Recently had an issue with my controller on my g2 wheel/trigger broke so glued back together and put magnets back in fingers crossed I got north and south correct. Now there is a wire that I think got disconnected from a small plastic piece of gold and black tape(circled in photo) That’s my question. What is the soldered wire go to/used for? Can this be fixed? submitted by /u/o1gnah [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Finally got these on, lives up to the hype

Bought these mad wheel 105’s after I sold my esk8 knowing that one day I’ll be riding again. After sitting on them for a while finally picked up a Tynee mini for my last mile pev. Definitely an upgrade over the stock wheels. Only drawback to these is that I may be overconfident going over rocky or “dirty” roads. Highly recommend the mad wheels 105’s. submitted by /u/Eyeseeyou01 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Belt snaps & punctures - what is it like?

Hi all. I'd like to ask a question to anyone who has had either a tyre blow or belt snap, at speed. I've been riding for a while now - over 3,000km on a few different boards and I am yet to have a belt snap or a tyre puncture. I am just wondering, for those who have experienced it, what does it feel like, to have either happen, when you're doing a fair amount of pace? How badly did you lose control, as a result or was it pretty minor? submitted by /u/rose_gold_glitter [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

DIY Safety Jacket

I often get self-conscious about the bike jacket that I use for eskate, so I tried a new approach - using the armor from the bulky bike jacket, I made an armored windbreaker that can be hidden with a big hoodie - I think it came out nicely! Steps to recreate: 1. Materials- Cheap bike jacket or shoulder/elbow/back pads, tight windbreaker 2. Steal the pads from the bike jacket and affix them to the windbreaker by any means necessary 3. Cover up with a hoodie 4. Enjoy walking through campus without getting stared at/being self conscious Hope this inspires someone! roo submitted by /u/Andr ..read more

Meepo Mini 2 - remote problem: releasing throttle wheel gives short acceleration

I have used my Meepo Mini 2 for a while (>2k km) and it was always accelerating and breaking reliably according to the remote wheel inputs. Lately I notice occasionally a short burst of throttle increase when I release the throttle wheel from full to nothing. I can definitely feel that the board speeds up for a fraction of a second before decelerating. The board also 'slips' during acceleration. When it just doesn't accelerate during full throttle for a brief moment. And then accelerates again. It's a bit sketchy because I'm relying on the board to follow the remote inputs and it makes the ..read more

Can I Pair an Old Remote to the Ownboard M1 (30") Electric Skateboard?

Has anyone been able to successfully pair the older model remote (without the OLED screen) to the Ownboard M1 (30") Electric Skateboard with Dual Belt Motor? I’m finding that the new remote with OLED dies too quickly. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated! If you do not know what I'm talking about, refer to the images. Update: OLED remote officially has died. Alternatively, does anyone know any other remotes that may work for this? submitted by /u/theMFTW [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello! Does anybody know how to convert a backfire zealot to a hammer? Is it just changing the wheels and kingpins?

Emad Electric Skateboard help

I have an 800w emad electric skateboard, unfortunately my dad got rid of the remote and the charger during a move. I’m wondering two things, is it worth tryna hunt down and find these items to buy? (Is anyone here selling them by chance?) Or Can I upgrade it in anyway? Whether it’s, a smaller battery, better remote, adding shocks, etc etc. I mean it’s pretty much a 50lb paper weight at the moment and an ancient relic as far as electric skateboards go…. submitted by /u/A1Mayh3m [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
