Hey I’m looking to buy, a fast 4WD electric skateboard. Are 4 wheel drive boards faster? What are the benefits? Are there any good deals? I’m deciding between Ace Deck X1 4WD, Ownboard Zeus Pro AWD, Exway Atlas 4WD, Backfire Sledge 4WD or any similar board that’s fast. Are these boards stable at speed and around corners?

Hello everyone! I currently have a Meepo mini 2 and am looking at upgrading to a belt driven board, mostly for the comfort of using different wheels such as clouds, possibly very small AT, etc. with its battery I noticed I can’t really find any options when buying rear setups from Meepo as well as other brands that match up with this battery. Is there any good rear kits for belt drive that don’t break the bank and are compatible with a 10s2p? I need to find a compatible dual esc/vesc and remote as well as I know about the only thing I’ll be able to salvage from the mini 2 would be the battery and cases for the esc/battery. Much appreciated for any ideas/advice! I’m looking at keeping a kicktail/cruiser style as that is my preference, however I’m trying to find one that is hopefully able to handle 105/120mm cloud wheels without wheelbite.

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could have lights on our boards to tell other people we’re breaking so they don’t freak out/know we’re gunna slow down. Do they exist?

Anyone on the ground and know the top places and winners in the Pro category? I've got a friend riding and don't want to pester him but would like to know how he went.

This tail is preventing me from mounting the motors, pretty significantly. My first thought was to drill and move the truck hanger all the way to the rear but those annoying notches make that impossible. Any advice? Don’t want to lose structural integrity of the deck

I bought a set of their lights to equip to the front of my eboard and the first one bugged out within a few weeks. Got it replaced, and then a few months later the other one bugged out (I think I used it for at max 10-12 hours) and upon E-mailing them--they said I'm out of warranty. Very disappointed with these lights--just go for a third party.

So I'm both a Reddit noob and was a street skater almost a decade ago but haven't touched a board in years, so please be patient if I say something dumb 😅

I'm looking to pick up my first eboard, but as someone's who likes to repair his own stuff I wanted to ask folks how possible it is to source and replace a battery that's given up or a motor with an issue (a bit down the line hopefully). Is the OEM the only source for parts usually, or could I get a replacement unit from Amazon, or electronic parts distributors? I'm basically just hoping to not end up with a board who I can't find a part for three years down the line.

I have the skillset I could probably diy an eskateboard, but I'm not interested in investing the initial time to do it all from scratch unless it's the only option for good future repairability. As long as it's relatively easy to source parts for premades I think buying a premade and repairing it if parts go later down the line is my best bet, but before I pull the trigger on a big purchase I wanted to ask Reddit. I googled around but wasn't satisfied with what I found and want to be as sure as possible.

For those who are interested, I'm looking at the Backfire Zealot currently.

Tl;dr: are electronic long/skate boards generally repairable without proprietary tools/parts? Are there any brands to avoid for this, or is the hobby rather friendly to home repairs and maintenance?

Thank you all in advance for taking the time, I appreciate it greatly.

Hey, I'm based in Portugal.

Any parcels from outside the EU are seized by Portuguese customers and held until 23% fees are paid.

Are there any distributors inside the EU who sell the Meepo Flow?

Thanks!

How big can wheels get on eskates? I would like the portability of a skateboard, but would also love a bigger wheel size to tackle roads better.

I would like to be able to ride a skateboard instead of a scooter, if possible.

For context I have a battery with some range issues and I have to buy another one. I didn’t have much knowledge at the beginning for battery care,and still feel there’s more I can learn to make it last as long as possible.

Things I know Charge to 80% never use below 20% Watch it while it charges Don’t get it wet Don’t charge or use in cold.

What should I do with it right out of the box when it arrives? Also for the old battery I only plan to use it in cold months since I already messed it up range wise that way how would I go about storing it until winter? Should I just keep it charged in my pack as a range backup? thinking on top mounting the battery anyways since my neighborhood has quite a bit of speed bumps.

Could it be that I can add one more battery to increase the mileage on my meepo mini 5, does the battery go in parallel or do I need something else?

has anyone every tried these? how is the performance, tech features and does it last?

If you were to make a diy build what specs would you have for a commuter board. Ex. size, direct drive or train, motor power, ESC type, remote features, trucks, deck size etc.

Can anyone confirm if these would work on a Tynee board mini 3? Would the pulleys fit?

As a consumer who purchased a Tynee mini 3 SL 1,5months ago, I feel compelled to share my disappointing experience with this company. Despite their promises of swift delivery within a maximum of 8 days, my order has not been shipped even after 1.5 months.

My order number is T26182, and I've reached out multiple times via email to inquire about the status of my order. Each time, I received assurances from Aiden that it would arrive within a week, but these promises turned out to be nothing but lies.

This delay has caused me immense frustration and inconvenience, particularly since I had planned to gift the board to my son for his birthday. However, due to Tynee's inability to deliver on their promises, I was forced to scramble and find an alternative gift at the last minute.

Adding insult to injury, when I attempted to voice my concerns by commenting on Tynee's YouTube channel, my comment was promptly deleted. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable and raises serious questions about Tynee's commitment to customer satisfaction.

In conclusion, I strongly advise against purchasing from Tynee until they can demonstrate a genuine dedication to fulfilling orders in a timely manner and treating customers with the respect they deserve. My experience serves as a cautionary tale for anyone considering doing business with this company.

The adhesive unstuck and the battery jiggled around inside for a few weeks before I realized it was a problem

I have a Meepo NLS hub motor board as by backup board (My Meepo Voyager belt drive board is my primary board). I am asking are there any hub motor wheel sleeves that are rubber and not urethane (100mm to 110mm)? I got spoiled with my smooth, quiet 110mm Cyclone wheels and I want some of that feeling for my NLS. The front wheels are no problem of course just use the Cyclones, but the rear need rubber sleeves.

Thanks.

My electric skateboard has a 36V/2.2ah and I'm not sure on getting which power charger as I don't want to ruin the battery. There are many like 36v 42v 48v so I'm just confused on what to get. Help?

I understand that evolve boards in general suck, seems like the consensus is that they’re over price, underpowered and unreliable but I really like the slim good looks of the bamboo GTR series and I think the range and speed it offers is quite good. If they’re as bad as everyone says they are and there are so many alternatives, what are these alternatives because nothing I can find has the good looks and decent price of the GTR?
