Revel Kit Electric Skateboard (Review) 

So fun to see those slides and carves! Killing it with that setup. Thanks for the love and for some really good insights-we're taking some notes for the future. Yes the battery is quite secure in order to stay put while riding, but we know what you mean when it's time to take it off. We've found that the easiest way to remove the battery is to get a bit more leverage. Try standing the deck up against your leg/hip-wheels out and front truck on top-then remove the battery by pulling up. We'll throw this tip in the user guide (which we also appreciate the shoutout for). Also: Though it might look a little strange, we actually have seen riders attach the rear-truck surfskate adapter too if you ever wanted to try giving it a spin. Appreciate all the quality content you have going on, we love to see it! 🤙

Amazing video, I absolutely love my revel kit. The versatility is worth the money alone. Cheers for the epic content bruh 🤙🏻

Always excited to see a new Shredshack video after all my classes. Awesome review guys!

Always watch until the end of the video! Loved it, liked it, shared it

Yesss I was literally just about to ask about an electric review Cheers man

This is a great kit. The remote is so smooth in regard to acceleration and braking. It's super quiet too. It's nice you dont have to drill holes to attach but one con you missed is that you can't do drop down/thru decks as I like to be lower to the ground but with bigger wheels (say 97). I have this kit on a Loaded Poke and Loaded Vanguard with ABEC11 Refly 97's and Cloudwheel 105's. I also made a folding board with a BoardUp hinge for travel. I would like to see a drop through version (to get lower to the ground), some added sleekness to the kit (wider or maybe longer battery so not so thick aka close to ground), a smaller remote but possibly same slider and smoothness - dont wanna mess that up (although this one works great with the stick on Shredlight adapter to have a night flashlight) and finally a "kiddy" speed mode to keep say level 1 at 5mph max. Level one still gets you to like 14 I think and that's too fast for a beginner. I dont ride mine much compared to my son so I am hoping longevity wise it will be good but havent had a single problem with mine for 2 years

wow, I actually have the same setup as your custom setup!! lots of fun.. love it so much..

Out of all the setups I’ve owned the revel setup isn’t the most powerful but it definitely was one of the most fun setups. I’d be switching wheels and decks every month and felt like I had a completely new esk8 board. I did eventually sell it for a more powerful, longer range setup but would definitely still pick up a revel kit if I came across a deal.

Awesome vid as always man, cool to see electric getting some love! Also was curious about reverse until you showed the board coming back at the end, could have maybe saved a board from a truck tire once (oops). Anyway I know Halloween isn't even here yet but was thinking it would be cool if you could do a video recommendation for maybe some do and don't gets for parents for Christmas coming up, or like your dream build board or just one you think would be hilarious to make like a double drop with surfskates and huge bigfoot wheels. Anyway always look forward to your videos man, thanks!

Can't wait until you do the unlimited x loaded kit

You always have the best videos

finally you released the video i remember recommending this to you on ig and yt. good video btw. If anyone here has some questions about the revel kit i can probably awnser it i've had it for some time and tried it with a lot off setups.

I've been thinking of trying the revel kit and attaching it to a board up folding longboard for the ultimate portable esk8 experience but I'm unsure how how the fit might be. Nice review bro! Love the content!

95-97mm wheels, waterbone surf skate adapter , clingfilm & swimmers cap for water & dust proofing. 8.25 inch deck Bam perfect electric skateboard ❤️

That behind the scenes clip was smooth af 🤣

Great review

The swappable battery pack is a nice feature 👍🏼

Thanks for including the Surf Adapter and so stoked that you liked it! It does look like the Unlimited E board kit will work with a Rail Adapter. At $1,200 it’s hard not to just buy a complete though.

Awesome video, If you’re not satisfied with the carving of this setup I would recommend trying some diy electric skateboard stuff (caliber ii trucks w/ motor mounts etc), I’m currently building an electric surf skate like this and the diy route allows me to run a waterborne rail adapter in the back, as well as customize the trucks however you like (44 or 50 degree baseplate for example) while still having lots of wheel choices and no motor clearance issues

Not gonna lie. That last clip was slick as hell

Great content, well done! BTW, yes you can setup the unlimited with any trucks on the back. I have an unlimited solo / loaded omakase with carver CX front and back. Works well with the obvious downsides of a single motor hub motor. Try it maybe with the race setup!

Your videos are the best

I have both the Revel kit and the unlimited race kit and my favorite is the Revel kit which is on the loaded Vanguard with 97mm ABEC 11 wheels which makes for a great and smooth ride. The unlimited race kit is great and you can use any truck, I have Paris v3's on an Icarus desk, the 2 hub motors are powerful, there are really only two limitations... First you can only use Caguama's which are great wheels but I miss the versatility of the direct drive where any wheel can be used and hub sleeves dont provide a lot of urethane to cushion poor road surfaces. Second its not as easy to extend the range on the unlimited kit by simply swapping out a battery as you would need to swap both at the same time which is quite expensive at $500). I am interested to see your review of the unlimited kit and how you would fit the surf adapter under the back truck, the battery plate would need to go on first followed by the adapter and then the truck so curious how that setup works for you. Great videos by the way!

