Who is making the best hub motor street builds? Ride quality being most desired feature.
I try to follow Reddit for these types of threads to see what’s popular. I thought the Exway Flex sounded great but now I’ve seen a ton of reddit hate for Exway.
@hummie has the bestest hubs on the block, 83mm extra wide with Paris trucks and Centrax front wheels
For convenience I would do the Loaded x Unlimited hub motors, they are meant to be paired with 85mm Caguamas and they go on almost any typical lonboard/skateboard truck with standard axle (no extended, stepped, or removable axles)
I hate to say you’re setting yourself up for failure, but imo you are. These two statements are just at complete odds with each other really.
Meepo 100mm hubs are bearable with a flexy deck. I rode then for a while but on anything that wasnt a decent road they were rough. Seriously tho, once you put some legit 78A or softer urethan wheels and belt drives the comfort factor jumps massively, especially on a longer distance ride.
Since I have ridden almost all hub motor boards on the market I feel like I have to comment on this, although I’m biased obviously. If it’s just about ride comfort nothing beats a a Ranger X2/X3. If you are looking for speed, power and range, nothing comes close to Jetforce Boards. The Interceptor is out of stock but we might launch a successor for next year.
No one is gonna talk about Revel/Landwheel? The motors are pretty strong built and torquy. New ones are DD so you can use full urethane wheel instead of slim thane sleeve.
Not on Hummie’s level but as far as power go, most users say it hauls. Wondering how it would cope against Raptor hubs in a short drag race (before the Raptors crumble to apples)
And +1 for the Loaded Unlimited for convenience and small package, despite the price!
I love my landwheel, easily the most controllable and predictable board I own. Noobs have no problem riding it and it’s smooth as all get out. No torque monster but definitely respectable and the swappable batteries are nice
The few interceptor boards were all built by ecomobl. They OEM for “Jetforce”.
That shouldn’t be a secret anymore…
So all chinese boards that use these motors and the esc “come close”.
It’s based on the ecomobl M53.
Same deck, trucks, motors, wheels and sleeves. Same Ling Yi-7 ESC and remote.
According to ESK8 NRW, the ESC is supposedly customized. Who knows?!
You got it right. Only griptape, battery and enclosure are different, because the M53 officially never appeared with a 12s8p battery. Thats all! Nothing special.
