Mate I agree with you, and this is what happens when someone constantly turns everything into a pissing contest. Every. Single. Time.
I don’t get annoyed because I think he is wrong about his boasting. I have no opinion either way- I love the raptor, I think the boosted it great, I think LHB is art, I think Olin is incredible, I think there are 5 or 6 insanely good one-off builds. I’m happy with the GT- it fits the purpose I bought it for, nothing more, nothing less. I get annoyed because it is boasting. He is in a privileged position and every now and then he chooses to boast. To boast: talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one’s achievements, possessions, or abilities.
I frequent this place too, and when it wears me down, I’m going to point it out.
TL/DR Owning a board doesn’t make you a respected voice. Your actual experience and insight, and how you communicate does. Boasting if of little use in this place. Keep it at home.
Hey fellow enthisiasts. I got a question. Out of the Raptor that were received in the last month, who got a handle with it ? Seems a lot got missing.
On a side note, did anyone get contacted yet about beind a “test driver” and all the 150 club specials ?
For me the Board has almost everything i wanted, the only thing for me is cruise control doesn’t really work that well, but the rest is magnificent and stomps my first DIY build n the ground
Edit: has anoyne been able to accelerate full throttel in both modes? I tried it for an hour straight and got pretty close but sill im hesitant. It is seriously scary.
I had a handle but it seems like many were missing. It’s not that special of a handle, I think you could buy any cabinet handle and screw it on and it would work the same.
What’s this test driver email you got?? I didn’t get anything.
I can accelerate full throttle with a very aggressive forward lean. But what 2 modes are you talking about? Raptor doesn’t have any modes.
HI dont think anyone has been called up for beta testing yet. Not sure whether it will really happen. Unlike Evolve who have a massive budget and send out to all parts of the world numerous boards. Enertion had been doing their own testing of the Raptor and not letting the public review mainly I thInk due to budget and thus boards they could lend out. Im still hoping to be that No.1 Beta tester for the AT version or whatever might come my way. I think @photorph might be another, but hes across the othe side of the world.
What you may not realise? Evolve beta testers would have it for say 3 weeks then have to return it. Now per say as these things are test mules it might brake down after 1 use. I know the GT I got to look at failed and was likely back to HQ earlier than expected. Motor issue.
I think however that it would be great if Enertion let us Raptor owner be the first to tryout their future products as that was part of the reason for the issue with Batch 1 of the Raptor. Internal testing of the throttle was not what most of the public liked. Since then with the batch 2.0 and up, the acceleration and more so the braking has been adjusted. Still has its finely tuned controller, but more forgiving is how it works with the way it delivers it. Just wish it had different modes, beginner, intermediate, and Stig. Not sure whether I made that clear enough.
@michichopf not sure what you mean by full throttle both modes.
As for the handle not all joinery handles will fit the board due to the spacing of the screw holes or the way it gets mounted. Most handles are screwed from behind not from the front. Also batch 1 had the handles painted black which mine came with paint chips on it, so an anodised handle would have been better. This would also have been one of the things that would have been ironed out if on Beta versions. I know there was a discussion as to what the colour was to be. Better as anodised. And I use the handle alot, so if you havent got one on the board i recommend it.
I got notification that my raptor arriving today before 18h I am really happy,
but also with that info came tax info , and i have to pay 304 EUR … quite high amount…
because base price is full price of €1,076.38 eur) …I suggest Enertion to subtract price of battery,(since it being shipped separately ) so we will pay less customs in future, if its possible.
Location is Europe, Netherlands, Amsterdam, tax hungry government…
Anyone who has gotten there Raptor, how loud are the motors? I watched Jason’s youtube video where he compares the BB D+ to the Raptor Mono and it seems like the Raptor is pretty loud.
Sound is like a jet. Not sure about db rating though. I think its good as its bad enough that other people or cyclists dont even know you use the same paths or roads.
Was a bit worried about the loudness to. But after my first two runs Iam pretty happy with it. As djupex mentioned its noticeable, but in a good way. No need for FOC for me. (Maybe Ill try FOC with new VESCs v 6.0 - They should be more reliable and if I get them I probably have the two 4.12 VESCs as spares if something went wrong).
Like this foam gasket and 6 screw improvement, have there been any other upgrades or improvements from this point (April 8th) through today (starting Batch 4) ?
I just read someone got the new remote today with their Raptor…
Since i got my board (1 year), the board has been more unavailable to ride (due to dead VESC) that available.
It’s has been 2month that my last VESC died (idk why…), i contacted the support team which gave me responses but no help in the end.
My board is still unusable, Enertion don’t care, i can’t do anything more than asking their help (i’m under warranty).
I have never been abandoned by a company before (especially a startup), first time i tried international deal, maybe the last (I’m in EU).
Idk if you guys got the same problem as me in term of support? but it looks like that selling board is more important than keeping things good between their clients and them.
I’m so sad of this situation, i just wanted to keep things good, but it’s impossible with the no respect given by them
@onloop In that case you can send me two as well. As your motors have blown 2 sets of vesc in my raptor one. I’ve done the right thing and took it on myself to replace them within Europe. But now once again I’m immobilized cause of burned out vescs. You just owe me that support.
I’ll email support. But you should tell them its important for your raptor 1 customers ( and your raptor 2 btw )
