Do you have the 16t pullys on it?

Yeah i just got launched up the steepest hill i could find after swapping to the 16t problem solved

I canā€™t get the App to connect to my board. Any reason why or method on how to make the connection? Is it because the latest version of the app?

Okay, got a flat on the 4th day. Watched the Evolve video about taking the tube out.

Iā€™m having a bitch of time trying to get it patched. Iā€™m using the glueless patches and they seem to not do the job well.

There was more than one leak on the tire too.

What are the best options for getting new tubes? Order them from Evolve? and BTW how are the Evolve pneumatic tires? Or is there a better option for getting new tubes? Options for ordering them from Amazon?

Before reassembling the tire on the wheel, put tire liners it work like magic on my bicycle. It protects the tube if a sharp object passes through the tire.
There several brand, all work well. Take one that is wide enough to cover the contact surface of the wheel.

ive been told by bike repair guys that those are just mainly gimmicky, and further, if not installed perfectly, they can actually pinch a tube and cause a leak.

It work very well for me, I might installed them perfectly each time :wink: I will not remove the 4 wheels of the board to install them, I will wait to have an issue and introduce them one by one.

Better have a low leak then walk home.

Maiden voyage today Went 32.2km/h drawn 17wh/km. Almost ate the pavement but was able to run it off.

Thatā€™s a horrible road, keep in mind this board is designed for the street. Not trails and off road use, the enclosure is low to the ground. You also will get a flat pretty quick with all those rocks.

On roads I hit 50 km/h + often.

Unfortunately thatā€™s the only road I have

Get some knobbies for that and move up to 8 inch tires to give you some more ground clearanceā€¦ :+1:t6:

Nice gear, mean roads. Iā€™d get some thin HDPE or thin cutting board type material and glue some properly sized skid plates to the bottom of the enclosure. At least try to save some of that beautiful carbon from getting eaten by rock monsters.

You should get one wheel to ride on that crappy road.

Thatā€™s an awesome idea. Iā€™ll try to fix it with duct tape.

Thank you. Iā€™ll try to discover some better roads :wink:

Sorry to ask here, but is there a build log with this types of tires ? (solide/foam filled)
