Let customers speak for us
I’ve had the Linnpower Overland 2wd since late July this year and have roughly 1100 miles on it already. Prior to this setup, I’ve used a Tynee explorer pro hub, belt and gear drive. While the Tynee Explorer has a total of 7000 watts, the motors would over heat and I found myself tinkering with it on a daily basis. I have pushed the Overland on every hill (offroad) I could find and this thing does not slow down. Ive gone up steep grass inclines that I didn’t think were possible and she just keeps going without even using close to full throttle. I live in Florida and during one ride I got caught in a heavy storm that created a river on the dirt path I was riding on. I did not realize there was a deep section of water and ended up submerging this board completely under water, to the point where even my feet were under water. The overland did not miss a beat and carried me through multiple deep puddles like a submarine while traveling at 15 mph. It was not an issue. The components are solid, its built like a tank. I do not tinker with this setup, its just plain reliable. Its battery life is endless, I don’t look at my battery level. I’ve never been below 80%, even after hitting offroad hills for hours. Going off path is not an issue either. Ive gone through heavy cane grass 2-3ft tall and it just knocks the grass down and keeps going. The only downfall is very loose sand, as one would expect with 2wd, but even here the Overland performs much better than I expected. I can maneuver this board very well and it is lot more capable than it appears. Linn Power as a company has been extremely responsive with all of my questions, more than I would have expected. They are top notch. I’m very critical when making reviews, but I do not have anything negative to say regarding the Overland. I cannot stress how good the quality, engineering and sturdiness is. Yes it’s heavy, but that’s a tradeoff for the insane torque and mileage. I do not notice the weight when riding, and I ride with my trucks as loose as possible. I highly recommend this setup if it fits your use-case. Its been a truly amazing experience!

Gosh, where do I begin?
This board has blown me away. The value is incredible, and the support from Linnpower has been impressive.
With a small amount of fiddling to get the feel right, I've gone from zero experience to competent enough to use the board as a PEV in a very short time. I wasn't a skateboard guy before, but I'm really happy with the utility. I can't speak to tricks or anything like that, but for a pretty powerful, under the arm PEV I'm not sure it can be beat.
The build quality is pretty fantastic, much better than prior PEV experiences. I keep looking for things to upgrade and finding that Linnpower already did it. Also, they contacted me before I accidentally purchased an upgrade my board already had, which is better customer service than anywhere I've gotten my other PEVs from.
I'm a pretty big guy (230lbs) and the board handles me just fine. The MAD 105s it comes with are pretty friendly, and I can definitely see myself continuing to use the board. Super easy to work on, too. Looks nice, feels nice, fun to ride. What's not to love?
Unboxing the Viper revealed an already dialed in setup, and I went through everything expecting to have to adjust belt tension or truck tightness, It was apparent that a fellow rider QC'd my board before letting it leave. Defiantly solidifying my trust in Linnpower and likelihood for repeat business.
After a few weeks of riding, I'm blow away by how fast she is. I've never been one to wear a helmet, and even after a few pretty serious brain injuries from snowboard falls and skate park fails, I never felt the need for a brain bucket. Until now... 30mph is just so much faster than 20mph, and my decision to order a new helmet a week before the board was scheduled for delivery was absolutely warranted. Yay adulting 😇. (Went with a gloss white "Yepa" helmet, loveee it!)
I love the Viper, I'm glad I went with the ER, but i miss having the ability to reverse by just rolling the controller wheel backwards like my boosted board. Also, even though braking is great and feels smooth, it doesn't stop the board from rolling forward during a complete stop, especially if on any sort of downward incline. Annoying sometimes having to put a foot down when in traffic to stop from moving forward. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.
Also, the factory bushings seem hard for my weight (5'7" 145lbs) and maneuvering at low speeds has been challenging. Sent an email to the folks over at Riptide Bushings and secured myself a set of much softer "Krank" bushings, definitely a MUST do upgrade imo
Ah man, I can't say enough about the OX ER. Its got insane torque and acceleration. Stable at high speeds and is super carvy with the correct bushing setup. This thing is an absolute beast. It feels crazy keeping up with traffic on city streets. Also the battery is insane I rode for like 4 hours today and the battery didn't budge. I think the remote will run out before the board does! Beyond that, Linnpower seems like a company who cares about their customers, which is what will personally keep me coming back. 10/10.

