Doesn’t do hills. At all. Maybe if attack it at top speed, (21mph / 33kmph) it will make it up a 5° 50 meter hill and slows to 5mph.
It’s performance is so lackluster, I’ve only ridden it about 6 times in a couple months.
*I’m planning on building a dual drive top mount with 109mm e-fly wheels or maybe six shooters if I ever make up my mind what I really want aside from gobs of torque and 25+ mph.
In the meantime, I really need to fix this pig of a turd. Questions:
- What kind of lipstick do I need?
- What polish is best?
Seriously though, I know that the gear ratio needs to be changed at the very least.
I think the motor might be a big part of the problem also.
I’ve access to a meter, but don’t really know what values I should be looking for as far as testing it’s resistance.
I mistakenly read the claimed hill climbing estimation the seller had included in the for sale ad.
Specs below. I read it as 15°, but it clearly says 15%, which is around 8.5°. It won’t do that I’m sure. Fwiw, I’m 190 pounds 86kg.
It is what it is, untill I fix it.
Specs pasted from the for sale ad:
Sk3 6364 245kv LG 6s4p 10Ah (w/ built-in BMS) VESC 4.12 Flywheels clones 83mm 78a 3D Printed Enclosure (100% infill of PETG; decently waterproofed for riding in rain but not puddles) Caliber II 50 trucks 2.4 GHz Winning Remote TB anti-spark toggle switch with blue LED on/off button 6S intelligent charger Enertion motor mount 16/36 gear ratio, 12mm HTD 5M belt
~22mph and hill climb ~15%. 12mm belt eliminates belt skipping and adds to increased torque for bombing hills. Range of this bad boy is about ~12-15 miles in one charge.
Wow! Didn’t mean to write an essay, ¡sorry!
Maybe pics will help.
Crap, I’m not done talking yet.
Probably irrelevant, but if you made it this far you must like to read😂
On a side note, I’ve flipped all the components around, because it was losing power periodically when riding it.
The battery pack was spanning across the bms, and the tx and the caps were contacting the enclosure in a destructive way at every bump in the road.
Essentially, it was built upside down IMO.
It’s now right side up…batteries at roadside, esc/bms/tx/and anti spark at board side. No loss of power anymore.
All I hope to achieve is a board i can ride at 15-18mph to the quickie-mart for alcohol and or tobacco, or to get a coffee depending on what time of day it is.
Oh, and make it back home up a couple of wannabe hills. Thanks for reading!
