regular hubs are so slow tho right?
I’m looking for a fast board, at least +50km/h
that’s a belt driven board right?
And I want a prebuilt ^^
Wait, one is in design / prototype testing stages and looks awesome.
But may be too long away or cost too much?
Wont be too slow.
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.
That’s likely gonna be way too expensive and I’d be wanting the 2WD version probably which is likely not coming for quite some time
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
It’s gonna be above €2500 with shipping to Sweden and import fees I guess?
not sure if I need to pay tax as well?
I don’t recommend the unbranded ebs belts.
I recommend lager-techniek.eu for branded gates strongbelts
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 have the feeling I break the ebs belts 5 times faster than gates powergrip.
And yes, the website sucks ass haha
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.
yup, had the same issue. My max loaded speed is even less with just 43km/h
Yeah, seems like they’re missing some sizes
I never use the search bar, always just keep scrolling.
Seems they don’t have 260… weird
Any other cheap EU site that delivers belts for reasonable prices?
I really need to get 260-5M-15 if I’m ever gonna try belts again ^^
Already been through like 10 belts on my board for now and I hate it.
They have 265mm tho
Send us a photo of you setup, the pulleys, etc, maybe there is a reason you are breaking 10 belts. I have done 1000km on a build with idler and the belts are still good.
It’s an Exway flex and the way you can change the belt tension on that board is minmal
