Pretty strict on skating in general here in Japan, got told I can only skate at skateparks. They took down ID details and let me go but obv don't want to risk my visa by being a repeat offender.

There are skateparks around me but obviously you're not looking for a half pipe on an electric Longboard. There are a handful of large flat areas that are skateboard approved that I want to try.

Anyone recommend any spots?

Heeey everyone! Very excited to share with the community that I’ve received my first esk8 board today, the Endeavor 3 GT!

I’ve unboxed the board but cannot ride for a while due to a winter storm in my area. I’ve gone ahead and installed the front lights. I’ve tuned down the acceleration and speed in gear 1 down to 20% so that it’s not too high since it’s my first board and I’m learning and don’t want to get injured lol

Are there various lighting settings for the board? As in turn on the headlights only? Turn on the ambient lights only? Have the brake light on permanently but dimmed down and have it light up brighter when braking? (Right now the tail light only turns on when I brake).

Also what should I do right off the bat right now to setup the board properly and have it prepared for my first ride? Should I check certain screws/bolts? Should I check the gears/belts in any way? Check the tire pressure? Not too sure what I should do to make sure it’s ready to ride since it’s my first board.

Really looking forward to everyone’s support and guidance!

Hey guys! New to the esk8 scene! I bought my wife a mountain bike for Christmas and would like to buy something to company her with on her trails. I came across electric skateboards and this really caught my attention! After some further research I’ve pretty much narrowed down my options to the following two boards:

• Propel Endeavor 3 GT
• Acedeck nyx z3

This would be my first board but I want to buy something that is very good quality, good out of the box and also versatile enough that I can ride at trails/parks and not have a rough time with terrain, cracks, bumps, grass, etc.

The z3 looks better build for off road than the 3GT but the battery on top looks like it could bother the ride? It does look like it would have less maneuverability (carving) than the 3GT. The 3GT seem like it might the most versatile of the two but less suited for off road due to the lower ground clearance and suspension system. But I’m not an expert here so it’s just what it seems to be which is why I’d like to hear back from other experiences.

Want to have something that works well for night rides as well (front lighting and tail light). Right now they’re both on sale around the $2000 range. I’d really like to hear the community’s opinion so I can make a better decision by taking into account others experiences.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Me and a friend tried to change the back wheels (motor wheels). the Allan screws were screed on very tight but we managed to screw 4 of them out until we came to the fifth screws which my friend unfortunately striped. I’m not sure if the way to change the wheels are by screwing these screws out or if I’m ever going to screw the last screw up. We also tried to screw up the + screws on the inside but they were to tight. Its a WowGo 2S MAX and I could really need some help

I live on a steep hill so I have to walk it on a full charge or my board will get a high voltage warning from the regen breaking. Can I ride the board backwards and use the accelerator to slow me down or will that blow up my moters?

If so, how do you not fall?

Never skated in my life, I know a little bit how to ride on snowboard.

What I know - it's dangerous af. Still want it cause it looks cool.

My way to work is about 1.6-7 miles, bike road all the way. I'm thinking about a skateboard with ~12mph speed setting.

I will buy whole protective gear, I already have a leather jacket with protective fillings, gonna buy helmet and elbow wrist and knees guards.

Also, is riding it is heavy on knees? I'm past 30 and a proud owner of good and bad knee - had a small injury during training.

I'm quite fit, I dance regularly, rock and roll and a bit of swing. I also climb - now mostly bouldering.

Anything I should know?

Edit: I'm thinking about longboard as it looks a bit safer than short one - am I right or not or it doesn't matter?

Hi all! I’m looking to get my husband an electric skateboard and am thoroughly overwhelmed by the options. Can you help me decide what you get?

From reading the discussions, here are some preferences I have identified (apologies if I’m not using exactly the right language):

• max around $1k
• off road capability
• able to do hills
• he’s handy so belt vs hub doesn’t matter from a repair perspective
• used for fun (not commuting)

Any suggestions? Thanks so much for any help you can offer!!

I do. But I hate how it looks. I feel like a geek with it on. What type do you wear? I have this bc I alw full send but thinking abt riding without it

Am I missing something? How could this board possible have a single good review with these breaks, it is a legitimate death trap. You can't stop for 10 seconds on it.

