Nice video. Great soundtrack.
Thanks, I did a bass cover for the audio
Is that you on the bass? Nice.
I thought you swapped out the ones on the wheels with the motors 
I love the duct tape mount. I don’t do any serious commuting with mine and love that DIY look. I agree about the black wheels. I really don’t want to go any bigger than 83mm and wish there were even smaller versions on the DIY market. TB, get some black 83mm wheels and you might sway buyers on the fence like me!
Nice… Yeah, the orange wheels on the hub motors do get much dirtier than the standard wheels. The urethane is not exactly the same as the wheels but it also has to be a harder duro. The 90mm black wheels should be available soon. They should be a better urethane but not sure exactly yet. Can’t wait for the 90s. I’ll look into offering the 83mm black in the future.

Yes the duct tape mount was sketchy at best 
. When the new deck is finished and the electronics are swapped to 6s then we’ll make a real enclosure
great review. I don’t know i’ve ever kept bushings or bearings on any complete (unless let me specify when building). i always end up tweaking bushings, and bearings are always being cleaned and replaced w/ better…
Not sure that’s a con really. Look forward to seeing v2 and black thane options!
What was the motor temperature. Any urethane slippage like other motors? Also what was your battery voltage.?
I didn’t take exact measurements for temp, but I would say around 140 Fahrenheit. No slippage, It’s held in place by a bunch of screws. Battery voltage was about 3.7 per cell when finished. We started at 3.9 though, only went about a mile.
By voltage i meant 6s, 10s?
3s… we still need to soldier connectors on to make it 6s
UPDATE: Unfortunately, this motor has come to a quick end… Got home from a trip in Monterey and the board immediately had problems. We had gone on 2 runs, never took it on rough terrain and made very sure to stay away from anything that could damage the motor or the electronics. With 8-9 total miles on it of normal use, it now makes this sound every time it spins:
Have contacted @torqueboards about this, currently trying to figure out a way to fix it. I’ll let everyone know how this works out.
looks like it can hit a good speed still, think it might just be a screw or other metal object stuck inside.
Actually it doesn’t reach same top speed as it did before, it blanks out and won’t engage after a certain MPH is hit.
It sounds like something is loose or dragging. I’ve probably gone about 60-75 miles on my hub motors and they are still kicking. Try and follow the sound.
Did the set screws come loose when you were riding? I’d check the end connectors and wiring first. If there’s nothing wrong and your positive. You can possibly try and open it up and check.
sounds like small debris lodged between the stator and rotating can. Should be a fairly easy fix.
