For sure you don´t know what you are talking about... you say that the battery is 42 volt , and that you can feel it immediately, even that it is 36volt. For technical knowledge i would give you 1 out of 10. You are not trustworthy
Hey, I have replied to your email. I don't know why, but it seems that you haven't been able to receive my reply. I want to let you know here to prevent the situation of not being able to receive email again!
Hey nice videos!!! I think you’re close to Venice ca? I don’t have any riding partners . I’ve been building some boards recently, I’m close to the beach and I could use a second set of eyes and riding on the beach with a riding partner. HMU. Have a great weekend
Thanks! I have a Boosted Mini X that I've owned since like, 2017. I stripped the screws that connect the belt shields, so I haven't been using it. I was thinking up upgrading to a Meepo Mini but it's hard to decide without seeing how they compare. I wouldn't want to get a new board that's not as good as my old one. The thing I really dislike is dealing with the belts. If I could get a board that's the same or better without belts, that would be something worth buying right away.
Also, I purchased replacement screws but they were too short. So going to hardware store soon to just fix my board and ride it till it dies and then get a new one, hopefully they'll be even better then.
they are bigger, but the contact patch is actually significantly smaller in spite of the fact meepo says it is actually bigger. While yes the donuts are wider, they are not flat across though so what was once stable at high speeds now get slight speed wobble with the donut wheels. Acceleration is smoother though and if you have a lot of asphalt roads that are over due for resurfacing near you that you mostly ride on, Then you definitely want these wheels. They make the whole ride experience much more pleasant and your feet don't fatigue as fast on rough terrain.
Oh yeah and the speed setting number appears to be the circumference of the wheel in cm times 2. So if you have a wheel w/ 90mm diameter it's circumference is about 283 mm or 28.3 cm. 28x2 = 56. So speed setting for 90mm wheels is 56. Mind you this is just my opinion this info came from no official source of any kind.
I had this board and the exact same thing happened to me with the deck snapping in the same place. Company replaced it right away though! Great customer service. I ended up doing a deck swap with a loaded coyote and it was so easy. Still love this board even with all its issues.
I'm in SD and have the Sportster Hybrid and I agree with you on pretty much all of the points. The wheels are horrible. They are so hard, especially the rear wheels, which are pretty thin since it has to accomodate for the hub motors. Cloudwheels have donuts that are suppose to fit, but not sure if it will help much. As for the brakes, they don't engage right away for me either. They're decent but on a decent size hill, they will not slow the board down enough and foot braking is absolutely necessary. I have another eskate, which is a lot more expensive, so it might be unfair to compare but that one will completely stop on the same hill for me. I still like my sportster hybrid because it can free roll and feels a bit closer to regular skateboard/longboard than my heavy all terrain board that is huge, but I really do wish they have better wheel options and re-tune the brakes.
This is the first time I've ever heard the Hybrid Sportster v3 can't brake to a reasonable speed without foot braking. Can I ask if you have a v3 version and if you have turned the braking force up to max?
@@wilsgrant yes I have the v3. The problem for me is that the brake takes a split second and then it kicks in but it still feels kind of mushy when it kicks in. Definitely not confidence inspiring but I can still make it work. Under 20mph, it's okay if you have some time to brake. Problem is when going above 20mph, like 25mph and someone opens their car door on the side of the street, then the brakes are inadequate and won't be able to stop fast enough. They're also difficult to modulate going down very steep hills because they take a second to engage.
@@BN99239 I see, thanks for the detail. My only frame of reference is a hobby wing esc so hopefully I’m not disappointed. If so I guess I can always swap out the ESC.
What kinda connectors does it have on the ESC/battery? It's possible you might be able to use something else. My hobby is figuring out alternative/upgrade ESC's. (For instance Meepo V3/LingYi ESC on a Yecoo MTS > WowGo 3 Hobbywing ESC)
@@E-M-A-Z-I-N-G like I said, it depends what connectors your model has; I've a skill for scouring esk8 company websites and finding suitable parts, no experience chopping and swapping on new connectors. The most common are older bullet x6 and yellow XT30 connectors, but some use 6-pin round connectors.
Aye, there's a reason most hub motor riders use 105mm cloudwheel donut wheels... Problem is you lost more battery range with larger wheels/motors working harder
I got this board and sold it the same day. The break strength or lack of and the delayed response were a dealbreaker. I just got the exway wave instead. Might and day difference. Never will Justin get my money again.
This is probably the best review on this board I've seen on RU-vid but there isn't many to begin with. yoiu complaints kind of don't make sense, because if you want a board you can also push with, it will have to be lighter. Lighter means smaller batteries. Smaller batteries mean less range. I'm thinking about getting this board plus eventually getting a Tynee Stinger OG for range. The Stinger gets 33 miles but is a 26 pound beast. And its only about $900
Thank you for the compliment. I understand your point. I should of been more clear. While I like that it's lighter weight - I would prefer a bigger battery and a bit more weight. My main complaints about this board are really the brakes and the deck strength. You should get it. I miss it even with some of the problems. I want to try a Tynee also
I desperately need to replace my back wheels on my Magneto. They are shredded. I know that you said the wheels aren't that great but which kind would you recommend to replace them? I noticed they don't sell the original wheels on there website
@@E-M-A-Z-I-N-G Hey, To prevent accidents from happening again, I have received your reply and I have replied. I say this because you have not received my reply several times before, please remember that I am willing to cooperate with you. Do you have any contact information other than email?
*Yewww!* ⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡ Nice review dude. I like 50deg front, 42deg rear truck, perfect split setup for my preference. Lower degree makes it turn Less and more stable at higher speeds but soft bushings make it feel less stable instead. Bushings are the issue, not lower degree. Meepo use super soft bushings, even their harder bushings are softer than others like Venom or Riptide.
@@E-M-A-Z-I-N-G 100a is too hard, thats the maximum. in that case its the formula of that bushing, not all 100a are alike. Venom HPF 93a feels harder than Venom SHR 94a, and Riptide APS 93a feels even softer, Riptide Krank 93a feels kinda bouncier than Venom's HPF or SHR formulas. Some found bouncier more stable for turnin and others find it unstable when stayin straight. It's quite interestin stuff, I've tried a few different formulas, very different feelin, I took my Meepo bushings out, even the Meepo 100a felt softers than my 90a Venom lol, the Meepo bushing formula is super soft even at the hardest duro. I recommend Venom HPF or Riptide Krank if you prefer stronger return to centre feeling. Or put on bushings from a different board you like. Good bushings + lower angle truck gives great stability.
respectfully, the onewheel is worse in almost every regard.. the cheapest model of the onewheel is more expensive than this and has way worse specs, but to each their own.
Bro ive got both and the batteries are not identical. So the mini 2 er uses 27500 cells (correct me i cant remember what size those ones are) and the 5 uses 18650 cells. The 27500 cells are supperior so even the battery is better. At least mine use these two different cells
Hiya. Great write-up thanks :) The battery is a 36v battery, The nominal voltage peaks at roughly 42 volts ( 10 x 4.2v in series I think) I also find the board quite twitchy but don't want to ride fast. It's such fun to ride and I am very much the beginner. I love the deck shape and width. I will now try my 105 wheels as you found them so effective. Cheers and keep up the good work :)
@@SemiDad and the Tynee Mini 3 pro still has more power, max speed, battery. And its lighter and smaller. The real Flow competitor is the tynee stinger
