That’s probably the only downside of the forums and Facebook groups, negative stuff usually gets posted so it’s hard to tell what the actual success rate is - not just for Enertion but all other brands.

Best of luck with the factory move and I’ll look forward to receiving the outwheels in due course.

Hey @adrianenertion, Any updates on the wheel production?

I am waiting on wheels/outwheels which were ordered along with my Raptor 2.1’s in Dec 2018… :open_mouth:

At this point in time I have waited so long that the most important thing for me is to receive some wheels/outwheels that are of high quality, durable & with a long life span.

Can we expect all future Crossover wheels/outwheels & standard 90mm wheels/outwheels to be produced in California or to be of a higher quality than the wheels shipped on the Raptors back in MAY 2019?

THANKS!

I received my board new in box Thursday, barley rode it and rode it again today, the battery has gone from 100% down to 40% during my 2 rides and guess what… a massive crack in one of the wheels rendering it unusable!

I’ve raised a ticket etc I would like to know if this will get replaced under my warranty?

They should just put a script on the site so that the date is dynamic and is just calculated

fortnightAway = new Date(Date.now() + 12096e5);
options = {
    weekday: 'long',
    year: 'numeric',
    month: 'short',
    day: 'numeric',
};
formatted_date = fortnightAway.toLocaleString('en-us', options);
document.getElementById("PromisedShippingDate").innerHTML = formatted_date;

In this way, they can always have the correct shipping date listed on their web app! :smiley:

This thread is interesting im over on the esk8 forum amd I’ve dove into bringing back enertion outwheel. For the past months I’ve been sourcing parts resins and liquid plastics to cast. Ive just finally did my first pour. With a 80A PU wheels. The first pour I’ve encountered heat which thickened the last pour for the first wheel. The send pour I’ve done perfectly gotten the timing right on the work time of the Plastic.

I know the Labedas. The manufacturing shop used to be located in Garden Grove Ca. I would see them at the rink all the time at adult nights. I bought proto type proline skate frames from Kevin. I had his little brother sitting in the backseat of my 59 dual cab transporter going down Pacific Coast highway when he was still in high school in HB bouncing up and down in the backseat while it was arching out on the battery underneath him and almost started a fire LOL!! And he was funny as hell! Used to make fun of some chick I dated once . He used to give her so much shit saying how she looked like a dude ( I didn’t see it but what ever it was funny!!!)Their sisters really cool too I think her name was Cheryl or Shirley I can’t remember now. First time I went to the shop was to sell Kevin MR2 seats for his Toyota truck. God, It’s been so many years (close to 30 years now)their dad was a cool dude too Jay used to be one of their employees he was a regular at the rink also he’s probably got Alzheimer’s now from polishing so much aluminum. But seriously they are a highly intelligent family with sharp minds and great products. I’ve owned almost one of everything they made back in the day They make really really good products. They always have. I can’t recommend them enough! I’m willing to bet the failure rate on the wheels they make for you will be next to zero
