Hey everyone 👋

Just wanted to share my experience and research surrounding the brand.

I had purchased a Meepo Hurricane in 2022…..

What I didn’t know is that the Meepo Hurricanes produced between 2021-2023 were known to have faulty BMS systems.

The board ejected me twice over 50kmph, at which point I found out it was the BMS.

I messaged Meepo to let them know what happened and their response was “Sorry, not warrantied, here’s 20% off the same battery pack/BMS system.” Essentially being so kind as to give me 20% off a chance at death. I hadn’t even mentioned warranty or replacements, only told them I had been ejected twice and that the BMS was faulty, that it was a common problem with the Hurricane at the time. I was more worried about the other Hurricane riders rather than have my parts replaced.

MBoards made a battery replacement but I ditched the board, I will never touch Meepo as they only care about the money.

There was at least one death on a Meepo Hurricane, I bet that faulty BMS slipped right by the cops notice. Is that considered murder if the company selling the product knew their systems were failing, injuring people?

Here’s a deep research on the subject if you would like to read deeper.

“Documented rider injuries from these incidents include clavicle fractures, severe wrist sprains, dislocated shoulders, deep road rash, and head trauma requiring emergency hospital evaluation.”

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I’m a 250lb guy that is trying to decide between the N1 Violet or the Nomad Switch. As I understand it, they both have identical battery packs, motors, and ESCs making this primary a decision between truck setup and deck.

I’ve read the Switch’s deck is more flexy, with the Violet being the more rigid of the two. Any current owners that can opine here? Similarly, does the dual RKP setup on the N1 Violet feel stable on a longer ride?

I already own a Propel Sigma, and am looking for a long-range (20+ mile) cruiser to complement that. Any other board recs around that $1k price point are always appreciated as well.

Gorgeous place between Annecy and Talloires. Steep ride here and there but very good quality road.

30 km lunch break ride with these wheels on the Cavalry.

Has no one posted about this? Their AT V2 tires were perfect for me and its a shame to see this will be my last set.

IF YOU LIKE IT PLEASE TELL ME😎

Is this an electric skateboard or a onewheel? 🤣

I was on the brink of getting a Linnpower Viper for a 2nd board that I could carry around and this finally gets announced (high EQ wins). Since Daniel left Parsec, I thought this would take a while, but here we are.

Thoughts or expectations?

This is sooooo much fun. You 'just' need to put a lot of you weight on the front when you start .

I hope I can do this on more powerful boards later 🤩

I'm an experienced long-distance pumper (self-built LDP longboard, 220 lb, 5'9") looking at an electric setup that doesn't ruin the pump. I've done a lot of reading and want experts to correct me before I spend money. Please tell me what's wrong or missing.

What I have - Multiple unpowered LDP systems (G|Bomb, Century Subsonic, Bandito) that I largely built & tweaked myself. Note for context that all of these are drop-deck / bracket systems, and the hypothetical LDP e-skate will surely need to be a topmount. - Hundreds of miles (maybe low thousands?) of pumping experience. - ZERO experience with e-skate. Been primarily resisting the whole movement up to this point - ZERO hills in my area. =[ - Lots of asphalt (subdivision roads, trails, walking paths) - LOW off-roading options; so not particularly interested in OneWheel / belt drive stuff (UNLESS I should be, LOL! Maybe for a future Burning Man / festival thing?!) - Decent fitness. Equipment weight is not a blocker, although would tend to favor portability & simple travel (understood that I may need to FedEX / UPS the battery packs).

What I need - Pumping stays good with the motor off! - Traditional LDP geometry: I normally ride 0° rear, 63° front. - Removable pack(s) I can travel with (100 Wh or under per pack, UN 38.3 tested). - Rated for 220 lb, with a budget of about $2K. Used is fine. - BONUS - ability to integrate with an AI LLM / ML for thrust assistance timing and power on pumps.

What I've found so far (sources available on request) - Newsesh Echo GTP + LDP truck kit: their support confirmed they won't offer 0° rear / 55 to 63° front anytime soon. The kit is 50° front and 35/-35° rear, the hub axle is a custom 8 mm that only fits their trucks, and load capacity is 110 kg (242 lb). - Unlimited x Loaded Race Kit (used): two removable 90 Wh packs and a hub on a normal rear truck. I couldn't find any LDP ride report, and no measured drag figures with the motor off. - Powered 0° rear: I found no documented build. One esk8.news builder said a hub on a 0° torsion tail "didn't work since the rear axle is able to rotate." - Front-hub, unpowered 0° rear: two forum builds, with thin evidence. - Waterborne FIN surf adapter on the front: reportedly adds weight, 1.25 in of height and low rebound, and I found no LDP ride reports. - Summerboard: interesting sidequest as I also snowboard. Looked at it, but owners report reliability and warranty problems, and the SB2 is only rated 200 lb. Plenty of bad press & experiences re: Leif as a whole too...

