Curious if anybody has done something like this? New to eskate. Was thinking about trying v10 and slapping some of these on. Heard board was real stiff and want to be able to take on the beaten path . Or terrible idea?

Any tips for a beginner? 😅

it seems like a soft plastic, would i be better off getting a new remote?

Hey guys.

My wowgo at2 has finally decided to die after 4000 km, and as such I'm looking to upgrade. Since I haven't been following the brands since 2020,I decided to ask here for a recommendation.

I'm searching for a prebuilt board at around 1000 $ (can go above that a bit) with as much range as possible and has pneumatic wheels.

So far I've only found the linpower mk1 but I haven't heard od that brand before.

Let me know what you guys think I should choose.

I picked up a carbon zeus pro from ownboard last summer and I can only get about 17 miles on it. I thought the lower range vs marketed was bc I'm over 200lb, but I just realized that they sent me a smaller battery than I ordered. I am messaging them, but don't expect anything good diven fb from others who received the wrong products. So I'd like to upgrade my battery and I don't want to buy the replacement (or anything ever again) from ownboard.

Recommendations for acquiring a suitable, larger battery?

I was supposed to receive the Samsung 50S 21700 13S4P 20Ah 936Wh, but instead received a Molicell p42a 21700 1354p 16.8Ah 786Wh.

Also happily taking recommendations for a suitable fast(er) charger than my current 4-5 hours.

I’m trying to order the 8 inch mudpluggers and when checking out it says something about import tax, and how to courier will demand payment. I’m in the US. It’s my first time seeing this, and I’m wondering if anyone else knows about it. I’m tripping thinking a courier will hold my package until I pay? Like how does this work

Hi everyone,

I have a Meepo Voyager with about 250 miles on it. Was wondering what sort of things I should be doing to maintain it and ensure it lasts.

Maybe bearings and trucks need to be cleaned but not sure.

It has rolled through some water a couple of times but overall everything appears to be good and I don’t notice any obvious rust or anything that looks out of the ordinary.

Thanks

typo in title***braking not breaking***so ive had this board for while now, i purchased in oct 2024 and rode it till about november however i stopped using when i almost got injured. i was going down a hill not even that steep and when i engaged the brakes it did not work, it almost felt like it was braking slightly but not really maybe like 10%. ive sinced retired this board since i did not want to risk me dying because it cant come to a stop. any one know whats wrong with it? when riding on flat ground and going full speed i can come to a full stop and brakes work fine,

Hi I have recently got an Evolve Bamboo GT as a hand me down and I don’t know anything about electric skateboards and so I bought a flipsky vx2 as I thought it would work but it does not pair. What should I do other than buy a phaze remote?

I'm in the UK and want an electric skateboard, already tried the razor one but I don't like how loud it Is. Is there any electric skateboards in the UK that are silent and decent under 3-400 quid?

OMW Cavalry on the left, which is significantly bigger and heavier than the B-one Balrog X on the right.

Will give you feedback tomorrow or Sunday on how this board performs on madwheelz 105 (it's a DKP) : I will go from full battery to 1% because I'm not sure someone did this range test already.

Bought this thing about 20 years ago haha.

I replaced the bushings last spring hoping to get it going but I have no juice. The batteries get 0.01V out of them, but I need 36V. I'd MAYBE just replace the heavy lead batteries but I lost the charger a decade ago and would just rather go to a lighter setup.

The motor is good. Controller is good. Tires are good-ish, but hold air. Bushings almost new.

What kind of battery pack/charger do I need for this 800W motor?

Hi everyone, quick background: looking to get an esk8 for the first time in a long time and super interested in the Backfire Nalu, primarily for its lightweight and portability. Top speed/range doesn't matter as much to me (last mile + short local commute only) and I'm hoping to kick push/carve occasionally for some very light cardio.

I'm about to pull the trigger, but after some last minute research I saw they had a huge recall about 1-2 months ago. I'm hoping someone in this sub can help answer a few quick questions:

1. If I place an order right now, will there be some sort of delay? What will be the estimated shipping time for air or sea?
2. Are the specs on the website updated? I know they changed away from the 99wh battery, just wondering if that affected the weight (most important to me), range, top speed, etc.
3. Any other suggestions for boards that fit my use case? Ideally around or under 15 lbs with the ability to kick push with low rolling resistance in a pinch. I'm aware of the Parsec Aero Pro from Daniel Kwan but Batch 2 isn't shipping out until the end of March and it's a little too expensive for me to justify it right now.

Thanks!

Have to spend a week+ in another state and I very much want to bring my carbon zeus pro. Anyone have any insights on how to travel with it by air? Feels like I can't even bring the battery in my carry-on.

Thx much

so I have a backfire zealot S board and I was wondering if there are any recommendations for a better bearings like bones or zealous bearings. I'm looking for something fast and not needing to maintain a lot and price isn't a concern as long as it lasts me.

I really like this model but I've never tried these wheel. Do they feel ok on pavement? How hard are they to swap out?

Recently picked up a backfire g2s (free on marketplace) with a bad battery pack, tore it all down and found enough corrosion on the battery to not want to attempt to use it again, looking into a replacement pack from backfire will be $160 or so and I was wondering if there’s any aftermarket options that would be a better use of that money?

I am looking for a skateboard that needs about 6 miles a day, I do live in Hawaii so some sites have much larger shipping costs than others, like Meepo matched the shipping to price of the product to almost a 1 to 1, any recommendations? its quite late so ill be checking reply's tomorrow morning, thank you in advance!

Tempted to pull the trigger, but the company no longer exists and the board is over 5 years old. But the board looks like a total tank. Or should I just buy a new Acedeck, Ownbaord prometheus, or Propel Endeavor?
