Is this still true even with big soft wheels like TB110?
For riding on the streets I agree 2WD is a must, but I do think there’s a market gap for people who ride on bike paths and care more about range than acceleration.

Don’t you think those people rather would steer towards the chinese boosted copies rather than a high-end, more expensive 1WD?

Their range sucks, and if they’re smart and know better, they’d know not to buy those boards. I know it’s not a huge market, but at least we would have someone to point towards when people ask us advice on what prebuilt board to buy that won’t break in a month.
As a real example: I wouldn’t have built my brother a board of his own if I could get a single drive board from Bioboards for 1200€ (I probably spent a bit more in total due to parts breaking / being incompatible)

I see, your brother is lucky to have you! I totally agree with you btw, they should know better. My thought was that most of those people probably get introduced to e-sk8 through a sponsered youtube “review” and don’t really know what to look for. I, too unfortunately, was once one of those “people”

It’s not okay. Please start your own Vendor Corner thread for something like this.

What battery are you using that allows 120km/ 75mile range?

The gap of bad customer service and broken promises. Yea don’t try that.
But as far as the OP, this shit is looking crazy @mackann, the collaboration you have with all the vendors is pretty cool!

Ok, second try without linking our shop.
@moon you find all information in the shop. Don’t want to hijack Markus thread.
Or to answer @moon’s question:
Hub motors. Hub motors and nearly ~100 battery cells is how they’re getting that range.
