I wonder if you sized up the rear pulley in relation to the wheel size if you could get the big wheel benefits without the drawbacks. Making the wheel diameter bigger is effectively gearing it up. If you were to increase the pulley size to get the Motor RPM to Wheel RPM ratio back to normal you should be able to have the epic torque and braking efficiency of the small wheels as well as the better rolling characteristics of the large ones.
Then you dont get the speed. How much do you weigh? This guy looks way heavier than me so id make the conversion. If youre heavy then no because you need the torque. Im oribably 50 pounds lighter than this guy.
@@zachmoir im gonna try and make these. The only problem is that it will bring the pulley size from the stock size of 56 teeth to a massive size of 84 teeth. Most likely gonna need to buy bigger, non tradtional size belts.
You probably lose SO much range if you keep the standard range battery though. With the extended range battery, you range becomes basically what a stock standard range board has. Definitely try going off-roading with these wheels some time. It's a TON of fun to do ride dirt/gravel trails on a Boosted board of all things.
i like having the standard range battery on there for super quick trips! ive got boas on my stealth and another v2 (XR batteries on both) for the longer trips ill prob end up swapping eventually
@@samsheffer true, could be good when you gotta go to and from somewhere super quick. I wonder how much faster you can go if you install these on the stealth. You'll likely break 30 mph.
Typically ride sidewalks where I live, the cracks would hurt the ankles, have broken or sprained them 7 times total...so went to the OneWheel, but these larger tires would be better, would they fit on a V1
They do. They are significantly larger than stock and it looks like a beast on the Boosted Board. I installed mine this week and the ride is much smoother for sure.
Plastic that acts as the bearing? Do they not have the larger sized bearings like the regular pulleys do? That board sits way to high for my liking. Nice video Sam 'Speed Junky' Sheffer :)
The pulley does not act as a bearing. He just mistated in the video. The inner bearing needs to be removed and the pulley fits inside the wheel and acts as a spacer. The pulley and wheel turns together and you only need two bearings. One small on outside of wheel and one within the pulley. Both wheels and pulley kit comes with ABEC 7s bearings pre-installed. Once installed, you will end up with 2 extra bearing spacers and 2 extra bearings.
Looking to buy a new eboard but hesitant to buy Boosted since limited support & might be difficult to find parts going forward. What board would you say is most similar to a Boosted board.
Bring this beauty to European cities, like Prague for example. It's all cubble stone. I bet those wheels might help with not loosing all teeth fillings, but once you fall with that speed...forget being left with any teeth.
Nice wheels!It's too bad Boosted got rid of the loaded decks.Big mistake.I don't think too many people like that composite deck on the new boards.Nothing beats the bamboo😔.I know two people who got the stealth and they both returned it.They still prefer the v2 over anything.
Dude Sam I'm not gonna lie I'm a little worried about you man going through Manhattan with the speed, I guess your experienced but just be careful man, but put those on your stealth😂
Oh man this video is 2 years old sadly, just found it. Wanted to offer you to make a video with more of direct comparison: breaking distance test, acceleration test, battery range test.
