How reliable is the MEEPO V3 BATTERY? Range test 1500 miles later!

[@AllWeNeedIsUnity]

I T-boned a car doin about 25mph a couple months ago. He made a u-turn literally right in front of me and there was no time at all to even think about hitting the brake... Fucked me up, still in PT and will need surgery soon. But the worst part is my deck was crushed. It was still under warranty tho so I had to lie to meepo and say that the deck cracked from going over a speed bump lol there was a lot of back and forth but long story short they eventually sent me a new deck. I Swapped out the decks and now I get to ride to PT... now if that's not a happy ending idk what is

[@sagesends]

Dude silver linings hahaha. You definitely deserved a new deck my man, that fkn sucks

[@4nlimited3dition_4n3d]

What the hell? You scammed Meepo for a new board, when they had nothing to do with the accident caused by the driver? How is that a good ending? And why not just take the insurance money and buy a new board like an honest human being...??

[@sagesends]

Usually bike paths, or like hills

[@markryanoklahoma]

Good info, thanks for doing that long ride for us! I just got one yesterday and saw that you can change the wheel speed. If I have the factory 90mm wheels should I leave that at 64?

[@BlyaCyka]

Yes

[@sagesends]

64 what? You can get 100mm wheels for smooth ride and higher speed, at cost of some torque. The number 64 is not familiar though

[@BlyaCyka]

@@sagesends I think you need the esc 6.0 and then hold both buttons and then you can change kph or mph and the wheel rotation so if you get bigger wheels you need to adjust the remote so it correctly says the speed

[@JackOLanternBob]

That's just a setting to calibrate the speedometer

[@brandondefusco8930]

When you have battery issues is the board toast or can you just replace them?

[@sagesends]

you can replace the battery surprisingly easily

[@christofkopera]

what's the best way to preserve your battery over time? Not charging to 100%? Not letting it deplete below 20%

[@sagesends]

probably, but usually the battery has safeguards to only let you charge it about 85%. when it says 100% the battery does technically have more capacity, so don't worry about charging it to 100, but yeah avoid going below 20% unless you have too. just

[@brandonsigmund2253]

Hey what about the clicking noise in the motors ?

[@supremeautomotive6749]

[@EquinoXReZ]

Just copped a meepo for college next fall. I think I’ll have a lot of fun with it. Have you taken any bad falls on it?

[@sagesends]

Yeah only while riding in the wet though. It's usually just surface scratches though you'd be hard pressed to actually hurt yourself badly

[@davidtrumbo4184]

How do you track the miles of your skateboard? Do you have a specific app that you use to track how many miles you’ve ridden?

[@sagesends]

the remote for the board has an odometer

[@chialor1945]

I don't have a meepo, but when I crank mine cruising over 20mph averaging. Mine dies at about 8-9 miles. Slow cruising I'd hit over 20 mile range. Top speed and hills kill any eboards though lol.

[@sagesends]

sounds about the same. 8-9 at 20mph, and hills kill

[@paulmcmillan847]

[@jacksouthey6694]

@@sagesends do you mean hills are really fun or they are bad for your e board

Is that the V3 ER or just the V3. I wouldnt expect the V3 to go over 10 miles, but with the bigger battery I would.

v3, but ridden very conservatively.

[@joshuaeaton5059]

I saw they advertised with ESC 6 you can change it to MPH but I have no idea to enter the setting menu to do so

[@sagesends]

I don't know if that's possible, it's the remote, not the esc that displays speed.

[@markryanoklahoma]

With the remote off you hold down both buttons and then you can change it.

[@AllWeNeedIsUnity]

@@markryanoklahoma I did that with my remote and it said "ok" after holding the buttons for a couple of seconds but when i turned the remote on it still read kph

[@markryanoklahoma]

If you held them down and didn’t see an option to change unit and wheel speed then you may not have the new esc. I’m very new to this so there could be something I’m missing but when I hold down the power button and the other one that’s what I see. Make sure your remote is off when you hold them down.

[@AllWeNeedIsUnity]

@@markryanoklahoma nope no option, just the letters "ok" which made me think that it did something but idk. Maybe it calibrated the speedometer like someone else had mentioned. I probably do have an older version esc cuz I got my board in the summer.

ive been worrying about the wheels because i have to ride through some gravel. how have your wheels held up so far? i saw some videos of how bad the motor wheels are and how they crack and get bad easily.

dude honestly... they're boring. All you can do it ride around the street and carve, maybe some light trails if you have AT tires. There are so many videos of people doing the same shit... range test, review, upgrades, blah blah blah, on every new esk8 that's that same as every other esk8 from the last 4 years. At least with MTB or Sur-Ron I can go ride new trails with new features, in new places, can go a reasonable distance, can ride novel terrain, rocks, jumps, do tricks, etc. Esk8 is great for commuting and last mile transport but they're just not that interesting to me anymore.

[@pewwbz9647]

I don't know if I should get this or mini 2.

Mini 2 is more portable, but has rougher ride due to small wheelbase and shorter, stiffer deck. So if portability is priority, mini two, if comfort and cruising is priority, v3. They both have the exact same hardware, just different decks.
