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.


    Cloud Wheel Ready:

    • Take comfort to the next level! The G5S is compatible with 105mm, 110mm, or 120mm Cloud Wheel donut upgrades (sold separately) for an even smoother ride.

    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).

    High-efficiency FOC ESC:

    • The Backfire 14S 60A FOC ESC delivers smooth, silent operation while maximizing power delivery for an extended range.

    Powerful Acceleration & Hill Climbing:

    Conquer inclines with ease:

    • The G5S tackles hills up to 30% grade.

    Water resistant (IP65):

    • Ride through unexpected puddles and light rain with confidence.
