They have an indiegogo and inflated specs like many other prebuilts. Even people in the comments on Ronnie’s video were questioning why you’d pick this over like a Wowgo or something else. I also wonder why you would pick this.
What do we all think?
Again, it’s another “offroad / all terrain” board with double kingpin trucks. I don’t know how many of you have tried to ride DKP on real offroad, but it is quite challenging. Additionally, it sucked on the only real hill Ronnie did.
Ronnie got about 19 miles with a pretty non-stressful ride. 10s4p of 50e cells not really a great config either imo.
The deck kind of looks like a Psychotiller WCS, the wheels look like the LaCroix hubs, their previous boards look like TeamGees, trucks are the standard DKP, and the remote looks like the old Backfire remotes.
So I have done some research on these guys and this has been what I’ve found/my experience. There first buy-able model, one I picked up from a guy who used it for 3 miles and then shoved in their closet not to be used again, there Lux CS (campus series) didn’t last 25 miles before breaking down.
I called them trying to troubleshoot the problem turns out it’s a common occurrence for those board batteries to break so they discontinued it. I tried to ask some general questions about the parts of the board the CEO it didn’t seem to know what was in the board. Long story short I rebuilt the battery.
Here’s a vid I found about them. I suggest 2x speed
The board after I rebuilt the battery has been reliable and what I would consider it a good starting board for the price even with repairs. I do like their story but it’s all they seem to have that is unique.
