I am as of today a proud owner of the new 2019 trampa electric mountainboard pro and I’m pretty excited about it
However I have some questions, that I couldn’t find an immediate answer to. Maybe @trampa or somebody else can help.
The carve/steering is super hard, I am rather lightweight, but I chose the yellow dampers and considering that the same trucks are used on the urban carve without bindings, I have a hard time understanding how that could be possible. I already released the screws on the springs to the maximum. Is there any other way to make the steering easier?
The back is incredibly hard to turn by hand (the wheels that is). I can barely drag it behind me without a considerable amount of effort. My DIY board is a lot easier to pull, why is that the case?
You can go without dampas in the front. Springs can be mounted in inner or outer position.
Drag: you can loosen the four hex bolts holding the drive train. Then you can adjust the belt tension by pulling on the motor. The entire drive moves! After adding the desired belt tension, you tighten the four bolts equally. These four bolts also clamp the drive to the truck.
Please assure the wheel nut is not to tight. It should be tight enough to eliminate all and any play, but not more. Other wise you will block the wheel. So go in small steps and push pull on the wheel (sideways) to check for play. Once the play is Zero, you are good.
If you ride with bindings you can get a lot more steering from the same setup. For stability, I would drop in dampas in the back. Everyone is different and there is no standard setup that fits all riders. There is plenty of adjustability, so it should be quite easy to find a suitable combination.
Because it is an MTB and not all models have that as standard.
Infinity hangers have the inner position, and the very new electric drive hangers have that feature.
It is not really advisable to use inner spring position on a full scale MTB with bindings.
Some people use the wide hanger on carvers and so we added that into the new hangers.
