Just watched a review video on charger enhancer. Does this really prolong batteries life? I would like to occasionally check the battery health of my batteries as my friends often come over to charge their wheels at my apartment. Can anyone using one of this give some advice?
Before each board leaves the factory, my boss will personally ride it for the actual road testing to ensure that each board can provide the best riding experience. He always jokes that if someone can take over his current job, he just wants to be a test rider, haha! 😄
Below is a video of him riding the Endeavor 3 S in the park and free carving, he really enjoys every moment! This is not only a confidence in the product, but also a commitment to the quality of our skateboards.
I hope every rider can feel our passion and focus! I am very happy to share this with you, and look forward to your feedback and experience sharing!
Based on the specs this looks like a better bang for your buck than most Meepo boards but I can not find any reviews from the last month which seems to be a bit of a red flag. Has anyone bought one? How well do the swappable batteries work?
I know the LED deck is a bit gimmicky but being able to program it seems pretty cool. Probably worth the $429 if the board is at least somewhat durable.
I moved over the summer and my remote has gone MIA, I tried a generic universal remote from Amazon and it didn't pair. Without the remote this board is bricked, and revel appears to be dead as a company. The kit was running great and has a lot of life left in it, I'm open to taking it apart and replacing parts but I'm not sure if that's possible or where to start. Any ideas would be much appreciated 🙏
Im about to order a new electric skateboard within the next 2 weeks and was looking for a good CHEAP full-face helmet recommendation, I don't really care about color just the price and if its actually safe lol.
Pls help I’m looking for a budget (under 500usd) eskate, but idk which to get. I also don’t know if I should get a long or short board. I’m currently looking at wowgo 2s max, wowgo mini 2, tynee ultra sl, and tynee mini 3 sl, but open to suggestions.
I used to have a penny board so I want to know how an electric longboard (wowgo 2s max) would compare in terms of stability, maneuverability, comfort, etc. I know electric isn’t going to feel the same as non-electric, but what about just the board itself.
Can two people ride a wowgo 2s max (96cm) or another equivalent board together? Just for 2km distance or less. Both let’s say adult average weight. Would this be comfortable for us and ok for the board?
I’m deciding between wowgo 2s max and wowgo mini 2/2s. Also is hub or belt motor better (mini 2 or mini 2s)? I’ll be using it around the city and college campus, probably little to no off-roading. Im a beginner, only have experience with penny board years ago.
I am using flipsky 7070 110kv with vesc 4.12 controller and I am having an issue where I have some resistance in the motor. When I don't use the throttle input the motor just seizes up and is very reluctant to spin. It will only spin when I use throttle and as soon as I stop using throttle it will come to a stop fast instead of coasting for a bit and gradually slowing. When i unplug the battery it is immediately freed up and spin with a normal amount of force using my hand. What is the issue here?
I’m looking for a longboard for under $1000. I’m wanting a hub motor and heavy weight capacity. I’m not overly concerned with range. I have a Miles sex panther and before it started crapping out on me my average ride distance was 3 miles. I’m currently considering the Tynee Ultra Hub.
Do i need to be worried?
Is there a board similar to the exway wave (under 100wh swappable battery) that folds so you can fit it into carry on bag on a plane. (under ~20 inches in length)
I saw a kickstarter called traveler boards that had exactly what I was looking for but they never got out of kickstarter.
How many of yall experience this? They always be testing their speed, it seems like xD
Already experienced street rider for a few years. Looking to get a second board that could be ridden on streets but would mainly serve as an off-road board. Mainly would be dirt trails but also some grass or loose sand (beach?) rides. Looking in $1000 range but could be $2000+ if you think worth it.
Electric skateboards are illegal to use anywhere besides public property in Victoria.
But I suspect this is one of those laws that's probably not enforced unless you're being stupid.
Has anyone actually been pulled up my police for riding an Eskateboard?
(For context I live in regional Victoria but am thinking about bringing my board to Melbourne)
I'm thinking about buying my first e-skate so I spent a lot of time in this sub trying to figure what would be the best fit for me, I thought I'd go for an Acedeck Nomad N3 but I just found out the shipping to Europe is 150$ and I'm not sure I'm ready to spend that much when other brands offer free shipping.
So now I'm kinda overwhelmed with all I've read here and there, so I figured I'd ask what board would be recommended for my use.
I'd like to use this board as a green transportation to reduce car use, I'd like to use it for ride up to 30km.
I live in the countryside so I was thinking going for AT wheels as roads are not always the smoothest over here.
I'm small (170cm, 60kg)
My budget would be around 1500€ and I haven't really made a choice about hub, belt or gear drive yet.
Other boards I had in mind so far were the Tynee Explorer and the Onsra Black Carve 3 Pro.
Any suggestions or advice is much appreciated, I'm really eager to get into this hobby !
(Edit : Forgot to say I've ride a normal longboard before, not much, but I still have some sense of balance, whithout calling myself a rider)
Is it even possible? Is there a known software hack or something? I know it's a long shot but this board would be so much more usable with analog braking. The actual remote seems totally capable of doing so as far as the input wheel, it definitely feels analog in both directions.
Today was my first time riding an electric skateboard. I recently got a Wowgo Pioneer X4 and today was my first chance to ride it, and i have to say, what a fun experience that was! I'm not a super confident skateboard rider going into this, so I didn't go past speed mode 2 yet (16mph). It definitely took a little getting used to the board pushing vs me pushing the board, but I ended up doing two laps around my local park. I can't wait for more riding to come!
Been with a Tynee Mini 3SL stock for a month in NYC and I've been having a blast. The longest I've ridden was 8 miles to LIC following Queens BLVD. I've been getting fast bit by bit but I've realized I start to get scared once I reach 18+ MPH. I'm well aware I don't have the greatest city board and perhaps I'll upgrade one day but I'd love to hear some experience of people at NYC or any city. I've been reading this sub-reddit for a month now so I'm padded up with extra lights for night time riding but I can't gauge or have a reference of my improvement. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Call it a pipe dream, but I think it would be fun as hell. It has brakes on it, you can lean with your elbows and take some strain off the knees, go fast more confidently with the extra all terrain wheels, then sit for snack from your chair/bin. If someone has a grandpa whose not using their rollator, please please tell me if this is the way to go for a lazy rider!
Also looking for helmet deals if y’all know of some.
This is gonna be my first eskate but I skateboarded/snowboarded for over 20 years if that matters
