Backfire Mini Electric Skateboard Motor Replacement

[@davidfuxjager990]

Nice video! My board works fine but it's good that there is a video in case i have to change the motors some day

[@SeedVisual]

Thanks David. We'll make more maintenance videos as it comes up. I've swapped a motor and replaced an enclosure and battery on my G2T.

[@acekeianar]

had the same problem. sent me the wrong motor by accident and told them so.... it was corrected within days. Fantastic customer service. How's that mini treating you?

[@SeedVisual]

Definitely not as comfortable of a ride as the G2T, but such a fun board. Go check out my video about my 100 mile review on the Mini and let me know your thoughts!

i have a backfire mini on order. can u do a video on changing the battery to the travel friendly battery? i know u took it off in this clip, but u cut the gasket with scissors, how did u clip it back in then?

[@SeedVisual]

I didn't cut the gasket. I cut the cable from the motor before realizing that the gasket was removable. The battery replacement is actually quite simple. I just don't have a spare battery. Maybe in the future

[@eboardlifestyle]

Seed Visual ok, so if u cut the cable, howd u connect it back up?

[@SeedVisual]

I cut the motor cable and trashed it. It was replaced with a whole new motor which included the cable.

[@eboardlifestyle]

Seed Visual but im talkn about the cable from the battery connected to the esc.. that white part u snipped

[@SeedVisual]

I'm sorry. You are talking about the gasket that seals the two cables together. My apologies. Yeah, I just left that part without the seal. You can buy those at Walmart RadioShack, but I don't believe they are necessary.

[@AnisKadri]

How many miles did you have on the board before the motor started acting up?

[@SeedVisual]

It was just under 100 miles. Basically right as I started making my review in my previous video.

[@teaganschmock3066]

I have just over 300 on mine and I think I have one going out, take it with a grain of salt though bc im pretty hard on mine

[@eyndesdalable]

I have a G3 pluss with 2500km on it, motors still working, but 4 of the screws has snapped and is stuck so had to buy new motors to fasten the wheel.

[@iambutter25]

3:47 I’m still baffled as to why you managed to put the cable through that thing, it’s literally impossible

[@ToxiicSniperx1]

How often do we change huh motors

[@SeedVisual]

This was my first time. Hopefully it's not a common problem, but I can't say if it is or isn't simply from having to do it once.

[@yhisi1031]

[@SeedVisual]

Bummer. Reach out to Backfire. If your are under warranty, they will send you a new motor!
