Backfire G3 Review & Specs

The feeling of riding the Backfire G3 board is fantastic, very good control! I had to tighten the Barings on the trucks in order to not wobbling on high speed, but after that its stable. I hope future versions can be made with more compact battery.

Deck

The bamboo deck on the g3 is much more flexible and better at absorbing bumps on the road the g3 plus comes with 85 millimeter wheels installed and it also-comes with a full set of 96 millimeter wheels.The new backfire g3 just like a lot of the backfires that I’ve reviewed in the past this one is built on their pretty unique duck shape however does feel a  little bit different to me. it has a little bit more flex and spring.

Top Speed 

My pinnacle velocity take a look at again reveals the maximum speed a hair slower than the advertised wide variety. Similar to the G3 Plus, the pinnacle pace of the G3 while reviewing turned into 27mph(44kmh) analyzing from the far flung. As you could see, Strava changed into a touch greater lenient and confirmed 28mph(forty five.4kmh) as the pinnacle speed, so it is near. Again, at the same time as the G3 has a pair of 450W automobiles smaller than G3 Plus 600W, they’ve the equal top speed and the difference in getting there’s, too, nearly unnoticeable.

Battery

While it become trendy i can get 11miles variety with some hills on rapid mode the entire time, significant battery sag on remaining bar. Now i am getting ~five miles at the identical direction and rapid all of the manner, voltage sag comes in at half battery capability now. Max speed down from 28mph to 26mph. Kinda inspired the battery even nevertheless runs tbh.

Motors

Nearly all my issues come from the motor. The motor screw they use is so thin and vulnerable it’d come free in case you experience on slightly rougher terrain, and if you use thread locker the ends of the screw would stay in however the relaxation of the screw will ruin and pop out, leaving that hole unusable for any other screw. I’ve needed to update many screws and both vehicles due to this problem. I’ve additionally needed to replace the motor sleeve as soon as because of wear and tear, however they ultimate longer than the motor itself at the least.

Backfire G3 Overall Rating and Opinion 

For a $500 guide, this board definitely gave me more value and value than it cost. I haven’t had to replace anything other than the engine, but that’s only because the engine is the only moving part and so naturally wears out quickly. I don’t regret buying it at all, it might be one of my best purchases to date.

Amazing. Rides like butter. Super flexy which makes it a really comfortable ride. Decent range and speed, definitely worth the price.
