I’ve tried both with and without belt covers and they still break all the time.
So stupidly tired of changing belts and if my hub board wasn’t broken (had it for like 2 years without any maintenance at all and used it in rain, snow, went through deep puddles etc) I’d still be using that probably even if the speed, range and feel was worse.
I have been looking a bit at Ecomobl ET2 which might be a good fit for me, some maintenance but should not be that frequent at least.
The board you are showing now has planetary geardrives, which would probably need a looking after aswell and are way nastier to fix should they break. I dont think the tech is very proven as of yet.
If you can buy a used Bioboard off someone then maybe.
If the exway flex had 63mm motors you could just buy a 3d servisas geardrive yourself to use with the board, but unfortunately I think it uses 50mm motors…
Meepo hubs on 100mm sleeves do over 50km/h (i’m pretty sure i could hit 52km/h on them weighing 92kgs) and are decent for the price. That was using the Lingyi esc though. For some reason switching to a vesc based esc i dropped to about 48km/h. That’s running them with 10s battery. I’m not sure if they support 12s but that would get the top speed back if it’s possible.
Nope, Bioboards have always been gear driven as far as I’m aware.
@Ols3n 's suggestion is a good one – that one literally is the fastest direct drive board you can buy for under 2500€ right now I bet It’s just that if/when the direct drives break, you’ll need someone to service them. Considering you’re looking for a prebuilt (possibly due to being able to send it in for service), Onsra might be the better choice… Well, depends on how much range you want I guess
Ooh, I’ve had very good experience with strongbelts. I used to get them from beltingonline, but guess it was just luck, because not all of their sizes were Gates. Thanks!
(That website sucks to navigate. <length>-5M<width> in the search bar seems to be the way to go.)
I don’t seem to find any belts with 260 length?
HTD255-5M-15mm are the current ones I have on my board but since they are too tight I think I should get 260.
