Airtrick Electric Skates + Sound Effects Test

Curious to know how your experience was with the mods?

Having kingpin trucks helped with steering, albeit only on the front. Unfortunately the stock fixed wheel brackets cause wheelbite with larger wheels, so I'm undecided whether to cut them off or just use smaller wheels. I'm used to 70mm skateboard wheels, so smaller ones aren't ideal on bumps... stock ones are 54mm but having kingpin trucks means I can fit 58-65mm ones. Wish these motors were stronger for larger hills and had a wheel lock function, plus front toe stopper too. The rear toe stopper is way too high off the ground, needs ground biting clearance closer to inline skates... Also, the extended front wheelbase from this mod made it impossible to fall forwards due to leverage, feels a bit like ski's. I'm thinking velcro straps might feel more stable too, compared with stretchy silicone ones.

@@esk8jaimes The original design was portable, so it was limited to small wheels, perhaps sacrificing some of the passability. Your model's wheelbase is longer, and it stands to reason that the ankle supports should be moved forward as well to keep the center of gravity right under the footboards, which would be more like skis. Not sure what that feels like, haha. The newest velcro straps are available on our website and have been improved after listening to a lot of user feedback.
