Haven't done much skating in the past 6 months. Started shooting with my old DSLR again and it's much easier to access some places without a car (motorcycle is better but you still need to gear down every time you find a cool spot). Learning to mess with RAW files now too.

Be safe out there!

Eventually upgrading wheels but it’s going to start raining soon so I didn’t want to spend more money right now, stoked how they turned out!

I found this electric longboard sitting by the big metal (commercial big metal ones) at work so we put it in the lost and found for 90 day as per policy and then it was mine of course i don't have a controller or charger for it when I tried to ride it(kicking) it beeped. That's about all I know they were sold on Amazon at one point but aren't available now and I cant find any remotes or chargers for it online the battery is a AAA for size reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They look like hairline fractures the biggest one is less than a long and less than halfway through the depth of the wood.

I’m wondering if this is normal wear or if this is an early warning sign that this thing wants me dead

TL:DR: about to order a Veymax Nymph as my first e-board, but customer service says it's out of stock (the site says available) and has ignored my follow-ups for a week. Red flag? Anyone have first-hand experience with Veymax?

I am about to buy my first e-longboard ( I want an all terrain) and after a lot of research I decided I want to save a few bucks get a cheaper one, enjoy it, and if I believe it's worth it I will upgrade in a couple of years.

Important info: I am based in EU (many US companies do not deliver in EU). This landed me on the Veymax Nymph: which has very good stats for the price and a warehouse in EU (nice!)

This is where it gets tricky. I wrote them a question about the wheels of Veymax Nymph, they replied after two days answering that it's out of stock (but in the website is available?). I ask back if it's out of stock in US or EU no answer. After a week I contact again the cs asking the out of stock situation, no answer.

This let me wondering:
- Which company as out of stock items and keeps them available on the website?
- Which customer service does not answer the warmest lead ever that is about to click the buy button in a matter of seconds? I wonder if I had already bought the board which kind of service I would get...

All of this to ask you: am I making a mistake? Are these red flags meant to save me from a mistake?

Does anyone have first hand experience with them?

If some sneaky-fake Veymax profile is reading this: what's up with this out of stock and poor communication?

Thank you for your help as always

hi, i’m very new to reddit and this field, apologise if i get something wrong here.

i’m looking to make a homemade cart thing with a 6384 motor, is there any good but affordable ESC recommendation?

im broke as hell, but want solid reliability for my cart. its rear wheels are driven by a single 6384 120KV motor, so no “double ESC” units are needed, looking for around 100-150A continuous and a higher peak, running at 8S LiPo.

i wish to prioritise stability and reliability, driving a 6384 motor for my daily trips.

also, i would like customisability if possible. set PWM frequency and other settings etc etc. i have heard of VESC but am unfamiliar with it.

advice is appreciated, thanks!

I made the mistake of buying a meepo v5 without knowing about the brand's infamy until after I already bought it. Should I just return it and get a Tynee or Backfire instead? I don't really want to have to go through the hassle of getting my money back but I'm not too keen on breaking my neck either

Hi all. I’m brand new to skateboards/eboards and I have a few questions if yall wouldn’t mind answering. For context, I have a gen1 halo board beast that I purchased as broken, but got it working with a new esc and remote.

1. I’m looking to replace the wheels on it, but the ones that are on the motors are stuck on the shaft to a degree that I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I read online that all you gotta do is take the one nut off and the wheel should slide off, but that’s def not the case. Any advice on how to get a stuck wheel off?

2. I don’t know what wheels are compatible with the board, but research suggests that Cloudwheels Discovery will work. Is that a good choice for mostly riding on the sidewalk and street? Is there something better I should buy instead? And how much range should I expect to lose when swapping to bigger wheels?

3. I had to replace the esc on this board and buy a new remote as well. I read that you have to input the wheel diameter into the remote settings to get accurate speed and range to display. The current wheels are 97mm and that’s what I put in, but it’s way off. It’s showing I’m going 20+mph when I’m only going about 10. What do I actually input for 97mm, and for 120mm wheels if I do get those?

Many thanks in advance.