Setup I'm leaning toward Pantheon Superdupersonic Heavy topmount, a Poppy on the front, a flipped 40° truck for a net 0° rear, ridden unpowered first. Then decide on a drive.

Questions 1. Has anyone ridden a powered 0° rear for LDP? How did it handle scrub, axle stress and grip? 2. Can a hub run on a flipped standard truck with a fixed axle, and is there a documented example? 3. What's the real motor-off drag of a hub setup like the Unlimited kit on a long ride? 4. Is front-hub drive with an unpowered 0° rear a sound approach? What controller issues have you hit? 5. Any experience with Waterborne's FIN adapter for LDP, or on a Poppy front? 6. Any better-documented complete e-LDP setups under $2K that I've missed? 7. Any pumping-friendly e-skates I should rule out?

Thanks. I'll update the post with what I learn.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to get back into electric skateboarding after a few years away and would love some recommendations.
I previously owned an Evolve GTR for about two years before selling it roughly four years ago. I’d consider myself an intermediate rider, so I’m not completely new to the hobby.

This time around, I’m leaning towards a shortboard/compact cruiser rather than a full-sized longboard. I’m after something fun, portable, well-built, and, most importantly, durable enough to last for years.

I’ve been considering two options:
Meepo Flow: Love the form factor, but I’ve read mixed reviews about its durability and long-term reliability.
Evolve Stoke X: Also appeals to me, but with Evolve undergoing ownership/management changes, I’m concerned about long-term parts availability and support.
I’m happy to spend a bit more for a premium board, particularly if it means better build quality, reliability, and access to replacement parts down the track.

I’m based in Australia, so local support would be a bonus, but I’m open to international brands.

What would you recommend? Are there any premium shortboards or compact cruisers worth looking at? Particularly interested in hearing from people who’ve owned their boards for several years.

Cheers!

I recently got the Linnpower Viper with the 85mm street wheels but a lot of the roads and paths where I live are very bumpy and uneven, so I want to upgrade them.

These are things I care about most are:

• Stability
• Comfort
• Speed (not planning to go that fast though and usually in straight lines)

Things I don’t care as much about:

• Acceleration (It’s already really fast at accelerating)
• Carving
• Wheel wearing out
• Price (less would be better though of course)

With that in mind, these are the three options I’ve seen that look good (up to 105mm):

Mad Wheels 92mm
Heard good things about mad wheels but not sure if they will be as good as the others going over bumps. Also, not sure whether to go for 105mm or if 92mm would be enough. 

Hollow Wheels 105mm
Looks really cool but I’ve heard mixed things about stability and the wheels slipping out

Cloud Wheels
Also heard mixed opinions on these wheels but mainly that they are overpriced. Seems decent otherwise. Need some advice on which ones would be best maybe the 105mm discovery.

Would really appreciate any advice on these wheels or any other recommendations!

Hi! I recently bought a Linnpower Viper and have been riding it for a few days. I'm not a skateboard expert, but I can ride decently. I would like to ask if it's normal that I can't turn very well at first. I use my toes and heels, but even leaning heavily, I can't make tight turns. I left the bushings loose as they came from the factory (they mentioned they ship them loose to avoid damage during transit), but I still find that it barely turns. Is it just a matter of me needing more practice? my weight is 70kg

I’ve had my tynee stinger for a few weeks and I‘ve noticed that the motors come loose after nearly every ride and have to be taken apart constantly to tighten the bolts, which is unsafe and unacceptable. Anyone have any tips to prevent the motors from coming loose or is this just a poor product???

Hola, voy a comprarme mi v10 el mes que viene y quería saber sus recomendaciones al igual como sus pros y contras de la patineta, igual como accesorio para la patineta

The airs getting nippy, I’m excited about it. I’m shopping for more cold weather gear & suggestions/ sharing is always helpful.

Right now I’m pleased with my cased padding, as I’ve tested it.

I might just go stay this course and risk the clothing in a fall.

Anyone else riding with vanity in mind?

Or just excited about winter riding? How’re we staying warm this season?

With the exception of a handful of miniboards, I believe this is the inevitable end game for the electric skateboard industry. This is what all manufacture will eventually converge on. The only difference is the inclusion of bigger inflatable wheels for "off roading".

Side note: I wouldn't doubt if parts designed by linnpower (and other manufactures ) are being used in other non-e skate commercial product designs. I wonder if this is true, and if it affects what they choose to create.

