I need a board with good torque and speed (25+ mph) around that price range. I’ve been eying that meepo v3 but I’ve heard bad stuff about it and it’s hub driven but I don’t mind much about that since I’m going to buy cloud wheel if I decide to buy a hub board.

I think it will be hard to get a belt driven for that money. The Meepo is gonna be as good as any $500 esk8, people will have complaints, and that’s why typically $1000-$2000 is the price.
The Backfire range sell a belt driven (Zealot), but since it has the bigger battery it’s more like $900 .
Wowgo, Meepo and Backfire. Are the ‘big budget’ brands.

Backfire Zealot is our newly released belt drive electric skateboard with 311wh 21700 battery and 2 x 750w high torque motors. For a limited time only, you can get $200 off discount on the Zealot, now only $699 by using coupon code “ZEALOT200” at checkout.
@noobbuilder Do your own research on this board, but the brand is meant to be okay. And that’s the only BeltDrive board I could find that meets your price.

Look for a good used one, you might get a better deal.

You could go for the exway x-1 max riot kit, which is both a hub motor setup, as well as belts. Super easy to swap them out, fun board as well! Only thing is that it has this magnetic charger (like the MagSafe on a Mac laptop) and if that thing gets dirty, it’s a pain to connect. As long as you keep the charging port covered and the charger someplace free of ferromagnetic particles, it’s a great little machine
