Hi there, I'm in the Bay Area also, giving serious consideration to buying the Metroboard or the Diablo. Any chance I can meet up with you for a quick demo ride? I can keep it short and sweet and pay you for your time. Thanks for making the video BTW.
@DredSk8 Күн бұрын
Hey bud, thanks for the follow I'm actually on my way out of the bay right now haha, and boards back with Metro, Evolve has solid customer/parts support but metro has a much higher attention to detail/reliability record as my two cents there. You might hit up the baesk8 group to see if anyone else has one around here.

Weight is always gonna be a problem if u want range because of the battery,if they go lightweight then people will complain about range,so until another power souce comes out which I dont see stop complaining because batteries are heavy,go hit the weights,id rather have range instead of light(small battery) weight,daniel is a wimpy reviewer also boards are made to ride NOT carry,toughen up guys
@DredSk8 20 күн бұрын
Y'all gotta carry the board in certain situations, a vast majority of riders use boards for commuting which involves a lot of hybrid public transit and riding, so its not an issue that can be solved by just "lift more bro' mentalities etc.

Fo sho, its a bit unfortunate that they announced the re-structuring right after I dropped the vid but is what it is, I stand by them still having some of the best quality builds and components, hopefully Metro pulls through.

That's not a fast charger. It's just "faster" than most wimpy chargers you get. A Molicel P42A pack's 1C charge rate is 4.2A. For a 4P pack (like the one one the Phoenix), you would need a 16A charger to hit that. A 10A charger is barely putting 2.5A into each group during nominal charging. That's just over .5C. That's zero stress on the battery pack. To put it into perspective, there's more stress on the pack when you're accelerating from a dead stop.
@DredSk8 2 ай бұрын
Fair point, I'll freely admit Im not super well versed on the EE side of things for that sounds right for moli's, and yeah this is more generally fast charging but it's hyper charging compared to most other production boards which usually top out around 8a at most.
@felreview 2 ай бұрын
ESK8 companies are always killing me with their "fast" chargers. None of the out of the box boards come with a charger that even hits the 1C rate of the cells from what I've seen. And everyone seems to always believe that slower is better, which is true. But that doesnt mean that faster is bad if you arent even hitting the 1C rating of the cell. Kudos to calling this out. Sometimes I feel like Im the only one who ever says anything about it.

nice! id love to scoop one if it wasnt for the top middle mounted esc and the high price tag.. for almost 3000 with the 153mm is just nuts. i bought a set of those and those tires were taller and less contact patch then there 155mm tires. they even admitted it was supposed to be the same design as the 155mm but just smaller, and it wasnt. they also acknowledged how sometimes molds come out different. they refused to send me a proper set. 3k for that setup is just too much. just my input & experience . as for the lights, i remember talking to them at the first esk8con , and they said they couldnt figure out the lights controlled by the remote . i wish there were more customers and or reviews on these boards to get a better idea of real world speed tests and longevity of the build. ✅
@DredSk8 2 ай бұрын
For real, quality is top, but there are just not enough of these put in the wild to get a baseline, what I really like about the metros in general is you open them up and nothing in there is proprietary so super easy to fix/update. But yeah its definitely a steep cost barrier for most riders

I wouldn't say that necessarily, you can definitely put bindings on stiff decks, SRB, Kaly and etox as just a few examples, though yeah the utility of bindings definitely leans more for MTB where you actually need them.

I did so with Jon (shown here at Redrocks) as a guide + Fabian on Monday, was amazing. So great I went for a second blast on Tue skating to/from the hotel. The park and path are taken straight out of a Roadrunner cartoon. Crazy hills and turns, you never know what's over a peak, around a bend. An actual Roadrunner greeted us when we started on Monday.

Too expensive, especially when you can get something like a B-one Titan (random example) for less than half the cost, and without many of the head/foot aches, yet most of the performance! The board looks cool, but it certainly doesn't look comfortable to ride for extended periods! I'd take the N3 over this all day long, and that's still a LOT less expensive. No thanks...
@DredSk8 5 ай бұрын
I'm generally inclined to agree on the performance to cost front, however if you're going to toss OEM white label brands like b-one in there then they definitely beat out most in QC. I would also say after just under 100 miles on it, the boards actually pretty comfortable, the footing is just wonky feeling tbh. Again the only really big gripe with the Velar is the stiff handling which unfortunately hasn't really improved 😑
