Donât buy that please, Itâs a crappy product thatâs gonna brake in a couple weeks, if it arrives at all
What makes you say that.
At this point, I personally wouldnât buy an off the shelf board until itâs been tested by the public for a bit. I got and EGO and an Evolve off pre-order and had many issues with both. I got the EGO first and I had ESC, motor, and remote failures in the early months. I was well taken care of by the company and eventually upgraded my board to the latest version at no charge after the warranty was out. The final result was a very reliable board that has given me zero issues, not even a dropped connection. With the Evolve I had major connection issues, a couple broken axles, poor construction, burned out a wheel, poor board quality⌠Evolve too was very helpful and took care of everything, but it was all still a bit of a pain.
I highly recommend both companies and their level of customer service was excellent, but growing pains are part of being an early adopter and if youâre not ready for it, it can be sort of a pain. Going the DIY route isnât problem free, but you have the option of going with well tested parts not to mention a setup that is exactly what you want.
K thanks. the price is 699 retail
âŚand you can repair anything that breaks yourself without having to ship your board around the world a few times. Well said @Mrmoonlight
It seems a little disingenuous to claim that our forum âfeaturedâ Leafboard⌠itâs more likely that it was discussed and identified as âprobably not something any of us would buy.â
They probably searched âleafboardâ on google and reported every result. That tells a lot about the company. Just look at what theyâre advertising, 28% hills? 18,5 km range with a 5000 mah? Not even on 12s
You bring up a very good point. It helps to consider where youâre purchasing from as well. Shipping costs and times can really add up. Not just when you first order something, but if you ever have to send something back for repair. If itâs as whole board, that could get pricey. If itâs just a VESC, itâs not such a big deal. You may just have to wait awhile.
Ok yhanks a mill
dude i was looking at the leafboard, but i backed out of it last minute. if u saw the comments on it, they lost like 70k or something cause theyâre just a sketchy company. a bunch of backers dug up evidence that theyâre associated with this 3d printer that still hasnât shipped out yet on kickstarter. there was a thing where leafboard said digitaltrends was going to write about them, but they never followed back up with them. they also said that theyâre based in walnut california, but i think theyâre just a company in china.
idk man, itâs weird stuff. i didnât trust it. i was looking at everything and i decided to just go with acton, they look way more reliable for a similar price
Ok thanks u guys mightive saved me 400euro. thanks
4 months delayed but at least there is some work being done. Itâs gonna be a SPECAIL board. (Iâm not a backer)
This was posted in their closed FB-group for backers by the page admin.
Digging this thread back up because Iâm bored at work. Press reset has done a video on this board and it looks to be revamped with the new hobbywing esc and oled remote like the exway.
2 years is still a LONG time to be shipping a product. Hopefully theyâve finally worked it all out.
I did in fact order this, and did in fact receive it, albeit after 2.5 months (stated shipping time 8-15 daysâŚ). It came by rail once they had it finished, and was 30-35 days in transit from HK (I think)⌠So far itâs been good, light, and Iâve managed the top speed it states. I havenât had the 12.4mile range they claim, more like 6, but I was gunning it about. They responded to some FB messages saying riding in mode 2 (of 3) got about 10 miles
Thanks for following up, mind posting some pix so we can see what it actually looks like? Iâm curious if it looks the same as the advertisements
sure some attached now. Forgot to mention it did come with extra griptape, bushings, retractable lanyard thing t tool etc. Was $489 USD, about ÂŁ380 for me in the UK
Ok on my phone in web browser so only one uploaded for some reason, hereâs one of the actual board !
And the back. Seems well made from what I can see
