Maxfind Cyber Max X Review – A Cyber Look

If there’s one thing about Maxfind; it’s that they’re always pretty bold when it comes to how their skateboards look. This is no different for the Maxfind Cyber Max X, which is priced at $849 and is currently positioned as Maxfind’s flagship belt-drive longboard.

It’s a 12s belt-driven setup with larger 107mm wheels, and it retains the RGB lighting flair that Maxfind introduced with the Max 6 series.

Competition in the mid-range segment — which we’ve defined as $500 to $1000 — is pretty stiff, so let’s see if the Cyber Max X has what it takes to be a worthy consideration.

Let’s get into the details.

Maxfind Cyber Max X Specs:

Price	$849
Battery	415Wh 12s2p Samsung 21700 40T
Controller	Hobbywing with 4 Speed Modes + App
Top Speed	31 mph / 50 km/h
Range	37 miles / 60 km
Deck	38″ Composite + Fiberglass, Rubber Grip, Slight Double Drop
Motor	Dual 1800W Belt-drive
Weight	24.2 lbs / 11 kg

Deck – 38″ Composite + Fiberglass, Rubber Grip, Slight Double Drop:

If you’re familiar with Maxfind’s longboards, you’ll immediately recognize the design here. The Cyber Max’s deck measures 38″ long and 11″ wide, with a mild double drop profile that lowers your center of gravity for extra stability. It also features a deep concave, which locks your feet in nicely and adds to overall control and comfort when riding.

Maxfind calls it a Flex Composite Deck, built from PPS composite — a flexible polymer that offers surprising flex, despite its carbon-fiber-like stiffness in appearance. The cyberpunk-inspired graphic completes the futuristic vibe.

To top it off, literally, the top of the deck is lined with rubberized griptape, which provides better grip than we initially expected, and unlike sandpaper grip tape, it won’t accidentally catch or destroy fabrics.

Below the deck, there’s a carbon fiber coating that improves scratch resistance and gives the deck a sleek matte-satin finish. The material is also 100% recyclable, if that’s something you value.

And like the Max 6, this is a unibody deck, meaning the electronics enclosure is integrated into the deck itself. That adds both style and function, helping to keep out water and dust from underneath; contributing to the board’s IPX5 water resistance rating.

Finally, the familiar RGB ambient lighting runs along the sides of the deck. Just like on the Max 6, it’s not super bright, but it adds a stylish glow and improves nighttime visibility.

Battery – 415Wh 12s2p Samsung 21700 40T:

Next, fuelling the Cyber Max X is a 12s2p Samsung 21700 battery, rated at 415Wh.

While Chinese battery cells have become more affordable lately, Maxfind chose to stick with Samsung cells for the Cyber Max — a decision that could pay off in terms of battery longevity and reliability.

In terms of value, 415Wh at $849 is fair. It’s not the biggest battery you can find in this price range, but it’s definitely not the smallest either.

And, the range should satisfy most riders. Maxfind markets the Cyber Max X with a 37 miles (60 km) range on a single charge. You could probably reach that distance if you ride conservatively on 90mm wheels, or coast efficiently on the 107mm Spacewheels.

In our experience, a realistic range estimate is around 28 miles (45 km) when riding fast on the 107mm wheels — which is still plenty for daily use and group rides.

Also, a 3A UL-certified fast charger is included, which will fully charge the board in 3 hours.

ESC and Remote – Hobbywing with 4 Speed Modes + App:

For the ESC, Maxfind went with the tried-and-true Hobbywing ESC, which means you can expect smooth acceleration and predictable braking — exactly what we’ve come to expect from Hobbywing setups.

The remote is likely the standard Hobbywing unit in a custom Maxfind casing. It includes a screen for telemetry, comes with four speed modes, and can be paired with the Tuya mobile app to customize your ride profile and settings.

Motors – Dual 1800W Belt-drive:

As for the motors, the Cyber Max X uses a set of dual 1800W belt-drive motors. Which is a modest number by today’s standards, but as we always say — motor wattage doesn’t always translate to real-world performance. The board has a marketed top speed of 31 mph (50 km/h), and it does get there eventually. In our test rides, acceleration felt strong but not outstandingly so.

