The Backfire Zealot perfectly bridges the gap between budget and premium electric skateboards, offering premium features at a reasonable price point.
The bamboo and fiberglass composite deck provides the perfect balance of flex and stability. It's responsive enough for carving but stable enough for high-speed cruising. The natural bamboo finish looks fantastic and provides excellent grip.
With 17 miles of range and 28mph top speed, the Zealot hits the sweet spot for most riders. It's fast enough to be exciting but not overwhelming for intermediate users. The 30% hill climbing ability is genuine - we tested it on steep San Francisco hills.
Everything about the Zealot feels well-engineered. The trucks are responsive, the wheels provide good grip, and the overall construction feels solid. The IP55 rating gives confidence for light rain riding.
