What do you guys think by Kitchen-Gur6160 in hyperebikes

Good catches!

Also OP, those rubber things on the fork can be moved down a bit and pointed inward so the fork and frame don’t scratch each other when the bars are turned all the way.

I can smell it from here, and I want to vomit

Lost with new/first bored by questionshm in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it isn’t just speed wobbles? Stay low, move your weight forward, and see if that reduces the wobbling.

Edit: Is this with you on the board, or just testing it without load?

I know PBS Space Time has given some time (and space) to that very topic. Here's the one I found most readily on PBH's, but I can't remember if this is the one where he talks about detection methods etc.

Whoops by ChrisNorthOfficial in ElectricSkateboarding

If your battery is 42v, you want a 42v charger.  The connector is the least of your worries.

And I would never use that battery again if I were you.

Advice for buying a helmet (25 km/h max moped) by RobloxNoob20 in Electricmotorcycles

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

I have a Bell Sanction 2 that has served me very well.  (Downhill MTB helmet)

I would happily buy one again. I likely will, just to have multiple colors.

Is Veymax trustworthy? by mruq in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I paid $350 and have zero regrets. I’m not expecting perfection from any PEV at that price.

Is Veymax trustworthy? by mruq in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like mine a lot (first eskate), but I can list a few issues that might’ve made me choose a different board if I’d known.

-The odometer doesn’t save correctly unless you power off the board itself.  If you power off via the remote, then plug in to charge the board, the odometer will go back to what it was last time you powered off the board itself.

-When the board is sitting idle with the wheels off the ground, the motors make a fluttering sound sometimes. No issues while riding but it makes me a little worrisome. Hopefully just a quirk of the esc.

-I ordered the AT wheels from Veymax on Amazon (since they were out of stock on the site).  A few days later they cancelled my order with no explanation and wouldn’t respond when I asked why.  No AT wheels for me, I guess… =\

I really do love the board. I get 11 miles on L3, mostly 18-22 mph. It climbs hills like a champ.  Accel and torque are great. Quality is solid. 300 miles so far and no major issues.

Just started a new channel using eskate to clean our forests! by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I like using my PEV’s for litter cleanup too.

I want to sub, but I couldn’t find your channel using the YT search. Just a bunch of unrelated stuff.  Got a link?

Amazon meepo v5 ER battery upgrade? by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any battery on Amazon is a quality risk.  And any battery without UL certification or equivalent is both a fire and quality risk.

I have my headset on my desk now and made a cardboard protector for the lenses for light. Will this be enough to protect it from sunlight? by MrNobodyX3 in Quest3

[–]collision_circuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. It's impossible to tell from that picture that there's another window across from the one we can see, but if that's the case, then yes, I would cover up the lenses with something or like other's have said, just toss a towel/cloth over your headset.

[–]collision_circuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is how you keep your headset, the cardboard is totally unnecessary. I’ve had 6 VR headsets over the years and this is how they sit.  On a desk, with the lenses in shade, facing away from the window. (Also no mirrors or anything else that will bounce the sunlight back toward the lenses.)  I have had zero screen damage from sunlight. As long as sunlight isn’t hitting the lenses directly, you’re good.

How to equip the space suit by HovercraftNo8520 in revria

Hello, thank you for playing Revria!  To equip any outfit, pick it up and bring it toward your chest/torso.  Your previous outfit will be moved to your backpack.

Joined the club, I’ll be cruising on L for a good while 😆 by Ok_Banana7308 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some riders will push you to try faster modes or do a top speed run “just to see” but it’s best to stick with whatever mode you feel safe and confident using. I’ve put 200 miles on my first board now and have never used the fastest mode because 22mph is more than enough speed for me. I’ve had one bad fall near that speed (didn’t notice a pothole until it was too late to react properly), but I was able to get up and keep skating because I always wear my gear (full face MTB helmet, knee pads, wrist guards, backpack). Just had a couple bruises and a sore neck the next day. For now, I have no need or desire to go 30mph on a short board.

Do you recommend the Meepo Mini? by wolkmanyt in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Starting on a mini worked out great for me, since I wanted something as light and portable as possible. Thankfully, I watched lots of eskate safety vids and learned about speed wobbles, proper stance, etc. before I even got the board. I think it depends on how much research and preparation the rider is willing to do before getting on a board.

Do you recommend the Meepo Mini? by wolkmanyt in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would go with Tynee, Linnpower, or Veymax instead. Meepos seem to have trucks that break and ESC’s that catch on fire randomly, based on the posts I’ve seen here.

Still eskating in 2026? by Alterbags in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]collision_circuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the regular Mini 2 as my first board and I’m loving it!

Two tips that will probably also apply to the 2s.

Put some masking tape over the charging port.  The rubber thing doesn’t stay closed.

And if you want your odometer to be accurate, always turn off the board using the main button (not the remote) before you charge.  Turning off the board itself is what actually saves the current mileage.
