MEEPO MADNESS | PART 2 | First look at the Meepo Atom Mini 3s 

I work in a primary school. One of the Dads drops his year one daughter off on his electric long board. She stands between his legs with her arms wrapped around his legs. Both of them have the biggest smiles when they are riding. At school all of the staff refer to him as the coolest parent at school. The natural progression from a regular board to a e skateboard, for me, was encouraged by seeing the joy in both their eyes when riding.

I was addicted to watching the downhill "raw run" videos. Especially the couple that were shot in/around Columbia. The thought of going that fast on a board was definitely drawing me in, but terrified me at same time. I had seen several ads for Backfire Boards and looked into it. Decided 35mph on an electric would be a bit safer than 70mph with no brakes. I've been through 5 boards since then. ESK8 has become my favorite thing in life.

Started on a penny board, and just couldn’t enjoy longer rides especially on sidewalks. Looked into longboards and entered the world of eskates. The idea of moving easily without much effort was the selling point for me.

I had no idea of electric boards last year. I have a couple of longboards which I use for downhill and watched a lot of downhill freeride videos. One day the video menu put up an "electric group ride" video which I thought was going to be all bikes. Turns out the guy leading the ride was on a big E board. I was shocked.that such a thing existed.....then the light turns green and this guy just takes off. Right then and there I knew I would get one. (I was like WTF?) Found your channel and binge watched pretty much all your videos and learned about the different types of decks, motors, speed controls, and batteries. Took awhile to decide. I started skateboarding in 84' as a kid, got into it again 5 years ago. Also rode and raced dirtbikes most of my life. Also been riding sportbikes most of my life. I also built a high horsepower crazy ass vintage Camaro. Point of this is that I got my 1st E-board April 13 or 14th and it is the most fun I've had in years. (I can't get off the thing, I just turned 800km a few hours ago.) The E board is like a combination of my Car, RCs and motorcycles all in one and makes me feel like I'm 15 years old instead of 52. My family & friends think I'm nuts, but I think I got my niece hooked last weekend. I got the EoVan Carbon Silo with belt drive and so far no issues with it. Put harder Riptide bushings in it as you suggested and regularly run it at top speed. Thanks for making the research a little easier. Best money I ever spent.

Spent my younger years long boarding then after a few years away from that I saw a video randomly on RU-vid and have been hooked every since.

I´ve never ride an e-skate before. But I got into this world thanks to RU-vid videos and i love it !!!

Saw a guy on an e-skate, got home and started watching YT vids, found your channel.. the rest is history 😊

i got into electric skateboarding because i always liked technology like drones and RC-cars (the once that go 60mph) and one off (ad that time) my favorite youtubers bought an e-board and when watching the video i already got stoked allot from just seeing him have so much fun on that e-board. So than i started saving up and watching a ton off video's thats when i found casey neistat and his esk8 boards he reviewed and showed in his vlogs. This was all in 2018 well before you started your channel i found your channel when searching for reviews off my second eboard the exway wave. After months off saving up i bought my first e-board and that's probably my best decision i made in my life.

I got into eskate while giving up an alcohol addiction it has been my moving meditation and now a great addition. I'm now 2 years sober and have built 2 of my own DIY boards.

At first I didn't know electric skateboards were a thing until I found out about them on your channel and other yt channels. Got me interested in it because I never longboarded in my entire life while living in Canada and when I got my cheap hub board from Indiegogo (I know I know..) I was excited. Got on it, had no gears and well.. got wrecked so many times and got confident over time so bought a helmet and got into ESK8 around 2019 or so. Esk8 changed my life and it gets rid of stress when I am out there riding!

Hello again Scott! Informative review as always! :) my extreme e-sk8board obsession definitely started about 22 months ago when school became in-person again after corona! Everyone had come back with electric sk8boards and was flying around like future people!!! It was so magical seeing them fly!! I NEEEEEED ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! If not from this giveaway, it will be with my own hard earned money after I someday pay off my student loans :,( I graduated about 3 weeks ago! :) and started working 2 days after I graduated😂 (graduation was saturday may 6, and I started working in an office that is a 10 minute drive from my parent’s house on may 8)

I stumbled across a review on RU-vid and it reminded me how much I loved my push board as a child, so thought I'd give it a go and I fell In love all over again.