This board is awesome. The build quality is amazing and feels buttery smooth. The size and power is perfect, going any bigger is hard to commute with and going smaller makes long rides uncomfortable. Compared to my single hub motor boards this feels like a rocket ship. The remote feels great and is easy to modulate speed. I was looking for a board to simulate that snowboarding feeling and this nails it. So much fun.
This masterpiece created by Linnpower, I removed the paint for aesthetic reasons, but it's a fantastic gear driver.
I've ridden quite a lot of boards in the past to present and almost none of them comes close to this production board. Linnpower has spent a good amount of time in their electric skateboard lab to create such an incredible board that has insane amount of power and top quality parts. I went with OX ER because I wanted an electric skateboard that delivers crazy range as well as stability on top speed as well as power and acceleration. This board packs with whopping 16S FOC Hobbywing 9058 customized ESC that can pull 100A as well as 16S6P Samsung 50S 1728Wh with a high quality BMS that delivers long range that can take me anywhere almost with almost zero sagging. Linnpower's remote has stylish CNC machined aluminum alloy frame and the CNC metal scroll wheel when most companies that includes remote that feels ultra cheap. Linnpower also offers to sell gear drive adapters for so many wheels that most brands don't offer for their gear drive which is a plus. These NEXT racing slick tires are ultra grippy but has wobbly issues which they said it is normal for tires like these and tires has been fine at 22PSI. I did swap it to MadMax 125's with a set of Kegel gear drive adapter (included with 8 spacers) which basically turned this board into modified JDM sports car which should give me that extra range while sacrificing some top speed with this setup.
This board has become my dailies and even though it is ultra heavy which is hard to bring it to work but that arm workout also makes this board incredible. You'll be jacked up in a year with this board, trust me. The stock bushings makes this board turn like absolute tank but set of RipTide bushings should improve the overall manoeuvrability and stability. The gear drive is insanely well made and it is sealed to protect from dust and water. This board isn't fully waterproof however so I'd avoid riding this in the rain even though this board has good amount of water resistant pads around the ESC which is placed on the top.
Top mounted ESC has easy access for power switch as well as charging port with a sweet red anodized CNC casing for better heat dissipation. The charger that comes with this board has built in fan which cools down when it gets warn which I honestly think should come standard for all boards. This board does not have standby mode so you'll have to turn the board on manually which I think is better than having smart battery feature that drains for no reason.
Linnpower OX ER is an electric skateboard that is overall well put together and beautiful split angled trucks with red baseplate and anodized red anti-sink plate actually keeps me stable at high speed with the real forged trucks including 10mm axles that has zero chance of breaking off. The remote is insanely responsive and being able to tune it via Tuya App makes this board definitely customizable if riders doesn't want that crazy power but to enjoy commuting in a chill speed. If you are living in Canada, this board is available in Canadian warehouse right now so you don't have to wait up to 70 days like I did. -cry emoji-
Get this board, explore the world and enjoy it!
Easy install fits as aspected. (Great product)
I watched hours and hours of you tube videos lol. In January I bought a budget board for 450, it was amazing but I wanted more. Power when I wanted it and speed on demand. I searched everything I could, watched reviews, and read every reddit thread I could find. I almost bought a meepo..... then I found the ox and the one. I was in a predicament. I like to go fast, I like the sleekness of both. But it came down to range, clearance, and length, im 6'3". So I went with the ox er. Going from a budget board with a lanky scroll wheel to this naturally the first thing I did was ease into it in 1 mode to get a feel for it. I liked it so I bumped up n up to 3, cruising at 20 effortlessly with no vibration was amazing. The second thing I did was take for granted the torque and acceleration. My board to this day is set at 50% acceleration. But when I hit that throttle, in 3 mind you, already doing 25mph, the board was gone n I was on my butt. Lesson learned.
