Hopefully this isn’t a repost … I remember @chaka announcing the FreeRides were coming back at the end of May. I’m a big fan or hollow-core boards so I was excited to see where he’s taken this. I was browsing OllinBoardCompany.com yesterday and I’m pretty sure I didn’t see the FreeRides for pre-order, but this morning this showed up: http://www.ollinboardcompany.com/product/dual-esc-integrated-power-system-longboard-deck
I saw these too. They look great! Competition for raptor?
To any new people to this sport.
This is a STEAL!!! This board is worth way more than 1800.
Tbh. This is in a whole other class
Looks sick!
He didn’t clarify what gear ratios he is using on that 10s pack. I spoke to him a long time ago, he said the max speed would be around 24-25 mph. Of course you could change the wheel pulley. The range is never ending though…
Wow I thought it would be at least 2k. Such a sick board!
Yea it’s weird, when I asked him about being a beta tester I was told around 2k or slightly higher. This was in the very early stages. But now the pre-order is available for less than that.
@chaka Could you let us know what motor pulley and wheel pulleys you are using? Just curious about gear ratio
Correct me if I am wrong but his original freeride was 12s6p. Chaka was probably able to find better prices for the components.
10S6P nuts
yea it was 12s6p, that probably explains the price drop. But 10s6p is still good enough for most.
I think @chaka has positioned this well. Rather than 12s6p which would push the price up, they’ve opted for 10s6p and a 2 year warranty. I think a 2 year warranty for consumer products is smart, it shows they have confidence in their components and workmanship.
Well I can honestly say that if I was going to buy a complete board, It would be this one.
2 year service warranty? Is @chaka joking? How do you beat it?
Chaka must drink lots of
Stop it you too have the best customer service
Great price, sounds like a GT killer I wonder what the weight on it is.
Yea I asked him that in y 5 things I want to know lol. I would guess over 20 lbs though. Definitely seems like a GT killer, interesting that he went with dual diag.