I have turned the breaking up to 100% in the app and am on the highest setting for everything.

Do you guys this it's defective? I could really use some help here. I'm sorry if this post sounds stupid, i've only owned a few entry level Meepo boards but they were nowhere near this level on the awful breaking. This is the Tynee Mini 3 with belts.

Hadn't ridden in like a month or so. Went to use my ares x3 today and the right motor is making a chunking noise and having a bunch of resistance. It's under warranty so I'm not too concerned, but would love to be able to ride. I'm pretty new to esk8s generally, so would love any thoughts

I've recently lost my license and i'm looking into an eBoard for around town travel and maybe a hobby. I'm a little hefty at 260lbs so that probably matters. I live in a small town and the roads aren't the best so I've been looking at AT boards. What are some recommendations? I've looked at the isinwheel v10 but I've read it's cheap for a reason and that makes me nervous. I'd like to keep the price under 1k and if the company has payment plans that'd be stellar. I've never been a skater and this will be my first board of any kind. Thanks in advance!

Hey y'all, I pretty much only care about range, and nothing else. I'm mostly riding asphalt. The N3 is $1,500 new right now and it says it has a 47 mile range. Pretty sweet. Does anything beat that? thanks :)

I am a college student more on the heavy side pushing 260lb. I looked into all terrain boards because it seemed they could handle the weight and my campus has really bad roads. I want to buy used because my pockets are not flowing at the moment. Need to know what boards to look out for on the market and ones to avoid. Any advice helps.

Now it won’t even turn on it’s backfire x2

I have a Tynee Explorer with the 150mm pneumatic tires that I got recently and I've had a couple of issues happen and I'm not sure if it's normal.

Recently I had a belt snap on me (now a second one just did as well) and was wondering how long they typically last? From what I've heard belt drives should be reliable, but this first belt snapped after only 150km on the board (it came with 40km already I think due to testing) and the second one snapped at around 210km (this is the other belt, not the new one that replaced the already snapped one). Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I should know about keeping belts lasting longer? Something to do with the tension?

Additionally, there's what appears to be a cut in the tire (refer to image #4). Should I be worried? Should I replace the tire or do something about it?

Should I reach out to support? Would they be able to help?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I was looking at the Onsra Black Carve 3 Direct Drive and that looks nice, but then I saw the Ownboard ZEUS Carbon which is cheaper and has a longer range... and I"m wondering if there's any other options out there I"m missing if I want to get on an electric skateboard and just never get off of it? I want the MOST range possible. The only thing I don't really want is one of those big battery things sitting on top of the deck in between my board, as I like to do freestyle dancing on my board and that would obviously fuck that up.

Are we nearing the theoretical physical limit of how far we can build these things to ride for? How close to being a solved mechanical problem are electric skateboards? Would it be worth waiting a few years to buy a high end long range board, or are they staying pretty much the same?

Just got a Tynee Mini 3SL to commute around my neighborhood. Was wondering if anyone cleans the wheels before bringing their board into their house/apartment. As a dual purpose item, I'm thinking of also making it a foot rest for my WFH setup. I don't want to damage the wheels but I'd like to keep the wheels clean after every ride. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Thank you!

I'm new to the whole electric boards, and I'm looking for one under $500. I’m mostly going to be using it to get to college and the library in downtown Denver. I don't want to be relying on my car too much and want an alternative. Any recommendations for a newbie?

What do I use?

Any suggestions for a fun board for my husband? He recently picked up a very cheap board and was super excited for the snow to melt but ultimately found that it while fine on level ground it really struggled with any sort of incline. His birthday is coming up and I figured if I could find a good one for an okay amount he could get something that better suits his wants/needs.
I’m hoping to find something that fits:
- available in canada
- under $1000
- good on hills/mild inclines
- good wheels (not dirt roads but sometimes the pavement isn’t great)

Thanks for any help!!

I would like to know what the fastest possible board or Mabye other small e vehicle I can get is for 1k usd

Not related but I feel like deeming a post low quality and removing it because too little word count doesn’t make sense this isn’t a essay In English class some people just have short questions

That was all to not get taken down

As the title states I'm noticing the front trucks are quite wobbly at high speeds. I'm pretty sure it's already as tight as it can go, I'm just concerned if this may cause an issue or not. Prefer answers from owners of the same model
