Ownboard Bamboo ZEUS Pro Electric 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

This board delivers everything I hoped for. The range is fantastic and the board handles great at speed. Just what I wanted. Took awhile for shipping by sea but the wait was worth it.

bamboo zeus pro = bzp

its a beast...at its longest, end to end, the bzp is a good 7in/18cm longer than my backfire g3+ (axle to axle is +6in/15cm, notable because the deck is barely an in/2.5cm longer) and the deck is a solid in/2.5cm wider than the widest parts of the g3+...it looks like a boat...at 40lbs/18kg it weighs well over twice as much as the g3+ at 18lbs/8kg. the deck is a quarter in/6.5mm thicker.

its sexy...the anodized/"oil slick" look is gorgeous. you apparently either love it or hate it. i think it was maybe about two years ago i spent a small fortune on two anodized/"oil slick" anti-sink plates from radium performance for my g3+ and have never looked back.

unboxing was as expected from what i have read previously; one box only with minimal padding and no paperwork. inside was the usual accoutrement of extra screws, bolts, feeble hex keys, bearings, spacers, etc and at least one rubber thingy that i am fairly certain belongs nowhere on this board.

i thankfully took the advice of others to secure all of the hardware as i found several loose fittings and while doing so i loosened the belts as they were tighter than i have been advised by youtube to have them.

standing on the board, then hopping on over to the g3+, and back and forth and back and forth it seems to me that the g3+ (again, carbon fiber) has more "flex" than the (canadian maple, et al) bzp.

i found the loss of free roll to be disappointing. i normally start riding by kicking off then accelerating with the remote. i tried to do that with the bzp and the lack of free roll caused me to fall over the board at first. a lack of free roll is a definite draw back to belt boards. if you're not accelerating your slowing down considerably, even downhill.

braking is exceptional. first brake test i fell over the board again and had to run it out a bit i was not expecting to stop so quickly. it was set at i think like 73%. i've since adjusted it down to 35% and will probably bump it up to 45% next ride.

my first ride i started on speed mode 2 and quickly found myself going faster on this board then i ever dared on the g3+. i had never gone above 19mph/30kmh, i just couldn't do it and didn't want to do it. i'd say my normal cruising speed averaged about 16mph/26kmh. i looked at the remote briefly while riding the bzp and was floored to see 21mph/34kmh. i never would have guessed. this board is sooooooo stable, and the pneumatic wheels are just lovely. rocks on the road? lol...larger cracks? lol...that massive crack on the sidewalk that put me on my face a few months ago? gtfo...i love these wheels. i think the 5 in/150mm is the perfect size for pneumatic and will be getting a set of 100-110mm street wheels.

i rode it onto some grass and it didn't feel like it had enough torque to do so while on a sidewalk before entering another grassy area i bumped it up to speed mode 3 and accelerated...and bit it hard. the board just flew out from under me. my g3+ had what i though was a lot of torque, but the bzp is something else altogether. i found myself wishing that it had a mode between 2 and 3 but i've gotten used to riding it in 3 after a few runs. rode it in 2 for most of my ride today as i was doing more carving than on previous rides.

this thing carves really well! my BIL has a hadean with dkp trucks and he really had me worried that i wouldn't like the tkp on the bzp. i was also concerned i would lose some agility with such a larger setup but those fears were for naught. i ended up tightening the trucks up a bit and found the sweet spot for me was about one whole turn greater on both front and rear than how they arrived. its seriously perfection. the pivot cups are great. silky smooth turning.

i haven't done a full range test but from what i am seeing i should expect roughly 6 miles/10km per remote bar, depending on terrain and there are 5 bars so looking at about 30 miles/48km per charge with the 150mm. this is more than i will ever need and is a much appreciated upgrade from my backfire g3+ which would only give me at most 12 miles/19km.

overall very happy with the board and i have no regrets getting it. its the perfect board for my riding style. i was originally going to sell my g3+ but when i saw the size of the bzp, and felt its heft, i thought i might hold on to it for short jaunts around the city as i assumed the bzp would just be too big and heavy to have in stores, etc. i've gotten used to it though and am again second guessing what i'm going to do with the g3+. i was going to install the handle on the bzp but have become comfortable just using using the bash guard as a handle and rolling it around on the front wheels.

