You got me wanting more speed I donāt need lol. What do you need to go over 40mph for?

Lies! False news! I was making sure the slower guys like Boosted and Evolve stay with the route.
But I heard someone took a cab instead 
The new Kaly 2.0 is up for pre-orderā¦ I was waiting for it but bought the LaCroix to help out a friendā¦You better believe Iāll be getting a Kaly 2.0 - LaCroix owners that weighed 100 pounds less than me were in the same boatā¦ It was sadā¦ Every other board was moving under itās own power except the LaCroixsā¦ Peeps can laugh it off or go into attack mode or even move this thread but itās what happened and I was just relaying it to @Archā¦
Mine is called LaKwameā¦
We cannot understand it because we have made different experiences. Dual 6374 190kv motors with a ~1:4 reduction on 200mm tires have plenty of juice!
The only bottlenecks are the conservative settings and using liion instead of lipos. It seems as you want a lipo + vesc 75/300 power rocketā¦ lolā¦
Need that extra zoom, the more zoom the better.

You had to be there thenā¦ and as I stated before this was not a Raceā¦ It was a Rideā¦ total course was only 57milesā¦ if you can get 30 miles per full charge then that means you should only have to charge once fully during the rideā¦ I made sure to charge at every oppourtunity I got and still had to get towed on two occasions. I even shared an Uber with another LaCroix rider (DSS60) for a stretch along the highway cause both of us was completely out of juice. While in the uber we passed another LaCroix (DSS60) that was being towedā¦ (This was the rider that got into the accident and had to go to the hospital) To add insult to injury there was a guy who was kick pushing and he made it to a couple of checkpoints before me cause I couldnāt go faster than him kick pushing.
The Ride was fun and challengingā¦ instead of being in front and having to stop at each light on Prospect Ave I would hang back and coast to the light to conserve and try to time it so the light would turn green before I came to it. I did a lot of coasting trying to make it to the endā¦ Being able to get 14-15 miles per charge is a no no because then you will have to wait 4-5 hours for a full charge again to get another 14-15 milesā¦ we only had a limited amount of time between stopsā¦ and thatās if you made it there with the packā¦ so do the math yourself
15 miles (5hours) 15miles (5hours) 15 miles(5 hours) (15 miles) = (60-57 miles) 15 hours charging!!!
Who in their right mind wants to spend 15 hours chargingā¦ hence I got towed twice and took an Uber once. After the Ride I took a train uptown with two other riders and got towed to my friends car and driven home afterwards. Another rider on a DIY board got out the car at my house googled his location put on his helmet and rode another 15 minutes to his houseā¦ These are the FACTS!!!
Note: That soft cutoff seems to occur around the 60% mark (Battery) for meā¦ This is boosted board speed 18-22mph max.(Youāll know it when you want to go faster and realize you already have the throttle pinned) 
When the board is dead it shows 30-25% Battery Remaining. This was during August when I first received the boardā¦ These numbers are via the Xmatic app which was called TestFlight back in Augustā¦ I think a lot of people believe they have 50% Battery left when in Reality they have already hit the soft cutoff and are only 20-25% away from being completely dead. Now if the board is dead at 25-30% battery then why does it take 5 hours to charge fully???
Maybe my board is defectiveā¦
This is all very simple.
A 10s4p 30q pack has 430āish WH at nominal voltage. At 30 WH per mile at 100% efficiency (I usually calculate at 85) you get something close to work.14.3 miles out of that pack. Remember, thatās perfect conditions.
If you want 30 miles you need a 860 WH pack. If you want to charge faster, get a 4 or 5 amp charger.

Honestly thereās nothing to argue over. Either you change soft cutout limit yourself or you get a faster charger. I have mine set at 3V soft 2.8 abs cutoff to get the most of the capacity out of the cells. honesly tho. production board are not made to do 57 miles, and at no point LaCriox ever adviser for that amount of range. If you want that extreme range you shouldāve done the math before entering the Ride.
Iām running 13s4p 30qs, and gets about 17Wh/mile in BaeSk8 grouprides. so I get about 561.6* 85% (capacity under load) * 85% (efficiency) /17 = 24ish miles per full charge.

So Ericās board, your Bulldog, Boostedoās Lacroix, a Kaly and Edwinās board. Is that right? Iām willing to bet all these except boostedoās have Kaly 6 amp chargers. Well maybe not Eric cause he has a 13s. But like Alex said, boostedoās voltage cutoffs are probably too conservative and his charger slower so his battery pack would be less strained and would take a longer while before having to be replaced. Kinda like how boosted has a 199wh āeffectiveā battery pack when itās actually 200+wh and has a 2a charger when Iāve seen SF people charge their boosteds with 4a just fine.

I was on Alpha 12s10p top mounted. Obviously a fast charger would mitigate that problem but at the end of the day, a 12S on the LaCroix would be better than a 10S, was my original point.

Not gonna lie this is a dumb thread. Youāve been told probably whatā¦ 8 times. The problem you havenāt isnāt the board you got. Itās YOU, you expected 25miles+ on a 50 cell board running pneumatics.
This aināt a great example but Iāve got a 10s5000mah board. It can get 20km if Iām conservative. Now your is what 10s15000mah? So letās say you could get 60km range. Now Iām on urethane, itās also known that pneumatic wheels decrease range by 40- 60% so letās assume you could get 30km of moderate riding. Now my batteries are also set at the lowest cutoff, your are not.
Letās just leave it there you should be getting anywhere between about 25 - 40km of range, lastly I weigh only 60kg. (Yes, I am one of those midget leprechaun 
)
Basically what Iām trying to say is you should be getting 30km of range or 18ish miles, but you weight almost double what I do, and it was very cold. I think the way it performed is how I would expect

I was charging at 8.7 amps lol, I charged for like 20 mins and went to play smash and then took a nap afterwards. And even after I woke up @BOOSTEDO still hasnāt fully charged smh
P.S my board is not 1:3, its 18:60 so around 1:3.3
