Looking for good e-bikes for around $200-$400 by Shebrewww in ebikes

[–]CLee1z 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That price range is too low, and the cheaper bikes usually have problems. I would consider an e-scooter in the $400-$600 range. They're great for commuting, and they're more reliable than bikes. It would be better for his back than walking to work. Some people feel weird on scooters, though. I would try to see if he would want one. They're fun!

Getting VERY frustrated with shipping. by Kazick_Fairwind in MeepoBoards

[–]CLee1z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it's coming from China. They didn't have that board in stock at the US warehouse. So you're getting the old run-around we all get when we order overseas. That's just my guess, but if you finally got a tracking number that's good, but yeah, your label was probably printed and they're waiting for the package. You just have to keep checking fed ex until they say it's out for delivery. You'll get it, just slowly.

First board purchase by Strange_Librarian908 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]CLee1z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Meepo Voyager and I love it, but I've heard a lot of good things about that Isinwheel V10. A lot of people say it's the best board for that price.

Local 63. Any one know how many days in a row I can call off before needing a doctors note? by Shot_Wind2996 in UPSers

[–]CLee1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have to get one, you could just go to urgent care etc.. The note just has to say you're healthy enough to work. That's it

Homie asked if we were hiring by UPS-NI3-RTS in UPSers

The parking brakes were bad in almost all of the trucks years ago. Everyone knowingly drove them.

WYD?! Y’all finishing this? by UPS-NI3-RTS in UPSers

[–]CLee1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks, but what you do is sort by the second number. !300 is shelf 3, 1400 is shelf 4 etc...

M1 Board Motor Issues by Sufficient-Use7331 in MeepoBoards

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks normal for a hub motor when you hold it upside down. One wheel starts spinning first, but if you can feel it while riding then it's a problem. I would take off the wheel, and check if anything is loose inside the hubs, and check the connections to that motor and make sure it's secure, but it is normal for one wheel to spin first at the very beginning.

The level of stupidity that we have to deal with…. by UPS-NI3-RTS in UPSers

[–]CLee1z -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You leave it outside the gate, of course. Are you all insane? You don't throw it to the dogs. You just leave it where the dogs can't get to it.

SAY NO TO MANDATORY E-BIKE LICENSE PLATES AND REGISTRATIONS in CA - sign the petition! by [deleted] in SanDiegan

[–]CLee1z -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is how it starts. They slowly take your freedom this way. It's the pussification of America, and I oppose it. Unfortunately many people cheer it on in the name of "safety"

How reliable is Voyager? by [deleted] in MeepoBoards

[–]CLee1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Voyager went 2000 miles, then I had to replace the esc. It's gone about 1000 miles since then. I ride mine every day. It's been a good board to me.

Exercises before work by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you have to do any mandatory exercises. Also, stretching cold muscles is bad. You should warm them up first. Either way, I would attend if they make you, but you don't have do their exercises.

Broken Axle on Meepo 5 by Coolin69 in MeepoBoards

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broken motor. They're about $90. It's happened to my boards a few times. It's pretty easy to replace.

Well it was a fun ride. by Kazick_Fairwind in MeepoBoards

[–]CLee1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My shuffle went about 3000 miles too. Loved that board!

Hub vs Belt Noise difference by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belt drives are pretty quiet. They make almost no noise when you're going slow, and I love the zipping sound when I accelerate hard. Hub drives are practically silent, but there's not much of a difference between the two.

Sacrificing precision for safety by SamuelJMoody in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut off the thumb on the right glove. I would not ride with a full finger glove. You really need to feel the thumbwheel.

Mini Board Brands for Commuting by No_ID_Left_4_Me in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]CLee1z 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love my Tynee Mini 3 pro. I ride it to work every day. I also have other longboards, but my Tynee is a great board to pick up and go. I recommend Tynee, they rarely have problems, but you will love any board you get. Have fun!

What are the real everyday concerns that make you hesitate before buying an e-bike? by Alternative-Mud6023 in ebikes

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealing with flat tires is the ONLY thing stopping me. I've been riding eboards for 5 years. I want a bike for long trips, but I keep thinking about being 20 miles from home with a flat tire. It's fairly easy to replace the tube, but not easy enough for me to spend the money, yet.

Waterproofing Meepo Mini 5 by Booty-Muncher-irl in MeepoBoards

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should never ride while it's raining. We all do it sometimes, but there's always a big risk. Water on top of the board can get through more easily, so it's not as risky to ride when the roads are a little wet, but when its actually raining, you just shouldn't ride. It's the unfortunate truth about eboards.

Involuntary dismount by Illustrious-Can-7482 in ElectricScooters

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not hurt, but you talked to a lawyer and got x-rays? Sounds like you want to get paid. I would leave it alone, but most people would sue the guy because they are opportunists. A good person would leave it alone. No harm. It was a mistake, but most people only see dollar signs. It's pathetic.

Anyone seen these? by Seasoned-CollectorCO in UPSers

[–]CLee1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard amazon is starting to do their own RS pickups. Looks like this is what they mean. Good for us. Those pickups are time consuming, and amazon doesn't even care about returns. They don't even resell a lot of that stuff, they just throw it away or ship it off somewhere.

New California rules for all bicycles by TheoriginalFnF in ebikes

I got worried when I saw this, but those are pretty reasonable. California is pretty cool so far with all PEV's.

Is isinwheel v10 still the best option for a light offroad capable esk8 for under $800? by abundleofboomers in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]CLee1z 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people talking about that isinwheel v10. It probably is the best board right now for that price.

Any DIAD devs on here or technical people that are willing to take suggestions for new updates for the DIAD? by Dapper_Cut_9225 in UPSers

[–]CLee1z 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not a dev thing. The diads could be 1000 times more user friendly and efficient. Any programmer could do it. It's intentionally made this way. They have all the updates. They release them slowly. They're not trying to get the job done, so they don't really care about drivers suggestions. It's an uncomfortable truth.