The gear ratio here is 15:40, which gives just a 2.7 gear reduction — a setup that’s clearly optimized more for efficiency and top speed rather than explosive torque. With that said, the low-end torque is still decent, but unlike boards that are tuned to rocket off the line, the Cyber Max X isn’t going to throw you off the deck on launch.

It still gets up to around 28 mph fairly quickly, but the last stretch from 28 to 31 mph takes noticeably longer, with the power tapering off near the top end.

If you’re chasing torque, the 107mm Spacewheels are part of what’s holding it back. Based on the math, switching to 90mm wheels would give you around 15% more torque. So if you want a punchier ride or sharper braking, downsizing the wheels is a good option.

Wheels – 107mm Spacewheels (74A):

So, what about the wheels?

The 107mm Spacewheels are something new and proprietary from Maxfind — and we always appreciate brands that develop their own components instead of just plucking parts off the shelf.

These wheels are made from 74A urethane, which puts them on the softer side — and in testing, they did a decent job at absorbing road vibration. They’re definitely more comfortable than standard PU wheels, especially on longer rides or rougher pavement.

Being soft and wide, they also offer great grip, especially when carving or braking hard.

The larger diameter allows you to roll over small debris, short grass, and loose gravel without much trouble. Just don’t expect them to turn your board into an off-road machine — the Cyber Max X doesn’t have the torque or clearance for actual trail riding.

Trucks – Max III 12″ CNC-forged (Generic Maxfind Style):

The Cyber Max X comes with Maxfind’s own MAX III trucks — a 45° forged setup with a 12” hanger and 95A bushings. This configuration leans heavily toward high-speed stability, which fits the overall character of the board.

At this price point, we expect forged trucks to be standard. While not every mid-range board includes them, we believe they all should. Forged trucks are stronger and more durable than cast ones, and that matters when you’re riding close to 30 mph.

Performance-wise, the MAX III trucks are stable and confidence-inspiring, especially at higher speeds. Carving is fine — they’re not the most responsive, but they’re also not stiff or uncooperative. It’s a balanced setup that clearly favors control over agility.

The ride remains stable and predictable even at top speed, which is a trait more conservative or speed-focused riders will likely appreciate.

Specs Summary of the Maxfind Cyber Max:

There are brands that position themselves at the forefront of the price war — focused purely on delivering the biggest value for money; and Maxfind has never really been one of them.

As is often the case, Maxfind aims to differentiate themselves through unique design choices and higher- quality components and the Cyber Max X is no exception.

If you don’t like the look, don’t vibe with the unibody deck, or don’t want the larger 107mm wheels, then honestly — there’s little reason to consider the Cyber Max. This board isn’t trying to be for everyone.

But if the design speaks to you, and you’re into the styling, the build, and the feature set — then sure, let’s talk about how it rides.

Riding Experience of the Maxfind Cyber Max:

From the very first ride, it was clear that the Cyber Max X isn’t designed to be a high-adrenaline board. As we mentioned in the motor section, the board has the muscle and the battery to go fast, but it’s not tuned to be explosive. Going full throttle from a standstill won’t challenge your balance — instead, it gives you a smooth and steady ramp-up in speed, all the way to its top end.

Both acceleration and braking are well feathered and smooth, making this one of the easiest belt-drive boards to ride in this price range.

That ease carries over to the rest of the setup, too. The deck is comfortable, with a U-shaped concave that keeps your feet locked in, and just the right amount of flex to absorb some shocks. It’s not overly bouncy or unstable — just enough give to keep the ride comfortable without compromising stability at high speed.

The 107mm Spacewheels also play a big role in the riding experience. Sure, they take away some torque, but they also absorb a lot of road vibration and remove much of the stress from sketchy road conditions. Rolling over sticks, pebbles, or minor potholes isn’t a problem, which adds a layer of confidence and comfort that smaller wheels can’t offer.

