I hadn’t thought of that correlation before. Nicely said.

maybe think twice about getting into e-scooters? looks like they are getting flak around the world… mass dumping, etc etc… like Lime and Bird. I can’t imagine electrically powered devices being shared without charging stations, probably only works when there’s wireless charging everywhere, which by then our brains would be fried with high level microwave activity. The nuances truly have to be sorted like bicycles have been for decades before it truly has a place in the real economy.

I’m obviously accurate so quoting myself because of my immense intellect and ability.
They had a good enough marketing and form factor that they were able to still have people buying their boards into 2019. That should tell you they did something right along those lines. Board wise no, they should not have lasted this long and thats from personal experience.
Does anyone know where their remaining stock of batteries went? I need one for an m1 board otherwise it’s an expensive traditional board! I’m based in the uk so guess I might need to pay international shipping…
Thanks

Welcome, Tim. I bumped your account from newbie so you can post and message freely.
As for Inboard batteries, I have seen none for sale and no chatter about them, sorry to say.
Theres a pattern here… venture backed Eboard start up pivoting to scooter and flaming out

No idea what happened to their remaining stock. I think it’s time to just make a larger top mounted battery pack for those InBoards, drill a hole on the cover, and connect an Anderson (?) to XT cable to it. Just needs to be 12s. you can have so much more range

Looks like InBoard’s remaining stock liquidation is selling on an online auction. not bad if you can get it for like $100, but don’t know shipping cost. It only shows a pickup address

Same I’m way to slow. Missed this message and it looks like they’ve all gone. Any idea who bought them? Really need one otherwise it’ll be a hack job but would prefer the real thing personally!
Tim. Looks like there’s another auction happening in a month. Set a reminder! https://svdisposition.hibid.com/catalog/209505/inboard--2/

Picked one up with a non working battery and cogging motor (wasn’t told about the cogging motor part tho) for $100 on Craigslist 2 days ago. I was able to nurse the battery back to life and the motor issue was just a loose sensor wire. For being a Pre-built its not half bad. It’s actually a pretty fun ride. When released in 2015 it was defiantly ahead of its time.

As far as prebuilts go, on paper, it still is ahead in a lot of ways.

While not bad… It’s got a 10s1p battery, and low powered hubs 
I wouldn’t really call that ahead of the game when other Chinese brands are pushing 10/12s2p 21700 packs
Even for it’s time it wasn’t alot of juice or oomph, inboard had to push a OTA (if I remember correctly) update to increase power to the motors because it wasn’t enough for some riders

The battery range is terrible but the hubs are better than any Chinese hub I have ever tried. The small features like having the remote turn on the board is still something a lot of boards these days don’t even have.

Interesting, I didn’t know that about the remote.
I hope you took photos of the motor when it was on the surgeons table 
I’d love to see what makes it different / better than typical wow/own/Meepo hubs

Agreed.
It has a lot of smart features that a lot of boards don’t have along with the quick swap battery and even built-in lights.
Inboard really messed up their situation.
