Enertion Raptor Third(?) batch Info roundup

I’ll take it off your hands buddy :slight_smile: lol sounds reasonable, I guess I’m just saying we’re in the final stretch. Seems the forces have played against you quite a bit, and now they are asking you to hang on tight. Thankfully you have a board to ride which most of us do not have at the moment but are still patiently waiting on…

The suit looks sick, definitely wouldn’t want to wear leathers though. Even in the winter…that’d be for pure leisure riding, not practical to walk into the office with it for me lol

My battery is shipped with shipping info, though I got a Space Cell Pro 4 :slight_smile:

Haha no I’m not giving up my LHB board ever, that’s an awesome board. I’m gonna hang on tight. No reply from enertion yet, but I got the battery update. Just not a shipping notification.

What plans do you have for videos with the raptor? I’m trying to make more videos, but kind of running out of ideas about what to do. It’s hard when you’re the only person filming and trying to ride.

I have quite a few plans :slight_smile: mainly range testing, torque tests, braking distance, hill climb ability (shit ton of hills to test on), demonstrating the kick tail, basic owner tips, comparisons to the BB and GT, top speed test, and well I could go on forever lol lot of this stuff has been answered but none of it has been proven with good video evidence (& aggregated into one channel) so I plan on doing exactly what did for BB in essence except oriented around performance first, other stuff second.

I have a buddy that will have the GT and can help me film some stuff, but really all you need is an action camera with a helmet or body mount in terms of filming. For certain stuff I will be taking my dslr and tripod to get some shots. Other than that I will be making some more BB Mods like videos at home and make use of this slider and expensive video head I got : p

Hahahaha, indeed! I’ve had some troubles with my Raptor, and always fixed it myself because I’ll be damned before I’ll give up this board and wait for service! Jason has been great, but this board has made me very impatient about getting my next hit. :smiley:

Hub motor AT? Why not belt drive AT, that would give more torque and for AT that’s what you need most.

Also did you get any tracking info yet for battery or raptor? I have not still, and no reply from enertion support yet.

Worry about waterproofing it. I know this’ll sound weird but I want to build a AT board that I can use in light rain or light snow. I want to use this board when I can’t ride the Raptor.

Ya I got the tracking, but I think you’ll probably get it by this weekend or upcoming Monday or Tuesday. Don’t worry, you’ll get it.

Rain and snow?? That’s craziness. I wouldn’t ever take a board out in rain or snow lol.

And yes my battery has shipped!! Thank you enertion. I saw the tracking number now, it will be here tomorrow.

hey @onloop, where are the batteries that were forgotten at the factory?

Yesterday my Status changed from "awaiting shipment " to "awaiting fulfillment " … Does anybody know what that means?

same here, id’ say expect shipment to BEGINN end of this month.

did you email [email protected] ?

I did, but got got no answer yet. So i thought if you are on right now ill just ask here.

we are in the process of trying to sort out about 150 batteries that are scattered all over the world… it has been way more difficult than we anticipated. Some batteries are still in china waiting to be shipped, some have reached the agent in the final destination country and need to be dispatched, some are still being manufactured, some got sent to the wrong place/people… It’s incredibly complex.

For example: just getting one battery consignment into the US involves an agent in china who collects from my factory, one to collect from the airport in person, in US, as goods are sent via special route for dangerous goods, so needs a special courier to collect at airport customs & deliver to the US distributor, then finally a ground-based courier service to deliver to end user. (similar scenario for EU countries)

It’s actually ridiculous… the last shipment into US took 5 weeks instead of 5 days. They never gave me tracking for it until it arrive in the destination country. So it was weeks of not knowing anything.

To make it worse i have had people cancel orders whilst the battery is in transit, so over the last week alone i have had batteries arrive at people’s house who already got refunds… maybe $1500 worth of goods. let’s hope they are honest & return it back to me.

Now It is 11pm here so I can’t check into this for you, also to check the status i need lots of details & it can take a few days to locate the consignment as i need to talk to many people who probably don’t work on weekends, also i don’t know who you are based on your user id, so i don’t think it is great to do this here. You really need to email us again asking this question, If we don’t reply email again saying URGENT. I am sorry we are trying our best to be quick.

We are in talks with specialist 3PL providers to improve this system, it’s just taking lots of time.

Also note, it is Friday night here, we don’t work until Monday

If you want you can PM me and maybe over the weekend ill try to find info for you.

No hurry, i just wanted to remind you of it because i am waiting for 4 weeks now (since i got the rest of my board). And because my order state on your site is completed, which it isnt. It was Order Nr. #2281

first thing on monday i am doing one last final review of the last two weeks worth of organizing & logistics… basically to check that everyone has been accounted for.

we believe we have got everything back on track as of today… but one last check to be 100% sure will be required, we ran our of time today.

there are at least four separate entities involved in each delivery of a battery and none of our systems are linked and none of us are in the same time zones… nightmare.

So, thank you for your patience… It was never meant to be this difficult…

Hey Jason, have you guys started shipping any Raptors yet? Or did commencement mean you’ll start at the end of the month?

I know the struggle and i really appreciate your work, i just not wanted it to get out of sight.