Verdict on the Maxfind Cyber Max:

The Maxfind Cyber Max X is a very good board — one that we feel deserves a recommendation.

That being said, we wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up underappreciated. Most e-skaters in the midrange segment are chasing adrenaline, and this board isn’t trying to be that. Not many riders are out there specifically looking for a comfortable, relaxing cruise board at $849.

But if that’s exactly what you want — a smooth, stable ride with high-quality parts and excellent range — or if you’re a beginner looking for your first belt-drive board that won’t throw you off the moment you hit the throttle, then the Cyber Max X is definitely worth considering.

Maxfind Max 5s Review – RGB everything!

This is the Maxfind Max 5s, Maxfind’s latest refresh of their affordable electric skateboard lineup. It’s priced at $499, which is a bit higher than most affordable e-skateboards that usually hover around the low $400 range. This pricing strategy is in line with Maxfind’s approach of setting a slightly higher price but offering better quality parts in exchange.

Maxfind Max 5s Specs:

Price	$499
Battery	4.4AH 10s2p 18650 cells
Controller	Hobbywing ESC
Top Speed	23.6 Mph (38 Kph)
Range	15.5 miles (25 km)
Deck	X Composite deck
Motor	650W*2 Hub drive

Deck – X Composite deck:

Starting with the deck, the Maxfind Max 5s uses the same X composite deck as the Max 6, which is said to be stronger than your average Maple and Bamboo composites. It’s a deck with only a slight flex and is pretty narrow. But we do quite like it’s pronounced U-shape concave, which makes foot placement nice and snug. The design of the shock-absorbing grip tape also looks pleasant in our eyes.

This is an integrated deck with hub motors, so it should be one of the most waterproof budget electric skateboards out there. Many eskate have some IP rating; we don’t trust those with our board, but with an integrated electronic and runs on hub motors, we trust the Max 5s IPX5 splashproof rating a little bit more.

Battery – 4.4ah, 10s2p 18650 Cells:

Moving onto the battery, the Maxfind Max 5s is powered by a 4.4AH, 10s2p configuration using 18650 cells. The marketed range is up to 15.5 miles (25km), but in our tests, we managed to achieve only 7.8 miles (12.6km).

This is a bit underwhelming, especially coming off from reviewing the Max 6, which has an extraordinary range. We expect affordable eskates to have at least a 10-mile (16km) tested range, and the Max 5s fell short of that benchmark.

Maybe, the RGB lights took a small bite out of the battery, affecting the overall range.

Esc And Remote – Hobbywing Esc And Remote:

Next, the Maxfind Max 5s uses the same tried and true Hobbywing ESC as the Max 6. For the remote, it’s likely the standard Hobbywing remote with a custom casing. It has a screen for telemetry, comes with 4 speed settings, and you can also pair it with their mobile app to customize your ride profile.

Motor – Dual 650w Hub Motors:

Moving onto the motors, the Maxfind Max 5s runs on dual 650W hub motors, which is higher than most affordable eskates that typically have around 550W. The marketed top speed is 23.6 mph (38 km/h), which is pretty standard among affordable electric skateboards, and we had no problem hitting this speed during our tests.

Truck and Wheels – 45° Max III Trucks and 90mm PU Wheels:

Photo of Maxfind Max 5s truck and wheels

Next, as for the trucks and wheels, the Maxfind Max 5s uses the same custom 45° Max III Trucks as the Max 6. These are CNC-forged trucks, which are more durable and safer than cast trucks. For some skaters, having a forged truck is a must for safety, and finding one on a $500 board is a big plus for the Max 5s.

However, there is some bad news, too. From our time with the Max 6, we know these trucks weren’t the most responsive and seemed to have a limited range of turning. More on that later.

For the wheels, you get 90mm Polyurethane wheels, which is nothing extraordinary here.

RGB Lights:

The Max 5s also has RGB atmospheric lighting underneath the deck, along the sides.The RGB lights cycle through 3 modes, none of which stay on a single color. You can turn the lights on and off with the remote. It also has a brake light that will turn red when we brake.

Although the lights are not as bright as the LED lights lining the deck, it is still a wonderful addition for a board under $500.

