Simple question, how much are you willing to pay to get rid of that ugly loopkey (and never, ever, have to drill a hole in your enclosure ever again)?

Poll option is supposed to say “price of trampa vescs”

You’re missing $40-$50

But it would have to have PTS and auto off for me to replace the enhanced Flipsky you also worked on.

loopkeys and antispark switches are pretty different in function, for a loopkey $15, antispark switch $50
Personally I dislike the amount of possible failure points on antispark switches and their ability to cause harm

Of course. It is even better than that design.

I use the 3Dservisas antispark for this, I am going to make auto turn off by programming my remote that way.

My designs draw way less power (120uA) and already have both roll to start and auto turn off working perfectly.
I have been told that the fatboy antisparks have been known to burn power.

Yeah, they do take some power. Where can I find your antisparks?:thinking:

Flipsky has a less advanced design that draws about a third of what the fatboy antisparks pull, they were supposed to use a revised hardware version that draws one tenth of what it does now, but I caught the problem too late into the production cycle.

I have a new one coming out in March with a different vendor that draws literally nothing.

I mean you can use both and save yourself the hassle of pulling it out and plugging it in every time.

mhm I understand what you mean but for me its not a big deal i rather feel save. How you you plan the design?

More things to fail, more stuff for you to repair :sweat_smile::joy:

You should be all over that idea adding more electronics

Idk man, not even mike manner was able to make it blow up :man_shrugging:

For an MTB at least, I don’t mind the loopkey at all, in the contrary I like the peace of mind that it cuts power completely if the board is sitting idle.

So I wouldn’t pay for it :sweat_smile:

It’s not only about blowing up the switch.
I mean I see a market for clean street boards without question.
Buuut, I want to have access to my power connectors on my mtb.
Either loopkey or even better xt90s connector I can fully disconnect in case of any failure.
