Is actually kind of impressive how much air you got off such a tiny jump. I’ve jumped all kinds of boards in my life; skate, snow, wake, sand, and jumping these eATSk8s is like bolting all of them together or making one out of concrete because of the weight. So, I feel like a foot of e-air is like a meter of regular air.

But more importantly, dat booty, though. :rofl:

That’s awesome man! I have yet to try a jump. Weather is finally nice enough for me to check this new place out.

2 paved pump tracks
3 dirt jump lines
Mountain bike trails
Bank walls

… Strictly no motor vehicles written on every page :grimacing:

Are you sure you want to test your luck on a place where “medical centre” and “bike park” are mentioned in the same title? :rofl:

Nice park though. Take some vids.

What made you choose the Fatboy vs e-Toxx gear drive?

1 Like

Cost and clarity I guess. I have the v1 of the drive and can see massive improvements which may make it a keeper instead of a breaker.

Plan is to get a helical up and running later in summer, maybe on a La Croix

I would like to repair the v1 for old times sake, grew fond of it in between being throw off

I have been contemplating a gear drive for my Trampa, however I am still undecided.
My only “problem” so far with the Trampa enclosed belt drive is the excessive drag.
I am between the e-Toxx and the Trampa gear drive.

I prefer the really low gearing of the Trampa (5.9:1 vs 5:1) for off road but the e-Toxx is a more tested design.
Also I have not settled on helical vs straight cut. I prefer the increased durability of the straight cut and the fact that there is no axial load, but on the other hand noise plays a big role in parks, where there are other people (and this is where belts shine).

I have not considered the Fatboy mainly because of how I saw Kugelis respond to constructive criticism over his antispark switch design.

If you can hold off, a 3rd gear drive player will be here soon :shushing_face:

I can definitely hold off. Are you talking about moon’s gear drive?
If so then the shortest available ratio will be 4:1 which is too tall for my application.

@magharees what BMS is that? I had 2 of those and vastly prefer them to the D140. Got a link?

Sure diddly-do

It’s the official store. in 3 days -16%. Good time to get a few?

I got the 16A discharge (for charge-only) separate port model. It claims 8A charge, I will probably charge @5-6A I guess.

This is the 13S model BTW!