Specs Summary of Maxfind Max 5s:

As we mentioned, Maxfind always prices its board higher than competitors but gives a little bit more in terms of part quality. Max 5s is exactly that. If we judge the Max 5s solely on the motors and battery, it is merely on par with competitors that are priced around $400 and is about $100 overpriced.

However, it does have an interesting integrated composite deck, a safer forged truck, and the RGB ambient light. Even though we already knew the truck wasn’t the most responsive, it is at least durable and safe. And while the lights aren’t the brightest, they do add some spice to the ride.

So, if you value forged trucks and ambient light more than $100, the Max 5s will be pretty good value on paper.

Riding Experience on the Maxfind Max 5s:

The general theme of the Maxfind Max 5s is that it offers an overall comfortable ride but lacks an outstanding personality.

Firstly, the board is comfortable due to the smooth speed control provided by the Hobbywing ESC. As you should already know, Hobbywing ESC is very smooth and precise with both acceleration and braking, giving the industry the gold standard for predictable and smooth control. Plus, the deck’s U-shape concave makes our feet feel snug and secure, adding to the overall comfort.

The torque is respectable for a hub drive. It’s good enough to make the ride fun but not thrilling, and wouldn’t challenge any seasoned riders. Perhaps this is a boon for beginners; you are not likely to hurt yourself with the Max 5s, while it is still plenty strong to go up any incline.

Another aspect that’s good for beginners is the stability of the trucks. This stability makes riding at top speed easy and reassuring. However, the shortfall here is that the trucks are not very responsive and have a limited turning range. We did loosen up the trucks, but it still felt pretty limited. This means the board isn’t the most fun for carving and may feel a bit stiff when trying to make sharper turns.

And about road vibrations, of course, it’s bad. This is expected since the Max 5s is a hub-driven board with a stiffer deck. While the shock-absorbing grip tape helps to some extent, it’s not a game-changer. Road vibrations are about 20% harsher than what we experienced with the Max 6, so you will feel the rougher surfaces more on this board.

Verdict – Maxfind Mas 5s:

It’s not 2017 anymore, and there are plenty of options when it comes to buying an electric skateboard for less than $500. It might sound like a criticism to say that the Max 5s’s best qualities are just its looks, the lights, and perhaps the durability of the deck and the forged truck; however, I’m sure there are people who value these qualities. And, beneath it all, the Max 5s is still a good overall ride.
If you like the looks and need a forged truck, go for it.

Maxfind Max 6 Review – Best electric skateboard under $600?

This is the Maxfind Max 6 which comes in two options: $569 for the version with PU wheels and $629 for the version with 105mm Galaxy Cloud Wheels. This means that the Max 6 is one of the very few affordable belt-driven electric longboards available out there.

Max 6 is a little bit pricier than Wowgo 3E, which was our top pick for the best electric longboard under $500; but it does undercut other midtier belt-driven electric longboards like the $629 Wowgo Pioneer X4, and the $699 Meepo NLS 3.

Read our review of the Wowgo 3E here.

Being one of the most affordable belt-driven electric longboards is a good pricing strategy, especially considering Max 6 has the specs that punch above its weight, too.

Maxfind Max 6 Specs:

Price	$569
Battery	360Wh 10s 21700 Samsung 10Ah battery
Controller	Hobbywing ESC
Top Speed	26 Mph (42 Kph)
Range	31 miles (50 km)
Deck	X Composite deck
Motor	900W*2 Belt drive
Net Weight	20.9lbs (9.5kg)

Deck – X Composite Deck:

Starting with the deck, the Max 6 uses an X composite deck, which is said to be stronger than your average Maple and Bamboo composites. It has only a slight flex.

The deck is relatively narrow, even by our Asian-feet standards, with part of our feet sticking out most of the time. We do like the pronounced U-shaped concave, and our feet are nice and snug with it. Design-wise, the shock-absorbing grip tape gives a pretty neat cyberpunk aesthetic, a nice change from the many minimalistic prints on the market.

