I know it’s a long shot but does anyone have some Hummie Hubs they would like to sell me and ship to Australia?

I have fallen in love with them so any help or leads on a set would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks man!

I messaged the kickstarter guy a couple of days ago so fingers crossed and I have just messaged the Jacobs hubs guy for more info. I have only been into esk8 for a year and have never herd of them.

They won’t hold a candle to how refined hummie hubs are, but they’ll function. I think they could be a good buy so you can see what you like and dislike about them, before you get the hummies

Do you think raptor hubs would be better fit? I can get a set locally.

Absolutely NOT

Those are the worst option you could possibly choose

You will get seriously injured with raptor hubs. If you need budget hubs I would reccomend hubs from a Chinese vendor (or the jacob hubs) to tide you over until you get a set of hummie hubs

Don’t forget the feeling of your face cheese-grating on the asphalt!

My favorite term for this is: Meatcrayon

@OtherGuys do you know if Meepo / wowgo / ownboard still all use the same hubs?

Because if they do, @Coreywolf then they’re probably alright. Those chinese hubs are "good enough to ride”, but durability is always a concern :man_shrugging:t2:

Mates don’t let mates ride raptors.

PS… if anyone here who isn’t my mate wants some raptor hubs… 200AUD :rofl:

I’ve got a set of Meepo hubs on a DIY and they are good for the price. Ive had 3 meepo boards prior to this and no issues with motors but always sell them after 1000km or so haha, so not 100% sure of durability long term. The current set I have on a DIY I have them running at 20amps per side with a Maker X. They have done around 1000km now too but only about 500km on the higher amp settings. Previously they were run on a Hobbywing ESC maxing at 15amp per motor.

I think they are a decent starter motor for sure!
