In this video, Duncan talks you through a new Kit that allows you to put any type of wheel on a Hub motor board ! What do you think, Yay or Nay ? Let us know in the comments ! #eskate #hubmotors #exway
I'm working on making some with some 3 to 4 inch rubber pipe adaptors I've got from Menard's. They slip right on. Also Raldey boards sell some that look like they will fit over normal hubs, that are for their mt v3. Not sure if they are for 90mm or 100mm , either way I plan on trying them with my meepo mini.
@@benbucklerboards a shame because the trucks on the Exway are very good, but on my seekerboard, I don't really care. LOL Glad to contribute in same way. Send us an update if you guys come to change the truck on the exway!
Hello, great article,..i believe it has moved me one step closer...i am a relative newbie to wanting to work on my board so...forgive me for being stupid...ok..i have a new Windseeker G5 electric hub motor board...i am interested in changing my wheels to maybe a softer wheel than the ones that came on it...where do i get the sleeves?...i think i can do it now, thanks to you but i want to make sure i get the right sleeve...thanks, F. London
I love it, great ideas, I agree put black tape around those bright orange wheels as I was about to mentioned but then you guys said before I finished typing ;)
Thanks guys. Been waiting to see a review on this kit since it first dropped. Top work ⚡️👍🏽 Wider front trucks and I’d be in!! Unfortunately riding a meepo so it’s a no go for me. Keep up the good work guys, from the uk 🤙🏽
I'm thinking of putting cloudwheels on my Meepo Mini 2 ER and CW gave me 2 options: 1.) Change front tires only with 105mm CW and keep 90mm PU at the hub. Option 2.) Change front and rear wheels with 120mm CW but there's 'cutting' of the sleeves I don't quite understand. If it's anything like this video I'd definitely do it. We all change wheels for comfort so wider wheels on the back mean nothing.

Yes we've heard of this cutting option, but it sounds complicated and not ideal. Ho many screws are on the hub cover at the back of your board? If it's 5 or 6 this kit should fit
@@benbucklerboards 6 screws. They sent me an email with pictures and the pictures looks exactly how it was done on this video, and easy to understand but the cutting part wasn't shown at all.
@@rufflewater2890 Hey that's strange, the 6 screw kit should work. We though the cutting was only relevant for the donut wheels. Please send a photo to support@benbucklerboards.com.au if you need more help, thanks!