Battery – 360Wh 10s 21700 Samsung 10Ah battery:

Photo of Maxfind Max 6 battery enclosure

Moving onto the battery, the Max 6 is powered by 21700 Samsung 40T cells, which are pretty solid cells. It’s too bad Maxfind decided on a 10s2p configuration instead of 12s2p, like the one found on both Wowgo Pioneer X4 and Meepo NLS 3. However, the range on the Max 6 turns out to be better. It is marketed to have a range of up to 31 miles (50km), and in our tests, we managed to make it to 25.5 miles (41 km). That’s 50% more than what we got from the Pioneer X4 and NLS 3.

A concern could be that using 10s instead of a 12s battery configuration gives the board less power, but we will talk about that a little bit later.

ESC and Remote -Hobbywing ESC:

Next, Maxfind went with the tried and true Hobbywing ESC. For the remote, it’s likely the standard Hobbywing remote with custom casing. It has a screen for telemetry, comes with 4 speed settings, and you can also pair it with their mobile app to customize your ride profile.

Motor – Dual 900w Belt Drive Motors:

Moving onto the motors, the Max 6 runs on some hefty dual 900W belt drive motors, which are pretty powerful for a mid-range board. The marketed top speed is a pretty modest 26 mph (42 kph), so it’s not a surprise that we managed to hit that speed in our test.

It has a 1:2.7 gear ratio, which is on the higher side.

Trucks And Wheels – Custom 45° Max Iii Trucks And 90mm Pu Wheels Or 105mm Galaxy Cloudwheels

Next, as for the trucks and wheels, the Max 6 uses their own custom 45° Max III Trucks.

It’s a CNC-forged truck, which is more durable and safer than cast trucks. For some skaters, having a forged truck is a must for safety, but finding one on a $600 board is rare, so this is a big plus point for the Max 6.

As for the wheels, you have a choice between 90mm Polyurethane wheels or a 105mm Galaxy Cloudwheels upgrade. The board also weighs about 20.9 lbs or 9.5 kg, which is pretty light and easy to carry around.

RGB Lights:

A stand-out feature is definitely their RGB atmospheric lighting, which is a collaboration with the Soundynamic brand and features sleek RGB lights on the sides of the deck.

The RGB light cycles through 3 modes: the first one is where the color switches, 2nd mode is breathing pattern, and then the last mode is blinking. The color switches by default and cannot stay a single color, to our disappointment. You can turn the lights on and off with the remote. It also has a brake light that will turn red when we brake.

Although the lights are not as bright as the LED lights lining the deck, they still add some nice flavor to the board.

Specs Summary of Maxfind Max 6:

All these years, Maxfind’s strategy has been to “price the board a little bit higher than the competition, and justify the price with higher quality parts and prettier design” The Max 6, however, is different. It arguably gives the best value for $549, especially if you value the ambiance lighting.

To illustrate, let’s compare the Max 6 to the $449 Wowgo 3E. The Maxfind Max 6 is a pretty good deal here as it has a longer range thanks to using 21700 Samsung 40T cells. It also has a stronger motor, CNC trucks, and lights.

On the other hand, when you compare up against the $629 Wowgo Pioneer X4 and $699 Meepo NLS 3, the Max 6 fairs pretty well, too.

The negatives are that it has a smaller battery and weaker power, but the positives are that it has forged instead of cast trucks and, again, has ambient lights. That’s why, if you value forged trucks and ambient lights, and are satisfied with a 10s battery, Maxfind Max 6 will be, on paper, the best board in the $500-$600 price range.

Read our review of the Meepo NLS 3 here.
Read our review of the Wowgo Pioneer X4 here.

Riding Experience of the Maxfind Max 6

The Max 6 has torque, it felt stronger than the Wowgo 3E on the get-go. The higher gear ratio probably plays a part here. Max 6 certainly gets away with using a 10s battery instead of 12s.

However, when compared against higher priced Meepo NLS 3 and the Wowgo Pioneer X4, the Max 6 does lag behind in torque and power. This is probably how the Max 6 has a lot more range than those two, by dialing back on the power and increasing battery efficiency.

