Backfire Zealot Electric Skateboard
The Backfire Zealot S3 is the latest evolution in the highly acclaimed Zealot series, designed for riders who want a premium, high-energy experience. This 2024/2025 edition stands out not just for its performance, but for its striking, integrated LED light strip that wraps around the deck, allowing you to customize your "vibe" while increasing visibility for night rides.
This board is powered by dual 875W belt-drive motors (peaking at 1000W each) that deliver significantly more torque than standard hub motors, allowing for rapid acceleration and a top speed of 30 MPH. The 39-inch composite deck uses a "snowboard-style" construction—a mix of maple, fiberglass, and ABS—to provide a flexible, dampening ride that eats up road vibrations. It features the new Major V3 Remote, which includes a high-resolution AMOLED touchscreen for precise control and real-time ride data.
With its 403Wh Samsung 21700 battery, the Zealot S3 offers a substantial range of 25 to 30 miles, making it a serious contender for long-distance commuters. The belt-drive system also allows for wheel customization, including the stock 96mm 78A wheels which provide excellent grip for deep carving.
