Flux Motion - A Range Test Adventure

[@ErnestRamos]

That ending.... No wonder it didn't get the expected range, you were a Terminator! 😆

[@Ale_Lab]

ahahah we all have been there. The walk of shame :-) Thank you for testing it out. I think it's a pretty good range test. Waiting for the Spintend ESC review. I have ti already but still didn't have time to try it.

[@LeeWright]

Yeah in working on that! Have been insanely busy lately

[@Ale_Lab]

@@LeeWright I can imagine. All yuor new products are hitting the market, so good if you get attention. Good luck!

[@davidlinscheid2321]

Yes, indeed, Lee, always more from the top half of the charge than the bottom. This looks like a great ride despite the rain, and the tunnel was amazing! An honest range test with varied riding speeds. Well done, Lee.

[@LeeWright]

David Linscheid thanks David! How are you bud?

[@davidlinscheid2321]

Doing well here, Lee. Thank you. Looks like you are doing well too.

[@LeeWright]

@@davidlinscheid2321 yeah bro, covid issues aside we are doing ok. Apex is going from strength to strength which is awesome

[@v0niq]

Amazing Video, very cool to watch you two having fun on these chilled rides!

[@LeeWright]

Young Niggler yeah bro! Was an awesome day with changeable weather

[@ducktaperules]

Always have fun on the chill rides. This was my longest ride in one day before. Definitely an adventure.

[@manski209]

Great video Lee, love the tunnel.

[@double_0_6ix]

Nice Vid Lee and Q like I said before looks like a real adventure, would love to hit that tunnel for sure.

[@LeeWright]

Yeah bro it was great! A full day of riding mate. I love days like that

[@double_0_6ix]

@@LeeWright definitely,j ust need the weather behind us more 😁

[@ducktaperules]

Riding the tunnel is always fun, i highly recommend it if your ever in the area.

[@double_0_6ix]

@@ducktaperules will def out it on my list once the board is up and running. Very curious about the inbuilt sound system

[@TheNightmaremask]

Ayyyyyyyye it's public now! I can finally drop a like and comment ;) I see you brought over the greatest comment ever in the description "great British beef" lmao. I also like the comment about Donkey Kong, I played it on the SNES and N64 back in the day! Loved that game! I know I already said this, but great video bro! A solid review of the range on the Flux board.

[@LeeWright]

Thanks bro! Yeah it was really weird! Looked like that mine level so much! Great British Beef mate 😅

[@TheNightmaremask]

@@LeeWright That quote will make me chuckle no matter what lol. But yeah, bro! I totally agree! Once you brought up DK I instantly was taken back to that level, it was friggen hard! Haha

[@TheEVside]

Great video mate, walk of shame at end funny :)

[@esk8Kyle]

Haha the ending was funny! Great riding and testing. When I do range tests, I start at the same spot everytime and set the cruise to 30km/h. Then Google map to check actual distance traveled

[@LeeWright]

I could do that, but then it doesnt mean anything for real world.

[@mcrecon1]

Lee....Q I want that Battery pack! That thing is amazing looking! Always love the new video drops and tech that you guys are working if on! Keep it up.

[@LeeWright]

Thank bro! Yeah we are working on loads of stuff all the time!

[@itsmedant]

You never want to loose the poke, May the poke be with you Lee and Q.

[@LeeWright]

😁😁😁😁✌

[@NoHateJustSkate1]

Tunnel looks like stop and go station FOR SURE. Looks like a lovely ride aside from the downpour.

[@MarkHybridZ]

Great video Lee man! Mad thing is it was spitting with rain when we first went haha. Really enjoyed this video man! 👊🏽🤙🏽

[@LeeWright]

Yeah weird eh? At least I know where the tunnels are in bath now!

[@MarkHybridZ]

@@LeeWright did you see the cattle grate where mikey nearly bodied himself? That was insane to see when you lot came back and showed me. He was soooooo lucky.