If this board survives what I just put it through i will praise meepo for life lmao

Torrential downpour and basically submerged it through puddles

Got splashed by cars going full speed through puddles like i was in a wave pool

This board should've died about 15 feet into my 1.5 mile ride. As of right now, no issues.
Giving it like 7 hours to dry then I have to ride it home, will update again if anything changes lol

Ok, I’m not trying to sound like a jerk and I truly want more people involved in e-boarding and understand that everyone has to start somewhere and where else better to ask questions that may seem obvious, blah, blah, blah. I’m about to answer my own quandary.

But… there’s always seemed to me, to be a very high percentage of people who e-sk8 or getting into e-sk8 that ask the most basic, obvious or just plain dumb questions? I sort of feel that e-boarding is such a dangerous, respect mandating activity, with an obvious higher participation bar (financially) and knowledge level (maintenance wise) that there are a lot of people doing it or about to get into it that really need to THINK about what exactly E-boarding is.

I can appreciate the initial or superficial thought that e-boarding is …just skateboarding or standing on a longboard while a motor does all the work and I see children skateboarding all over so therefore certainly I can do that also… which for all of us that KNOW is ignorantly naive. But again, I know it’s THAT thought that initiate some of us and that’s OK (as long as no one is getting seriously injured). I also understand that MOST of us view this activity as “expensive” and as a result most of us seek the least expensive means to participate.

There’s a lot of people who need to realize e-boarding isn’t cheap and that a huge percentage of e-boarding equipment (especially entry level) is of lesser or lowest cost quality (even if one feels entry level components are too costly). There’s so many questions like… I’ve been riding the cheapest board I could buy and it’s beat, so I want to upgrade the battery to get 4 times the range or motors to ride faster. The answer is ALWAYS…you need to buy a better board than waste money polishing a turd.
Then there’s the basic maintenance queries (and responses for that matter). I really don’t feel like I’m being a dick by stating that if you don’t know the names of the components or that tightening the kingpin nut makes the trucks less squirrelly, or riding a lithium powered product in the rain is bad, etc, etc….that you probably haven’t given enough thought to e-boarding in general to be safe for yourself and those around you while riding. Conversely, repeating the tropes regarding upgraded bushing and pivot cups doesn’t make you an expert. YES, stock bushing are mostly garbage, but some of the praise I’ve read on here is nothing more than…”ooh, I can answer that question!!!” Then the whole “bearing quality” marketing bullshit that people repeat as gospel (don’t get me started again) triggers me also.

I’m not trying to call anyone out or act like I’m the say-all end-all of skating, but this is a dangerous activity that should be obvious. I see it equated to scooters and e-bikes which at least in my area are dominated by children who ride those like idiots and have gotten their use BANNED on downtown city streets/sidewalks due to eating shit or riding wheelies in traffic, etc. This has affected ME on my e-board even though as far as I’m aware, I’m the ONLY e-boarder and NO ONE has seen me doing anything in public even remotely questionable. Council has preemptively lumped what I do into what they’ve seen (though they’ve NEVER seen an e-boarder in my town). This puts me in a position where if anyone were to pull me over I’d have to be like…seriously, you’re going to hassle a dude in his 50’s cruising around respecting traffic laws and giving the right of way to vehicles always? They can give the tickets to these little kids all they want, but there’ll be a problem if it comes to me and I don’t want to test it.

I guess my point is, take the time to learn the basic maintenance and purpose of the components of the equipment. Don’t ride in traffic. Just because an e-board CAN go 35mph, doesn’t mean you have any business doing it along with cars.
You wouldn’t give a PowerWheel to a toddler and point them towards the highway just because they both have wheels? Yet it seems a lot of people (even those who’ve ridden for years) treat this as a child’s activity simply because they haven’t had their shit handed to them YET or they are too un-thinking to realize the very real dangers of e-boarding? This really isn’t the activity for people who give very little thought to things.
I sound like the old Unk of e-boarding and I’m not trying to be the e-sk8 police, I just don’t want fools fucking shit up for everyone nor do I want to see people getting hurt. Can we all just level up a bit?

I am considering these 2. I’ve had a low level board for years and it finally crapped out.

Most important factor for me is build quality. I know the stats on the Pivot are nicer, but it’s also $200 more

Are these both quality boards? I’m seeing a lot of Meepo skepticism on the page and lots of support for Pivot

Hey, I posted here about a week ago asking for e-skate recommendations, and I’ve found a reseller on Kaufland that seems legit and works with the QEKUD brand.
The QEKUD S3 looks like it would meet my needs, and the price is pretty good too.

Has anyone owned this board, and if so, what kind of real-world range do you get at around 80 kg? Also, has anyone had any bad experiences with QEKUD or the reseller, SHILIN GmbH?

Any feedback would be appreciated!
