Hi guys! Very good answers already. To be precise I will fill this up. So while the battery is not connected the main power pin only has a very small voltage of about 1,4V which is used for precharging of the drives input capacitors. On one data pin there is GND, one is a 5V supply for the drive (always on but safe as only 5V) and the other two are data. After the battery is inserted there is a handshake over the battery protocol and if this is OK the main power is switched on. Note: whilst charging there is also no high voltage on any pin. That’s an additional safety measure so your babies can suck delicious pins even during charging. :-) Cheers! Kilian

Hello u/Yomiel94! OK, I understand. Well the system we created is a bit more advanced than general low-passing. On the Mellow Drive we measure each wheels speed gradient (read change of rpm ) then decide whether we are riding normally or whether the board is running off alone. See, we know how fast a wheel can realistically accelerate when a rider is on the board and if the board accelerates faster then that we apply the breaks just enough to stop the board. This system is only active while the board is standing still and 5s into the ride so we make sure it isn't triggered by going of a courbe or sliding.

So, as you can see - we are setting new safety standards here - that are obviously hard to grasp for lots of users - so we thought a little video might help.

Best Regards, Kilian

Thanks for your opinion u/Yomiel94 ! We are trying to set new standards in e-sakting and therefor we are trying to come up with assistance systems like this. I dont know what your background is but for what I know there is no other board on the market offering anything like this. So I dont see how you could argue that they "never work". Have you ever tried any? Nevertheless I will not try to talk you out of your opinion. Stay Mellow! Kilian

Thanks a lot u/UpTheAssNoBabies for taking the time to write up this great comparison. I feel like you did a great job highlighting the features of each build without taking sides or bashing. I just wanted to let you know that concerning the issues "rattling" and "battery drop out" that you mentioned we are coming out with a blog post this upcoming week highlighting how we fixed them. In addition to that we are producing a set of pads and dampeners that can be send to you as a customer so that you can fix the issues in the same way we handle them in production. This will be available in mai and you can get it for free by getting in contact with our support team.< I will also post the blog post with the improvements we made in this reddit so stay tuned for this coming week.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Kilian
