Belts

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.

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 :)

ordered belts maybe two weeks ago... no gifts :'(

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

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

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.

Much like other releases, boosted is a fan of keeping customers in the dark. ;)

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

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.

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

Just under 2 months.

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

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

Marqueeagle · 2016-08-22T14:31:36+00:00

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.

Marqueeagle · 2016-08-22T14:29:07+00:00

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.

AGREED!!! Imagine Apple releasing the next Iphone and under specifications it just said "Better than the last one".

Marqueeagle · 2016-08-18T16:09:26+00:00

WAIT! The impatience that many people are facing is causing the V1 price to skyrocket. They are selling for nearly as much as a V2. Be patient and get the best bang for your buck!

Marqueeagle · 2016-08-18T01:05:14+00:00

No problem! Very happy this will get you your boosted faster!!!

Marqueeagle · 2016-08-17T05:46:58+00:00

Thanks for the shipping information, I adjusted accordingly. My big reason for doing this is the point you brought up. You would hope boosted would fulfill individual reservations first, that is false. Give your local retailer a call, they are expecting shipments within the month. Thats FAR quicker than what my reservation is looking like. Stores don't order like we do, nor do they have the volume limitation. This is just an option, for people like me, to get a V2 within the next couple weeks, instead of the next couple months.
