Not sure how to contact you, but I’d like to discuss a custom battery build!
You are Unable to send PMs as a new account (Restricitions will automatically be lifted after some activity on the forum.) For now give @Acido some time to get back to you.
Here’s a tour of Chi Battery Systems out of Chicago. They’ve grown quite a lot in the last couple of years.
You’re kidding, right?
ChiBattery is a joke. They’ve managed to capitalize on a community with hype, marketing, bullshit, lazy workmanship, and the fact that someone who overpaid for a battery isn’t going to tear it open and look at what a trash job they did.
ChiBattery used to be on here, and in the battery builders club thread, where people had valid criticisms, Bara essentially told people to sit and spin.
Onewheel repair shops are tired of their bullshit. They lie to, and misinform customers, over and over.
They build lazy packs, and lie about how those packs are supposed to fit.
They jump on a trend, and push a shit product to market, having not tested it properly.
After years of having people message me, comment on my videos, and come to my shop asking for help with their garbage ChiBattery product, I can in good conscience say,
Fuck ChiBattery. Fuck their insistence that they make “the safest” anything. Fuck their marketing that promotes unsafe treatment of batteries. And fuck that video.
Chi is responsible for the intellectual damaging of the entire Onewheel community.
yet they still make shit batteries
Yeah, no.
Chi is not a trusted battery builder. They hardly ever were, but their work speaks for itself and it sucks. Even their cash cow of the OneWheel community is becoming pretty disillusioned with their pitiful quality and lackadaisical customer service.
Ik you just make content, and probably didn’t look into much, but the real story is how Chi has managed to be rise so meteorically and literally improve nothing about the products they ship out.
People speaking negatively about Chi battery are just plain wrong. I have 4 of their batteries and all are made extremely well. They innovate and support their customers incredibly.
This guy is Chi local and most likely sponsored. Take his vouch for Chi with a huge grain of salt.
Any trusted EU battery builder can send me a quote / PM for a 10S1P that would go inside a broken LOU board please?
I contacted several and no answers yet
He is absolutely sponsored.
Seems like all of Chicago is just a chi cult
He’s very busy atm with school, also he’s on holiday as we speak.
Besides that he builds excellent batteries, I have one made from p26a in my Onewheel XR and it is ace.
The stock one was nowhere near as well built.
Also Lee Rad in the UK
Lee is a great guy but shipping batteries from the UK isn’t technically possible. It’s been done but can turn up a whole heap of problems, more so after they left the European Union.
Good to know, will keep that in mind
Ye sing from chi. No I’m not sponsored. I’ve got more long distance rides and am faster on the track than practically anyone here. I rarely like my head into this forum for this exact reason. A company who is supporting countless riders extremely well gets bad mouthed like it’s the local religion to do so. It’s annoying.
Which is totally unrelated to what was discussed but ok, weird flex
Guess you don’t know us too well. This forum has spawned many well received and successful vendors. All which get full support from practically all sides. Many external Vendors are on board as well.
Have you seen our BOTY threads? 13 Vendors have contributed prices to the community event this year (also for multiple years now!), i highly doubt this would’ve happened if we had bad mouthed them as you describe it.
So don’t generalize our behavior towards a vendor that sells dangerous goods over to everything else.