Well, i have been longboarding for two years now. And i really just want to relax sometimes. 😂 eboards seem so fun and carvy! This is how my husband and i found this channel. Looking at reviews!

Honestly I think I was at the store and was just thinkin and my brain thought, “Oh yeah electric skateboards” Started watching youtube videos (including yours) and eventually bought my v4.

Always wanted to get an esk8 but never pulled the trigger on it. Eventually the idea faded and I never really thought about it again. One day I was taking my young son out for a ride on his bicycle. I realized that he'd progressed to the point that I couldn't jog behind him anymore. I was going to need to get myself a bicycle to keep up with him. I wasn't that keen since the idea of casually riding a bicycle seemed really boring, but what are you going to do, right? A little while later on that same ride, this guy ripped past us on an esk8. I was amazed. Scrapped the bicycle idea, and jumped onto RU-vid to start "researching" esk8s. Found your channel and ordered my first board within 2 days. Thanks for all the reviews. You made finding that entry level board a breeze! So glad I didn't get a bicycle.

I used to snowboard when I was younger. Kept seeing ads for the summer boards. Finally started looking at all the different options out there and ended up landing on my Flex for cruising around town.

I skated when I was young and now I am more looking into electric skateboarding as im older. For the most part this is because of RU-vid videos that got me hooked into electric skateboarding.

My friend got an electric board for christmas and he let me try it for maybe 5 minutes and I was sold lmao. It was about a months wait and the more I watched videos about them and discovered your channel I couldn’t wait more and more😂

The freedom and adventure. Have a 2stroke board but as soon as a mate showed me his esk8 I was hooked. Cheers mate

The thing that got me into electric skateboarding was an old blue pinstriped arrowhead deck Li-Lo board which was absolutely rubbish at 8mph, no brakes, cabled remote with pressure pad on switch. It used THREE 6v lead-acid alarm battery packs which cost me £20 EACH! My first decent electric skateboard was a blue Yuneec Ego-2 model, fantastic deck shape, single belt-driven motor, 12mph. As you can imagine, any model after these two impressed me!

Hi Scotty, I got into electric skateboarding when I needed a car to get back and forth to work but didn’t want to pay for all the expenses that come along with it. I used to take public transportation but even that wasn’t dependable because the buses would arrive late or not at all. I needed something portable. The electric bike and scooter seemed to big to carry around and sort of dorky looking. I’m glad I chose an electric skateboard, it checked all the boxes for me.

I live 10 miles from my work in downtown San Diego in CA. I ride my Atom to the city trolley 3 miles from my place so I skate 6/7 miles everyday as part of my commute to work. Soo fun!!!! Once a week I skate the whole way to downtown and it takes 45 minutes to cover the 10 miles at top speed. So much fun

What did it for me was seeing others riding and having a blast riding down the road. Fun alternative for commuting and getting around!

I used to have an electric bike but it broke down and in my town bikes get stolen all the time. Needed another way to get around and was always interested in skating but never learned. Bought a Meepo Mini 2 as my first board and since then I now have 9 boards 😅. Could always have more!!

Wanting to commute to school easily and now its the most fun part of my day.

Its good to see that this mini Board has a Stopper. For me, a important think.

Saw one wheels around town so went online and found my true passion. E-skate!!!

I’m an old school skater and snowboarder and finally talked my wife into letting me invest in a esk8. Upping my life insurance helped too😂 now completely addicted and about to invest in my next board 🤙🏽 helped by watching all of your reviews so cheers Scott.

my Wife gave me one for Xmas and fell in love with Eboard have been stake boarder rider all my life but now at 45 enjoying Eboards so much more

I actually started e-scooter-ing before Covid and before the e-scooter craze took off as a last mile commute but found them a bit unwieldy on the tubes in London. Then suddenly E-Scooters really took off in the UK and it became so common that i decided to go into ESK8; plus so much more portable especially on trains and tubes. Luckily i used to skate back in the day (like 30yrs ago now) so picking it back up wasn't too bad. Been watching your channel as well as Dkwan and Ronnie for over a year now.....great job guys!! 👏👏

i love the look of this one - scalloped out wheels are a must for me on shortboards being a heavier rider, wheelbite is top of mind but normally just tictacking around sharper turns is no a probs at all. have always been a skater and got my (then) 10 year old into skating and then he started asking for an eBoard. got him a cool little starter board for xmas that year and thought it looked so much fun i got myself one so we could go out shredding together, the rest is history

⚡👌🏼👌🏼⚡ *Softer bushings in the front and it's grear* Minis are too much fun to ignore! First saw an eBoard in a soccer boot review and then in 2017 saw NYC esk8 videos on youtube, Tishawn, PressReset... had to get a board after that! Yes, tail puck, thank you!

