so I was in my second group ride, mostly boosted board riders aka only me non boosted in downtown LA, I wanted Edgar to try my board up hill really good rider better than me . He has ridden my board and gone up to 40mph on it and now other person that was riding my board that crashed he road my board for a while went up to 30 on it and was chill thought not much of it accidents happen and no one got hurt but my 4wd is totaled completely
after inspecting 4 motors are destroyed magnets
2 vesc pcb completely shattered and other 2 ripped off the phase cables from pcb
battery only damage I can c is one battery is completely bent
The dude fell and was use to his board and pressed down on the remote when he fell launched my board 60 hitting the concrete pilar
Just fell off? Looked like he wasn’t used to the deck/bushings/power and just over balanced, sorry about your board dude…
I don’t even let people ride my gravity decks, I tell them the steering geometry and bushings are tuned to my weight/stance & ridding style and anything more than walking pace would be dangerous.
It might be nice if the VESC could do some sort of acceleration and amps cross reference. eg; Limit further acceleration when high acceleration and a low’ish amount of amps are detected (like when you aren’t standing on it).
Looks like they grabbed a stack of acceleration after coming off.
no the battery pack was sent in for repair and it’s not even 2 weeks old @barajabali
that hit made the battery fly out
not sure if fixable it’s not battery fault or anything
it’s user error
That really sucks and it is heart breaking to see the damage on the board. My sympathies for the board itself. I just can’t stop thinking though…damn… just imagine if that pillar would have been someone’s foot!! or this may be far fetched but what if it was a very young kid. That is scary stuff!
