After two years of shitty boards coming from Enertion, you were my Angel that dropped from the sky…
P.S- We were friends way before that boo boo…

who? It’s probably gotta be one of the other vendors here no? Who else pre-orders that many unities?
Also, holy hell $1 million annual revenue from focboxes and they went bankrupt? I don’t even think a moron can screw up that bad

That’s still 675,100 USD, that’s a lot of money to fuck up with…
On another note they are somehow still paying for the old forum…

@Bobby Same switched to a nano. I had a Vx1 nothing but problems.
I ordered 2 new Rx’s for the Vx1 direct wired one for the Unity the other one has the pins still. I still have it. It’s sitting collecting dust.
Even though the Nano is cheap looking it just works.
I am interested to see some data about that. Do you measured the abnormal behavior under load or you can see it also when spinning up your motors on the bench?
I’d like to see that data too. I’m building a motor Dyno and will data log the 3v and 5v bus.
I’m using 3 Hoyt ppms and two vx1. I’m a tad worried but not holding my breath. Rumors are only as strong as data , and screenshots. @momentiumboardsforever

Ya’ll let me know if there’s anything you’re looking for in particular.

I would love to read about the highs and lows of the tech they developed over the years. As someone who came into the eskate scene in 2017, I would also like to know a lot more about early Enertion and what the brand did for the DIY scene.
I think the more it’s about Enertion as an entity instead of Jason as a CEO would be a good thing although I know it is difficult to seperate those things for better or worse. That’s my 2c

Was it mental,. Female related, drugs , or alcohol that brought Enertion down. The raw stuff. We’re all human

Or you know, supplier engineering-, production- & QC over-promises and under-delivery, then Jason got backed into a corner and tried to defend himself like a rabid animal. Not saying that’s what happened, but it wouldn’t be the first.

I would be interested to hear how they ended up with so much market share in the esk8 world.
I came into the esk8 scene right as Enertion was failing to deliver parts (but still taking people’s money), but I didnt make it to the forums until late last year. Its crazy to think that if my decisions regarding which “premium” prebuilt I bought had gone a different way, I could be out $$$$ like so many others here. (I ended up getting a Metroboard, and its a solid choice.)
With how much people here still talk about Enertion (see: a 700-post thread about their last death-throws), it gives me the impression that they were a titan in the scene for a big chunk of our history. While this may not be true (I wasnt around so I cant really say), the fact that their name sparks so much conversation seems to indicate that they were a huge deal. I want to know why? What were they offering that no one else was? What roll did the builders forum play? How has the DIY market transitioned away, especially now that the last of their products are off shelves.

To put it simply this was the ‘New Coke’ incident of esk8, Enertion started in the market with some very strong and reliable ESCs and parts and supported the DIY community, then they pivoted to selling completes and sunk everything else into the unity. This goes the ride and Fall of Enertion.

It’s hard to disagree with most things being said in this thread, I just wish people weren’t enjoying it so much. It doesn’t speak well of us as a group.

No I’d rather buy it on Amazon with a warranty instead of marked up with no warranty from you as you tell me you’re helping me. People do what you’re doing all the time, difference is they know it’s shitty and keep their mouth shut instead of making up some bullshit about how they’re helping the community.
