A while ago I made a few post with the idea to make a USB-C charger for our eBikes/eScooters/eSkates. This lovely community was good enough to financially support me with my idea and we have sucessfully developed the first version of the prototypes. Now I am looking for anybody else who wants to give USB-C charging a try.
Here is the initial post on Reddit I made about the project

Like before, I offer the charger without profit. The material cost is 50 USD and world-wide shipping is 20 USD. There are only a limited amount of prototypes left so I will send them out first come first served.
To achieve the maximum 240W of charging you will have to mount the charger PCB on a heatsink. A lot of users also mounted it on big metal surfaces that provided adequate cooling. I will provide the charger, and the thermal pad to put in between the charger and the heatsink, you just make the holes and screw it tight.
Here is a picture of the Charger mounted on a heatsink and charging at the 240W of power.
We already have a group of beta testers on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/USBchargingBetaTester/). If you want to you get one for yourself or just want to stay updated let me know and I will add you to the group.
Happy riding!
