Thought about a really long time…
Was not that happy to buy something RTR, normally building stuff by myself
Last impuls i needet was @okp last video from his progression on his Leif
Awesome Bro, you got my biggest respect for this!
Got my hands on a nearly brand new Leif, it was sold by a guy who dont get on with it/ short on time…
Anyways i shoot the bullet and it arrived on Thursday
Dont mounted the Freeboard bindings actually, better for getting on with it… easier to jump off
Yeah what should i say… i expected that it gets hard to get on with it!
But it was harder in the end that i thouht
The first Battery felt like balancing on a piece of soap…
After the third Battery i get an idea of it…
Man this thing ROCKZ as hell, totally felt in love with this multi directional drif and sliding machine
What i dont liked from beginning was the fact that the countersunk screws arent sitting in a countersunk just screws flat on the Top, looking out of the Deck really ugly
228mm length belt in this size are not available at my known sources in Germany…
Ordered some 225mm ones from “mädler” right now
Starting in my kitesurf holidays on the eastsea tomorrow, ordered the belts to the camping place
Hope for a direct fit of the slightly shorter Belts to get on this amazing board again really quick
Looks good. What power motors do you think they use on their boards? Cool closeup pics, first time I had the chance to look at more detailed pictures of its parts.
Freebording is super tricky at first but you’ll just suddenly “click”, kinda like riding a bicycle. Having the bindings on will also make it much easier. You need them for fine edge control.
Nice review. I’ve wanted one of these since I first saw them. I’m surprised (and not surprised) that you broke things in such short order, but at least they’re easily fixable mechanical items and not electrical. I’ll be curious to see how this board holds up for you over the long term.
I’m picking up a used Freebord this weekend, so starting slow and unpowered might be a good idea. I’m also toying with the idea of hooking up a tow rope to my drift trike and having my daughter tow me around.
Oh, and I’ll start saving my money for the soon to be released
E-Toxx (LEif-Toxx™) "All-Terrain Motorized Caster"™ Drive System
aka,
"A-ToMiC Drive"™ System

"E.T.'s AToMiC Propulsion System"™

"E.T.'s AToMiC Power System"™
I’m thinking tank treads or something like MBS AT 100mm wheels for the caster wheels and little pneumatic wheels (@psychotiller?) for the outrigger wheels. Would this even be possible?
Hey Guys,
sorry for late reply… chilling in my holidays and have really bad internet connection
Yeah i will do from now on more regulary.
What do you have modified? I saw you made an new and nice CF Lid, anything else?
Did you have a thread on your esk8.fr ?
Thanks for the link, its a good tutorial for sure…
Still riding it without bindings, but will add soon
Thanks mate, yeah unfortunaly i´m so good in destroying parts (-;
HaHa great names buddy, but this shit is patented from Leiftech… but great idea anyways!
In the meanwhile my replacement belts arrive on my campingplace
just screws flat on the Top, looking out of the Deck really ugly
Was just thinking about using a tow rope.
