So Iāve gotten my board, and the suspension is setup quite stiff out of the box without an obvious way to adjust it? The site says itās possible,but no instructionsā¦ (not obvious like my propel endeavor)

Best just ride it for a bit and let it bed in. I was advised to run it in over three pack charges.

Bed in the suspension?
Does anyone know how to adjust the suspension?
why donāt you contact the manufacturer?
I did, but didnāt receive a response. I emailed them again last night, but was hoping someone else just knew too and if itās posted publicly itāll also help othersā¦

@pedrosand may be able to help.
Otherwise try contacting them via their Instagram account? They are normally very responsive.

I finally did through Facebook and they replied very quicklyā¦ Turns out the bolts in my a-arms were too tight causing it to feel stiffer and the Shocks have a large outer and a smaller inner spring and you can mix and match or change the springs outā¦

My board is now in TNTās Dartford depotā¦ canāt wait to ride it!
In the meantime, theyāve just released a nice little polished video on the making of the brand. For those of you interested, hereās the link:

Really like the Hunter board and the concept of it. Beautiful engineering and the aluminum looks sweet. Looks like a work of art. Recently ordered an Onsra Challenger with direct drive as I wanted something more nimble than the Evolve GT it replaced. Did a lot of scouring trying to find a board that was high quality, good range/top speed, nimble, carry-able/travel-able and light. Also had to be able to support decent sized wheels for bad road conditions. Not a lot of options popped up in that category that I was happy with and every option sacrificed something, so kind of āsettledā with the Onsra. Even though seems like a great board, really wanted something lighter as the Challenger is still a pretty big board. The Hunter board seems to check off all my desired criteria and with the suspension in such a compact size, pretty much a no brainer decision. Depending how well the suspension works, for my use case, also eliminates the need to add the bulk of large AT wheels.
Only thing holding me back at the moment from pulling the trigger is the hope they will add some way to charge the board without taking out the battery in some near future iteration. Process seems cumbersome and I would think the additional stress of detaching/reattaching cables every charge could affect wear life of the connectors eventually. Seems there should be someway to direct a charge port in a seamless way while still retaining ability to easily swap batteries.
Regardless, I commend them for their work. First new board Iāve come across in awhile that Iām actually really excited for. I hope they do well.

I finally had some time to test the Hunterboard and to hand it to other people to try it as well.
TL:DR
Itās a board that rides differently to anything else out there. Beautifully engineered and built to be a lightweight commuter board. Thereās room for improvement, but Hunter are already on it.
LONG VERSION
The way this board was designed and engineered means that it does not ride like a normal skateboard. You see, the wheels actually turn, and that might throw you off the board initially.
Itās a lot of fun to ride and carve, and I compare it to surfing on rails (I know, itās hard to imagine itā¦ hence why you need to try it!). I did not have time to set up the bushings correctly, so that might be why going at speed was a bit more sketchy that expected. Fun, but sketchy.
A couple of things that impressed me greatly weāre how silent the motors are and how much free rolling this thing does. That might go some way to save battery power, and since itās a small (although hot-swappable) 10s3p 333wh battery, it can only help.
The remote needs some work in my view. There isnāt a lanyard, and that isnāt even the worst issue. I havenāt figured out whether Iām doing something wrong, but the remote seems to want to pair up with the board every time I turn it on. Also, while it is a beautifully crafted piece of metal, itās not that ergonomic.
Bearing in mind that this is board number 50 of the 50 (first batch), this is a solid effort from a newcomer to the esk8 world. It does feel a bit o a prototype/work in progress and Iām sure Hunter will improve it. Iāve been told that a new truck design will come soon to make the ride more stable (much like a car, the wheels will tend to go back to the centre when not turning) and thereās also pneumies on the way.
Those improvements will only make this board an even better city board.
It is now my go to board for short distances, to go to the shops, etc.

Iām curious, has anyone in the U.S. or Canada ordered one of these after the first batch and actually received it? Iāve had one on order since early Decemberāwhen the web site said delivery in Januaryābut so far have just been getting an ever receding timeline of āreal soon nowā from them.

Letās change that to ājust swappableā
First you need to open the board, and secondly you turn it off by swapping the batt.
Nothing hot about it

Hot in as you can swapp it in less than half a minute.
But go ahead, suit yourself.
While weāre at it, itās actually a 10s3p 333wh battery. My mistake.

How you swap the battery from the skate ?
Is any tools needed ?
The bottom of the remote is the key (i.e. the pins that protrude from the remote fit the two screws that hold the battery in place)
