So for racing up to speed mostly is the difference or weight and hilliness you think I just hear/see these numbers and sounds kinda bananas to me if not racing?
I mean do you big dudes run that fast or just care less about eating shit too I just donât get how thatâs a comfortable commuting speed.
All good maxing things out and feeling the oomph are fine I guess I just saw Brian chime in and tried to equate it to a comfortable chill ride and it stopped making sense for a minute 
Know he uses the board as daily driver like me so doing riskier things is less our realm typically.
mine is a daily commuter too⌠i allways ride in full crash gear tho
i return from work at 2-3am consistently tho, so its more viable to have a race home 
Yah guess most of the roads I take have stop signs I stop at so thereâs just no simple way without jacking the acceleration to get up to those speeds before I hit a stop sign, also far prefer riding one road away from main roads but again means Iâm stopping at a lot of intersections⌠Still it seems a bit risky speed to be doing daily good to hear your geared up and ready to slide though 
Timing part helps too.
lots of bike lanes in my city, if i go on roads its mostly one-ways and in the night⌠its quite optimal for esk8 and also i never endanger people or myself needlessly
pretty much like i would ride a car or motorcycle
Gotcha yah a bit more of those in Chicago and surrounding areas over time but still have to pick and choose to find the bike paths here and the Berwyn police told me I canât have a motorized âvehicleâ on the sidewalk but gave me no fine so I stick to side roads here and everything seems good.
with the abundance of scooters around here i think police appreciate me being the only one wearing a helmet 
esk8 is not a vehicle as far as laws here are concerned⌠its a toy 
but officially its 5km/h and on sidewalk only for toys, its just that no one cares
Yeah I think toy vehicle is the correct legal classification but IANAL, either way wasnât worth fighting the cops over a warning. Iâm pretty sure they stopped me half out of curiosity, was getting a lot of questions at the time about the esk8. Think Tesla has started to rub some of the novelty of esk8 away though the general public but they still seem interested when Iâm on he train platforms etc.
same for me, cops only asked me out of curiousity, and made sure im not a complete maniac with some questionsâŚ
im tryin to be a decent example how to behave on an esk8 for the public perceptionâŚ
but that doesnt mean theres no time and place for some fun to be had
Can you send some of you nice police officers over to us?
germany is beyond helping 
Can I chime in on this settings chat briefly?
Its pretty easy to understand if you take it in stages.
It all starts with the battery. Period. Yours is capable of 100amps total. Never exceed this no matter what anyone tells you. You do not want the vesc thinking it can draw anymore than this continuously.
Then consider the actual esc because usually this is where the bottleneck occurs. Check what the esc can safely run. (in your case its fine at 50 amp per side)
Also consider what kind of bms is in the battery. Whether its a discharge or charge only.
In your case its a charge only so has no bearing on the amp draw during discharge.
(If for example you had a discharge bms then you would need to consider what that bms is rated for)
Then think about what you want from these settings.
More torque or more response higher up the range.
Battery amps set at max which in this case is 100a will give you some punch in the upper range of your throttle curve.
Motor amps will give you more punch off the line at the beginning of your throttle curve.
Motor amps is where you feel the most effect. When you up them the board will accelerate far quicker but you need to be aware of heat and thats an easy one. Look at the manufacturers specs and set accordingly. If your motors donât heat up significantly then up the amps in small increments until they are still good to hand touch after a hard ride.
I set my batteries to their max output and change motor settings according to the time of year.
for example. Winter, I run my motors at 100amps (manufactures recommend 80) each but in the summer drop them down to 80amps to keep them cool.
This is a general rule of thumb and not just for the set up you have now but future builds
thanks for taking the time to clarify this further, i had a general idea but this definetly helped seeing the bigger picture 
i have yet to test the new settings because the board is in pieces right now, but im curious how those 170kv motors react to more amps and if the result is noteworthy or if they oversaturate quick
but anyways since im doing this kind of tuning for the first time, ill go in small increments like you suggested and hope that the impact with the final settings is satisfying 
Once you understand the basic principles then its a walk in the park brother.
With motors all you need to do is keep an eye on heat. Most are capable of far more than specified but it really comes down to riding style and environment to finely tune.
good luck and hit me up if you need some help
so then, my quest for wheelies on take-off has finally begun 
aww cmon, its still fiiine