Wanting to commute last mile with something but not lug a large and heavy electric scooter onto the train. That's what got me into electric skateboarding.

My friend had one for the longest time. Bought a meepo v4 for commuting around campus at my university. Now I’m upgrading to an Ownboard Zeus Pro Max. Super excited!

Thanks Scott! Lockdown summer, 2020, I saw lots of Scooters, a few ESC's walking around my downtown core in with nothing doing... but I only saw 2 Guys and a gal on their eSk8, carving in the quite, looking free, I had to try!

Well my mate lent me his Enertion raptor to fix. Naturally being old and never having got the hang of standing up on skateboards as a kid, I thought they were a stupid idea. But after replacing the remote (which was shot) and balancing the battery (which was too unbalanced to charge), I needed to test it. Nek minnit... 50km/h in a shirt and shorts with no helmet and I was hooked. Now I have my own board... and appropriate safety gear.

It's the beauty of moving from place to place while enjoying the board AND the views. The freedom of riding uphill effortlessly and having control downhill. Not gonna lie that Casey N. was a part of it too ✌️ It's the freedom. Cheers Scotty

I am a snowboarder, so when I saw your review of the Propel End Pro 1, I decided to get one, and my eskate journey began.

My son came back home from the Army for good 2 years ago, and he came home with a meepo and I rode it and was hooked!!! 46 years old, 2 years 17 boards later😂

I started seeing videos of e-skate and it got me excited to carve around town for a few hours.

I stumbled upon a Casey Neistat video of him zooming around nyc on his boosted board, then went searching for you tubers in Australia to see what it was all about ! Subscribed to your channel Scotty and after about six months of watching you have the time of your life, took the plunge and bought an entry level hub drive to test the waters... and loved it! (And still do!) Upgraded to a belt drive carbon fibre board soon after and thats next level ! So i have you to thank my man!

Hi Scotty, great review! The only thing I really wanted to move freely and without much effort from A to B, to see many new places and to fit myself a bit with those Carving Moves.. you know what I mean ;)

As always love your work Scotty. I grew up with either surf or snow as riding options, and was into long boarding as well. While headed down to my favourite surf spot at 13th beach, a few guys were carving on the road ahead of my car and I thought nothing of it till they started going uphill!!! Game changer I followed them for a bit and ended up having a chat. They were riding boards they had built themselves, and man were these things sketch. But I jumped on one and I was hooked, haven’t looked back since!

What got me wanting an esk8. Watching someone carving hard going uphill. I was sold after that.

Getting to and from places fast and conveniently all the while having fun doing it! That plus unlike a bike I dont need to lock anything up, I can just take it with me! It got even more fun when my son was little as I could skitch him along on his scooter and he loved it.

Enjoyed the downhill aspects of skateboarding but not the push back up so now I get the best of both worlds!

What got me into esk8 was your videos I watch one video u posted and I was hook ! U do top notch reviews ! Great stuff !

My home town is kinda small, saw a vid pop up on my RU-vid suggestions and started watching. My town is perfect for commuting. Even with a smaller battery I would be able to cross town and back without much issue. Started following your vids (subscribed) and was hooked!

I got into electric skateboards, because as a kid, there was an ad in Thrasher magazine for a proto type kit that would retrofit a gas motor to your existing skate. The kit never made it to market, but the seed was planted in my head for a motorized skateboard. Then around 2004 I saw some websites for ⚡️🛹⚡️s and kept an eye on things for 18 years until the price of the technology and my budget intersected.

I have skated since early 80's. Always wanted a motorized board. Tried to make one in high-school metal/auto shop. My teacher was helping me. Tried to buy a used weed-wacker motor from our gardner, my Mom found out and canceled the whole project! Super excited when eboards arrived in 2013/2014?! My dream finally came true!!

