So, after 1500 miles and about 350 charge cycles, the board has lost some capacity. About as much as expected. It started at 16.7 miles max range, and now it does about 13 miles.
I bought this board almost 100% off your recommendation from the original video. LOVE IT! You are the only person giving solid, real world testing information. Also dig the honest, every-person approach to your video production. Your humor is appreciated. This channel is going to sky rocket.
Bilal Zubair I got my v3 from alibaba for like half the price. I also bought a second battery and connected it in parallel to increase the range by 2x. Way cheaper than buying the ER battery
I T-boned a car doin about 25mph a couple months ago. He made a u-turn literally right in front of me and there was no time at all to even think about hitting the brake... Fucked me up, still in PT and will need surgery soon. But the worst part is my deck was crushed. It was still under warranty tho so I had to lie to meepo and say that the deck cracked from going over a speed bump lol there was a lot of back and forth but long story short they eventually sent me a new deck. I Swapped out the decks and now I get to ride to PT... now if that's not a happy ending idk what is
What the hell? You scammed Meepo for a new board, when they had nothing to do with the accident caused by the driver? How is that a good ending? And why not just take the insurance money and buy a new board like an honest human being...??
Sage Moore hey I was just wondering, how long did you wait for your Meepo when you ordered it? Because it’s taking so long for them to process my order and ship it out of factory. Just wanted some feedback
Awesome test of them batteries Sage, I got two of them standard batteries for my Meepo board. But I haven’t been running 1500 miles on my board yet, the weather where I live prevent me from skating most of the winter.
@@sagesends this is true. Im up in the bay area myself. Maybe what your skate sessions are like. I only commute to work and back so I don't get to do much skating like my old days.
Honestly I had no interest in MEEPO or anything and have no idea how I found your videos but I subscribed whenever I found you and watch em all cuz I like listening to you talk
Good info, thanks for doing that long ride for us! I just got one yesterday and saw that you can change the wheel speed. If I have the factory 90mm wheels should I leave that at 64?
@@sagesends I think you need the esc 6.0 and then hold both buttons and then you can change kph or mph and the wheel rotation so if you get bigger wheels you need to adjust the remote so it correctly says the speed
probably, but usually the battery has safeguards to only let you charge it about 85%. when it says 100% the battery does technically have more capacity, so don't worry about charging it to 100, but yeah avoid going below 20% unless you have too. just
ive been worrying about the wheels because i have to ride through some gravel. how have your wheels held up so far? i saw some videos of how bad the motor wheels are and how they crack and get bad easily.
@@kenjixiong4566 oh yeah easily. Have had my current wheels for 1100 miles, including riding off-road and doing powerslides and such. They're still running fine. They look very cracked but it doesn't effect anything. it's just surface splits.
@@markryanoklahoma I did that with my remote and it said "ok" after holding the buttons for a couple of seconds but when i turned the remote on it still read kph
If you held them down and didn’t see an option to change unit and wheel speed then you may not have the new esc. I’m very new to this so there could be something I’m missing but when I hold down the power button and the other one that’s what I see. Make sure your remote is off when you hold them down.
@@markryanoklahoma nope no option, just the letters "ok" which made me think that it did something but idk. Maybe it calibrated the speedometer like someone else had mentioned. I probably do have an older version esc cuz I got my board in the summer.
I don't have a meepo, but when I crank mine cruising over 20mph averaging. Mine dies at about 8-9 miles. Slow cruising I'd hit over 20 mile range. Top speed and hills kill any eboards though lol.
Mini 2 is more portable, but has rougher ride due to small wheelbase and shorter, stiffer deck. So if portability is priority, mini two, if comfort and cruising is priority, v3. They both have the exact same hardware, just different decks.
@@sagesends Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I'm mostly gonna use it to Cruz with my dog lol. He stops and pees on every Bush he sees so I think mini is the way.
You know bro, you can change the units on the remote to mph instead of kmh. Not sure what you comfortable with but you seem to be living in the States so just to lyk.
dude honestly... they're boring. All you can do it ride around the street and carve, maybe some light trails if you have AT tires. There are so many videos of people doing the same shit... range test, review, upgrades, blah blah blah, on every new esk8 that's that same as every other esk8 from the last 4 years. At least with MTB or Sur-Ron I can go ride new trails with new features, in new places, can go a reasonable distance, can ride novel terrain, rocks, jumps, do tricks, etc. Esk8 is great for commuting and last mile transport but they're just not that interesting to me anymore.
The ER has easily double the range, and I've gone almost twice as far. Plus, I go up to ucsc in pro mode which drains the battery in about 4 miles due to the steep hill. So the charge cycles are definitely high.
