VOLADOR Freeride Longboard Cruiser | Maple Wood Deck| Drop Through Longboard Complete

I ordered the board after seeing a few videos on YouTube featuring electric skateboards for fun and transportation. I was extremely interested, but hadnt skated since I was a teenager, I had no idea if I could even do it, or if I would even like it once I did. (This was when the boards were closer to $60 than $120). I loved the thing. Its been great fun, a fantastic way to get around. I wouldnt recommend the board to experienced skaters, but to find out if you can do it, or like it, you can find out without breaking the bank. And since all the components are typical, i can replace them one-at-a-time as I wear them out or outgrow their quality. I added massive wheels (95-110mm) for extra stability, and had to cut notches in the deck to accommodate them, but its been pretty great. I mistook the trucks for plastic at first but when I scratched one, I did notice that they are a powder coated metal. Picture evidence attached. I wouldnt buy another one, Ive grown past it, BUT for a first board, not sure I would stick with the activity, it was perfect, and Id recommend it for that purpose all day long

I love this board! As a very clumsy person who has has no poor experience with longboarding, I thought I wouldn’t do well. But this board is super reliable! It’s been only a few days but I’ve been zipping down the neighborhood and down hills around town. It’s very sturdy too ( my dad, around 250lbs, jokingly tried to hop on it, and the board didn’t even cave) . I seriously recommend this to anyone, especially beginners!

Ive been riding this longboard nearly every day for a couple months. Im in my early 30s and this is the first longboard Ive had, and it was a good choice. The price is great, the board looks and feel good too. I absolutely love the fish design in the grip tape. I can carve on the streets and Ive been using this to commute a mile or so into downtown Boise. I generally take the sidewalks, but I also will ride on the streets when its smooth. I have to say long boarding is quite fun (and a good workout!). Ive been using this board as training until I get an electric Boosted Board, but its so much fun Ill probably keep it even when I dont have to push anymore. The only bad thing Ive noticed about the board is I think maybe the bearings are a little slow? I had some fellow long boarders pass me the other day. Makes me wonder if I should upgrade to some ceramic bearings. Other then that I really enjoy it.

I wouldnt call myself an expert longboard by any means but I know my way around a board. Getting back into the longboard scene was kind of a wrestle for me. After all its been 15 years and Im in my 30s now. Nevertheless I did a few days of research for myself and my girlfriend. After what felt like enough consideration she got a retrospec drop deck, and I got this Volador. I wanted the maneuverability of a from through and it certainly delivered in that aspect. just out of the box I noticed how much give the board had and it made me a little nervous, but I chalked it up two or more flexible durability and assumed I was ready to go. I rode the board moderately heavily around for around three days. after day one I could hear a distinct rattle in one of my rear bearings which was kind of disappointing but I guess you shouldnt have very high expectations for stock bearings. After day 3 Im riding home and I take a look down the board. It was completely warped. (Photos) Now maybe I expected too much of this board for weight limits. Im 62 and hover around 225-230lbs. all the reviews that I read for the board however made me feel like I was good to go, and to be honest, Ive ridden a lot of different boards and Ive never seen one warp like this. So I guess if youre a light to medium weight rider this is a pretty good board. Seems to have good speed and maneuverability about it and obviously wont break the bank, but if your concern is the durability of it under weight, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Very nice board for the money. Kids have been cruising the park walking path. If you are under 180 I think it’ll last quite a while. If your heavy the deck will probably eventually fail. Bearings are probably the weakest spot. They work ok but don’t roll as far as some of our other boards. Easily replaced later if you feel it’s necessary. Most probably won’t notice or care. I highly recommend great board for the price!

Great looking board. Stiff deck with some camber and a decent amount of concave. Very good for beginners and possibly intermediates. The wheel bearings are not very good (others have also mentioned this or implied it... its true) -- with really poor glide even though Ive setup the wheel nuts with minimal slop and tension. Mine came with black standard bushings (different from the photos in color and shape) and did not ride as I liked or expected, but I replaced mine. The customer service from HONGHENRY DISTRIBUTION is absolutely 5 stars!! I had an issue with the board and they considered my concerns and took care of it ASAP. Really impressive customer service... I would buy from them again. EDIT: Regarding the wheel bearings. Only 1 of the 8 bearing had decent spin. 7 of the others spin for less than 2-3 seconds. This is with the bearings removed from the wheels. Nevertheless, this is a quality beginner to intermediate board for an outstanding price. Even with buying/upgrading the bearings and bushings it is still a great value.

lo ve it easy to use

Its a good board for the price range. it feels light and resposive when taking corners, NO WHEEL BITE! Its incredibly stable at high speeds 30-35+mph and grips well, there is a nice curve on the edges to keep your feet where they belong, also a little kick-up on the front and rear to make picking it up easy, may need to tighten or loosen up some things when you get it, wheels, bushings, etc.(I gave the bushings about two turns tighter and I dont get wheel bite, Im 59 150lbs to put into perspective) just needs a good set of bearings and its a competitive setup.

when it first arrived and i opened it for the first time i thought oh no this may have been too big and maybe it wouldve been better if i have gotten the penny nickel 27 inch board or a regular skateboard 31 inch and that i should just return it. so i tried to just hop on it inside my house and gave it a shot, boy was i wrong. this board was freaking awesome!!! i dont know if it was because this is my first time riding a skateboard in general and the adrenaline just kicked in but what i can definitely say about this board it is definitely smooth and comfortable. there was and is no way i can return it as i grown to love it within the past 2 hours (haha) this is definitely a great board ^_______^ i bought this board along with a 21 inch board for my friend as me and her plan on skating for the first time this winter break :)

This Longboard is okay at best. The first problem with this board is the bearings. If you intend on keeping this board, the bearings will need to be replaced. The ones that came on my board were slow and already dirty, they were also loud and grinding. My board also had a washer missing on one wheel. Also, for a board that comes with bearing spacers, I shouldnt have to loosen the nut on the wheels for them to turn freely. I replaced the bearings with Bones Reds, which was a much better replacement. The second problem with this board is the truck bushings. The bushings are super soft and squeak a lot. Also, the pivot/cup bushing seems too small or the pivot hole in the truck base plate is too big... The pivot is very loose and doesnt sit very nicely inside the cap. Rest of the truck seems fine though. I will be replacing the bushings that came with the board. The board does flex, but it does not seem like comfortable flex like you would get on a nice expensive deck meant to flex. Well see how the deck performs. Luckily this board is for my girl-friend and she is rather light. At the end of the day, this is a pretty cheap complete board at 60 bucks. For a bit of extra money, you can turn it into a decent board. The parts that seem decent on this board are the wheels, the grip tape, the hardware, and the decal on the bottom of the board. This is my experience with the board. I will mention that I read through pages of reviews on this board before I bought it, unfortunately I got the sense that other peoples reviews may not be the most honest and then I started seeing that people were getting these discounted in return for honest reviews. I almost always stay away from products that have reviews like that, and for good reason. Companies should not need to buy reviews, the product should speak for itself. So, buyer beware. If you are looking for a good board that you can get shipped and immediately ride without issue or replacing anything, get a Sector 9. Those have always been a quality board in my experience. You pay a little more, but I can guarantee you that you will be more satisfied. Riding this board vs a Sector 9 out of the box is a night and day difference (the Sector 9 will actually roll).
