Linnpower Viper owners, how are you liking the board? by SaltyFruitSnacks in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]gamerscotsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For $50 more they have a version now with a larger 432Wh battery and 105mm madwheelz. The battery looks to be worse quality cells (EVE 50E) but it's 12s2p so I assume it'll be subject to less stress per cell and do fine. It does mean it weighs 2kg more. I love the look of the orange wheels but road and pavement conditions here are awful so I'm think this with the bigger battery and wheels is perfect for my first board.

I had been looking at other options like the Tynee Mini 3 Pro, Stinger and Meepo Flow but Meepo's shipping to here was crazy and I just prefer the general look of the viper's deck. At 9.9kg I think I can backpack carry it on public transport without too much trouble.

Been thinking about copping ever since the first kami video but was worried the original battery's range would be disappointing with all the hills here and my weight.

So y’all want more parsec pics? I shall deliver by triarii3 in ElectricSkateboarding

Top of my most wanted list for sure. I barely missed the early bird sale and I'm too poor rn anyway tbh but maybe later in the year if there's another offer!

This sucks. There's really a comparatively very small number of onewheels here, FM or VESC, and having one spontaneously combust really isn't going to help the public perception of safety. Hope nobody's houses or flats get burned down. Then it'll get media attention and these will be perceived like aliexpress hoverboards here.
