There is no noticeable latency between your movements on the thumbwheel and when the board reacts so you always know how the board is going to respond. The first is the control you have when you’re riding the Flex. The best way to think about this ESC is that it is all about control. This ESC is one of the best in the eskate game. Just unscrew them and lift off the lid to get into the battery. It’s held in by three bolts either side of the enclosure. Especially with this new enclosure system. The plastic does scratch relatively easy, but I think it just gives your board a bit of character.Īnother benefit of having the enclosures is that you can easily access the battery. The enclosures are made of hard plastic and still look very premium. Now with the separated enclosures, the battery can be layered, leaving space in the middle of the deck to accommodate for the bounce. In order to place the battery inside the deck, Exway had to use a battery pack that was long and thin, meaning the deck couldn’t flex at all. They just wanted to offer their customers a flexible deck options. I think the reason Exway decided to do this is simple.

Unlike Exway’s previous X1 series where all of the electronics were amazingly hidden inside the deck, the Flex has two separate enclosure, one for the ESC and the other for the battery. Thanks to the wheel flares, you avoid this issue completely. This can cause the eboard to stop suddenly, potentially throwing you off. Lastly, when you turn too hard on an electric skateboard that doesn’t have these flares, you run the risk of getting wheel bite which is where the wheels end up hitting the bottom of the deck or your feet. The Exway Flex has one of the best turning circles on any electric skateboard that I’ve ever ridden, including some shortboards. Because of the angle that the flares sit at, they give you more leverage when leaning into a turn, so you don’t have to work as hard to get a sharper turn. Secondly, they assist in turning the board. This means you can spend more time looking at where your riding and not at your feet. You can feel these lips on the underside of your feet so prominently that you’ll always know exactly where your feet are on the deck. The first is that they help to lock your feet into the board. What’s more, the edges of the deck that sit over the wheels are flared up even further.

Along with its bounce, the deck has a deep concave shape. A big part of what makes the Exway Flex a dream to ride is the shape of the deck.
