My sink does the same 
Mate, buy yourself a Trampa board. They are by far, the best board on the market! You can choose one of many models, from street to dirt. My Trampa board has a top speed of at least 37mph (iām not gain to go faster than that, but it can). I also have total control over every technical specification that you can imagine (you are able to input your own throttle curves, Amp output, braking input - everything that you can think of can be programmed by you before you ride). The decks are very flexible which makes for an amazing ride. Seriously, why is anyone spending $2k on a board that isn;t a Trampa. GO on youtube and check them out. Up until early this year, the Trampa boards came in a kit which meant you had to build most of the skateboard on your own, but they have become so popular that they now build the boards in the factory and ship them ready to skate. I own a Trampa board but I also own a Evolve GT. The Trampa board is so much more enjoyable to ride that the only time I ever use the Evolve, is when my 2 year old baby girl wants to ride with me (she sits in between my legs which I canāt do with the Trampa because I have a board designed for hardcore off-road and therefore, the battery is on top of the board).

@ripcurldog good to know you love your Trampaā¦but you do realize this is a DIY forum where many of us can build the same if not better performance board with a $1,200 budget
The Trampa mountain board is in a league of its own. Iāve always wanted to build one but donāt really have that off road need

Yep itās game over - ever since Jason threw the rattle and everyone defected to the other forum itās now coming back to bite him!
Damā¦i never done that before and never had problemā¦i just wait for the control to connect and just goā¦lucky i guessā¦
Believe it or not I received an email from enertion complete with tracking number for new drive wheels they are sending me to replace the out of balance ones it came with . Appreciate them sending them and will llbbe helpfull if I find someone I donāt like enough to sell it to
Open your eyes and look thanā¦
Lol youāre funny.

Eyes wide open here
Not being funny at all, and Iāve spent a long time looking and a long time building. Your oversight is that time is the most underrated expense of them all.
Take the price of the components alone and Trampa boards do indeed represent excellent value, thatās before you factor in labour. I donāt know about you, but itād easily be 2-3k worth of my time alone to scratch build something near the equivalent. Research, precurement, assembly, testing, tuning, the list goes onā¦
Look at the cost of a Bajaboard (which Iāve also owned) - that too represents excellent value compared to most DIY builds that even come close.
Respectfully, Iāve speak from experience - I built a Unity based Trampa from scratch with 100% DIY drivetrain and enclosure, cut every corner to save money - I am a competent engineer not a n00b, and the amount of time that was involved in that alone I could have purchased two ready assembled boards for.
But whereās the fun in that? Still - weāre talking about value hereā¦

Yep because they are far more complex than your typical DIY build so more things to go wrong - and to be fair, very few boards donāt have some sort of problem along the way. Even with those issues though, for Bajaboard represents very good value when you also factor in the sheer amount of engineering both mechanical and electronic, particularly f/w development and tuning. There is a mountain of work involved there - literally thousands of man hours, plus the newer models rectify most of the mechanical issues of the previous ones. Weāre all beta testers at the end of the day and tbh Iām surprised they then get away with selling the BB for as little as they do!..

Noā¦ we absolutely are not. Iāve done beta testing. You donāt pay full price for beta testing.

To some maybe, many of us actually get an enjoyment out of building, itās actually relaxing compared to my well paying day job. So to say that MY time is costly makes zero sense to those like myself. I like building a bit more than I like riding.
As far as value, if you donāt have the tools, knowledge or desire to build then. Spend your money on a various premium boards that are out there. But this is a DIY forum so your love of Trampa basically goes in one ear and out the other