I remember as a kid I went to a surf shop and they had this monstrous skateboard with I think literal lead acid batteries. The deck was nearly 20cm thick and the throttle was a cable attached to the board with a cable brake too. Huge wheels and weighed like 50kg but I was awestruck. 15 years later I finally realised that dream, with a way lighter, faster, and more practical board 🤙🏼

Isolation during the pandemic a few years ago got me thinking about getting back into skateboarding at 55 years old. I skateboarded as a kid but that was many moons ago. First I got a non electric longboard. 2 months later I had a Meepo V4S. 5 months later I had a Meepo Voyager. So much fun. Love the videos and reviews Scott.

Ohhhhhhh video is up!!

I lived in a flat city all my childhood. I started college in a very hilly town. Walking was very much undesirable. I stumbled upon a video by Ronnie and figured I probably could ride an electric longboard. So I bought the V3 soon thereafter

I have skateboarded since I was a young child. What got me into Esk8 was seeing my youngest step son riding his electric longboard and trying it out on his. I was instantly hooked riding uphill vs pushing🤙

Great video I just ordered a meatball 3-adam love the board getting back into it again cheers

Thnx again for this nice video Scott.

Was always gona get a longboard cruiser when i finished normal skateboarding. When electric skateboards came along it was a no brainer to get one and yes i first saw them on RU-vid.

I was just shopping for the meepo atom and looking for a review, and guess what? My favorite reviewer posted this video 2hrs ago. What a treat! For the contest, the reason why I got into eskate is to wander around my neighborhood and get some fresh air. I'm also thinking about bringing it with me on roadtrips for sight seeing.

I use to skateboard as a kid and my car recently broke down and i've seen people zip around on all kinds on P.E.V's here in the city. So i figured why not try this. I only work a couple miles away and its mainly paved so using one of these to get to and from work would be pretty fun.

I got so tired of walking the same mile uphill every day that I started wishing I had wheels on my feet and now I'm looking for my first board!

One day, I randomly came across a eskate group ride on RU-vid and immediately got hooked up. After that I just wanted a way to commute feeling more freedom and fun. A board came as a great solution. Now I can't stay without taking it everywhere.

I got into Esk8 while I was watching a Jay Boston video, way back when he first started reviewing boards.

I'm not really looking to win but I do want this out there: I got into eskates because I got a new job in which I cannot drive to anymore. The train station is a significant distance away from home and taking the bus to there takes as much time as walking--around 20 minutes or more. Moreover, the bus schedule is unreliable--I was never certain if I was early or late when I get to the bus stop. Walking is fine if you're not pressed for time but that's more than 40 minutes I will lose every work day, 40 minutes that I'd rather use for more enjoyable things in life. An eskate halves that travel time to the train station and I can also predictably tell which train I can catch when I get to the station.

Would love to win it, basically I was a sponsored skater and could no longer skate due to my older age, I’d always seen petrol boards but they always looked to clunky. Fell in love with electric skateboards years later, had a terrible evolve GT that locked up brakes at random, was terrible but wasn’t enough to stop me, I’ve had around 8 boards come and go since 😁 I honestly only had a onewheel for years but you got me back in to real boards.

Had heard about esk8 here and there but they were more toys back then . About 4 years ago I saw an add for evolve . And soon worked out they had become serious big boy toys . Just had to get one . Now have two and looking to get the whole family moving

I had been windsurfing when i was 12-14 years old and had always been fascinated with the idea of surfing on land. Seeing a lot of e-skate review (yours included) really got me exited an interested, so when i finally got my first board in 2020 i haven't been able to stop since. Clocked over 10.000 miles on my Meepo NLS alone. Now im nearly 1.000 miles on my Teamgee H20 mini. An upgrade would be nice however:)

bought a first gen xiaomi back then when escooters werent yet a thing. that thing died after 7 year of daily commute then I decided to try something else. it took some courage but esk8 fitted perfectly my commuting needs (short distances and maximum portability), I just needed to learn how to ride. after 6 months in the hobby I can say it was totally worth it!

Got a surf skate during lockdown as couldn’t surf. Still use it but couldn’t push it well with wobbly trucks like skateboards I used to ride, so the distance rides I had in mind were out. Then saw E skates online (including your channel Scott) and wanted to try it. No more pushing or wiggling, just effortless gliding and carving, what’s not to like. The rest is smiles 🤙

Randomly bumped into a guy who was riding one and was lucky enough to let me have a try..hooked on the idea of getting one ever since. Haven't had the opportunity to own a board yet but yeah that's the goal to get one. Wishlist! 🤙🏻

I'm convinced you can fit the larger 8Ah battery into this.

