Really couldn’t recommend this board more.
I’ve been riding push boards for about 7 years now and finally decided to pull the trigger on an e-board. I had heard a lot of great things about LINNPOWER, and after 2 months of ownership and 400 miles / 650 kilometers on the board, I can say the praise is deserved.
I primarily ride carvy dancing boards, so with the Zephyr Max’s wider profile and DKP trucks, I had a feeling it would be a great fit. The stock bushings feel great at my weight of 220 lbs, but a few lighter friends have mentioned they feel a little stiff, which makes sense for a DKP setup on an e-board.
Thankfully, the trucks are compatible with Riptide bushings, so I bought a few different kits to mix and match. After dialing it in, this has genuinely been the best riding experience I’ve had in 7 years of skating.
As a heavier rider, I was also really impressed by the acceleration. S+ mode is no joke and has nearly thrown me off multiple times, lol. The power is absolutely there.
Another thing I really appreciate is that the ESC settings are very customizable through the remote, letting you fine-tune things like acceleration, braking, and speed limits to match your riding style.
On top of the board itself being great, LINNPOWER’s customer service has been phenomenal. I’ve consistently pestered them with all kinds of questions over the last few months, and they’ve always gotten back to me in a timely manner, especially considering the time zone difference. They’ve been helpful every time.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with the Zephyr Max 50S and would absolutely recommend it to both seasoned riders and anyone coming from push boards who wants a powerful, customizable e-board.
