and meepo is 725wh and based on the output currents of each battery, I'm guessing evolve is using a cell simular to the 40t but they don't state what cells are used so Im thinking its some cheaper alternative

Wowgo AT 2+ Please!

Please submerge board I have a meepo hurricane I'm too afraid to do it

Both these boards are a gimmick, but I still watched. Nice video 🤙

my haden tops 32 im 200 punds with abec107

I ride a meepo mini 2 er. Old one that still rips. I will say, there customer service is trash. However, you could damn near buy 2 of those meepos for nearly the same price. You dont have to deal with their service, just jump on the back up while u figure the first one out lol.

Let's see that board under water. I once saw a video that a guy rode his exway under a foot & half of water keep working like nothing 😅

Meepo has reverse, you gotta tap the power button on the remote twice

What is your relationship with both companies?

There’s a reason for everything Evolve does. Top Speed for instance is based upon safety. Why does the Meepo have a strange acceleration curve? I don’t think anyone knows but meepo.

Chuck the hurricane in the river let’s see it lol

Does not agree wth hadean charging time : 3hours MAX to full charge it from 0% instead of 4hours you said. Also, way better to keep a slow charger to preserve battery life and to enjoy your board for a much longer time😉

Submerge the meepo please!

Did anyone ever try submerging the Meepo - because I call shenanigans on that IP67 claim.

Meepo always lies about their water resistance, i dont understand why, i had to email the to understand if it's true or false.

There is true about what you a saying, but Evolve is still experience, my old board was Evolve GTX, now I have Eovan carbon super, it's very powerful💪 and beautiful. Evolve have to do something about his price.

$2700 vs $1700

As many extras you get with buying an evolve board that most other companies dont even offer, why would i pay $2500 for a board that is using knock off batteries. This is the biggest cost of these boards and for Evolve trying to be the best premium company, why are they not using the top of the line batteries that almost every other company that they complete with use? I do believe they make some of the best production boards around but for them it skimp out on the most important part of Eboards, really makes me question their asking price.

Can’t beat the look of the evolve.

Go watch my lastest vid I put my meepo underwater and it’s still fine
