Starting a little sale thread here before I list things on Facebook.
Long story short, the BKB Voyager remote sent me on a voyage straight to the ER with a fractured neck and back. The risk just isn’t worth it to me anymore, so I am getting out of ESK8.
No clue what to list this stuff for, so if I am way off just let me know.
Will take Paypal G&S if fees and the new BS tax that is being charged this year are covered. Would prefer F&F, Venmo, Cash App, etc. I’m not going to scam you, pinky promise.
Martix 2 trucks with motor mounts - $130 shipped
Soft blocks in the front and medium in the back. Overall in decent condition. The paint on the back truck is slightly dinged up as you can see from road debris.
@Posterduck I’m curious about your remote failure, was it just a cut out or dead throttle or what? I’ve been loving my Voyager remote, never had a cutout even during major group rides
definitely planning to swap soon regardless, especially after seeing this… hope you heal up quickly and completely man
It was a full-throttle type of failure. I don’t remember hitting the ground or much in the hour after, but I do clearly remember what happened before.
I had stopped before crossing the street, slowly crossed with a little throttle, and then went full throttle. When I let up on the throttle, it went to “neutral” for a split second before increasing to full over about half a second. It felt like it went from 0% to 100% over the course of my .4s positive ramp time. The last thing I remember is rocking the throttle forward and back hoping it would stop.
The good news is that I should make a full recovery, just slowly.
I’ve sold a couple of boards locally with voyager remotes… Although, Ive never experienced it myself, both buyers reported the same thing. Luckily, neither of them were injured.
You ok with shipping to a US forwarding address? It’s in New Jersey and they send it on to Europe. If so I’ll take the bearings and VESC remote, I was talking to Linus and will forward the remote to him
I’m not sure how different it is from the spintend uni1 remote, but I believe they’re both made by spintend… The uni1 remote potentiometer isn’t super durable, it’ll tend to lurch when you flick the throttle especially after a few falls… I imagine if the internals are the same then the voyager joystick could behave worse…
