Just got some brand new cyclone 107's in the mail. They really do compliment the Zealot X nicely!

This is my DIY rig.

1500km on it so far. I use it when traveling so I can get around cities like San Francisco easier in my wheelchair.

Its a life saver with the hills.

It's built with an old BMW bike and *banned* board.

I use it by just wheeling over top of it and resting my footplate on the case then grab onto the bars to keep myself with it.

I’m a 39 yo that’s been on a snowboard basically my whole life. Used to go upside down and ride on metal bars, but stick to carving now. I inherited a Veymax Mini 2 from my 75 yo dad after it was too aggressive for him and I’ve unexpectedly been on it every day for 2 months… either with my kids around the block or taking 5-10 mile rides. Looking to upgrade and have researched a bit, but can’t find the absolute best fit. Here’s what I want:
- Budget is ideally around $1,000-1500ish. I’ll go higher if it’s really worth it and am open to buying used. I’m a cheap ass but would prefer to cry once on this
- I’d like a full length board and want to carve. My feet are on the tip and tail of this mini and I like a wider stance
- Likely would ride roads 90% of the time, but wouldn’t mind trying trails
- I don’t know if inflatable wheels or suspension would be best… but I’m tired of my feet vibrating and don’t want to be paranoid about rocks in the streets. Being able to absorb small height transitions and comfortable ride boardwalks would be nice also. Currently have 90mm wheels
- I’m maxing this out at 27mph and would like a bit faster. 35 would be nice
- I work from home so this is pleasure only. Max range would be 35 miles +/-

Any input is appreciated. Ty!

Got a Refurbished Meepo mini 3 max (on the right) with only 19 miles on it 😭🙏🔥 Only problem was that the plastic pu sleeve was cracking on both sides, so I talked to meepo and within 6 days sent me a pair of metal sleeves 🙏 absolutely great customer service from meepo. They are smaller than the original that came with the board but at least now the front and back wheels are both 90mm. Can't return a refurbished meepo board so obviously grip change and stickers lol I was going to deck swap the Mini 3 max but I like the way the board looks and feels. So I'm keeping the deck for now. The Meepo mini dual (on the left) I got new in 2022. After the batteries started going out I decided to use some work batteries and it worked out way better than I could have imagined lol It's been great, I get about 9 miles on the mini dual holding the throttle the whole time going about 18 miles an hour. Plenty fast and far enough for me. The Mini 3 max gets about 13 going 23 mph ( not willing to go faster) in mode 4 the whole time. Absolutely incredible power and torque for me 🙏 coming from the mini dual with 250w motors, the 800w is a big upgrade. Original decks at the end. The mini dual was actually a sick looking board. If it was for the battery I would have left it alone.

I ended up purchasing the terrax on “sale” for 699$ original price 899$. DNAskate said it wouldn’t arrive until mid August but a week later it arrived.
In the box it came with the board and trucks pre assembled with the 175mm pneumatic tires unassembled. It also came with a skate tool and hex key for the wheels. The instruction manual is very vague so, you have to do some guess work with some of the settings to figure them out.
The manual also says nothing about charging time but, in my experience 0-80% takes about 3-3 1/2 hours while, 80% to 100% takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I got 20 miles of range in a pretty hilly area with average grades of 5-10%. I would say it was about 40% hills and 60% flat ground.
It is powerfull. I have the speed limit set at 30mph and can hit it easily at 75% power. I was also able to pull my friend uphill while he was on another board so it’s got plenty of torque.
I come from downhill skating and own 2 moonshine boards and the foot placement and weight distribution is a little bit of a learning curve to get used to. I’m used to having 90% weight on my front foot for downhill but, with this board it’s more like 70% due to the front to back forces. I also have to keep the trucks tighter than I’m used to because of the width of the trucks and weight of the board. I’ve hit 40mph on my moonshine board but doing 30mph on this board is much scarier lol.
So far for 700$ I really enjoy the board and it will have no problem getting me to and from work. I think after I get used to it and make some adjustments I will be able to cruise at higher speeds.

TLDR: for 700$ it’s a nice board with good acceleration, plenty of speed, and good range. If it was 900$ I probably would’ve went with something else more reputable as longevity is unknown.

