You bet I did. Your board has hella Driver vibes(you know, the movie), especially those night shots. I basically fell in love instantly. Consider this an homage! :heart:

I guarantee you these wheels are heavier lol

Each wheel without a pulley is 1.5lbs

But yeah, he said hills so that makes sense, hills suck battery no matter the wheel. I’ve gotten over 35wh/mi riding my bergs on hills

Yeah they weigh a fuckton, its basically a big lump of aluminium. A cool looking one though.

Wow, I am flattered!

What bushings are you using ? I have orangatang nipples on mine because I didnt know riptide existed when I built it.

Idk really, I threw in what I had lying around as a placeholder for now. The bushings the surf rodz came with were way to mushy for me. Some riptides are planned, but not right now. This board ate a lot of money :laughing:

they go bald fast?

Not quite, the motor cables prevent the back wheels from touching the ground. But I could angle them forward, then it would qualify as a ultra board. But I quite like the hot rod look of the cables sticking upwards, I think I’ll keep it that way for now. :smile:

I’ve lost about 1.2mm of diameter on the rear wheels over 130 miles

That’s partly from doing burnouts on dirt and stuff

The fronts look pretty new still. Saw a pic on instagram of someone with them at like 2k miles or so though which was nuts

Is that because you can’t get the pulleys to work?

is because they only sent 4x one side of wheels to me, and there is no way to just buy 4x the other side

technically that John guy didn’t even reply me after i sent him the video proof that it doesn’t fit

if u ever need replacement wheel, i can send it to u for free, along with the 2 sets of pulleys

its only meant for either left or right side, but a wheel is a wheel if u don’t mind the rim rotation pattern

i didn’t pay for them, and i didn’t even know i was gonna receive a set in the first place.
that john guy PM and ask a few questions, then i send him a pic of all the boards that i have.
he asked for my address and that’s it. after 2months or so, i got 3 parcels containing, a set of wrong wheels, two sets of pulleys all in 3 different parcels :man_shrugging:t2: pulley didn’t fit, asked john, he said need some videos, i sent, never heard back.
