Yep, 30Qs for the 216w version and 4WD is in the works :grin:

Yep! The Kickstarter version comes with the 159wh battery, but we should be able to set up the 216wh 30Q as an add-on.

How’s the low speed braking on these? A few previous dd’s don’t brake well at <3mph, including mine.

Say, can you be stopped on a slight slant and the brakes will hold you?

@Saturn_Corp Hmm, I might need to test that specifically but did not notice anything funky in my testing.

Here’s my favorite setup so far: Never Summer El Jefe + Abec 11 Flywheels 97mm:

Every time a China company says this, I always assume Samsung INR18650-15M unless told otherwise.

That’s like saying a “high-quality Ford car” without saying whether it’s a Focus or Mustang. Hint: don’t assume Mustang…

or 18650 22p, but they are ok in 4p configuration imo.

The 22p is a very crappy esk8 battery

My 5p from diyeboard had (barely) acceptable range and power but that’s only because there was 50 of them…

I can’t imagine how underwhelming a 2p will be 🤷

yeah in 2p its horrible. can’t compare to other cells so far because riding just 22p cells, but as i mentioned its totally acceptable for me.
Power and range all good so far imo. There will be better ones but even though weaker ones lol. Riding them 10s4p and I’m pretty happy so far, not that much sag, but you will be right. there is a reason why most girls and guys in here using 30q:grinning: but i have to find out for myself

I’m being told it’s Samsung 30Q, at least in the larger battery pack.

Also this is what I had to say on another thread someone made:

If it was 30Q, you think they’d advertise that though? The fact they don’t is extremely suspicious.

IKR. Person I asked doesn’t know what cells the smaller battery is using so he has to ask the engineers.

Totally reminds me of SoCal Legend saying the GTR has 30Qs when it doesn’t, don’t get me wrong, he get people together for our “hobby” and actually puts boards together as a job now. But social media “influencers” are often like booth workers at tech shows, they only know what their boss tells them and sometimes forget the lines. We look for these info because we build and learned for a few years, their usual audience and demographic probably wouldn’t know if the pack was made with mashed potatoes.

If I was them, and we didn’t use 30Q, I would strive for a situation where we said “Samsung” and then rumours spread that they were 30Q. That would be the most ideal situation.

So until I see evidence otherwise, that’s what these folks are doing, from my perspective. They are Samsung 15M cells until proven otherwise on the official spec sheet.

Yup. He told me 30Q but I posted on Instagram and FB as UNKNOWN. Need them to open it up and show me they are 30Q for me to post that.

@Brenternet LMFAO! I say that about eLofty! But with Revel and Landwheel I know it’s not Jerry. Still not going to bite on this one. Got a Mellow now, I like it enough for what it is.

Even tearing open a review unit isn’t enough, because they can just put better cells in the review units :smirk:

It actually has to say 30Q officially or it’s extremely suspect.

They could send John D. Youtuber a unit with 30Q in it and sell 15M or 22P in the production units. And never be lying, just letting folks assume their “Samsung” cells are 30Q.