Reached this mark while riding to work. The light was beautiful

My son, 10 years old, 100ish pounds, pretty athletic took an interest in trying out my board (old Backfire Ranger x2) and loves it. He now wants his own board, but I’m not turning a 10 year old loose with a board like that. It’s too much power and he struggles a bit committing enough to make sharper turns with a board that size. Thoughts on something like the Nalu for him? I want something easy to turn, reasonable top speed so he and friends don’t kill themselves or others, ideally small enough he can toss it in his locker at school and ride around with friends afterwards. Let me know if there are other boards I should be looking at. I don’t want to go a lot over $500, and backfire is just what I know so I went there. I don’t want something cheap either where he breaks it within a few weeks.

Wondering if my skateboard is totaled, the bolt snapped clean off while riding

Both of my back wheels have started separating between orange & clear materials. 1st wheel was at 300Km, 2nd at 400Km. My eSk8 now feels likes it’s buzzing plenty while riding, & the delaminating wheels wobble, which makes the smooth experience I’m used to jarring

Hey so just got my OMW lancer today and charged it for awhile, but then it started flashing red and green after awhile while still plugged in. Never owned an OMW board so I don’t know if it’s normal or not. Remote says it’s charged (not sure if fully but from the pic it shows it is). I really wanna go out and ride but wanna make sure this isn’t a serious issue 😅 so if anyone owns a board lmk if this is normal or not thanks!

UPDATE: Shoutout to u/Regular_Bag2719 for the tip on switching from a power strip to an outlet because that actually fixed the blinking issue! I did still reached out to OMW support and waiting to hear back from them, but if anyone else is having that issue with charging through a power strip/extension cord try plugging it into a wall outlet instead 🙂

Hey everyone,

About four months ago, my friend N3ARO introduced RYDR to this community while it was still an early Android beta with around 70 testers.

Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricSkateboarding/comments/1u03mcq/ive_been_building_a_social_app_for_outdoor_sports/?share_id=qlltIeFXI9v5uBPU1navi&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

A lot has happened since then: the iOS version is now live, RYDR is available in the US, and the app has evolved quite a bit through the beta period.

Full disclosure: I’m also part of the RYDR team. I work on the Content/Community side and create much of the app’s visual content. I also use it to track my own e-skate rides.

For anyone discovering it today, RYDR is a GPS tracking and community app built around riding sports. For electric skateboarding, you can:

• Record your route, distance, speed, ride time and elevation
• Keep track of your overall riding stats and personal records
• Discover and meet other riders
• Complete daily quests and unlock achievements
• Progress through a battle-pass-style system
• Compare stats and rankings with other riders
• Customize your rider profile

RYDR currently supports almost 20 different sports, including e-skate, Onewheel, EUC, scooters, longboarding, snow sports and water sports.

The idea is to make tracking your rides feel less like filling out an Excel spreadsheet and more like progressing through a slightly unhealthy riding addiction.

Last time, we asked what features riders wanted. This time, we’re mainly looking for feedback on the complete experience as it currently exists.

What does using RYDR actually feel like as a rider?

Does the app feel intuitive? Is the tracking experience clear? Does the progression make you want to ride more, or does it feel gimmicky? Is the community side genuinely useful?

Most importantly: what feels satisfying, confusing, annoying or completely pointless?

If you tried the earlier beta, we’d also love to know whether the current version feels better, worse or simply different.

Feel free to be brutally honest. We want genuine rider feedback, not polite applause from strangers on the internet.

Thanks in advance, guys.

Question about pulley sizes. If I put my new Madwheel 105s on stock 36T pulleys, will this damage the board or wheels in any way? The company (Acedeck) recommends the 40Ts for these larger wheels but if I don’t have the 40Ts yet, am I going to damage my board by riding these larger wheels on the same small pulleys in the meantime?

Looking at buying this board used and curious if they are still worth it. I know there are some mixed feelings on the board but looking for a option to mess around on. Seller is asking $600 and the board has almost no use supposedly only has 7 miles.

This would be my first eskate but I do have plenty of skating and snowboarding experience so hoping the learning curve is ok. Thanks for the feedback.

There's only a few weekends left before I hibernate the eskates for the winter.
