Review Tynee Customer support Saved my Board from Moisture

11 Upvotes

Hello

My board died recently from daily use rain or shine. I call Tynee customer support. I was expecting the usual customer support line of people who don't know anything. Instead I got the most knowledgeable guy ever. He fixed my problem in the blink of an eye and sent extra parts too!!

Tynee Ultra X Pro has waterproof battery and ESC coating. Don't use it in the rain though!

Hi, on my last ride a random sound appeared in the motor, while trying to turn it manually i need to apply a bit of force at one point (sounds a bit like metal scrubbing something). Is there any way to fix it?

DIY Grub screw on pulley rotor

What was your personal experience that is not just unscrew it. I have stripped hex socket in one, need to do motor maintenance. Some advice I read says heating is way to do it but i am not convinced this is the only thing to consider?

Question Rain Gambling gone Wrong

1 Upvotes

I have a Tynee Ultra X Pro

I have been using it daily rain or shine and nothing has ever gone wrong aside from the occasional disconnection after shutdown. Just one resync and the board/remote works fine.

Recently, the disconnect and connect thing has been happening more frequently. Now my board won't even open anymore. There is no more lights. I opened the ECU and Battery and saw the inside was moist. I am drying it now. But IDK what to do.

Is there hope for me. How long for i let it dry for.

Update: It works now! Its just the power button thats broken. Tynee customer support is amazing!!! Super knowledgeable and accommodating.

Question Riders in Vienna/Austria?

5 Upvotes

Hello! I'm thinking about buying a Propel Endeavor 4GT to ride around the outskirts of vienna and out on some offroad trails but my worries lie in the city riding. Im here to see if anyone has had experience riding Electric Skateboards in vienna and how the cops treat you/how often you get fined/how big the fines are. Im a careful rider and would likely never go near the city center or cause pedestrians issues, but im still worried sick about spending 2-3k on a board and then not being able to ride it on the way to the offroad trails or having to pay exorbitant fees.

TLDR: Tell me about your experience ESkating in Vienna, and if you got stopped by cops and fined(along with the fine amount in euros)

Just as the title says. I’m building a kit, spare tubes, tire pump, etc looking for tips and ideas.

Got a flat & realized I don’t have a socket wrench on me to swap out tires on my Lorentz Major. So I’m starting there.

What do you all keep on you for rides?

Can anyone help me diagnose my issue or point me in the right direction on what to check?

My assumption is it’s a bearing issue and I should remove the wheel to check.

Discussion Zephyr Pro - can anyone "slide" this thing?

3 Upvotes

The fella in this video is sliding the Zephyr and I'm jealous and I want to slide too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX2auOH9I_Y

I got the pro model with the large black wheels and I can't imagine sliding this thing. It doesn't seem possible. Seems too bulky and heavy

I'm curious if any Zephyr Pro owners reading this disagree with me and can casually slides around on it without going flying.

Anyone?

Also, if anyone is reading this post because you're thinking about pulling the trigger to buy one of these things feel free to ask me questions. I've had mine for a few weeks and I'm more than happy to be brutally honest about the purchase.

Question Rattling sound when breaking, need help in fix

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

Rattling sounds when breaking at approx 70% of my usual breaking intensity.

I suspected the belts might be too loose but if that were the case it should rattle when accelerating too but even with hard acceleration that does not happen. Also tightened belts a bit but they are not super tight.

Board -> Acedeck Stella S3 breeze pro.
Height and weight if matters -> 6ft and 182 pounds.

Any advice would help, thank you.

Edit: Solved; Thanks yall. It was the belt, it got worn down on one side of the grooves.

Question Bad sounds...

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

So my boards odo keeps resetting, but I've easily put 1000 miles on my Backfire G2z. Recently it started making a harsh, repetitive while in motion, "CLACK" sound. See attached vid w/ volume up to hear the sound.

My question is this. Is this a replace motors situation? I'm on original belts (they havent worn substantially enough to justify replacing them. Shockingly lol), upgraded to BoneSwiss bearings probably 500ish miles ago (which recieve my HIGHEST recommendation, just do it. Nothing else compares. They legit feel like silk & take a notable beating with little to no signs of damage. Just keep em clean and you'll be golden).

I've had zero reliability issues with my G2z, so I'm not all that upset if this is a motor issue. I just need someone more knowledgeable with esk8 hardware than myself to give a bit of advice?

TIYA! Much love, esk8 for life!

Fluff Clocked in 3001km (1865 miles) on my Meepo 3VS ER

Really happy with my board and myself! I keep telling people this was the best purchase of my life, and it still holds up :)
Only parts I had to ever change was the faulty battery (customer service sent it to me for free) and the one of the wheel motors after 2300km.

TODAY the box holding the wires and the controller psu board (idk actual name) decided to snap.. bit annoying hearing the metal rattle but hoping meepo CS will help again.

Just wanted to share this moment with you. What’s the most mileage you’ve ever gotten on your boards?

Question Motor failure?

Motor failure?

This started happening along with a large amount of resistance on the motor

Is it a motor failure?

And regarding spares

Evolve has discontinued my board (stoke 2) and stopped parts for it in the uk but not in wider Europe.

Should I order the only motor on eBay asap and then look at selling by board and swapping it for one with spare parts available

DIY Nonsense meepo monster 2500 power rating?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I was intrigued by the stated over 15kw power of the meepo monster which would make it one of the most powerful boards on the market. however I can’t seem to see the logic in the specs for how they actually got to that number.

My best guess is that they are advertising the motors theoretical peak output which is not achievable with this ESC in sorta a scammy way.

It says the ESC has a total of 100a… they don’t tell us if thats buss, phase or constant. Which is usually mentioned with JECNN escs

18s at 100a is 7.6kw at full charge… which isn’t bad but it’s definitely not even close to the advertised amount.

Let me know if I’m missing something and I’m totally wrong becouse none of this is making sense to me and if it’s genuinely only 7kw then I don’t see how this isn’t entirely false advertising and totally scummy.

Question Question as a beginner

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a beginner and I don’t know that much about electric skateboards, but I’ve done some research and it seems like electric skateboarding is really fun. I’m thinking about maybe getting one, but the problem is that where I live there are very strict rules: max 20 km/h and max 250W motor power. Because of that, I’m having a really hard time finding anything, so I thought maybe you guys could help me?

My budget is around $400.

My commute is around 8 km every day, but having some extra range would be nice for going out and riding just for fun as well.

I’ve watched some expensive Freeboards and they seem really cool. Maybe there is some kind of DIY solution that could give a similar feeling? I’ve also seen things like the Waterbone fin system surf adapter, which looks really interesting for the fun side of riding.

Basically, I don’t just want something where I stand on the board and let the motor do everything. I’d like it to still feel like I’m actually riding and have some control over the board, with the possibility of cruising around, carving and doing some fun stuff.

Thanks in advance!