Does this work for meepo v3 and just meepo overall?
I assume the exway doesn't come with black wheels? That would take the orange wheels out of the equation Though i personally would leave the Orange in, i like to look "different" ;)
Anyone use these for all terrain wheels yet, crappy acceleration? over heating? less range? all of the above, would require wider front trucks to balance out the look.
They made DIY cloud wheels to fit the meepo motor .. it would be nice to see a video on how to actually do it, they said it's really hands on and possibly difficult..
The wheels I'm talking about are new..., meepo said you need to cut the old rubber from factory electic wheels and use the guts on the DIY cloud wheels
Hi, thanks for the video. Thinking about doing that for my board. So, doesn't the wider wheelbase feel weird? That's my only concern, but you don't seem to complain about a different riding sensation.
Awesome video bro, just looking a way how can i use cloud wheels on hub motor. But its pretty hard decision after looking the way it looks with the kit. And since its been a couple of months you are using that kit, can you make a video reviewing after couple month usage ?
It is still very good, but now Cloudwheel has come up with the "Donuts" that fit directly onto a hub motor without modification, they will be in stock soon and we'll review them!
The website link is on our channel page! but here you go benbucklerboards.com.au/collections/wheels-tyres/products/cloudwheel-discovery-for-hub-motors-set-of-4 We also have the donuts in stock now : benbucklerboards.com.au/collections/wheels-tyres/products/cloudwheel-donut-105mm-hub-motor-sleeve
It is.. It's the same as slapping on like 6 wheel extension's to make the car far wider.. will definitely stress everything out.. But this is why I bought A belt drive board so I can use my wind and on road wheel's...
You just need to count how many screws go into the hub motor do you can order the correct parts on our website. We've not tried this board before though, there are hundreds of cheap boards out there
Will this work for a 90 mm hub motor from a teamgee H20 mini?? I bought one and only have had it for 3 weeks or so now and I already pretty much need wheels for it.. I mean I've rode it 250 miles in 3 weeks so it is what it is haha but I would love to do exactly what u just did in the video as long as it fits that small of a hub motor.. I appreciate any input on the question because I can't seem to find any replacements for my eBoard and teamgee hasn't been to quick to get back to me about the issue.. go figure
I want to do this with my older ownboard hub motor board but i took the sticker off and there is just a flat plate with no screw holes.. can someone help?? Does anyone have any insight into this??
So does this make any difference with speed wobble? (you guys barely took the board very fast) I just purchased an ownboard mini kt, and the speed wobble is crazy on it, even with the trucks as tight as they can be.
It may help with stability a little bit, but that's not what it's made for. You might want to upgrade your bushings to a harder compound to reduce the wobbles
Do they do these wheels for the meepo board V3? I just bought a meepo board and i didn't realise that the ground needs to be perfect for standard wheels. Desperate to change them. Can anyone recommend anything?
Damn I got excited because that's what I wanted on hubs. Specifically the Exway X1 pro but that just looks too ridiculous and way too expensive. Even if it was positioned where the OEM wheels are to look less silly, that price would still be too much to justify.
Got them on but they’re making a very loud rattling noise. I tighten the bolts as tight as they would go and they loosen by themselves when I try to ride. This sucks.
@@benbucklerboards no unfortunately, I live in Pakistan. I tested them out on the road, they worked fine, only they made noise and the wheel nut on one wheel would loosen a little on its own. I cant think of anything I've done wrong, followed every instruction to the T.
I do believe the issue is the main bolt (fixed screw) that’s put in the middle of the red pulley. It wiggles around too much despite every single smaller screw being as tight as allowed. I think this is leading to the wheel nut loosening.
@@benbucklerboards backfire g3. So I already redid the wheel that was the issue like 3 times but this time I took the stock wheel off completely, put the screws into place then put the stock wheel on and it seemed to do the trick! No rattle and wheel nut is completely secure too. Super proud of myself lol.
It is so wrong, it will break something very fast. It can brake the wheels because no axle support so a lot of load is on the core (not a good idea but especially bad on cloudwheels which have a tendency of breaking cores...), has a chance to break the motors at the 5 screws holding the adapter to the motor, and can also break the truck, or at least bend it. If you want a direct drive, pay for a direct drive. It's that simple.
Hi Dinnye, thanks for your contribution! Our of interest, what do you base your claims on? Are an engineer involved in the design of the components? FYI - all the new Cloudwheels have thicker Abec cores, so we're not seeing any breaking cores anymore. We take your general point, so we'll do some stress testing and report back.
@@benbucklerboards I am not an engineer yet, but I am studying to be one. So I am pretty good at physics. I will explain each point. 1, No axle support from the truck means that your weight is supported by the motors. The motors are supported by the axle. The wheels are far from the axle. This creates a lot more leverage on the trucks to bend or break the axle. On my Wowgo 2S, the axle is already loose and a little bent, and is making annoying sounds after normal usage. I have about 1350km on it. With using a mod like this, you are shortening the time the parts break. With an exway the durability should be better because the truck is forged, but after some time it will still be a problem. 2, The adaptor plate is secured to the motor by 5 small screws, each of those screws are holding 1/20 of your weight if you stand in the middle of the board. The weight force you are putting on the screws is perpendicular to the direction of the screws. Screws were not designed to take huge sideways load. If you are riding the direction on the load is constantly changing, so this won't be something you notice until it's too late. And when it will be too late is when you will be going over speed bumps, potholes, dropping down curbs or going through very rough terrain. The screws will just break once the load reaches a certain threshold. 3, The wheel cores can still be problematic in this application. Even though the new cores are thicker, with using this adapter you halve the contact points between the wheel cores and the pulley. This means that in each contact point, there is 2x the normal load. Essentially, this means 2x the chance of breaking the wheels than on a belt driven board. And the wheels were designed for belt drive boards. To each problem, your weight is a multiplier. The heavier you are are, each point I mentioned is just getting worse. For a kid who is 50kg this mod might be completely fine - but for a fat adult who is 100+ kg and is using full speed and full torque... The loads are just too much, and stuff will quickly break.
Thanks for your concern and very in depth comment ! You make some valid points, but we feel like this kit was designed with strength in mind, and maybe able to withstand such forces. As said before, we'll keep testing and keep you updated !
@@benbucklerboards I hope it's strong enough. But with the record that iwonder has, I am pretty skeptical about their products. I appreciate keeping me updated on the durability :)
@@DinnyeYT Well said Dinnye_YT. Does not take an engineer or a physics expert to see that if you place the majority of weight on five small bolts with minimal threading that you WILL strip or break one of this bolts. Also, it does not take an engineer or physics expert to see that when you move the center of support further from the focal point there is more off camber stress on the five small bolts. Who ever thought of this design was an absolute idiot and no one should do this to their board. No only due to wasting money, but also due to safety. I put the cloud wheels on my Backfire G3 and they are designed to replace the original street wheels. Video was well done, but the attitude of and integrity attack by Ben Buckler Boards tells me I may not want to do business with this location.
Ugh, Thats gonna change the whole feel of the board. you're carve axis will be off. There has to be a better way to do this. Great Video by the way. Im searching for cloud wheels for my Meepo NLS pro with Hubs. Maybe I should just but the Belt version. Frustrating.
Having the orange colour has it benefits... you’re more visible if you ride in traffic or on bike, scooter and jogging path. We don’t get any respect from these types of people who feel skateboarders and EB’ers should not be in their way.
No way it look terrible,, buy the belt drive system if you want to use the cloudwheels, but this? verydangerous on the road, when slalom with car, bike, sccooter all around, just a question of time to hit something with this rear appendice :(

Hi, How much does this conversion kit cost and where can I purchase in the US. Is it available online? This is the board I purchased on eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/133565990769 I thought to buy this first and let my nephew prove that he'll actually use the board before I buy him something more expensive. Will this conversion kit work on this electric skateboard?
I scrolled down more and I saw someone asked about the price for the conversion kit and you provided a link. I think that price is a little too high for me. I may as well get my nephew another board at a later date. He'll just have to deal with the board he has now. Great video though!
