Direct drive longboard pedals on Aliexpress and Ebay

[njrgh88]

Well basically that, has anyone tried some of these longboard direct drive pedals that are being published on Alliexpres? I also saw many on Ebay.
Basically they are pedals like axis, trick, etc. But I think they are only generic Chinese models, they make me very curious since they are around 400 dollars, so they have no competition in terms of price, but I have not been able to find any type of review on the internet.

Thank you!

If it looks too good to be true etc. The connecting bar is obviously the most crucial part, so putting an ACD drive on a used Tama/Pearl/Yamaha still looks to be the best inexpensive option.

They may look similar, but I don’t think I’d risk it. I have an Axis pedal from 1999 that I still use daily. I’d rather have a known name on something that takes that much abuse.

What about Altune pedals? Those are not on the cheap end and the guy that makes them seems responsive enough when people had issues.

I'm curious to try the double pedal, apparently you can convert it to chain, strap or direct drive and it comes with all the parts.
It also looks to be very well built..

Anyone tried those???

I have no experience with these pedals, but i think theres a reason why you don't really see many of these super cheap pedals attached to anyone's kits. They generally fall apart or are terrible.

With that being said - I think we're entering a new era of cheap, but surprisingly good stuff coming out of china, so you never know - these may be good. They look alright from that video. Personally I wouldnt go near them though. Buy nice or buy twice is a rule that generally holds up.

Those are not Chinese, they are Korean and they are not cheap at around $800 for a double pedal so in the same realm as some Pearl or Trick pedals.. but yes cheap things are getting better quality wise, as an example take the tools from Harbor Freight which used to be pure garbage but now they are actually decent, I guess quality control is becoming more strict which is a good thing. Also I did a search and you can't find them on sale on Temu or Alibaba or any of those other sites, just on their own site. The problem with some Chinese tools was that the metal alloys didn't have the correct amounts so the metal ended up brittle and prone to break with very little stress. They might be correcting that now...

Oh crap, my bad. I just aliexpress and assumed they'd be cheapies from china or something. They do look pretty solid actually.
