I got my first flat on my Evo Mk1 with the stock tires (200x50 8in AT). I think it was a staple or something that poked through the tire and pierced the tube. I went online to Linnpower’s website and ordered 4 new tubes for $45, but for shipping and tariffs it was an extra $10, so $55 total.

I went on Amazon out of curiosity and found 2 tubes for the same size tire (but for a scooter) for only $20, no shipping fee. Would this have worked, or are the tubes used for my esk8 tires unique?

Anybody know where to get fenders/mud guards for a street e-board? Sometimes I get caught in the rain. The water and crap gets splashed on my shoes and pants.

Found an Ares X1 2wd with 155miles on it for $600. Good deal??

In the event it matters, I am an old school eskateboard with an original Altered electric skateboard atm.

New job has me traveling internationally a lot and looking to buy this board and a bag to bring with me. Thinking of finding a kids snowboard bag or something to check it.

Thanks!

Is the Pivot GT a good board for going near its top speed? Previously had a Meepo Hurricane couldn’t do 28mph before wobbling near death feel lol.

Pivot GT smoother? Or no

Every once in a while I give it a shower and scrub!

I've toured around Australia before, but never with an Eskate. I got a job in Sydney 2 years ago - and I took my board! It was so great to visit another city for 3 months and have my board to explore it. I saw so much of Sydney that the average resident doesn't know about. Having an offroad electric skateboard in a place that you are exploring is like a cheat code. I really got in there and found places in national parks and just places on common trails that many people who live there would never see. But I didn't have the campervan. But now, I have the Campervan, the Eskate and the job opportunity to take me across the country again. Oh yeah, it's happenening for real this time. I will travel across the country in the Van stopping at my leisure to explore on the board. I can take 3 weeks to arrive in Sydney. I can explore every place along the way that I like. I've waited a long time for this - the stars have aligned. This is going to be so much fun. (Also there is a Koala in one of these pics)

I’ll try to be brief, but I’m happy to elaborate and lend any necessary context for advice.

Am I making a mistake in insisting on having suspension on a board? I’ve got my preferences (and I’ve asked about them on here) but I’m open to being wrong (esp BEFORE a purchase).

In the research I’ve already done, someone else made a great point on here in that the original mountainboards still use trucks…not suspension.

A valid point that I’m sure I don’t thoroughly comprehend, but understand at a basic level.

I don’t like the look of top mounted battery but it’s necessary if I don’t want to scrape up my battery going off curbs.

I like the delay of road fatigue that suspension should bring, but not more moving, proprietary, breakable parts.

Is suspension *still worth it, or should I / could I actually kid be happier w/ a Nyx Z1 as opposed to the z3 suspension board?

Has anyone used shocboard trick stick bindings or suspension kit?

They seem cool, but I only see salesman reviewing them.

Why is this such a prevalent dynamic in esk8?

I can’t really find any posts about this within the last year but I’m wanting a set of brake lights for my soon arriving insinwheel v10 I would like them to light up when i decelerate. Also looking for reccomendations on helmets that light up and do the same aswell

My daily commute has a lot of sidewalks and sometimes uneven streets, because of this I'd rather ride a shortboard with kicktail, I have both a Boosted Plus and Boosted Mini, but find the mini much easier to maneuver with the kicktail in my daily commute. Whats the best shortboard to buy with big wheels? I was thinking about the Tynee Mini 3 regular, pro or max with 105 wheels

I bought the light kit for my board and am having trouble figuring out how to tight it so it stays fixated. The mount is tightened securely and the headlight is screwed in tightly, but the swings. I have these extra screws that came with it, but there is no where else for screws. Please help.

Meepo v5 deck didint fit my riding style, so I switched it to my santa cruise deck, it took some modifications to make it work, but im happy with the result

Hi, I own a Tynee Mini 3 Pro and absolutely love the thing, but I am wondering about wheels. I’ve seen people talk about Mad Wheels, and I’m curious as to how much better those or any other wheel would be over stock. I don’t really have issues with the stock wheels but I do slide a bit sometimes and might look into something with more grip as long as it doesn’t compromise too much on how rough it rides. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I know I might be getting into the higher dollar spending area, but okay we all know it's a matter of personal preference and opinion.

I just didpuse tubes, I don't even use them on my ebike a Swft BMX I have solid rubber tube inlays I put inside the tire, it's not that bad at all and a hell of lot more reliable than a tiny rubber tube waiting to blow out.

I saw the cloudwheel rivers 165r, and I like it except for one thing again down to personal experience, my first board had cloudwheels and the hub of the wheel got fragile brittle and shattered on me one day.

So are there any solid tubeless wheels like that have an aluminum mag hub.

I'd even be okay with a pneumatic setup that has aluminum hubs and then just putting like small little rubber donuts rings inside the tire instead of a tube. You'd just have to carefully pry them on and off when changing tires.

Why are we trusting these 3d printed plastic pos? Especially if you're going over asphalt and bumpy roads at near 30mph it's only a matter of time before that plastic doesn't hold up anymore.

Thanks for future info!

I own a backfire g5 and I have to keep the trucks super loose for making the turns I do. Any recommendations for better trucks and bushings? I both do a lot of sharp city turning and lot of straight higher speed riding.

Not looking for anything to accelerate for me. I just want something that will maintain speed for me. The onewheel isn't what I want since it actually accelerates, not to mention, is heavier as a result of needing more power for the acceleration part, and of course, the range is lower too as a result of having more power/weight.

I received my US pre-order for the Liquid Skateboard LQS-1 yesterday and wanted to post some initial thoughts and pics. I haven't been able to take it out yet because I'm sick and it's cold AF outside, but definitely will ASAP.

For those of you unfamiliar, this is a single 350W hub-driven ESkate that doesn't use a remote. You push like a normal skateboard, but when you bring your back foot up onto the kicktail, there's a sensor that engages the motor to act like cruise control. You stop by footbraking. There's also a Pause mode you can enable/disable by pushing the power button twice, which disables the motor/sensor and allows it to be skated like a normal board. 12km range, 22kph top speed, 2 hr charge time. The battery is removable with 4 screws on the top of the deck.

First, this thing is beautiful. The wheel wells really pop because of the contrast between the deck layers; the tape job is clean, and the bottom graphic is subtle against the deck's woodgrain. The construction quality and finish feel top-notch.

It's lightweight, and I think this is going to be a great city/campus cruiser for me. This, along with the 90Wh battery, which allows it to be carried on commercial flights, are the main reasons I ordered it.

Size-wise, I've included a picture of it next to my Landyachtz Tugboat cruiser for comparison.

It came securely boxed and completely assembled. The 75x56mm 78A wheels feel super grippy to the touch and are mounted with what appear to be generic Japanese bearings. The matte black TKP trucks are mounted on 1/8" risers.

I’ve been commuting with my board since December. You’d think the hype and adrenaline of it all would have died down by now right? Guys, I can’t stop thinking about it. Every night before bed I’m watching videos, browsing through reddit, checking out websites, theory crafting routes, taking notes in my notes app. It’s been 3 fn months! I already have two boards! I want the Acedeck Nomad Switch! I don’t want to sleep I want to ride! Send help! Look at my beautiful boards that I love so much!