[@LeeWright]

@@MarkHybridZ yeah I was telling Q about it, was absolutely nuts

[@PAIN166]

Nice Video. Really nice and long bike path you've got there. 🙂 Would like to have seen how the other guy pulled you with his board at the end 😄

[@LeeWright]

Yeah I should have filmed it! Was super weird...we held hands 😄

[@eBoard3R]

*The infamous unlimited range hack* 😂 that tunnel is awesome, saw it on EVside channel recently I think

[@LeeWright]

Hahahah Benni!

[@Fredline57]

Considering what a Lonestar goes for (even a used one)...If I can get 35+ miles for my $2,725 I think I'll be very happy. I start getting range anxiety on my current boards around @14 miles. Great vid, I think I said "Thank God" at 9:46 the exact moment you did, lmao. I hear Seattle's weather is a lot like the UK's, so I feel your pain.

[@LeeWright]

Haha yeah the weather was quite changeable man, one min it was bone dry and sunny the next raining again! It's a great value for money I think dude

[@TimWoodVlog]

Damn nice range and performance for the price of the board! I think thats the first time I have seen Lee walking 😂

[@LeeWright]

😅😅😅😅

[@scottharvey9764]

But unfortunately not the 1st time we have seen those legs

[@LeeWright]

@@scottharvey9764 oi! What's wrong with my legs!? 😅

[@ratheonhudson3311]

Thank you for sharing your travels. It feels like The Long Way Round, but esk8 version

[@LeeWright]

😅

[@MadDonJuan]

Crazy ride Bro.thamks for sharing

[@williamrima]

Great and honest test ! And the tunnel is very funny with the music ahah and about the board under the rain you need mudguards or its ok with the water projection on your foot?

[@LeeWright]

Seemed to be ok? I never mind it anyways to be honest

[@williamrima]

@@LeeWright ahah ok mate! Thx a lot

[@strungareatza]

😂😂😂 hahaha walking and carrying your board 😂😂😂😂. Was in the same position last weekend. I let myself enjoy the scenary, before i knew it i was facing a 8km walk back. Legs from toes to buttox still sore

[@LeeWright]

Oh god 8km! Luckily Q towed me back the last 3k

[@mmmm-it5fh]

Looks like great fun 😀 I'm in Britain as well and are whether is abit rubbish especially now we are heading for winter! I have a direct drive longboard but would love a board with proper wheels on 😀 Really good video and did you say your mate is running 18s battery bloody hell that's high ha ha...🙃 Mark

[@LeeWright]

Hey bro! Yes Q is running 18S! I believe he has the first 18S board in the UK. Yeah the weather is crap here, that's why we all ride electric mountainboards mate

[@PeopleDoingStuff]

Seems cool but I am partial to the bindings and flex of the Trampa.

[@rusinsr]

Hmm, being able to feel the sag at half charge doesn't sound that fun. I bet a lot of people would prefer slightly less range but no sag by going with 30Qs instead. Also: UK inter-city cycle paths are the best! I wish more countries had that.

[@LeeWright]

DudeI wish we had more of them, unfortunately they are super rare. This is an old railway line that they converted into a cycle path! Wish there were more of them!

[@ajplant96]

The enclosure is incredibly spacious tbh, I've just got one for a DIY build and it'll easily fit 12s9p split into 3 3p segments with 21700 cells. 30q is great for a small pack but I'd go something bigger for something like this.

[@floriomastro1]

Realistically how many kilometers the Flux can travel???? Thanks

[@greensark2417]

What’s the best board for range for the money? My Zeus just got 33 miles on cloud wheels. Not bad for $1600 (with discount code). These Flux’ look great for the money.

[@mohamadislam1776]

Where can I buy ur scateboard what is it called

[@YeahThatPerson]

thats a cooool tunnel!!

[@LeeWright]

Hey! It’s the cat dude! I’ve been watching your eMTB vids!

