Originally this video had 5 tips, but one of them only worked on some Meepo V3's, so I figured it was in the best interest of the audience to remove it. Hopefully the other 4 tips come in handy! Cheers guys! Don't forget to like the video if you enjoyed it!

Sage Moore keep making great content and you’ll have company’s looking to you 👍🏽

[@eliash4bib]

You’re channel should be way bigger! You helped me a lot!

[@th34st]

got mine used and it's pretty great, just very short riding time but fast charging makes up for it. I can't imagine going faster on this thing honestly. I'm a longboarder but used to my 60 inch gravity board and haven't ridden a small board in a while so going fast on this thing is scary compared to how stable my normal board is

[@sagesends]

check out my video on how to make the meepo carve like a boosted board, it makes it much more stable and confidence inspiring at high speeds

[@th34st]

@@sagesends definitely will check it out. I feel like with some tweaks this board can be pretty great. I definitely gotta upgrade the battery tho and before I buy Meepo's battery I'm looking into making my own battery pack with a bunch of lithium ion batteries in parallel. Only issue is making sure it fits in the enclosure and if it would even get me close the the extra range Meepo's battery extends it to. But yeah if I can get it carving nice the wheels are decent enough to use, board is a little more stiff than I like but still doesn't feel terrible, and if I can get the range to at least 20 miles vs the about 11 I get now I'd be happy

[@sagew7377]

As a fellow Sage who just got this board, thanks for the tips! I just ordered the 100mm wheels but I’m so glad I picked up this board - such a blast!

[@sagesends]

Hell yeah brother!

[@MrSakolphan]

Another great tip is add a Meepo replacement 10mm wheels makes the ride feel softer and faster

[@JimacGTti]

nice vid. another cheap option for lights is to use 20mm rubber lined stainless steel P clips (attatched to your truck nuts+bolts) to hold some 20mm LED torches/flashlights - works really well.

[@sagesends]

yah I'm looking into a more permanent solution rather than just throwing a bike light on there, looking for something bright

[@nickohhlie9468]

Thats what i did to my v3. Got 2 Olight l1R EOS 130 lumen (260 lumen in total) from amazon and got 1/2 Nylon P Clamps instead of the steel ones coz it can handle the vibrations, its flexy and durable.

[@vlogsyuichiro8821]

Just got my meepo V3. Thanks for sharing great video;)

[@donoman9183]

How does one change the battery? If I purchase another one to swap mid-ride for extra range?

[@sagesends]

It's super easy, just 6 nuts around the battery housing (can be taken off with skate tool) and then the battery just slides right out and unplugs with a standard connector. Probably takes 2 minutes total.

[@indigo_wolf3574]

The cruise control isn't meant for customers, it's what Meepo uses when testing & breaking in the product prior to shipping. That's why it's throttle position not speed based. When Meepo uses the cruise control, the boards are on a bench without the wheels touch the ground. Meepo warns about this because if you engage cruise control going up hill, the board will LAUNCH when the terrain flattens. The same will happen if you engage the Cruise Control on flat terrain and you hit a downhill.

[@sagesends]

The boards don't really have enough power to launch, so to say. The cruise control is super handy, and a little "cru" icon pops up on the screen, indicating cruise control. If it was soley for testing why would they add that icon? What proof do you have that what you say is true?

[@indigo_wolf3574]

@@sagesends I was relaying the message I got from Sandra at Meepo Customer service. She did not use the word "launch"... my hyperbole. However, the effect would be similar to moderate acceleration without knowing the direction setting and being braced for the wrong direction of travel. The "cru" indicator is their because they aren't going to build two separate remotes for CS & public. The Hurricane manual fails to document direction change & cruise control. The latter seems to be an intentional omission.

[@sagesends]

hmm trippy. cool info, I guess that makes sense. Regardless it's still handy if you know how to use it

[@WorldwideDarts]

I'll be getting the NLS Pro soon. It will be my first electric board 👍

[@catchyme135]

I love your stickers man

[@brandondemeris8706]

Ayyy more V3 content!! Thanks!

