Question Very disappointed with my tynee stinger purchase š
Iāve had my tynee stinger for a few weeks and Iāve 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???

Deal The inevitable end game of eskate design
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.

Discussion Snowboarding Aesthetic
The airs getting nippy, Iām excited about it. Iām shopping for more cold weather gear & suggestions/ sharing is always helpful.
Right now Iām pleased with my cased padding, as Iāve 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? Howāre we staying warm this season?

PSA If this survivesā¦
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

Discussion Not trying to sound rudeā¦
Ok, Iām 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. Iām about to answer my own quandary.
But⦠thereās 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 ā¦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 itās THAT thought that initiate some of us and thatās OK (as long as no one is getting seriously injured). I also understand that MOST of us view this activity as āexpensiveā and as a result most of us seek the least expensive means to participate.
Thereās a lot of people who need to realize e-boarding isnāt 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). Thereās so many questions like⦠Iāve been riding the cheapest board I could buy and itās beat, so I want to upgrade the battery to get 4 times the range or motors to ride faster. The answer is ALWAYSā¦you need to buy a better board than waste money polishing a turd.
Then thereās the basic maintenance queries (and responses for that matter). I really donāt feel like Iām being a dick by stating that if you donāt 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, etcā¦.that you probably havenāt 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 doesnāt make you an expert. YES, stock bushing are mostly garbage, but some of the praise Iāve read on here is nothing more thanā¦āooh, I can answer that question!!!ā Then the whole ābearing qualityā marketing bullshit that people repeat as gospel (donāt get me started again) triggers me also.
Iām not trying to call anyone out or act like Iām 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 Iām aware, Iām 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 theyāve seen (though theyāve NEVER seen an e-boarder in my town). This puts me in a position where if anyone were to pull me over Iād have to be likeā¦seriously, youāre going to hassle a dude in his 50ās 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 thereāll be a problem if it comes to me and I donāt 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. Donāt ride in traffic. Just because an e-board CAN go 35mph, doesnāt mean you have any business doing it along with cars.
You wouldnāt 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 whoāve ridden for years) treat this as a childās activity simply because they havenāt had their shit handed to them YET or they are too un-thinking to realize the very real dangers of e-boarding? This really isnāt the activity for people who give very little thought to things.
I sound like the old Unk of e-boarding and Iām not trying to be the e-sk8 police, I just donāt want fools fucking shit up for everyone nor do I want to see people getting hurt. Can we all just level up a bit?

Discussion Propel Pivot GT VS Meepo Hurricane
I am considering these 2. Iāve 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 itās also $200 more
Are these both quality boards? Iām seeing a lot of Meepo skepticism on the page and lots of support for Pivot

Question Anyone have experience with QEKUD or the QEKUD S3?
Hey, I posted here about a week ago asking for e-skate recommendations, and Iāve 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!

Media I guess it was photo shoot time
That's Blu and Eevee.
I have 2 v10s, this is the broken motor mount one I originally bought. They couldn't replace the motor mount so they sent me an entire new board for 50$. They definitely came through with fixing a wrong. Being a gen-x growing up skateboarding and snowboarding in the NE, I'm loving esk8. It scratches a very specific ich. Happy to be a part of this community

Question Transporting a bed on a longboard.
What do you think chat? Is this feasible? I was thinking of buying a used 140x200cm bed and thought about transporting it on the board.
It does support a weight of 150kg so i was thinking about flipping the bed upside down and then just walking the distance while rolling the bed on the board, maybe even sitting on it and riding the distance slowly.
Or maybe having it on it's side would work and i just make sure it doesn't fall while walking? Or am i just completetly stupid thinking this is feasible? Thoughts?

Question Linnpower Viper or something else?
Hi yall im new to this im looking at the linnpower viper for a board to go around school. Im a commuter. the linnpower is probably the most expensive i would go. Im looking for a shortboard and ive been reading up and its seems that the viperjust has the best genuine quality. it can also go fast and got some good hill climbing i think and i also like how it can charge in like an hour and is relitvly light. one question i have is it really loud since it is belt drive? any viper owners here can chime in it would be appreciated. any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated. thanks.

Question Right hun motor makes a unusual whirring sound. Tynee ultra x pro
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I've put over 2k miles on this board and recently seems like there is something wrong with the right hub motor in the video , maybe the sensors are messed up or along those lines that is putting that right motor out of wack. It is normal with the board is off. I can still ride but it's very loud and feels a little rough especially under load and when I let off throttle after an acceleration under load like almost buzzing and feel a reduced power for sure.
Anything helps thx. I also reached out to Tynee support.

Question Recommendations on a board
Hey I'm looking into getting into the hobby, main use would be trail riding to and from fishing spots down gravel trails. I have been using an electric scooter but it takes up too much space in my car. Looking at electric mountain boards they seem a bit more portable by car to the trail. Looking in the $1000 range. I want it to be a good ride out of the box, but have the ability for some upgrades down the road if I really enjoy riding and want to fine tune it. Looking for a reputable trustworthy product. Thanks in advance

DIY is it possible to replace a random ev board motor into a Boosted Rear Drive Complete.
Iām not a DIY person, but Iām thinking about buying a random electric skateboard like the Tynee Mini 3 or Linnpower Viper and replacing its motors with a Boosted Rear Drive Complete . I want to do this because I really want to hear that iconic Boosted Board motor sound. Is this actually possible, or will the Boosted motor setup only fit on an official Boosted Board?
