LMine is a bit safer since I dropped to 10s and Vescs. With the 12s Lipo, TB Esc’s and 230kv motors. It was almost too much power. I really had to be careful with the trigger. Like a dual trigger. Pull slow to go Pull fast to eject

That makes me feel better then lol
I measured the hills I need to get past most often with an app, and they range from 18% to 33%.
I messaged them, they said they will bear half the cost of the shipping back. Any cheap shipping companies to recommend? The ups estimating tool I found online gave me a quote of $300+. Even half of that is kinda expensive. Sigh.
That’s a better deal then I got from Enertion. They just gave me address and said send it there. I cover shipping.
EGO definitely won’t do 18%-30% grades. 10% would be about the max.
Your best bet if you can’t get your board repaired/replaced would be a dual drive DIY build.
Would it be doable to simply swap out the motors on the benchwheel? Do I need to open the motor enclosure, or would I need to replace the entire truck with mounts with another set?
i just got a benchwheel a couple weeks ago. no issues for me yet.
i’m almost certain you can just replace the motor since it’s mounted with like three screws.
then the cables are just friction type so you can unplug them.
just make sure it’s not the electronics, maybe you can check for voltages, make sure the problem is with the motor and on the electronics?
Chinese clone related.
Check out this guy who took a Chinese clone and upgraded to VESC and the end result seems like respectable board.
I can remove the motors from the mounts. It’s the black enclosure around the motor that I can’t remove. There’s a tiny hole near the axle, and I can’t seem to get either Allen keys or screwdrivers to turn anything inside, though I do feel something inside catching slightly. Any recommendations for alternative motors that would work with the board as is?
I don’t have any special equipment, but I did try plugging the motor into the other side. It behaves the same way.
hey mate i am in the same bind as you are.
But i am stuck trying to remove the engine, could somone please give me a little explanation ?
I have taken off the wheel and the rubber band off (Dunno what it is called in english).
But i cant seem to remove the motor 
PS: i am going for a motor change, so i will let you know how that works out for me.
Pictures would help
So far what i know i need to remove this “pulley”, but it seems to be stuck, and i cant find any more screws in there.
Yeah it’s prob stuck… Get a battery puller and yank it off… Is that shroud removable?
a battery puller ? never seen one before, but it seems lige a great tool to have. Buying one asap.
Yes the shroud is removeable (if you are reffering to what covers the band).
don’t use a battery terminal puller, the flanges are aluminum and bend very easily. I got mine off with a little heat and a flat head screwdriver in between the mount and pulley. You probably don’t even need the heat.
I managed to yank it off. Just keep pulling and maybe heating the pulley up with a lighter or something. That’s how I managed it. You need to remove the circlip at the end first though.
There is no circlip at the pulley, at least on mine
