Heed the warnings, don't trust Torqueboards

Saw some guy yesterday on facebook, waiting 5 months. No parts. No answer. No refund.
I would find soneone else to buy from.

Edit. Gl on your order. :thinking:

I am sure that it’s just a bot making up places and items to hype the sale.

FOMO

The same style bot on the old Enertion site was so broken. I watched the same “dude” order 20 unities in a row.

does that kind of idiot shit actually work? is peer pressure from people you don’t know, who are not your peers (so i guess just fomo?), enough leverage to get people to buy garbage?

Works on some, not on others 🤷

I ordered something from their clearance sale section in December and it shipped within a couple days. But if it’s on clearance sale it would be pretty hard to believe they don’t have it in stock

I’ve had pretty good luck ordering from diyelectricskateboard lately.

  • Ordered pulleys 9/10/21, delivered 9/13
  • Ordered more pulleys 11/3, delivered 11/8
  • Ordered 90mm wheels 11/10, delivered 11/15
  • Ordered more pulleys 11/24, delivered 12/2
  • Ordered a TB63100 190kv 12/1, delivered 12/8

I emailed to have an order changed but received no response and they just shipped it as-is.

I also emailed about motor availability, and got a response several weeks later that they had an unlisted TB63100 available.

In those 3 months, the order numbers grew by 290, which if the order numbers are sequential, that means TB received 290 orders in ~3 months.

Did you receive an email notifying you that your order had shipped? Or did you just randomly receive your order?

Got like 3 emails each order.

Order confirmed, order shipped, and order delivered.

I thought so too at first, but a lot of the clearance items seem more like stuff they bought for R&D. Mostly unused, but missing bolts, connectors, etc (probably from disassembly).

I hope they don’t go under, but I also hope they can improve their customer service & response times.
