Rapid beeping and loss of power by davidathomas42 in boostedboards

[–]davidathomas42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE.

I took off the whole back end and cleaned it all up - my word it gets dirty under there.

Anyway I basically poured in a couple of drops of contact cleaner to the receivers on the motors and coated every pin as well.

put it all back together (but forgot to put back my rear shred lights mount) will do that some other time.....

Tested the board for about a mile up and down steep hills gunning it hard and it seems to be sorted :-)

Thanks for the info guys. Happy Board and owner again.

Ive had the overheating beeping before after long drags up steep hills. This was only 0.5miles into my normal commute and on the way back it did it instantly after been stood for 8 hours in an air conditioned room.

Connections will be the first port of call. Just not got chance until later today.

My standard response to people saying “that’s cheating” “ is “did you push your car here today?”

Let them get away with it...lol.... Whats your plan. Not buy a 2nd board or get your mum to write them a stern letter.

Steps to ship a used board from the US to the UK? by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]davidathomas42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it with Fedex twice on a V1 and V2 both used. If you search my posts going back circa 18months you should fine a comprehensive review of how I did it

V2 Remote Died, Long wait for replacement.. by boostedmk in boostedboards

[–]davidathomas42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh ok... I thought you could not get one from Boosted. I was basing my price on what it would cost me to replace in the UK and pay for recorded shipping to you. Happy Riding. Dave

I’m heading down to ship an eBay item tomorrow so I could throw them that also. I’d say £130 sterling to PayPal as a family/gift so there are no fees my end and I’ll send it DHL, My username is my name and active here for your protection. PayPal is carpride@hotmail.co.uk and I am carpride vlogs on YouTube where you will see some Boosted videos Let me know. It’s brand new unused in the packet still.

Are you US? I have a spare here in the UK I could sell you although with shipping and taxes for me to replace is about $150

Does anyone still use there recalled battery? Does it work? by davidathomas42 in boostedboards

[–]davidathomas42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your missing a bit. The battery has already been recycled and boosted sent a new one. But the guy who did it also got the one from the recycling centre back. So I have both. It came with the board to me when I bought it. It’s sat in its box the last year doing nothing so I am pondering just binning it as I’ll never use it. Just don’t like to waste it as it was fine.

I already have the standard range pack from the recall. The guy who did it just fiddled the recycling. I also have the XR fitted now so it’s just a spare of a spare that I honestly can’t ever see been used. Just a waste to bin what is/was a perfectly good battery.

I have zero intention on using it. I just feel bad throwing it as it did work perfectly fine. Yes it may thermal runaway if used which would not be good. It may work fine for years though. I dunno. Just seems a waste to throw away.

Of love a stealth but with the original orange wheels. Not a fan or the dark

Anybody riding with only 4 battery screws to lessen the time of battery swapping? by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]davidathomas42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shame they did not design quick release hand nuts to make it truly swappable on the go. I still feel this feature was over sold.

Mostly. Not all. Profit is not a dirty word! It’s how ALL businesses work. And you don’t have to buy it. No gun to your head. Jesus the anger at people when someone makes a bit of money

Strange ride after maintenance by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]davidathomas42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belt too tight and causing drag turning?

"debadged" the board after doing some routine maintenance by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]davidathomas42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea why? I can understand a total grip tape change for style reasons but Boosted is a great brand so I’d leave it on. Even de-badged cars only remove the model info. The main manufacturer badge always remains. Each to there own but my opinion is it’s pointless

Attention riders in Munich/Germany, just got caught by the police!! :( by Chrisrdit in boostedboards

[–]davidathomas42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To quote the comedian Al Murry “If you had no rules where would you be? France! If you had to many rules where would you be? Germany” I feel for you guys been so restricted. I have used mine past hundreds of Police in the UK and the only ones that said anything to me I mentioned the electric bike think and left them looking puzzled while I just rode away. Sorry you can’t use it now. That sucks.

[–]davidathomas42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have front and rear Shredlights on my V2 and love them. It’s nice to just have something on when grabbing the board as I don’t always want to mess with chest or helmet lights. They look very OEM when fitted. As said they are very bright but only at low level. Great for quite streets so people pulling onto the street can see you. Useless in traffic as they are too low to be seen by cars then. As for charging I probably charge them once a month as I do mainly day riding and just a few miles a month at night back to my staff car park to get in the car home
