The Backfire G5S gives you all the freedom and range of the G5 but with even more

Here's a breakdown of what makes the Backfire G5S a step up from the G5:

Built-in Deck Lighting:

The G5S boasts eye-catching built-in LED deck lighting. This not only looks cool but also improves visibility in low-light conditions, making your rides safer.

Slightly Increased Battery Capacity:

While both offer impressive range, the G5S has a slightly larger battery with a capacity of 403Wh compared to the G5's 363Wh. This translates to a potential for a few extra miles on a single charge.

Go for the G5 if: You prioritize affordability and are happy adding separate lights for safety.

Choose the G5S if: You value built-in deck lighting for improved visibility and a potentially slightly smoother ride due to the possible material differences (unverified). You're also willing to pay a slight premium for the increased battery capacity.

SHINE BRIGHTER, RIDE SAFER

About the Backfire G5's Integrated Light Strip

Forget add-on lights! The Backfire G5 features a revolutionary integrated light strip embedded within the deck's ABS enclosure. This innovative design offers several advantages:

Unmatched Durability:

The LEDs are protected by the ABS shell, making them highly resistant to damage from everyday riding. No more worries about broken lights interrupting your rides.

Effortless Visibility:

Be seen, be safe! The light strip ensures maximum visibility in low-light conditions, keeping you noticeable to pedestrians and motorists.
This technology is the result of over a year of research and development by Backfire, ensuring you get a reliable and safe lighting solution.

HIGHER VOLTAGE, MORE EFFICIENCY

Even Longer Range? How?

The Backfire G5 boasts a cutting-edge 14S ultra-high voltage system with a full charge voltage of 58.8V. But what does that mean for you?

Extended Range:

High voltage translates to increased efficiency, which means you get more miles out of every charge. Conquer longer distances and explore further on a single ride.

In simpler terms, the G5's high voltage system translates to a more powerful and efficient ride, letting you explore further and experience the thrill of electric skateboarding for longer.

THE SPECS

Rock-Solid Deck with Illumination:

The deck is a composite masterpiece, blending maple, bamboo, and fiberglass for superior strength and a surprising lightweight feel. An integrated red light adds a touch of style and improves low-light visibility.

Ultra-Responsive Trucks:

8-inch, gravity-cast aluminum trucks with a 50-degree reverse kingpin design deliver exceptional durability and precise control, especially during sharp turns and tight maneuvers.

Smooth & Grippy Wheels with Upgrade Options:

Large 96mm x 55mm, 80A durometer polyurethane wheels offer the perfect balance of shock absorption and grip for a smooth ride on various terrains.

Long-Range Power & Efficiency:

The 14S ultra-high voltage system with a 58.8V 8Ah Samsung 40T battery provides an impressive 403Wh capacity. This translates to a potential range of 31-34 miles (50-55 km) on a single charge (based on a 180-pound rider on flat terrain at 18.5 mph).
