TIL there’s a Tynee Explorer thread!
And I haven’t posted here yet! 
I got my Explorer in October 2022 (upgrade from Evolve GTR).
Consider this an 18-month Anthology.
DKP, Riptide bushings, BKB tires, 3D printed belt covers, Shreadlights.
I’ve ridden 1900-ish miles, and still ride it every day. It’s my daily commuter and grocery getter.
My enthusiasm contributed to (at least) three other people buying for themselves
One of them being my dad
There’s an imposter
I brag that my board can 180 inside a parking space, but is still rideable at 30mph

I’m using Riptide Krank bushings of multiples duros and shapes, covered in graphite.
If you're curious about my bushing setup
Coating all mating surfaces with graphite during assembly really helps to keep the bushings smooth and lubricated, without picking up dirt and grime like a wet lubricant would.
Note this setup is way looser then a lot of people run their boards, and is only really stable up to ~22mph. Faster takes a lot of concentration.

(yes, I get wheelbite on my shreadlights)
This board also taught me how to powerslide/powerdrift
It’s not bad on a track, either
Highly recommend BKB tires. Super grippy, predictable slide, and lasts a long time. They last me around 300~400 miles (down to the cords), which is significantly longer then any other tire I’ve tried.

Reliability
Over those 2000 miles, through normal riding and on separate occasions, I’ve broken:
- Two motors (Hall sensors)
- ESC v1.0 and ESC v2.0 (hence why I don’t know my exact mileage for the board)
- cracked a deck
- Uncountable consumables (tires and belts)
It’s basically become a board of Theseus. Every broken component has been quickly replaced by Tynee under warrantee. Couldn’t ask for better service, my experience has been great.
Unfortunately, the battery has degraded to the point to where I can only reliably get 12 miles on a charge(with how I ride), so I can’t really bring it on local SoCal group rides anymore. The few times I’ve tried to and hypermile, I had to get towed the last couple miles.
Given the cost of a battery replacement, unfortunately this is board relegated the role of grocery getter and getting around at track nights.
Still love it though