The Max 6 gets to top speed pretty easily and is very stable all the way. But we do feel the trucks are a bit too resistant to turns. Let’s just say they weren’t the most responsive trucks we ever tested, but they are sure as hell stable. We tried loosening up the trucks, but even then, it was still one of those trucks that just wanted to go straight. With that said, carving is not the most fun on this board, but changing the bushings may help in these aspects.

Overall, the board feels comfortable. As we said, the concave makes our feet feel pretty welcome, and of course, Hobbywing ESC means completely smooth acceleration and braking.

The board wasn’t the best at reducing road vibration, given that it uses a stiffer deck. However, the Max 6, being a belt-driven board, is obviously better than any hub-driven board. If you really want a smoother ride, you can always just put on the Cloud Wheels.

Verdict on the Maxfind Max 6:

As you can see, Maxfind Max 6 is not perfect, a $569 board is bound to have some flaws. The Max 6 doesn’t have the most thrilling top speed, doesn’t have the most enjoyable trucks, and the built-in ambiance light is not the most eye-catching.

With that said, it is still one of the best options at its price. It has an extraordinarily good range, safer forged trucks, and, while not our favorite light setup, it is at least there. We’ve reviewed many Maxfinds, and so far, the Max 6 is our clear favorite and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for something below $600.

Maxfind Releases the Max 6 – $569 with ambient light!

Maxfind, a veteran electric skateboard brand, just released the Maxfind Max 6 in April 2024.

A belt-driven electric longboard, the Maxfind Max 6 is available at $569 for the version with PU wheels and $629 for the version with 105mm Galaxy Cloudwheels. This pricing strategy places the Max 6 between the more affordable Max 5 Pro, priced at $499, and the premium FF series, starting at $799.

Check out our review of the Maxfind FF Pro

Max 6 is a Good-Looking Board

The deck, made from a composite material (X-composite + Glass Fiber), is similar to that used in diving boards. It is a well-designed deck with electronics integrated within. It has a good amount of concave (U-concave with a 7mm deep footwell) that helps with board control and comfort during longer rides.

The fact that the Max 6 is an integrated deck with electronics embedded within means the board has better waterproofing, securing the Max 6 an IPX5 waterproof rating.

Range is What the Maxfind Max 6 Excels At

“We aim to position the MAX6 as a product with exceptional range capabilities. Our emphasis is not on high discharge rates, so the speed is not exceptionally high. The primary advantages lie in the range and riding experience,” said Maxfind.

Photo showing the battery compartment in the Maxfind Max 6 — 10s2p Samsung 21700 inside.

Maxfind has designed the Max 6 with a focus on extended range capabilities, incorporating a 10s2p battery pack with Samsung 21700 cells. This setup supports up to 31 miles (50 km) on a single charge, catering to e-skaters looking for something better than <$500 entry-level electric skateboards that usually have a 15-mile (25 km) range.

Maxfind FF Pro Review – A Pretty Face

So, we are reviewing another Maxfind, the Maxfind FF Pro.

Maxfind has made a good few boards in their FF series, including the FF Plus, FF Belt, and FF AT. Today, we’re checking out the latest edition of the series, the $799 Maxfind FF Pro. Despite the “pro” naming, the FF Pro is actually the lowest-spec variant of the Maxfind FF series.

Maxfind FF Pro Specs:

Price	$799
Battery	SAMSUNG 12S3P 29E, 8.7Ah, 376Wh, 48V
Controller	HOBBYWING V5.0 FOC
Top Speed	28 Mph (45 Kph)
Range	27 Miles (45 Km)
Deck	X-composite + Glass Fiber
Motor	1000W*2 Hub drive
Net Weight	24 Lbs (11 Kg)

Deck – X-composite + Glass Fiber:

Starting with the deck, the Maxfind FF Pro kept the same X composite and fiberglass deck as the FF Street and the FF Belt, which is now a staple in the FF series design. The deck is wide and features a good concave for secure foot placement, just like its predecessors. It’s also a double drop deck design, which is well known for its stability and decreased riding height.

