I was wondering what you think are the best electric skateboard wheels? I have compiles a list below:
Orangatang Canguama
These wheels are 85mm KEGAL 78a wheels. They are $88 on [amazon](https://amzn.to/2YoKinD for some reason… and 68 on orangatang
Evolve GTR Street
These wheels are 97mm ABEC 77a wheels. They are are $109 on evolve
Hyperdrive
These wheels are 90mm 77a KEGAL wheels. They are $85 on eBoardStuff (I have a 10% off code I’m pretty sure still works if anyone is interested!)
SharkWheel
These wheels are 95mm 78a KEGAL wheels. They are $90 on sharkwheel. I don’t really know how to feel about these…
Boa Wheels
These wheels are 80mm, 90mm, and 100mm KEGAL 83a wheels all with different widths. The price is $80-120 on boa
These are my findings on the best wheels out on the market right now. I have 83mm flywheels coming in a kit I ordered.
Haven’t tried them with Eskate, but I have to say that they’re designed as rain wheels, their tread is definitely not optimized for traction, that is to say acceleration and deceleration.
They’re definitely still just for pavement.
Aside from that though, eskate might be pretty optimal use for them. Normally I like to remind people that the groove is only a few mm deep and it doesn’t take a whole lot of wear to turn them into exceptionally expensive normal wheels. But eskate has much much lower wheel wear than disciplines like freeride or DH.
I’d be really interested to see if they’d put grooves on a TB110 or any of the other super big wheels out there.
I feel like they serve differen’t purposes. I wish the cloudwheel issues were fixed so I could stick them on my Revel kit, but on my main board I love my 110’s, I wouldn’t want to sacrifice smooth asphalt performance on that board for the bumpy cloud wheels
