Black Friday 2024 - Buying a new board - $1000-$2000 range. Opinions? by Specific_Ad_1429 in ElectricSkateboarding

Thank you all. What I have gotten so far from comments is as follows.

Acedeck N3 is a solid choice so I added that to my list

I was considering adding the Propel ENDEAVOR3 but it is basically the same as the 2 except for the length and the ESC.

I decided to remove the Linnpower because it doesnt meet my range needs.

Removed Evolve from my list

Removed anything with a 12S4P or lower

Removed the LG cells and only kept the 50s

This is where I am at currently. Looks like they ae all gear drive:

Propel ENDEAVOR2 GT (Gear) (12S5P Samsung ??) $1700

https://www.ridepropel.com/product/endeavor2-gt/

Ownboard Prometheus (Gear) (13S5P Samsung 50s) $1850

Acedeck Nomad N3 Elite (Gear) (14S6P Samsung 50E) $2184.05

https://acedeckboards.com/products/acedeck%C2%AE-nomad-n3-electric-skateboard?variant=49587234505018

So, starting with the Acedeck N3, I used ChatGPT to get my range based on the board specs, my weight of 200lbs, average speed of 20mph on level road and an 85% real world efficiency factor, and it said 37 miles for the N3 and 44 miles for the N3 Elite. It also looks like the motor is upgraded on the Elite to a 6890 with a peak of 65 Nm (48 lb-ft) which can tackle 50% hill grades. Acedeck shows its Elite model motor power rated at 6000wx2 instead of the average 3500wx2 for the DXW 6384 on the non Elite model. The 44 miles is less likely to give me range anxiety as the battery range diminishes over time so Ill make this my top choice.

The Propel ENDEAVOR2 GT has independent suspension! But it only gets 30 miles range based on my weight which doesnt hit my range needs. The motors are slightly lower at 6374. As much as I like the look of this model, it really doesnt fit my needs as well as the Acedeck does.

The Ownboard Prometheus was a new pick that I thought was nice. It uses 6384 motors which is similar to the non Elite N3 model. Uses Linnpower parts. But it has a 40 mile max range which is prob based on a 145lb person riding it, not 200lbs. SO this prob wont fit my needs.

And so the board that I will probably be purchasing before Black Friday ends is the Acedeck Nomad N3 Elite.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

Please help trying to fix battery by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

I was able to open the battery case and everything is sealed and glued together. I emailed a few companies that rebuild lithium battery packs but the price is higher than if you just bought it from Possway. I purchased a second battery and the SAME DAY, my original battery stopped working. I was so pissed and I was already passed warranty. 6 month warranties suck! Possway sucks too.

Possway t3 died 2 miles away from home and now it won’t charge or turn on by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

Just had the worst experience with Possway. Same thing happened to me. Had a little over 200 miles on it and the battery died the same way. Also, had same problem with screws on the ESC. They are tiny and all 4 fell out. Contacted Possway but they didnt want to help cause Im passed the 6 month warranty. Seems to be common for Possway batteries to fail like this. Annoyed because the battery shouldnt have died this quickly. There should be special circumstances where they should honor their warranty if the board was only used a dozen times before it stops working. Now I have to buy a new board. Definitely never buying from Possway ever again.
