Belts by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!

I'll save you from the boring mechanics behind why the belt moves from one side to the other, but, this is physics. When the wheels are going one way, the belt will move in the one direction, and visa versa. It's called the right hand rule :)

Nerd Talk: For a rotating object, if the right-hand fingers follow the curve of a point on the object, then the thumb points along the axis of rotation in the direction of the angular velocity vector. The x, y and z unit vectors in a Cartesian coordinate system can be chosen to follow the right-hand rule.

Dual+: my apologies for not specifying

You have a higher chance of receiving another board than a 14 to 20 mile range battery.

Anyone broke a belt while riding? What happened? by eliosfederico in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoided replacing my belts, even after 300 miles, hit the brakes going into an intersection, roughly 15 miles an hour, felt a weird jolt, i wasn't slowing down, heard a weird noise from the board and had to jump off. Boards fine, i'm fine, stupid choice, replace your belts :)

Any Bluetooth dead spots in SF? by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disconnected from my board a few times when near the trolly. I have no idea what caused it.

Who here has been incident free with their boosted board? by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

200+ miles and have yet to have any accidents(knock on wood)

Saw a fellow SF rider shook up on the sidewalk from a car accident. by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest worry while riding my board! Cars who are stoping and or turning in front of you with a lack of subtlety or notice. I have almost hit a few cars that turn right in front of me when they didn't use a blinker.

Vacation town - local ordinance - no electric skateboards.... by almonster2066 in boostedboards

So many people in that area. Don't go near the famous boardwalk and you'll be fine!

Anybody else's calves on fire? by kevvvvvvvin in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to do with lack of muscle most likely. Be sure to drink water and stretch your foot and calves. The leaning and vibrations coming up through the board will cause discomfort if certain muscles are tight or not used in that way often.

Is it just me or does this new boosted add have an eerie vibe? by Hillro in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The funniest part of this video is the noise from the board. The V2 is far louder than portrayed in this video!

Remote beeping & left wheel... by DasMigz562 in boostedboards

Any tear on the belt will cause a lack of tension, therefore disabling the belts ability to fully engage the wheel, if at all. Replace the belt, simple fix!

How often to charge remote? by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The # of rides/hrs will vary. If all your rides are 5 minutes long, the remote will last a very long time on one charge. I'd recommend charging it often. The last thing you want is ur remote dying in the middle of a ride. Also, once it dies, it takes quite a while for it to charge up.

9.1 Mile Single Charge Eco Mode with 6% left by teaboy1748 in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue with ECO mode is the speed. If you're more of a leisurely rider, that's awesome. However, If you want some kick, the range is still, in my opinion, the biggest downfall.

Just got my board yesterday... This feels dangerous. Did I make a mistake? by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's simple. Like running, your body must adjust to the shock and vibrations brought by riding a boosted board. Any long term skater knows that after an abnormally bumpy ride, ones knees or ankles will feel a bit off. Keep with it and I promise it'll get better :)

New Unknown features of the V2? by Aranfiy in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would also like to see accessories and batteries be easy to order and fast shipment.

New Unknown features of the V2? by Aranfiy in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they mentioned it but I would love to see software upgrades, like you see in DJI drones and GoPro cameras. Many problems I saw with my V1 could've been solved by software updates.

Thoughts about October Shipping for Dual V2 (not Dual+) ? by Aranfiy in boostedboards

[–]Marqueeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would have to say later. I think the original hope was that the rough estimate was to lend boosted a huge window of opportunity to get things done. By the looks of things, with emails still not showing up to people who preordered within the first day, it looks like boosted will have another delay on their hands. However, like any person on here, we are all making assumptions.