[@jmlrc1]

Great video,have a question ,the new mbs trucks vrs the older mbs models with springs how do they feel? Is there a big difference as far as carving and handling.

[@LeeWright]

I really like the Matrix 2 bro

[@RaigekiFitness]

how long is the board?

[@박인철-u7u]

Theoretically if lee has achieved 36miles with 110+kg weight, and since I am 65kg+...that will give me 170% more efficiency in range...which will be 60miles. Calculating that to km...is 97km of range. Even if I get some losses from riding style of 10%...still will be over the range of 80km(exactly 87km)...I think most people will achieve that 80km range 😃.

[@naturecollision]

no inclines/hills on your path though?

[@LeeWright]

Na it’s almost arrow straight and flat

[@naturecollision]

@@LeeWright thx! wondering what's your opinion on the bioboards? ever tried one of them?

@@naturecollision I’ve never tried one bud, would love to!

[@LeeWright]

Haha he is like that yeah!

[@naturecollision]

Q? trust the plan :D lol sry could not resist :D

[@coreyb4679]

Thx for an awesome test. Totally agree on how you run your test and ride at your normal pace. I’m in the big boy club as well at 105K. In the market to upgrade from my Raptor 2 to a big wheel board like a lonestar or S2 until I saw this. Do you know the wait time to the US if I decided to order now? Thx

[@jamieniche]

It that 3v per cell while stationery? Hate to think what they might be sagging down to if you ride it at that charge.

[@LeeWright]

niche 123 the VESC won’t allow it to sag below end cutoff voltage. Meaning when you are that low the VESC hardly moves you

[@jamieniche]

@@LeeWright thanks for the reply that makes sense. Seems like a great board for the price.

[@koenwilliams8819]

Hey lee. I’m trying to get treads that are good for street riding, but can also do good when going off-road. Any recommendations? I know you used primo alphas for quite a while, do you think that’d work for my use case?

@@LeeWright okay, thanks man. So those can withstand a lot of road riding?

@@koenwilliams8819 absolutely, they are really good. pump them up to 60PSI for roads and down to 20 for the forests!

[@koenwilliams8819]

@@LeeWright okay, that sounds great! I’m psyched that they’re so versatile bc I was honestly quite eager to try out those shit slingers. I actually wasn’t going to get them bc I thought they were primarily an off-road tire. Thanks for the help as usual😁.

[@gearsdan]

Great video Lee! I'm thinking of getting this board. Whats the proper way to charge the board to keep battery life in good condition?

[@LeeWright]

Just dont leave it fully charged for long periods. If you are gonna use it within a week then you are all good

[@deejeh9494]

Stay between 90% and 10%. If not in use for more than a week then store at 60% and recharge at 20%. You'll extend the battery life noticeably this way. Don't overheat the battery or they'll degrade.

[@barrychow100]

How's the ESC Lee in it the Focbox is it any good?

[@LeeWright]

Yeah bro it's the focbox unity, it's good!

[@gearsdan]

just received my board 3 days ago. i havent even gone 50 miles yet, and my remote already disconnected from the board, throwing me off and injuring my wrist. sent frederic an email a few minutes ago to get answers. a bit disappointed that i spent $3k on a board only to get injured and have a defectiveboard 😤

[@LeeWright]

There were some defective receivers from Flipsky that got into all boards, lacroix, bio had some and so did Flux. I hope you feel better soon mate

[@Noah0510]

Hey, how are u? Has Frederic helped you? Cheers

[@ronaldchinn5967]

Lee, love the channel. Since you have discussed battery packs, range and stress tests of batteries in the past I thought you’d find this video about Tesla’s newest batteries of interest. EEVBLOG is all about electronics and many of his videos are done at the electronic engineering level, but not this one. I think you’ll want to try these batteries after watching this video (if you can find them ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/npOzfHhsZ8aAZrc Again , love the show! Ride on.... Ron
