120 mm pneumies is interesting!
Theyâve been shipping for a few weeks now according to their Facebook and instagram. Any one received their board yet? No reviews yet anywhere
I put in an order too
Order number 11xx and they said to expect shipment in dec.
the ideal city commuters board for me.
At the moment Iâm using the Onsra challenger with 120mm cloudwheels
Road conditions arenât great here so while the clouds help Iâm hoping the Hunter boards will be a game changer.
Given how some boards were shipped out Over a month ago, reviews should be popping up soon.
I agree and was just having this conversation with @Ricardo the other day. Havent seen a single picture, video or anything about them yet they say they have shipped 50 units already. Something doesnt feel right about it
This exactly. I can understand that global logistics is delayed everywhere with most taking twice the amount of time. But according to instagram some boards have shipped over a month ago.
So Iâm guessing theyâre shipping by sea and not air?
Still 200 usd for shipping to where I am Iâd expect air
Yah thatâs when he visited the company and tried it out
I havenât seen one from customers that actually bought the board yet
333watt hours is 50 rides.
I was speaking to their customer service rep on instagram, apparently not a lot of people have received their boards yet some are still stuck in customs. Their largest batch just went out.
They said theyâll put me in touch with some of the people that have received their boards and see if they can share some feedback, pictures, vids whatever
I will update everyone here when that happens
I got the same info from @pedrosand - they were busy last week shipping boards out and Iâm expecting my board to ship out later this month.
I might actually pick it up from the factory while Iâm Portugal for Christmas time though
I ordered mine this last Friday and just sent them a message today asking when itâll ship⌠Iâve really like how responsive theyâve been with answering all my questions. Haha I need all terrain wheels and fenders(for commuting in nice clothes), and yeah theyâve said both are in the pipeline⌠Iâve wondered if cloudwheels would work, but Iâve read how they mentioned on their site where their aluminum wheels are actually helping to disapate the hub motors heatâŚ
Well I suppose we should have proper reviews in the cominâ weeks then
Same here. I plan on using this to commute within the city here in Taipei. Going to meetings, the gym and what not.
The small-ish battery shouldnât matter too much as my travel distance is quite short, plus I bought an extra one just in case.
Hopefully the suspension with the urethane wheels will be enough, otherwise the pneumatics or maybe a larger softer urethane wheel if they decide to make one down the road.
Just a general comment regarding shipping. I seen vendors with their crate stuck on the dock for 2 months⌠2 whole fucking months⌠Thats it got off the boat⌠but was sitting on the dock for 2 months!!! logistic suck hairy donkey balls right now
Itâs rough lol bad times for everyone
US domestic logistics is kinda rough right now
Ships lining up at the coast waiting to dock, crates waiting to be unloaded
Lack of dock workers and truck drivers.
China has its sporadic covid breakouts here and there. Shutting down logistics centers that affects global shipments as well. Quarantine periods when you cross provinces as well.
We have offices across the states, in China as well as Taiwan and it definitely affects business.
So can understand the 2x standard shipping times.
Not so bad in taiwan right now, no domestic cases of covid for quite a while. So no trouble for shipments coming in/going out
Donât know about Portugal and their outbound shipping conditions.
They are doing things slightly differently⌠probably trying to target different audiences, broaden the appeal.
I heard back from them and they said that the board would be assembled this month and I should expect it in December. I also asked how their suspension differs from the propel boardâs and they replie with this
" The big difference is that our suspension system is truly independent of the turning system, meaning that when you go over rocks, holes, and debris, the vertical movement of the suspension system doesnât affect the horizontal movement of your trucks (turning system). In the end, youâve got more stability no matter the speed or the roughness of the terrain. This doesnât happen in boards like the Propel Pro and S because their suspension system isnât isolated from the turning system. In the end, youâve got less stability, speed wobbles happen more often and youâve got less comfort and confidence riding. Endeavor boards have an independent suspension system but the way its designed, it adds a lot of weight to the board, since it requires the addition of an extra deck under the one you put your feet on. Our Suspension system is designed to be independent and keep your board light. We patented our suspension system and it works in the city and in the countryside."
I also asked if they checked out the parallel kingpin trucks of the Apex Predator board, and they said they did and then said the below:
âBut the main advantage of our system is that it makes the vertical movement of the wheel independent from the horizontal movement and that is very important at high speeds where the normal truck (kingpin or not) will try to steer at any minor bump in the road, thus reducing your stability and improving the probability of speed wobbles happening.â
Iâve now asked about an awd version and if they have some kind of traction control for their âwetâ mode or in general⌠Haha I loved how theyâve been willing to humor my questions and even willing to arrange a conference call for me with the dev team!
From what Iâve seen the andeavorâs steering mechanism is independent from the suspension mechanism
But thatâs cool to see they are responsive to users questions
Yeah, Iâll need to look into propelâs suspension more to tell. That the hunter board weighs half the weight of the endeavor, while having longer range, higher speed, and the same climbing ability, leads me to think they might be on to something. (though of course hunterâs numbers are the advertised numbers and weâll have to see what the real life numbers areâŚ) Haha Iâm also not saying I wonât end up also picking up a Propel in the long run! But Iâm trying to âjustâ get by with a WOWGO 2s pro and cloudwheels till the hunter comes inâŚ
Donât get me wrong, the Hunterboard is all I love (cool design, suspensions, silent, made âlocallyâ, etcâŚ)
Damn even the price is surprising for such a complex board.
But I donât like maketing bullshit