Another sterling review Scott- nice one. Why electric skateboards - it was a natural transition from building electric bikes. E-Sk8s are so much more portable and versatile as you almost have 2 full hands free whilst riding (good for filming, gesturing, etc, etc).

That board looks pretty perfect

I was looking for a pev that wasn't an ebike, since I have a really nice mountain bike and didn't want to get caught up in the ebike ease. Was looking at a bunch of channels reviewing eucs and onewheels when your channel actually popped up. That first one I think was an old hurricane review, and from then on esk8 had been my primary interest.

I got into esk8 because I could not travel to the snow to snowboard during COVID.... electric longboards looked like I could carve in similar ways to snowboards... now I have an esk8 collection (well, 4 boards)

What got me into Esk8? Your videos :)

For me it was random guy who I saw during walk around city. He had massive diy mountain board so ofc I started looking for my first electric board.

Commuting to school is what got me into eboard

I had this dream about trying to be a skater and combined with commuting. I have been looking for a short board for long time but cant decide wich one to choose. Im 100 kg myself and live in hilly Norway so i would love to try it out!

I was thinking about inventing it and then realized that it’s pretty much solid technology already 😂 So that’s what got me into it😋

Another awesome video on an interesting board Recently i saw some friends from highschool and got me to pull out my Carver Skateboard when playing with my kids. Ever since then I have been looking to get that thrill i use to get bombing hills when i was younger but without the hill bombing part lol

That thing looks amazing

My friend was moving and decided to clean up his house and I decided to buy a v2 from him for $160. It sure beat walkin and I had to keep one forever

I got into eskating when a friend of mine let me cruise downtown Phoenix with him. He is a twin and his brother was working so I got to use his. I was gifted an escooter and found myself riding with no hands and that has gotten me to really want to get a eskateboard.

I've always liked longboarding and being able to get around a city on an e-board has been amazing. Haven't moved my car in a month!

I needed a last mile PEV and started researching e-bikes. Then I found one of your videos on the Propel Endeavor Pro. I skated as a kid and esk8 seemed like a more fun and more portable solution.

When my mate Scotty D said come check what I got for my birthday it’s in the trunk - he let me ride his first electric skateboard and I was hooked.

Being board with Covid, and I used to skate when I was a kid, (I'm 47 😊)

My younger brother had one and got me into riding.

Hi Scott, I had been watching electric skateboard videos for a while but what pushed me over the edge was sitting in a park one day and enjoying live and seeing someone on an electric skateboard going up a pretty steep slope and looking as happy and content as can be and there and then I decided to get myself one of those feel-good machines as well.

A friend letting me take a ride while drinking in the city 😂

i tried a few of the earlier eskates and they were jerky on acceleration and the same for braking but once the esc operations / abilities became reliable and smooth making riding enjoyable i decided to buy one finally

One of the managers at my previous job was the owner of multiple Esk8 and Onewheel and one day at lunch, he asked me if I wanted to go for a ride. From then it was a daily meetup hehe!

I saw a pilot on RU-vid using an electric board in the airport and outside of the airport. Being early in my aviation career, I saw that and wanted that life.

I was looking for a Onewheel originally. But saw they were expensive and kinda dangerous. Came across esk8 videos during that and it took off from there. Seemed more fun, way more options and more affordable. I ended up getting boards and scooters for the whole family.

I always liked skateboarding. Wanted a Boosted but it wasn’t available in my region. When China board began poping up I didn’t think twice.

After years of skating on self propelled boards and motorcycle racing I was looking for a safer sport that is low cost (setup and ongoing) and was also a bit slower paced. Got an electric scooter but too boring so had a ride of a passing skater and knew I'd found my niche. Nothing like a night ride listening to tunes.

I was a skater from way back when and wanted to get back into it. I was too unfit for kick pushing and my wife was sick to death of eboards popping up on her FB ads so she got me a boosted mini. What a woman..

I've been riding a reguler skateboard for years,and i watched unbox thearpys video on the lou board and ever since than ive been looking at eboards to buy

So what’s the differences between this and meepo mini 2? Pros/cons
