OMW Cavalry is making waves in the electric skateboarding community, and for good reason. This Eskate is packed with premium components and features a unique design that prioritizes both performance and rider comfort. From its powerful motors to its innovative deck, here’s a comprehensive look at what makes Cavalry electric skateboard a standout choice.
Power and Performance: Built for Speed and Range
At the heart of Cavalry's impressive performance is a meticulously chosen power system.
Motors: OMW Cavalry runs dual 6374 belt-drive motors rated at 165KV. This pairing gives riders that satisfying “pop” of acceleration while still reaching top speeds. Whether you’re cruising at 46 km/h without wobbles or pushing towards the 60 km/h limit, these motors keep things responsive and consistent.
ESC: Under the hood, OMW Cavalry runs the Hobbywing 9028 ESC, the latest generation (G6 or possibly G7). This ESC is known for silky throttle response and reliable braking. Riders get brake adjustment and the ability to switch between miles and kilometers, all accessible via the remote. There’s even third-party app connectivity, though it’s more of a nice-to-have than an essential.
Battery: The 12S4P battery configuration is a sweet spot for electric skateboards, offering excellent range without unnecessary bulk. Powered by Samsung 50S cells, it delivers:
- 20Ah capacity
- 70–80A output (35–40A per motor)
The 50S cells also provide strong acceleration while maintaining stability at higher speeds. OMW Boards claims a top speed of 60 km/h, and based on real-world riding, that’s absolutely within reach.
Ride and Handling: Stability and Comfort are Key
OMW Cavalry's design is all about creating a comfortable and stable ride, whether you're on the road or tackling rougher terrain.
Deck: The carbon fiber and glass fiber deck supports an impressive 150 kg (330 lb) max rider weight. A unique split-enclosure design allows for natural deck flex—rare in carbon decks—helping absorb vibrations on rough roads. At just 17.5 kg (38 lb), it’s easy to carry, especially with the included front handle.
Trucks and Wheels: OMW Cavalry comes stock with Double Kingpin (DKP) trucks measuring 9.5 inches wide. These trucks offer a stable yet highly maneuverable ride. For carving enthusiasts, DKPs are the go-to choice, and these deliver smooth, fluid turns right out of the box. Out of the box, Cavalry Eskate ships with 175mm all-terrain (AT) tires mounted on OMW’s own custom rims—a refreshing change from generic AT wheels. The tires are inflated to 30 PSI for a balance between comfort and grip, with no risk of wheel bite thanks to the deck shape.
The AT setup excels both on-road and off-road, absorbing bumps with help from the deck’s carbon and glass fiber layup.
Features and Extras: Thoughtful Design for a Complete Experience
OMW Cavalry doesn't skimp on the details. It comes with several features that enhance safety, convenience, and overall user experience.
Lighting: Lighting is often an afterthought in e-skate design, but not here. The Cavalry Eskate features:
- Built-in tail/brake light - Steady when cruising, flashing when braking
- Optional hard-wired headlights - Super bright and controlled from the remote
Double-clicking the remote’s power button activates both lights for safe night riding.
Extra Features – Built for Real-World Riding:
- IP56 water-resistant rating (not for heavy rain)
- 4.5A fast charger – Full charge in about 5 hours
- Included motor guard for drivetrain protection
- Front carry handle for rolling transport
Performance Summary
- Top Speed: 60 km/h
- Range: ~55 km
- Hill Climb: 40% grade (lighter riders may achieve more)
- Weight Limit: 150 kg
- Weight: 17.5 kg
OMW Cavalry electric skateboard delivers a perfect balance of speed, stability, and versatility, making it suitable for both urban commuting and weekend trail carving.
Final Verdict - Why the OMW Cavalry Stands Out
OMW Cavalry isn’t just another electric skateboard—it’s a well-engineered machine for riders who want premium performance without compromising ride comfort. From its responsive Hobbywing ESC to its Samsung 50S battery pack, DKP trucks, and vibration-dampening deck design, every component has been chosen with rider experience in mind.
If you’re seeking an electric skateboard that handles 60 km/h speeds with confidence, carves smoothly, and can tackle mixed terrain, OMW Cavalry deserves a spot on your shortlist.
