Heyhey
I hope this is the proper section to ask for some product recommendations.
Ive used a Meepo Hurricane for several years and now want to dip my toes into something more, but I am overwhelmed with the product selection. The range of China-OEMs is too big for me to evaluate all and see threw reviews for the quality of them - as it seems they are all kinda bad for what you actually pay (same with Meepo), and the custom board makers here in Europe like BioBoard dont seem to have modern specifications but charge high prices.
What I did like was Acedecks Horizon concept with suspension tracks. Paired with a flex-board/flex-battery it seems like the best in shock absorbing and dampening vibrations, right? I would prefer this for my old bones and joints 
But I would also love to have something DIY open that can be modded later on too - so I was thinking to maybe ask in here what recommendations you have?
A small list of specs I think I like (Im not 100% sure) :
- Rider: 90kg, 180cm/6ft, expirienced enough to go full throttle with every Meepo Board Ive owned
- Terrain: 50%+ streets, but I want it to work exp. on bike trails in the woods with no hard surface
- Tabless Cell Battery Pack
- Flex-Batterypack
- IP68 → Non Flex Pack?
- Battery: 1kWh in Hurricane really doesnt last long. I want 2kWh, but I think I prefer 1 internal + 1 external, so I can have a lighter board too. But Im open minded for every solution
- Flex-Board
- Gearbox: I dont care for the noise. I dont want belts, period! Wasted too much money on them
- Gearbox Ratio: ?
- Motors: Maybe 4WD (I never owned one) → I dont ride in deep grass but sometimes on a sandy patch the 2WD Hurricane struggles a lot, maybe even requiring to get off the board
- → I used regular 7” (?) mixed-terrain wheels, so maybe I want bigger wheels?
- Carving experience: No stiff high speed board thats meant to go straight. Im fine with REAL 50km/h and dont need to chase for some 70-100km/h setup
- Compatible with other remotes → no proprietory stuff
- Hidden Air Tag compartment ^^
- ~2000€
Until than I will try to find other boards that offer some suspension, but so far only found the Linnpower Overland and am not sure if I like their concept.
Thanks ahead!
