somebody put a diyeboard on a deck and calls it a product?
I just checked it out and everything about it is just sketchy lol
hearts for the cringe levels of that link. People really need to quit telling their kids everything they do is special
Cringe level at extremes
Just watch the video. A rare specimen. The music at the end is the icing on the cake. RIP my ears
Speaking of Stary, just got this in the mail…
Wait what. They are still delivering? What was your Kickstarter backer no? I’m 1101.
Or did you buy off their website?
I was one of the only US Kickstarter backers who actually received theirs years ago. Got it brand new, hated the planetary gear single drive, promptly sold it in a week. The guy I sold it to offered for me to buy it back for $40 which is a pretty good deal so I did. Gonna try and fix it up and give it away at one of our group rides I think.
Lol what. He probably spent more on shipping. Damm you had me excited for a second. Fak me.
Have you seen any of the last 10 cheap china dumpster boards?
damn! that is a hell of a deal even if it was just for the box! didn’t even know Stary was still in business!
They aren’t, that board is from 2 years ago. I think.
Good luck fixing it ! I haven’t seen the point to do so… The deck is really bad and much too thin to accept 18650. Only 6 pouch cells can be in there… I let you imagine the range you can have with the tiny space inside
It’s more about the joy of the build than actually riding it haha. It should be a good starter board for somebody, and it does get up hills pretty well for a single planetary drive…
They actually made a Stary V2 board, but the team lost motivation after the whole Kickstarter fiasco and pivoted to scooters. I learned this from chatting with the Metasurf guy, who visited Stary while he was in China looking for factories. Disappointing end for an (in)famous product…
Wait really? What’s the new company called. I was dumb and 18 at time and I payed with a debit card. If I knew any better I would have disputed the charge.
no idea sorry
Interesting never heard of a V2. It’s true the planetary hub is very powerfull given its size
Definitely not 18650 Li-ion battery cells, a deck with this kind of thickness must be assembled with Li-pol battery
