What maintenance tips did we miss? What would you like us to explain in more detail? What esk8 101 topic should we cover next? Thanks to Sophia for writing the script for this episode and being my hand double! - Check the description of this video for links to some maintenance items. And if you're thinking of getting an electric skateboard, you can use my discounts here: dkwan.com/freestickers.

@MeesDeppe_Official 4 года назад

instead of soap shavings you can also use candle wax! make sure it is unscented regular wax as the scent oils wear down your pivot cup. (applies to soap as well!)

Hub motor maintenance

@mentuemhet 4 года назад

you should not reuse the nuts that screws onto the wheels (or trucks) if you keep removing the nuts for bearing maintenance because the threads become loose. it's best to just put on new nuts so that the chances of the wheels coming off while riding is avoided. i replace my nuts after 4 removals. you can buy these nuts cheaply here: www.tactics.com/independent/genuine-parts-axle-nuts-set-of-4

@mentuemhet 4 года назад

@@karmabasedj8184 the grip tape can be cleaned by using "sanding belt cleaner" available at Harbor Freight stores. here's the link to how it looks like: www.harborfreight.com/sanding-belt-cleaner-30766.html as for humidity, only storing your skateboard inside your house and not getting it wet while riding is the best defense against humidity.

Putting soap in your pivot cup is just a quick short term fix. Silicone grease is the way to go on pivots as well as bushings. It not only lubricates but will extend their life. Silicone grease will also help to prevent rust on axles, nuts, and washers.

@krazyblazespivlog6031 6 месяцев назад

Hey bro, love the videos, so I bought a atlas pro 4wd gear drive, I've put 250km on it for over 2 months, long story short the metal strip that holds the bearings in place has shattered into a million piece. I now want to put the big "cog" drive chain off to clean it (not sure if that's the correct name for it?) But I can't work out how to unscrew it. Exway won't reply Please make a video explaining how to fully service the gear drive, they say to put extra Grease after 2000km but should be able to clean out the old stuff first, makes more sense yes ?

@ej_huff342 3 года назад

what if I wont ride for accouple of days do I charge it fully or leave it at 50-60% battery?

@TommyDrone 3 года назад

Super helpful vid. I saw in one of my instructions that the board should be stored at full charge. Does that sound right to you? Also I saw in the instructions that I should fully charge the board once a month. Again does that sound correct to you? Thanks so much. Love you channel. TD

@DanielKwan 3 года назад

I’m not sure. I know different batteries have different optimal levels for long term storage, normally around 50% but could be higher or lower. I would do what the manual says or ask a user group for that brand.

@strattonmobilecardetailing 6 месяцев назад

Do you know why Boosted suggests to keep the battery always full especially during winter when the board is not used? Does your tip to leave the board at 50% applies to all boards?

@claytonbrandon1433 2 года назад

Hey man really liked your review on the ZEALOTS it's my first skateboard ever. I'm going to be riding on pavement but there is some dirt driveways in the area leading to it so I imagine it's a little dustier than some places how often should I clean and grease the bearings on my wheels

Same way as any board. If the motor cables are preventing you from removing the truck hanger, you may need to take off the ESC enclosure or whatever is preventing the cables from moving.

@sakucae 2 года назад

Do not overcharge and overdischarge The best discharge range for Li-ion batteries is 45% to 75%. ±10% is ok If you are not in a hurry you can choose a lower current for charging (Adjustable DC power supply) The above operation can greatly extend the life of the lithium battery

Is there a preferred place that you buy wheels from? I'm having a hard time finding places that sell big wheels. Skate shops online either don't sell them or are out of stock

@jaredb9523 4 года назад

So leaving my board plugged into the wall for weeks between use is bad? If dont have a weird plug thing whatever u called it what’s best fully charge then plug back in for fifteen mins before using?

@DanielKwan 4 года назад

Jared B If you won’t use for more than a week, leave the board around halfway charged. This applies to most boards. If the board’s manual says to leave it fully charged then do that instead, but that’s not common.

@JustinBrumCarveesk8 4 года назад

The first rule of esk8 is maintenance is required!! Like a car a simple bit of maintance will keep things working 300% better for longer!! Dont skip the small things!

@DarkBloodyFoxy 3 года назад

My most hated and time consuming part of maintenance is bearings. You need to remove them, remove dust cap, wash them twice in special bottle with solvents (better to use gas mask with organic vapors filter)… But this saves a lot of money since you don’t need to spend money for new set and we all know that cheap bearings are really awful.
