Ikr, first you gotta be able to just ride at 40mph without dying in the first place, and then get comfortable accelerating to that speed and then de-accelerating to not go even faster :sweat_smile:

I’m fine with being at that speed.

I just don’t think I can get my 12s@2.78:1 to go that fast unless I lose all the rider weight, or go up to bigger wheels which will kill acceleration. I guess I could just go all out on amps, it’s not like range is a factor here…

TBH I’ve never got a board over 60kph. I thought that was the upper limit of 12s Li-Ion

Every kph over 60 is a new level of butt clench

going downhill I’ve hit a bit over 66kph. maybe my ass is just tight already but that kinda speed is almost comforting to me. it’s a beautiful feeling. just wish I had infinite money to build all the HV stuff this forum teases me with.

Personally wouldn’t describe it as beautiful with the potential of death at every heartbeat, but some peeps are wired differently :man_shrugging:

Damn, ya’ll are some crazy mofo’s. I have the acceleration on my tynee explorer dialed back to 40%. One day I’ll attempt this but the jerky acceleration of the meepo hurricane I had kind of scared me.
