Newbie in the scene looking for a pre-built won’t be excited if they don’t hear exaggerated numbers :laughing:

This is basically schadenfreude porn. My only complaint is that Linus isn’t one of the responders.

That’s how i take Simon around the block still. He hasn’t balled up enough to practice standing on the tuned down ArcBoard Aileron i have for him.

I wrote this comment on the video, but I’m pretty sure it’s not approved by them since I can’t find it publicly.

« The title is just pure clickbait.
This “huge” flaw is basically happening with literally EVERY other electric skateboard out there that uses regenerative motor as braking. You can basically go on youtube, change all reviews on electric skateboards to this title, and they would all still make sense.

That’s how a motor works, when you brake the energy of the braking power must go somewhere, nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed. If it isn’t transformed into heat, then it’s going back to the battery.

There is not ANY brand that has brakes not cutting out on you when you brake for a long time with a fully charged battery, NO ONE. »

Fun piece of Esk8 trivia/history For others, this dual rider stance is how @Kaly started to transport jerry of carvon fame out of the desert after our shenanigans. He probably could have made it too.

I didn’t like the grub screw method of securing the motors 0:50min.
Other than that a cool concept with the battery but I don’t believe people will actually bother with unscrewing/screwing the batteries. And you need to prove it with vibrations overtime.
You want swappable batteries? Do it without tools.

You mean after he smashed his head on the path?
