Easy tiger, baesk8 remarks start riots around these parts :roll_eyes:

I don’t mean to come off brash or be really harsh on these guys. But it should be concerning to everyone. You can’t get interviewed for an article and say “as long as nothing catches on fire, and they catch on fire a lot” or “this board [that has zero DOT regulations] goes 70mph”. I understand they’re young guys. But don’t ramble about that and then wonder why cities crush you with regulation or abolishment. :man_shrugging:t2: Scooters are regulated to 15mph. If you want to fast track the rest of EV to joining that limitation, continue talking about speed being your priority.

Esk8 is in a weird space right now. Electric vehicles as a whole are. The messaging from the community could not be more important.
You’ve got a world full of nervous soccer moms and reactionary politicians ready to squash anything that makes people uncomfortable or puts a persons safety at risk. 70 mph skateboards, fires in the streets. It’s the wrong stuff to talk about on video unless you create some context about the space you’re using them in. Focus on the community, the safety equipment you encourage, local traffic laws etc.

I ride next to and chat with cops, drivers and I frequently answer questions to people who are curious. Keep public perception good and things will be fine. Annoy the public on the streets and they’ll bitch about it at town hall meetings and regulation will get created before you even know people are upset

It’s the same thing bustin did with their esk8 video, blasting at speed through crowded sidewalks. Don’t give the opponents of EV any more ammunition than they already have

And don’t think it’s not a priority. I come from a background in EMS and firefighting. Things that start fires or cause personal injury can have regulation changes overnight.

Please tell us how these ride. And also how they ride at high speed. And maybe how the ride is with one of these on the front and a TKP or RKP or channel on the rear. Or maybe a DKP up front with one of these on the back.

Or just how they ride :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I just had a brand new unity do the same thing. Had a nice pop but it still turned on and is operable. My days may be numbered

Honestly its a bad product and anyone who bought into it should feel bad at this point, I could’ve told anyone that the antispark fucking sucks, the 3v/5v rails have so much noise on them it can create signals on PWM making it inherently dangerous, and its fucking ENERTION so theres no warranty or chance of getting your money back when it eats dust. I just dont know why people bought into any enertion product and continue to buy unitys/unity antisparks at this point, its the definition of insanity.

Shit now I feel like I need to defend myself for no reason.

So the real question is why didn’t you personally warn me earlier :thinking:

Did you just personally jinx mine too?

At/near its pricepoint for a dual I would say 2 Maytech 6.6s (which don’t get me wrong they have flaws too) and a gamer43 antispark from flipsky. Otherwise the dual 4.12s from makerx are pretty solid for >35a builds obviously not the same caliber ESC but for a fill in or an extra they’re pretty solid. If you want bulletproof you buy trampa, but $$ and even their VESCs have their quirbles.

@kellag Its pretty fucking bad, no other VESC design has caused 3-4 lawsuits because of preventable software problems from launch.

@Venom121212 First batch people I can’t blame, you guys had no idea you were hopping into a flaming elevator. I apologize for not warning you and only you beforehand.
