![[Free Ship] OWNBOARD E-Skateboard W1(38") Deck(Assembled) - ownboard](http://www.ownboard.net/cdn/shop/products/20190315135736_800x.jpg?v=1552911729)
Used this 10s4p battery for my DIY
I love the build quality and the power of the board, the only strange thing is that some of the screw can't be unscrewed with the T-Tool, perhaps it has to be unscrewed on both top and bottom, a minor issue, other than that, just amaze-balls
Works great when driving on straight dirt roads but it has trouble sometimes when I start from a bumpy point. I have to sometimes move the board off of a little bump because it doesn't have enough torque to go off of if from 0 mph.
It can go up an incline but only at about 6 to 8 mph. It has some trouble even though I only weigh 155 pounds
Never got lost in shipping
To be fair I have used it non stop, long rides and short rides. Nearly 800km. In these 2 months. The delivery option with DHL was perfect, it’s an a extra
Cost but I received in within 3 working days.
I ordered, and it’s been long past expected delivery, I’m talking over 14 days, customer service just says it’s “somewhere and on the way”. Trying to get refund. Smh 🙁
everything i can advise is in description
pictured is not the last version, i tried stuff and just put the battery closer to the front truck, better stability. This is the "test" setup, and, i have tested, i'm convinced.
I had troubles finding what product would be the best for me on the internet : was looking for belt drive for using orangatang wheels, sufficient range, and safety
i'm do downhill longboarding at a european competitive level so i just would not buy a flexy, flat, big board. I user an old Jet board, 9.5", 84/90a front and -5° 88/97 back
took only one slam because of a wet patch i did not see (helmet is MANDATORY whatever your skill)
did 280km, 70km/h downhill seems to be close to the limit of the trucks even on a big board, and my average speed on this is around 30, so 2minutes per kilometer. Super handy for commuting, super fun, you can have downhill like full grip runs almost anywhere, easy 45 km/h on the flat...
only thing i'm a little worried about are the belt, because i may be way more brutal with my board than most reviewer on the web and it tends to touch rocks and big cracks. I'll get bigger wheels as soon as one fails, will fix the issue.
Let me know if i can send you a clip or two, @maxime.moineau on instagram/youtube
And good work putting an insert for the back truck, few knows but... yeah i don't have any downhill setup without inserts or sphericals. Just better.
Would advise, but take it easy it goes fast enough to get hurt !
May do a review some day but the weather in France is not that good this season.
The board's specs and features perfectly matched what I read on the site before purchasing. I even measured my last trip cruising around SLC and I can confirm that it got a little under 19 miles in range. the battery will obviously wear out over time but the fact that it got more than the advertised range is awesome! If I'm ever in the market for another electric longboard I will certainly come back to ownboard.
If I did have one criticism though, They claimed to have boards waiting in their warehouse in California but they didn't have any of the W2 pros so it took significantly longer to arrive than they advertised at check out. This wasn't a massive issue however as It's currently winter and I'm not the type without patience.
My experience with Ownboard started with a Zeus Pro Carbon that I bought on Facebook for a decent deal with trading a one wheel (not my thing). I bought that board with 200 miles on it, it now has over 3000 miles on it (no joke). This new Prometheus is insanely comfortable, thanks to ownboard and the other companies involved with the production of this board. Keep this trend going!
Again...Thanks!
