Ownboard Bamboo ZEUS Pro Electric Skateboard

Super happy witch Board that was delivered - awesome ride :)

Just had my first ride with my new Bamboo pro. It is such a stable and comfortable board to ride. The deck is rather flat, which is perfect for me since I ride long distances and it will not strain my legs so much. Really a perfect board well worth the money, and the range is amazing.

I’ve been saving my pennies for for a while and finally pulled trigger. I cannot believe how much fun it is!! It is flexy, smooth, and a blast to ride. I had my reservations about buying something so expensive sight unseen, direct from China. But in the end, it is well worth it. This is a solid piece of equipment that I fully trust to go far distances away from home/car.
I got the 6” wheels and the 21ah battery.
I’m an old guy, 39, and love to snowboard. This is the closest I can get to snowboarding when I’m not on the hill. You can do deep deep carves on any hard surface and even get away with it on grass if it hasn’t rained recently. I bumped up to level two almost instantly, and spend most of my time cruising on level three. Turbo mode gets a little spooky you aren’t in the right mood for it. In level 3 it easily bumps to 31 MPH but you better be ready for it when starting out.
Range is decent, I weigh 197 and can go for about 20-24 miles on a charge riding in the 25-30mph range on flat paved roads.
My only complaint is that I recently had a flat tire, and when I swapped it out, it absolutely looked like a manufacturing defect. These things have split rims and it looks like the innertube got stuck between the 2 halves when assembled. I will be reaching out to ownboard to see if it would be covered under warranty. I don’t see why not. With that being said, check your tires every time before you go, as they are very stiff and you might not notice you have a flat. I had no idea why I was losing so much range on a ride until saw that my rear tire was flat.

I was looking for a comfortable, easy riding, long range board, both stable and carvi, over the complete speed range, for a reasonable price. Ownboard delivered me a perfect match, even the bushings were already perfectly adjusted to my liking (for my 72kg)! Big wow!

The slightly wider TKP trucks, 96a riptide bushing setup (front: cone/barrel, back: barrel/barrel), longer wheelbase, extended board width, ergonomic foot placement and the EVA foam griptape, deliver just an unbelievable feeling of safety, respectively stability-comfort, even in T mode, at full throttle. No speed wobble, just pure fun (straight line or carve)! Acceleration and braking curves are powerful, but not overwhelming. Really close to my personal sweet spot, for long rides.

Worth mentioning, remote bumper case, handle, 8A fast charger, bash guard, standard and additional foam grip tape, spare belts and tubes, a.s.o. everything already included! You can easily pay 300$ for this accessory package, compared with other brands.

Personal preferences: I’d love to have quieter Motors, with a lower KV value (I prefer low end torque, speed is subordinated, as I live in an hilly area). A gearing/motor setup with less drag, respectively free-spinn properties (saves battery, and gives more downhill skateboard feeling, which I love). I’d prefer a smaller 5A standard charger, to widen the lifespan of the batteries.

My setup (changes to standard): 165mm Meepo cyclon wheels, with both inner and outer bearings on the same block. This adds even more stability, less noisy, and with better free spin characteristics.

Opportunities: Charger is quite loud and bulky, nothing to take along (GaN Charger would be nice) // Battery sag at around 20% capacity is too noticeable. I have other boards with the same Molicel cells, which do not have this amount of a power dip. So I guess the Hobbywing ESC is cutting the output amps, to protect the batteries, which could be fixed with a FW upgrade.

Conclusion: A board that conveys safety and comfort, with a pleasant sportiness and range. The wide deck (respectively complete setup, with no throttle jerkiness) makes the board extremely forgiving regarding food placement (or remote handling), so I can recommend this board unrestricted, even for beginners (or skateboard dancers). All this at a very reasonable price and included impressive accessory package. The “Zeus Bamboo Pro” can handle terrain (underbody not protected enough and simply the board is too good for it), but it belongs on the road, which can also be bumpy/uneven. If you are looking for the ultimate acceleration, or want to ride as quiet as a whisper, then you will not be happy with this board (without an ESC upgrade). The board is quite heavy and even with the handle, pulling it is quite difficult (due to the wider trucks). So definitely not suitable for commuters (this board wants to be ridden and not carried ;-). For me the “Zeus Bamboo Pro” is close to perfect, I really love it!

Cheers & keep riding!

So happy to have it!!!

Board delivered from the US warehouse and only took four days to arrive

I am new to electric skateboards, watched/read all the reviews, and decided to go with the Bamboo Zeus Pro. I am very happy with my purchase. I have owned it for just over a month, ridden about 130 miles. I went with the 6-inch Hota tires. You can't beat the look of the oil slick wheels Ownboard includes. They are beautiful. (I had an issue with one of the wheels, but Ownboard's Customer Service resolved the issue, which is expected as this particular board has a 365-day warranty) Even better is having the option to change wheels for different road conditions and experiences. I would recommend getting the 5M40T kegel pulleys with drive belts as accessories to be able to experiment with polyurethane wheels, but use wheels at least 100mm and larger for this board. I also purchased some Evolve hubs on sale and BKB 6-inch all terrain tires to mix it up. This is my new favorite hobby. Looking forward to the summer to do longer rides, which is also why I love the battery capacity and not having to worry about range. I don't think I will ever use the Turbo mode, but nice to have. This board checks all the boxes. I hope Ownboard succeeds and continues to innovate in this emerging market (application of this technology), making great electric skateboards at a competitive price, like the Bamboo Zeus Pro.

I love this board !! It's fast, stabile and battery range is great. Also it looks beautiful. Definitely my best looking skateboard.

another 2 in1 board setting a trend. Now a 2 in 1 with FLEX that has over 1000wh battery capacity. Insane! stable yet carvey. good looking yet elegant. We highly recommend this board

This is a great board, I had the bamboo at pro before and it’s all that I loved about that board with more power range speed ect. I ride it down to 1 bar of battery and there still is voltage sag but it can go 50kph on low battery.

It’s comfortable but I would recommend putting on the added foam griptape if you plan to take longer rides as it can get quite “warm” on your feet.

I would also check the bolts and screws before you ride and make sure there tightened down as when i received mine a good bit were loose, way to loose then they should’ve been

I also wish there was more features like maybe a charge port for a phone or or customizable settings on the remote or even an app

It’s an all around great board and for the price there isn’t anything rlly better
