I don’t blame him though, with costs of material right now to make those kinds of motors aint cheap especially with the pandemic making a bunch of factories produce less

which should still be treated with caution. Regardless of who claims it.

Yes, but this is Hummie. Special case.

Thanks for the compliments and I do try to make the most durable hubs. given the history of hub motors in eskate it seems worth striving for.
Thinks are still coming. So slow. Multiple reasons.
I did offer a lifetime warranty on these latest motors to motivate possible supporters. The reality is the design is completely new other than the tire motor interface, which has been the problem with many if not all hubs in the past. At this point with now years of testing the tire has proven safe.
Polyurethane can be thermoform or thermoset. We use thermoset and it will still deteriorate at higher temps and you can read temps as low as 160f for that happening. It greatly depends on what pu as to how it survives and that’s why did the Kickstarter: to get the money raised to get the reliable stuff made in mass instead of just the “samples”

They were marketed as supposed to be pushed to the limits…
I bought my raptor from a guy who crashed twice, second one ended him in a coma.
Needless to say i got a good price on it, including a “raptor ruckus” t-shirt from Jp himself 
When the raptor craze was still on i sold my hubs + sleeves for 500 bucks to some ignorant fool, i literally also told him all the risks involved.
Very glad I got them out of my life, raptor was also a bad buy. Only good thing was the unity.

Why would you push any motor of aby kind do its limits though…that’s asking for trouble. If you don’t replace the wheels when they crack then that’s the only danger I see because chunks will come off but other than that they work perfectly fine and I haven’t had any issues so far.
I sold mine to a friend for $175 a few months back… They were brand new…
Got mine for 195
Tbh, if these motors fail or I can’t find replacement sleeves I can just sell the hubs bare and just get 90mm meepo hubs. I hear they are pretty good
Mind if I ask why they are better?
bigger wheels always help with rolling over cracks and tiny rock / pebble, also the thane is thicker on the 100 compare to 90
like 10% less torque and more heat tho. you’re forgetting most of us are fat
there are always pros and cons, its all about trade offs
I’ll probably do 90mm for now because I have 90mm front wheels
Are the raptor 2 wheels the same as raptor 2.1?
I’m not sure, outside diameter looks about the same but I’m not sure about their length or inside diameter
Do you think you could get measurements for me in either inches or mm? And I’ll get back to you later on mine?