[@js2899]

Also if you turn the remote off and hold down on power and reverse at the same time, you can change from kilometers to mph

[@sagesends]

Not on the older remotes, sadly mine doesn't do that

Hey bro just a fyi the wood grain is actually differnt plys of the deck like your average board has 7 different pieces of wood right. It’s different colors of the different wood But the paint could be for water resistant not really sure though But great video bro

[@thebbqbodybuilder2114]

Like that sanding tip because that black edge will DEF get scuffed up nomatter how hard u try not too

[@nickohhlie9468]

exactly, specially the tail but you can prevent that if you put a flatland 3d bash guards which i have on my board.

[@austinrogers4255]

Love the videos man you’re pretty talented at making these (btw this is the first time I’ve ever commented on KZbin so I sincerely mean this)

[@sagesends]

Thank you man! Got more coming!

[@PeterPiccolo]

also i wanted to ask, would you recommend the 100mm wheels or keep the 95 or 90s that come with it stock? just want to get the most power and best range im a tall dude weight about 220 pounds over 6ft tall.... what should i do to help? im thinking throwing in the heavy bushings in the rear so i can lean to the rear to avoid speed wobbles.. also im loving that sanding think u did u reviel the true beauty of the board, that will be the first think i do with a block sander, im just typing i didnt listen but what grain sandpaper should i shoot for, is 600 or 800 too rough or should i look at like a 1500 or 2000 grit? lemme know what you used, i appreciate it.. also im thinking about throwing a surf skate front setup to the board to it will have a super tight turning radius and surf and weave down pathes... whachu think will that throw the board all out of whack? take care and have a great day, -peter joseph

[@sagesends]

Use a low grit, 150-220. anything above that will clog up the sandpaper and you won't get anywhere. Wood doesn't need a high grit to be smooth, not like metal or plastic. I would recommend heavy bushings on rear and yellow on front, but tighten them down a lot. Maybe even buy the 100A bushings that come on the NLS pro. I would definitely recommend buying the 100mm wheels as they make the board a lot more comfortable. I did just that, and will be making a video about it soon.

[@AllWeNeedIsUnity]

You purposely had the runtime end at 4:20 didn't you? Lol My favorite number

[@sagesends]

maybe ;)

[@marcomillette4012]

how many miles have u put so far on that board. looks like u will need to change those back wheel soon n how long do u think they will last until u change them ??? I just purchase mine over the weekend n I'm second guessing if I should get some new wheels now lol

[@bilfineful]

Solid tips dood. Thx. 😎👍got the same board .

[@michaeldooley8744]

sage, do a video about setting the remote's "wheel speed" setting for either 90mm or 100mm rubberz

[@sagesends]

I can't do that with my remote

[@PeterPiccolo]

quik question is there anyway to change the kph to miles per hour on the remote? also the v3 comes w the foam stuff under the griptape to eat some vibrations correct? i cannot wait for my v3 to come in! how long did u have to wait for your board to arrive?

[@sagesends]

I don't believe you can. At least kieran has not told us how. V3 does not come with foam, that is only NLS pro. Although the foam doesn't seem to make that much of a difference, most vibration is reduced through deck flex and wheel PU

[@joshua2133]

Sage Moore I’ve heard if you press both bottoms down on the remote you can switch to mph

[@js2899]

I had no idea about cruise control, do you know if this works on the mini 2?

[@sagesends]

should do

[@PeterPiccolo]

hey man just got my v3 finally, just wanted to ask you real quick how to turn off reverse to make the board to foward, its going in reverse now im just not used to such an info rich remote... also how do i activate cruise control? i kno its in a video but text for me stands out... plz help me out if ya got a second or two to reply tanks sage be safe brotha.. -peter

[@sagesends]

Double press the power button to switch from reverse to forward. To do cruise control, press the power button while holding the throttle, and it will hold that throttle position

[@ljli]

love your videos. short ..valuable..to the point. thanks! Also, you seem like a cool dude

[@ghangj]

yoooooooo that cruise control is amazing. Do you think it will work on the Meepo Mini V2 with that same controller?