I've been riding the Zeus Carbon (OG and Pro) for two years. I read the reviews on the Zeus Bamboo Pro, so I bought one. After riding it for a couple of months, it's my favorite. It's heavier and bigger than the Zeus Carbon, so at first, it seemed a little less agile. But with the increased torque and adjustable brake, it has higher performance. I made the following adjustments: swapped Hotas for BKB 150s; replaced stock bushings with softer ones; added Vicious grip tape; loosed the trucks a lot. Can't wait for my next ride!

This skateboard is very smooth. I had it shipped to NC from Ownboard and it took 40 days. It has a nice look about it. I put a headlight and taillight on it. It was ordered with the largest wheels they offer (175mm I think), but after receiving it I installed the 200mm pneumatic knobby tires that I pre-ordered elsewhere. While I was disassembling the rims to install the new wheels 4 of the bolts that hold them together snapped, so I replaced them. Overall the Bamboo Zeus Pro is my favorite of the 5 different boards I own. I also own a Bamboo Pro which now is my 2nd favorite.

Had an excellent time ordering and receiving my new board. The onboard team was very cooperative and quickly to respond to my questions. The board arrived packaged well and it is a game changer from the Exway Flex I had for 3 years.

It’s so incredibly stable and very quick 0-30! Definitely the best bang for your buck

Bamboo Zeus Pro is Ownboard's next line up for Zeus Pro series but this time with beautiful bamboo deck. This board uses same ESC from Zeus Pro with much improved performance and its braking power which was based off of many feedback from riders to tune it to further improve the board and it definitely worked. It has smart turn on, hobbywing remote that's been seen on many brands but with more options and features such as setting up the braking power, switching from 2WD to 4WD, gear ratio, you name it.

I personally like street config better than AT config because of the low profile look (like tuner cars) and I even rode much farther with this setup than AT setup. I get more range this way and I much prefer that as I want to ride longer.

The battery in this board is packed with massive Molicel M50A 1170Wh with 25Ah which is what I went with and it gives the oomph and massive range and sagging wasn't that noticeable until around 10% or so. I got about 22 miles with 155mm (it's actually 150mm which they need to update) Hota wheels and I still haven't done full range test with 100mm street wheels yet because range is just so massive compared to AT config. 30+ miles is achievable with AT config and even more with 100mm street wheels.

Board is quick and it is very fast.

Bamboo deck doesn't have much flex to it with my weight but it's quite fun to jump in the middle without bottoming it out while waiting for the cars to go by.

Board comes with extra padded grip-tape, goodies (extra hardware, spacers, tools, remote charging cable, etc), extra belts, gigantic charger with built in fans, bashguard kit, skateboard handle, 40T Pulleys (if you request a set), extra two tubes for AT tires, etc.

Quality: ★★★★★
Performance: ★★★★★
Range: ★★★★☆
Flex on the deck: Feels stiff the way I like it.

Feedback for the board:
Overall the board is great but it needs further improvement with charging port cover which just pops open and it's not very secure when riding. Screw in charging port cover with waterproofing ring would be excellent and it'll be more secure than just silicone rubber cap.

Braking is plenty powerful but I just wish that the rear wheels would completely lockup when engaging brakes fully because board still rolls either forward or backwards (or even when wind is blowing to push me when on my board). This can be helpful especially at the hill where I have to stop and wait for the cars to go by at the stop sign without the board just rolling off into the interception which can be dangerous.

Ownboard's very own unique remote with bigger screen in the centre that displays the speed, braking power, odometer, battery for both remote and board in %, tuner for acceleration, speed, braking, etc.

Packaging needs more padding especially around the wheels so that it's well protected and they should use double box for double the protection.

If these improvements are made for this board, this could be one of the best board that came out this year.

I'm satisfied with this board and I get a lot of compliments from people whenever I take this board out. Currently using different grip-tape that I designed which has 3mm padding on it for extra comfort.

This board is great. Although it's my first esk8, I have been riding since skateboards had clay wheels. I'm 60 years old so not as lively as I used to be and this board has way more performance than I think I'll ever be comfortable using....I love it. I've only used speed mode 2 and it's incredible!

Great build quality and tech specs. Also very responsive support! My board arrived with a bent rear axel, due to shipping, and they quickly sent out a new rear hanger in about a week. Very fast!

You can't go wrong with this board, it handles tightly with a superb and supple ride.
