It is worth mentioning that both of their battery cells use the internationally renowned brand – Samsung 21700 40T.
Both battery enclosures are sealed very well, but please note that they are not completely waterproof, just water-resistant. Water-resistant means that electric skateboards won’t let water in easily. So if you drive on a wet road your board should not break. But if you skate over puddles or even submerge your board into the water there is a high likelihood that water will get to electric parts.

ESC and Remote
Both Possway and Meepo use LYFOC ESC, like Hobbywing, LY has a good reputation in the electric skateboard market.
Meepo uses the M5S remote control, the mango color looks friendly to others when you hold it and is easier to find. The color is very conspicuous.
As usual, Meepo Voyager X has 4 speed modes, which you can choose according to your actual needs.
Possway's remote control has a different looking than the previously remote and feels more comfortable to hold in the hand. It also has 4 speed modes. On top of that, there is a new feature is added to the remote– Pause mode.
After 4 seconds of no riding, Possway Lynx will automatically enter the Pause mode that keeps your board locked, providing extra safety.
Wheels
Meepo provides a special release edition for the first 900 customers, you can get a set of Cyclon 110mm wheels for free. But now, this offer is ended, and you have to pay extra money to get the bigger wheels now. The standard factory configuration of the Meepo Voyager X is 90mm.
And the standard factory configuration of the Possway lynx is 2-in-1. you can experience 105 wheels and 90mm wheels all at once.
And they have released new 105mm wheels called starry wheels. They can be lighted up when you ride, you'll have to buy them extra yourself if you need them. If you ride at night a lot, I think you can buy a set of starry wheels.
Deck
Meepo Voyager's deck is made of a composite of bamboo and fiberglass. The resulting product is a strong and flexible deck that stretches under your weight without feeling limp.
The Possway Lynx features a 37.2″ longboard deck made of 1-ply bamboo and 8-ply Canadian maple. It has a concave shape that assists with turning, and a slight dropdown that locks your feet in to provide confidence that your feet aren’t going to slip off during the ride.
In other words, you can clearly feel the position of your feet during the ride, and you can fully focus on the road and where you are going rather than constantly looking down to check that your feet haven’t moved.
Both decks can carry up to 330lbs / 150kg of weight.
