I, too carry my board entirely on my pinkyâŚtry it in the center of the handleâŚ
also ârelatedâ is an awful ambiguous term on a product that is abused inherently during regular use

The whole point was to show that if you hold your board at the end of the handles it will be mostly balanced. Nothing else. And if you think that means his pinky is doing most of the work you havenât carried much things in your life.

I guess the balance with shred lights installed at the front is a lot better

I donât have a Raptor 2.
But if the biggest complaint is the handle design, it must be a pretty sweet ride.

So what about those rear wheels⌠Knew they would be an issue. Itâs really the biggest issue that no hub motor manufacturer has fixed⌠yet. That design of diamonds hold my wheel in place scares me. Not the original exploded diagrams design, and it will be prone to these kinds of warps. Low duro wheels will have this issue. The solution is simple, or at least for us (hummie and I), but Iâ'm not giving away any more info than that. P.S. think about what happens when the wheels heat up and expand. Geometrically, theres a shape that works the best.

itâs always nice to see ur posts
I saw that the wheel will have different durometer inside so that it doesnât warp. good thane doesnât change shape by heat tho. I personally grind tham on sandmachine but it rather burn up. not melty
So, how does it feel to hold the handle with the board backwards, so the motors are in front of you? Seems like that would be a lot more comfortable to hold and have a better ergonomic angle for the hand and wrist.
It still cracks me up that the handle location seems to be the biggest problem and the main topic of discussion. Not performance, value, ride quality, etc.

Why wouldnât adding, say, aluminum L-bars/extrusions next to the battery work? i canât CAD but something like this.
alternatively, why not move the handles out a little bit so theyâre in line with the wheels? this wouldnât effectively widen the board since the wheels already go that far out but it would make the CF more consistently wide. It would look something like the left half of this image
thanks for the input,
however, i think itâs important to emphasize that the current design, with handles centered between wheels (pictured below right side), is structurally sound.
The problem is if you move the handles backward (pictured above left side) you are then creating a weak spot. then you would need to strengthen the center. This is why i was arguing not to move the handlesâŚ
so why not alu rails? that would strengthen the entire board, not just the weak spot
becasue Iâm not moving the handles.