We like the rubber grip tape, as it doesn’t snag on fabrics or damage them. Another thing that sets the Maxfind FF apart is its top-accessible built-in electronics compartment, which allows easy access for hot-swapping the battery and gives it a sleek, unibody look.

Battery – SAMSUNG 12S3P 29E, 8.7Ah, 376Wh, 48V:

Photo of Maxfind FF Pro battery enclosure

Speaking of hot-swappable batteries, the FF Pro is powered by a hefty 376Wh Samsung Battery with a 12s3p configuration. While we love the convenience of the easy access battery compartment this does cause risk for water seeping in from the top.

The FF Pro is marketed to have a range of up to 27 miles (45 km) and in our tests, we managed to make it to 17 miles (27.5 km) with a 196 lbs (89 kg) rider.

ESC and Remote – Hobbywing 5.0:

Moving onto the ESC, Maxfind made no changes and stuck with the tried and true Hobbywing 5.0 ESC, which has never failed to deliver buttery smooth and intuitive control for both acceleration and braking. It comes with four-speed settings and is paired with a standard remote with an OLED display that allows you to customize your riding profile.

Motor – 1000W*2 Hub Motors:

Next, the FF Pro comes with massive 1000W dual hub motors which are marketed to have a top speed of 28 mph (45 kph) and when we took it to the streets we managed to rack up 23.6 mph (38 kph) on a windy day which is no short of impressive especially for a board that costs under $800.

Trucks and Wheels – Double KingPin Trucks and 3.8” Poly Wheels:

As for the trucks, the FF Pro sticks with the same Double KingPin Trucks as the FF Street.

The FF Pro comes with basic 3.8-inch poly wheels but you can easily switch them out for some Cloud Wheels for a smoother ride.

With a weight of 24 lbs. (11 kg), the board is considerably light for the battery it’s packing. It also has an ergonomic handle that you can use to conveniently pull it about when you’re not riding.

Specs Summary of the Maxfind FF Pro:

To sum up, competition is pretty stiff in the $799 range, and most boards at this price are belt-driven. Boards like the Propel Pivot S have similar specs but fare better and are much stronger with a powerful pair of belt motors. To give Maxfind some credit, if you’re a fan of hub motors, then there aren’t a lot of options at this price point. A couple of the more notable competitors are the Wowgo Pioneer 4 and the Backfire G5, both of which have slightly lower specs and retail for around $550.

Enough with the on-paper comparison, let’s hit the road and talk about how the board rides.

Riding Experience of the Maxfind FF Pro:

The overarching theme of the FF Pro is that it’s a well-rounded ride that has no significant shortcomings but, at the same time, lacks any standout moments.. The speed control is nice and comfortable, as expected from the Hobbywing ESC. Stability is quite solid, but we can’t say the same for its power, which is about average at best. The double kingpin truck’s ability to carve is pretty mediocre as its turning radius isn’t that great, but just okay-ish. We had trouble doing sharp u-turns, and its return-to-center is also quite lacking. This could be improved, perhaps, by replacing the bushings.

We think, in this case, Maxfind could’ve gone with their standard Reverse Kingpin trucks, which were pretty good and would’ve done a far better job here. Ride comfort was alright, thanks to the board’s wide and long deck with its nice concave. The grip tape is definitely a plus, and the deck’s flexibility helps dampen the road vibrations, which is a blessing when you purchase anything hub-driven.

Verdict – Is the Maxfind FF Pro any good?

So what’s the verdict? Well, it’s not our favorite board, as we at ElectricskateboardHQ love specs and performance and care a little bit less about the looks of the board.

With that said, we think the Maxfind FF Pro has a good look, and the hot-swappable battery feature is definitely a plus. While the specs and performance weren’t exactly top of the class, they are decent enough to justify the price. If you are looking for a hub-driven electric longboard that has the look, the FF Pro may suit your taste.

And, if you’re a fan of the looks but aren’t quite satisfied with the features the Maxind FF Pro has to offer, you could always look into the many other variants in the FF series with similar decks and looks but different prices and configurations.
