I bought an Ares x3 2nd hand from an esk8 online group. My credit wasn’t the best at the time or else I would have went through Acedeck officially with Klarna. I already have a frankenstein project board with fixing my Propel Pivot with a different Gear Drive. Is it really Worth to try and salvage and save this board from 2023?
I get 12 miles of range out of the board. Im 190 Pounds, Its supposed to be a 777wh battery. Ive gotten the same amount of Range from Isinwheel, and Tynee Stinger products and those boards were severly cheap on the quality side.
The seller laughed at me when I expected actual decent range “From a race board” and now I’m pissed I’m out $850 on a board he knew wasnt that good. My propel pivot with a 864 wh battery Genuinely gave me 35+ miles of range so I know I’m not being entitled for being ripped off here.
What’s your average riding speed when you’re getting 12 per charge? It is a 4wd board so it’s powering two sets of motors, and it’s only a 14s3p P42A battery.. 740wh max/635wh nominal. If you’re riding at decent speeds (20+) then 12mi sounds realistic. Don’t ever believe any range estimates you read from most board manufacturers out there.
No, this is the gear drive 2023 version with 1 set of motors. Im not going any faster than 18mph but around the 11 or 12 mile mark, the board shuts off a few times trying to fling me off and then burns out with an Overheating warning. If my 864 wh battery can give me 35+ miles of range and my tynee stinger with 544wh can give me 26, this Ares 775wh battery giving me 12 miles is total garbage.
Ah ok, I thought it was the previous 4wd X3. 12mi does sound low for a 14s3p 50S pack on thane wheels, but again if you’re ripping speeds a fair bit it will kill your range big time. I could kill my old Zealot 12s2p pack in 7-8mi by riding at a constant 20~
if it’s throwing an overheat warning I’d maybe pop open the gear drives and see if there’s anything in there causing excessive drag, which will hurt range and heat up your motors.
