After stepping out of the hobby for nearly 5 years due to legality issues where I live, I’ve decided the dust on my beautiful dual drive street board wasn’t doing it justice. After replacing one group in the battery, I can once again risk my skin for the pleasure of adrenaline.
Before the “break”, off-road boards had always intrigued me, but now I’m more interested than ever, as I am really disliking cracks, bumps, and tiled bike paths on my PU wheels, so I want to rebuild my board to have pneumatic wheels. For that I assume I need a new deck, trucks, motor mounts, pulleys and belts. I just can’t seem to find vendors that are selling relatively inexpensive parts, or full kits to which I can just mount my motors to and slap a new deck on and go.
What shops can you guys recommend to buy off-road parts from? I live in Europe, but ordering from abroad isn’t a huge concern. I have dual Torqueboards 6355 190kv motors. Thanks!
Its a clunky website…i think they changed recently but to my opinion its even harder to find things…but its usable. I bought a 60t pulley there recently.
OP did mention “really disliking cracks, bumps, and tiled bike paths” so the suggestion of 125mm thanes might actually be enough to get by his needs without a full rebuild.
MBS would have all the stuff you need but like Raf said if you’re looking for more bumpy road comfort some bigger wheels like the MAD 125’s might be a nice compromise.
@Quiles thanks for the list! I’ll take a look at the options.
@rafaelinmissouri great suggestion actually! My main goal is a smoother road setup, so if I can achieve that with only new wheels and maybe a new pulley, I’d be quite satisfied. Did you notice a big difference compared to say 90mm wheels?