i originally had my revel kit on my land yacht dinghy, then put some cloud wheels on it for extra clearance for the motors. that was fine for awhile, i liked the compact size of it. but it wasn’t comfortable enough for longer rides so i got a loaded vanguard for the flex deck, kept the clown wheels for the clearance on the motors, and slapped on a water boarne front truck adapter so i could still make decent turns with such a long board. ended up putting the water boarne back truck rail adapter on the dinghy with a yow meraki front truck. annnnnd now i’m trying to figure out a better deck to use instead of the dinghy, i want a longer, wider, board with some flex but not a long board

Excellent review and video. You're right for the difference in cost the extended range is a deal. My only hesitation with the kit is it's cost. For the price of the kit (no board) one is within a few bucks of a Lectric XP Lite e-bike. I'm wondering why the high cost?

I wanna see the loaded unlimited thingy now!! :D

Cool stuff as always! I've always wondered would Revel Kit fit in smaller deck like Tugboat or even Dinghy, might be a good material for upcoming videos!

great video! are still woth to buy it in 2023?

Great video! Please make a video on a e-board conversion with the rear waterborne adapter!

How does it feel when you break going downhill? Does it feel secure or it feels like you're about to be spit forward? This is one of my main doubts regarding electric kits, since I live in a not-so-flat area. Thank you!

Great review man I love my revel kit. Been using it for the last year with a smooth Star surf adapter which is great fun. Still using the standard wheels while waiting for my momentum wheels to finally ship. Saw your insta post sliding around and bought some 83a caguamas straight away. I saw your comment that you are using a Paris truck? Was that the truck u had in the video doing slides? Just front? Thinking it would be best to not have the surf adapter while trying to slide. Cheers

yea its hard to do that setup with the kit/truck in the rear.. best bet is to do a quality softer bushing in the rear. u can also get exway cnc high wall washers to help with stability along with tightening the rear truck with the softer bushings.. a 89a-90a riptide would be great. its hard to have a extreme carvey kicktail board AND to have high speed stability.. good stuff brotha 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Please review the Loaded Mata Hari!

If you can get your hands on a set, maybe try out a set of Major Arc trucks. I put them on my electric short board and it carves like crazy. Ronnie S. did a video about them a year ago. Keep up the great content!

Nice

Did you get any wheelbite with the custom setup and the omakase? And with the 90mm wheels?

Battery is easier to swap if the sliding rails get chain wax where the rubbing/ bind spots are.

Does is possible work whith a smaller board? Like the landyachts dinghy

🔥🔥

Please do exway flex

Do y'all think this would work okay with an Arbor Pocket Rocket or too small? I don't know much about electric kits.

Can you tell as which one is better the ONSRA CHALLENGER o this REVEL KIT price ? And if the REVEL KIT sale only in USA ?THAnks great video

amazing

Looking forward to the technology improving on the battery ranges. These would interest me if the range was more in the 30-40 mile range.

What's the app you used at 3:05

Would like a video of the Landyachtz Drop Cat 33

I'm down with this video. Cool ending. When you do 180s (ex 5:25) how do you handle the direction of the motor?

Can you do a review of the nkx maverick surfskate

wish it could have had a better battery setup, like at least a 12s4p so you could get some more speed out of the kit because there are alternative complete kit skateboards that can go way faster and further, for example, verreal ttrs

Even I still struggle with my battery sometimes, even after almost a year of owning a Revel. I wouldn't get my hopes up for any updates to the design though. They seem pretty adamant about not making any changes any time soon.

So do you prefer your Revel kit or the Onsra? With an unlimited budget, which should I buy?

Spray some wd-40 on the plastic slider rails between the battery and the truck. I recently put mine on the ripple ridge but wedged the back for more stability.

anyone know where i can buy this kit? seems like they'e been sold out on their website.

You should review the hamboards classic

Would you do a review of the Mindless Surfskate?

Have you got Loaded's electric skate kit as a planned review? Apparently you can fit it on any board.

I can see in the background he bought the landyachtz ripper and dipper. I hope there is a review comming up for them

What would be your recommendation for a *reliable* electric skateboard that can last for a year or two thats no bigger than an 8.5 inch skateboard and can be used to go about 5 miles every day?

Caguamas

@shredshack nice review! the Revel Kit is awesome for sure, but for an electric surfskate the Loaded Unlimited Solo is the way to go IMO, is the nearest thing you will find to a normal non electric surfskate… but electric, lightwheight and you have the unlimited mode also. You should try that next. Regards!

Will this work for drop through longboards??

Absolutely want one for my cruiser /surfskate but for 700$….. Might be better off with a electric skateboard 😂

i have almost bought this a few times, but stop when i see that remote...

Are daily uploads coming back👀👀

What's the weight of the kit?

I dont think ive ever heard of a Eboard remote not being usb c

🍞

No . it's not you. The battery is a pain to remove but I just like this kit cuz I can change decks for a different feel in my ride.

So gassed to see this video. I almost always have to stick the nose of my board to the ground so I can use gravity to get my board out. I have broken almost every component of my board and the customer service has been great