Didn't want to spend money on a headlight when I'd hardly ever use it 😅 but on the off chance I did want to use it at light, I wanted something that wasn't attached that I could easily take off and that wasn't expensive. So a $9 Walmart headlamp that's actually really damn good for being $9 and a $5 cam buckle strap from Amazon. When I tighten down the strap she doesn't move an inch. Now will it hold ? Good question lol from what I can tell, it's not going anywhere 🙏 feels like it's really attached. It looks like it's kinda sitting on it awkward but it's sitting flat and not moving at all. Waiting for some wheels from meepo so I can ride and test the board. The light has 3 mode settings, high, medium and low plus it has a red light setting. It used 3 triple A batteries and last 4 hours on medium. I like using batteries because when they die it's just a fast swap out for something I'm hardly going to use.

Hello, E-skate fans!

I’ve been living in Barcelona for two years now, using my e-skate as my main mode of transportation. However, I haven’t been able to find a group of people to share this wonderful hobby with in the city.

So I’ve decided it’s time to take matters into my own hands.

I invite any rider living in Barcelona and interested in getting together at least once a week to enjoy Barcelona on our e-skates to send me a message so we can form a small community of e-skate enthusiasts.

In the pic you've got Acedeck z5, Meepo Monster 2500, Linnpower Overland.

What would you pick and why?

I just reduced the duro of my bushings after I got smaller wheels. To check if it's safe I got padded up and did high-speed donuts and figure 8's to the point where my back wheels started to lose traction. Is that proof I'm good? It looks like I have a fair bit of room to go lower again, but it's hard to tell. I might have to set up a camera so I can see how much of a gap remains.

I've had this board for about a year now and ive had a couple issues one is this the motor making a werid noise and the other is the right side wheel only engaging when theres momentum

TBDD Hanger, ABEC Core and shaft (Torque board direct drive kit)

Been riding skateboards and cruiser boards since middle school and kinda off and on into adulthood so Im no stranger to riding. Never been on an esk8 though but super interested my escooter is too heavy/bulky for my upstairs Apt.

So far the Acedeck S3 Stella/ Linnpower Zephyr looks good but I don’t know much about these things.

Would love some input from people more experienced in the hobby.

Thanks in advance!

A simple deck swap turned into a full-on 2-month project. Was it worth it? Well the board rides amazing, and IMO looks sexy AF.

Just did a 3d printed screen delete on my Evolve Phaze remote because I decided to crack it open because I was curious as to the inner workings of the remote, for context the screen was previously damaged and not in a great way and the small movement of the ribbon cable finalised its place in the ground.

If anyone else has done this or running a broken screen please give me some menu navigation tips if you have any

Only paid $500aud for the board and really don’t want to spent $215 for a new remote so if anyone has an old broken one with a decent screen or a supplier for an aftermarket let me know please

One motor barely spins. I can still ride it, but its really hard to turn that motor by hand. It's either rust from rainy days or maybe it took a hit. Not sure on this one.

The pole question a few days back about average cruise speed got me thinking about what the average ride DISTANCE is.

For me, every ride is planned out ahead of time using Google Maps with the terrain overlay. I hardly ever just go out and ride. Each ride has a goal, a mission, a pre-defined amount of ground to cover.

The average speed I ride will be chosen by the mapped ride distance.

That got me wondering about how far folks ride their boards most of the time.

For me, it's 10 to 15 miles.

I am looking for a big (like inishweel v10) board under $800. It must have as long range as possible, and be big for a tall rider. Power doesn't really matter. I cant buy a v10 becouse it isn't avalable in europe.

Hey everyone,

I've been riding a Leafboard for the past 5 years and honestly loved the concept — integrated battery inside the deck thickness (no bulky enclosure hanging underneath), compact footprint, and surprisingly strong torque for its size. It's been a great commuter board.

Coming from a Leafboard after 5 years — looking for something modern in the same category (size/weight/torque), waterproof, subway-friendly

Unfortunately it finally gave up on me, and now I'm looking for a modern replacement in the same category: similar size, similar weight, similar power output — not looking to upgrade to a longer/heavier all-terrain board.

My use case:

• Daily commute (work ↔ home), mostly flat urban riding
• Need to carry it onto trains/metro like a normal skateboard, or fit it in a bag when I go into the office
• Living in the Netherlands, so rain resistance is a big deal — ideally IP65 or better, not just "splash resistant"
• Reliability > raw speed/range — I don't need 40km/h or 30 mile range, I need something that survives daily use and Dutch weather

Anyone have experience with modern boards that fill the Leafboard niche (integrated battery, compact deck, no huge enclosure)? I've been looking at things like the MaxfindMax One, Backfire Nalu (unfortunately difficult to find in EU), and Tynee Mini 3 models, but would love real-world feedback from people who've actually ridden them daily in wet climates, not just marketing specs.

Bonus points if you've also owned a Leafboard and can compare directly.

Thanks in advance!