The acceleration is there all the way up, it'll jump at 35 right to that 40 mark. I ride full gear very aggressively and it has never felt slow. Battery sag is not a thing. At less than 10 percent you lose 2 or 3 mph on the top end but it gets there just as fast. I've never used my full range in one ride, but I hope to some day, I get around 40 on a charge I think.and fast, 40 miles doing 15 mph is one thing but full tilt 40 in an hour on this board is possible. And the way it looks, sounds and feels is sublime. I've installed the 13 t gear, still feel no need to turn the acceleration up. If I had to change something, cause I did it was bushings, went with riptide 90 a pranks. I ride in a small town, lots of grid streets and needed a little more carve. It did the trick. It's a beautiful board, i ride it to work and the first thing people say is im crazy, the second is that it looks like something iron man would ride. It's so beautiful my boss asked me to ride it in a parade behind his float. When I installed the 13 t gear I noticed a stripped hole in the motor mounting bracket and support helped me fix it temporarily and dealt with a replacement. When my charger took a dive they helped with that too. The customer service is crazy good, same day, shipping parts right away. I want to thank them. Im looking forward to a group ride cause this boards the show piece, hands down a whole different vibe than ur typical esk8, an eye catching speed demon.
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.
Something to hold onto when riding seated
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
I have 2 skateboards already, a Propel X4S and an Ecomobl24 Pro, both about 2 years old and amazing. I mostly ride on trails but it can be hard to transport them and I even have to drop the back seats to fit them in my car. I love both those boards but they're too big for urban riding so I looked for a smaller, lighter street board and came across the Linnpower. I got the Pro in gear drive knowing I can occasionally ride light gravel and broken pavement and man, this board soaks it up. It's light, fairly compact, has an adjustable wheel base and is crazy quiet. Everything is amazing CNC aluminum and it's almost too pretty to use. Honestly it's such a different and cool experience I might put more miles on my Zephyr than the Propel or the Ecomobl. Shipping was super quick too and I have a tail light on the way for safe riding, until then I'll stick to sidewalks and enjoy the ride.
First off, this board is feels like a dragster! The somewhere between 3500 and 4500 watt power delivery is monstrous. Im So glad I was able to put on bindings because not sure how I would've been able to turn. I got some 9in tire rings and put on 10in tires because the clearance from the geardrive to the ground is about an inch or two. The things that worry me most are; one, FedEx decided to delay the shipping for three days which kind of sucks when you've got a board this cool stuck in a truck three miles away; two, when installing the bigger wheels the tire was rubbing against the geardrive. Now this wouldn't have been such a problem if either spacers could be installed or the truck axles were longer, neither of which i found particular simple to do. Three, geardrive. Now there's a couple things I've found quite interesting to mention. One is that the geardrive gasket tore a while ago and the replacement was really confusing because there seemed to be an infinite number of things to replace on the website. Four, remote. Now this may or may not be a defective remote but for some reason the odometer is very wrong. It said I've gone 251.4 miles, but a month ago it said somthing around ~500. The holder for the bearings broke when I saw inside it and now the thumb wheel feels like it has sand in it. I have fallen on the board, but the remote suffered minor scratches, not major damage. Five, the patented binding holes. This shouldn't happen, I dont think, but while I was riding on a trail the screw and the patented part broke free and is now lost. This may be because either the screw was too tight or lose. The screws that came with the trampa bindings did not fit the patented binding holes but I had some that do fit. This binding situation i just wanted to mention since its probably on my part. Now, the good. One, range. I was able to get 31.5 miles of range on hilly and rough terrain as a 130lbs rider. This was amazing since I could possibly get 40-45 miles of range, which is great. Two, parts. All the materials used on this machine are either aluminum, steel, or wood. No cast trucks or crap bolts that strip. I've had this board for four months now and is still snappy as hell and doesn't sag to much when on low battery. I can't wait until the 5.1 geardrive launches. To sum it up, great board great company and great service.