[@sagesends]

very likely

[@normund8348]

Ive had cruise control this whole time...1 year...

[@MarkT3]

Those wheels are rough! Ordered my V3 on July 4th. What's with the camera zooming in and out ever so slightly?

[@sagesends]

Autofocus is the culprit for the zoom. Been board-sliding a lot, the wheels have gotten really torn up. With pro mode it seems to have enough power to break traction and I've been drifting it a little.

[@jasip1000]

F...... hell, does it make burn out when accelerating in pro mode 😊

[@jasip1000]

Mark I also ordered a V3 on the 4th of Juli, order number 24602 😊

[@MarkT3]

Jasip , my order is 24608. I got the ‘we’re building your board’ email.. I coulda swore when I ordered on the 4th, it said shipping in 5 days, now it says 10.

[@petr9156]

Hi Sage,Im oredered my V3 yesterday and I hope that it arriwed in my home soon 😂 Btw I must ask you about your wheels.They looks like been destroyed.What is your total travel distance on your Meepo v3 ?

[@sagesends]

I have 600 miles so far, but I've been abusing them heavily. I've been boardsliding, grinding wheels down heavily, riding on gravel, etc. Honestly they are holding up very very well considering the abuse.

[@petr9156]

Thx for quick response 😊 more v3 videos please.I love this channel 😍

[@jjsnarey]

Have you ever sanded your wheels on the edge, I did that on my original meepo and they still look new, even though I have hundreds of miles on my board. I'll try to look up of the video I found doing this.

[@rodogg34]

How do you know when you need new bearings?

[@sagesends]

They should last almost forever if you open them up and re-oil them every few months. Its only $13 for an entire set of bones red bearings, and that'll get you two replacements as you only need to replace the front bearings, the bearings in the motors get replaced with the PU.

[@watermcdaniel6188]

Will the MeepoBoard v2 fit 100mm wheels? If it’s not the standard size?

[@sagesends]

If the V2 was purchased after October 2018 then yes

[@jakobvoigt7929]

Nice Video!! And the Background Music is really nice, whats the name?

[@sagesends]

It's "Watching the clouds" by Lakey Inspired

[@JohnnieV]

Besides speed & battery range how would the v3 compare to a boosted ?

[@sagesends]

less flexy deck, similar carving ability. Similarly reliable (have 1800 miles on meepo now, still going strong). Since it has hub motors it's a more bumpy ride but that's an issue of hub motors vs belt drive and not meepo vs boosted

[@JohnnieV]

@@sagesends ok. So belt drive is smoother ride. I am learning. I have never rode a board. Seriously contemplating the v3 meepo and now this less smooth because of hub motors. I like the look of hub motors. Seems less to break without a belt??

[@sagesends]

Hub motors are more reliable, quieter, and easier to roll if you run out of battery. That's the trade off.

[@petr9156]

Hi Sage...I finally get my Meepo V3,but second day my controller say goodbye...Maybe battery or charging issue...Meepo not comunicate with me,so Im very angry...My question to you is: do you know,which controller is compatible with V3?Only screen and night remote,or any other?Thanks for answer =)

[@sagesends]

I'm not sure, I believe all controllers are compatible within meepo. Try pairing the controller to the board again. Look up how to pair meepo controller on youtube

[@petr9156]

@@sagesends Its not about pairing...I cant charge my controller.Probably battery is dead...so I need any controller because V3 is amazing board and I wanna ride =D

[@sagesends]

shit I'm very sorry your controller came dead. Try opening it up and seeing if any of the wires are loose. Maybe battery lead got shaken off during shipping? Sucks big that you have board and remote is holding you back

[@Jwe12]

So I sanded the paint off the side of my board and it ended up looking really good but there was a blue line still left on the wood grain that I couldn't get out so just wondering if that's post to be there or

[@sagesends]

Ahh idk, I think they use a variety of recycled wood to make the deck so it might be a price of wood painted blue. Try sanding a little more and I'd that doesn't fix it you might just have a blue accent
