Customer service was exceptional. But where is my stuff?
Plug and play upgrade for an old Evolve Carbon GT.
Remove the old battery, BMS and ESC. Make a 3D printed adaptor plate. Plug motors and hall effect sensors into the Ownboard ESC. Bind the remote. Done.
Lots more torque and control. No issues with the remote dropping out of connection.
Just annoying that I cant store the direction, you have to change it each time you power up. (The remote powers up in reverse for this upgrade).
Also the hunting around whatever speed range you are in is really annoying. The top speed 'hold/limit' really surges a lot.
Lastly the top speed is 15.2mph in 4. 12mph in 3. 10mph in 2 and 8mph in 1. I guess there is an issue with the hall or motors matching the new ESC.
Still worth the upgrade.
I have an own board m1 mini this was my first eclectic skateboard and to say i impressed is an understatement. after putting over 790 miles on one battery it was was done more than reasonable. I use this board for daily errands . the power is amazing i get about 9 miles from a full charge very reasonable considering i weigh 230 LBS. i sure have put this board through some rough situations that should have killed the board but didn't. I would love to see regenerative braking on some of ownboards more budget friendly boards
Works well. I had to email the company because it is loud and hot. But they said it should sound like a coffee maker and that is exactly what it sounds like. So far it works just fine though. The old charger I had was some other brand and worked for about a year before it melted into oblivion. So far so go (2 months in) on this official charger.
It’s been well past the 40 days of shipping and I still don’t even know when it’s supposed to get here. I was sent an email that I should know when it will be arriving 4 days ago but I still don’t know.
We finally upgraded to a production board with real power vs the smaller hub motors. She carves like a dream. The local kids flagged me down to give it a try.
Just bought in case.. I have many own boards.. thx
I was very disappointed with my remote. There was malfunctioning immediately once connected to my board. I’ve spent at lease 3 instances providing all requested information and trying to get support, to which there was 0 help. Definitely one of the worst customer support experiences I’ve had.
