This right here^^ if you’re getting speed wobbles get 93a riptides krank it feels just like my propel!(less acceleration obv)but very stable! ❤

Yeah, as long as the connector is the same and the controller is tuned for the same voltage, it should fit in any light bee x. Chi does have a 70aH, the touring

Hahah yeah! It ended up being that the hall sensor was bad, and the first replacement hall sensor was also bad! Horrible luck. I tried a third hall sensor and that fixed it. Sold it to the owner of a car dealership so he could get around his property, lol

I was stoked with it. That battery was great. No longer have the bike but glad I was able to make this video

I guess I was only thinking budget/entry level boards, that a beginner rider would buy. Generally, when I see people with a pneumatic tire board, they're enthusiasts. This video is meant for people who have never eskated, and would probably only want to spend a few hundred bucks. But yes, you make a great point, large pneumatic tires would fix many of these issues.

@@sagesends ya or just large rubber tires, dont have to be pneumatic. and ya they are more like a grand minimum thats right. but I would argue they are much safer and easier to ride then urethane small wheel boards, so people should def consider them. I haven't found one yet that actually tolerates riding during the winter in Denmark where I live tho. the ranger x3 from backfire is water resistant but I think the salt they spread on the roads here fs up the bearings, cuz thats what I experienced.

Aye, all the more reason to go e-bike. I'm an esk8 kid at heart, but the practical side of me knows you can do a DIY ebike conversion or even buy a prebuilt ebike with fenders for under a grand that will be 2x as water resistant, way more comfortable for long distances, and able to haul stuff on a rack. This video was basically me saying "if you want a good PEV for commuting, an esk8 probably isnt it" However I think it came across more as "esk8's suck" which is totally not the case, I had hella fun on mine (which you can tell by how well worn it is, haha). Thanks for watching either way! Don't take my videos tooo seriously, lol

@@sagesends ya for sure. no, I fucked with the vid and its crazy how long the merpo lasted I gotta say. was just curious about your opinion on big wheel esk8s.

This is the light bee

Heal up brother!

my pleasure sky god

My guess is the fastest section in the middle we hit about 30 or maybe 35? Honestly not that fast relative to real motorsports, but feels quite quick on such a skinny trail

@@sagesends that’s fast! Thanks for responding

a rare view lol

Great point, I definitely should have touched on AT boards more. I was considering a meepo hurricane as well. I think I should have included a disclaimer that my thoughts in this video really only apply to entry level boards. Thanks for watching anyhow! Cheers

freeride isnt ... dead?

Notha banga

thanks g, this one turned out alright

Dude I wish, that install of chrome got wiped before I made an account

Oh yeah with big wheels like that you'll be fine. It's just the normal PU skateboard wheels that are pretty exhausting on most streets

I was torn between the Endurance 2.0 and Lorentz Major. I went with the Major and so far I'm more than pleased with my decision. Still might get the Endurance as a base for learning DIY before going full DIY

dude okay I uploaded like 3 weeks ago it's been pretty consistent 😂

Yeah I think a belt drive with big wheels or maybe even the off-road wheels would solve a lot of the issues! Cheers and keep ripping!

@@sagesends I know many people like AT wheels, not for me, longboarders been ridin rough roads on 80-85mm wheels for years. AT is safer at much higher speeds though, for speed demons and older folks.

My gear drive Lorentz Major with 200mm pneumatics is an absolute tank.

Yeah I was lucky to have a lot of bike lanes and bike paths in santa cruz that it was great on. However I was always on edge around cars. And yeah 22 is plenty on these things. I've gone 30 a fair few times and it is always a little terrifying. Only did it to get the adrenaline going, it was never necessary lol. I just did one of those mid drive ebay conversion kits and god damn it's such a better method of transport... faster, wayyy longer range, way more practical, more comfortable, and similar price. I paid under $700 for the whole conversion.

Need to log a few more miles on it! Only around 500 down!

I believe the EUC is the safest of all electric devices, especially with the huge tires and suspension. It eats all the potholes, and there's no need to worry about getting over the handlebar since there isn't one, and you have both hands free. A single charge can always provide at least 50 miles of range. It took me a long time to convince myself to buy one. Now after almost two years and no need for even the smallest maintenance it's really my favorite.

Yeah! I kept it cause it just kept working. My car and sur ron kept need maintenance and the v3 just kept going. I fixed the hubs twice, so that did happen. Yeah EUC is hands down the best portable form of transportation. I would argue that if size isnt a limit for a PEV, ebikes are the most capable, especially the ridiculous range you can get from pedal assist ones. I have a tongshen mid drive ebike I just converted and it's amazing. 45+ mile range and itll do 30mph, and the whole conversion only cost me like $650 (I already had the bike). You might not be able to go over the bars on a EUC, but if they malfunction somehow, or lose power, or you go past the torque limit... at 30... that could be a life changing injury. Very low chance but if it did happen... would just be soo bad. I like the bike cause I know that even if the motor bricks while I'm riding itll keep rolling and I can keep pedalling. Thank you for watching and providing your experience! Cheers!

The hardest part is definitely having to trust EUC, but thankfully everything just works. I love things that work flawlessly. When I used skateboards, the remote would occasionally disconnect even when I was riding. This happened with literally everything else I tried. I was afraid of bikes because my belt fell off on a slope and I got stuck. EUC's job is to literally keep you alive and level no matter what. If anything would stop you, even when using an e-bike, EUC would magically speed up the wheel to get you through the obstacle. Anyways please continue recording more videos thanks

Yeah it was denfinitely a tossup for me, I was really thinking of getting a kingsong or begode. Went with the bike purely for the cargo hauling capabilities. I'm using it as a complete car replacement at the moment. More videos to come!

The “best”? For everyone? Ok dude.

Yes. That being said, bypassing the stock battery puts a lot of strain on the battery, and I wouldn't run it like that for longer than a few months, until you can save for a proper battery designed for higher amperage

until I can afford a plane airtime is key

hell yeahhh thats what we like to hear

y0oo aptos anytime for the boys?

the greatest compliment we could ever receive

what is youale?

yeah it fucken sucked

World & San - Shine

Few things are waterproof, but it's water resistant enough that I'm not to worried about a quick wash.

thanks g!

What is rocco

@@sagesends The dog you love on Foresty Forest.

Oh lol. Well how am I supposed to get rid of her? She's not my dog

@@sagesends Tell Foresty you ate sick of seeing the dog.

Why would I do that?

ride more!! and you too can make it look easy

Yeah, the big wheels are the main reason this board is easy to recommend, without them it would not be a good value. But yeah, on smooth roads 90mm is fine but rarely are roads smooth, lol.

finessed quinns hero 11 for the functioning noise reduction lol

real

thanks dood! nico provided an excellent thumbnail 😂

truly breh shit is gold

Chi Gladiator

Woah! Yeah I left my bike on during a class once and came back an hour and a half later and the headlight/idle circuitry had used about 2%. So for this seven hour ride, assuming half of that loss was the headlight, then yeah! I'd probably go another 7 or 8 miles lol. Wild to think about.

Just do one side at a time, leave the other side completely intact untill the first is completely soldered and heat shrink wrapped. That way there's no possibility of them shorting on each other. To solder heavy gauge wire you will need a nice soldering iron or a butte connector. I already installed my qs8 so I can't make a video on it, but just look up how to solder heavy gauge wire and be careful! You can always send your battery back to the manufacturer to get re-wired if need be

blacktail soon 👀👀
