Here come the clones..

Saw this on Aliexpress. Interesting board and a decent price shipped to the U.S. for $530. Looks like a 50mm motor? 8ah battery LifePO4

You have to love this one

Couldn't grab a pic of the remote, but looks nice and small.

That's an awesome deal! I'm imagining the costs to build something like that.
Battery 200 (lifepo is about that I think but then it says li-ion so maybe just 100)
Motor 40
Pulleys n motor mount minimum 60
Normal board 100
Transmitter receiver 30
Bms 50

So maybe you might just make it under their price. No remote pic. That pic at the end is so typical on alibaba. And then shipping will be a lot. I'm guessing as reduce loud as 100. I've gotten bike frames shipped from China for 100 and this will be a lot heavier

Is the search function here not the best? I'll search for something like movpak and get nothing...post it up and a genie has moved my post to the discussion from months ago.

Hmm... sounds too good to be true. Great specs. Nice design. Skeptical...

The fan grill looks exactly like the one on the FVT 120A car ESC.

Nice board ! with a price in line with what it ought to be once the early time irrational frenzy settle down...

In you cost/price guess, you should differentiate consumer prices and industrial prices as there is ratio of at least 3 to 4 (for instance a longskate costs less than 20 usd, a 24v8Ah battery less than 80... and the small parts like motor mount or pulley account just for dollar once you invest in tooling/qtt)... and I imagine that Asian factories have much better costs than me.

Now that we have reached acceptable price level , the Eskate market will hopefully begins develop volume (in few years, such Eboard will probably cost around 250/300 usd)

looks pretty good n the price is great!
thanks for the fyi

beto_pty · Nov 29, 2014

very nice board.. little skeptical on the specs but it could easily be hacked into one of ours...
nice

psychotiller · Nov 29, 2014

Love the design and the price seems amazing. Hate those Veloz trucks.

Saw some other interesting stuff on EBay. Someone selling a DIY dual emt for $1100 and again someone selling plans to build an eboard for $10(pic below). He should post some pics of something a bit nicer, c'mon step up your game! The internet is a crazy place.

I lack interest in eskates but I have ridden one at a EV show and it was a lot of fun.
Excuse me if I am fat and clueless but on that aliexpress URL if I do ctrl+f I cant find the words "LifePO4" or even "Ah" anywhere on that page, as you sure you get a battery?

tung256 · Dec 1, 2014

the ebay dude only has 1 rating.
and there's no warranty mentioned anywhere. i would be careful.

He most proberly bought the boards from the aliexpress website and is just re-selling them.

But dude 17mile range on a 8ah battery? Makes sense?

would like to see a real world review of it.... not from a reseller

mccloed · Dec 3, 2014

Looks like other U.S. companies are carrying this. Per-order basis right now.

What do you mean?

You guys think it's worth a shot?

kimboviper · Dec 4, 2014

how the hell are you supposed to know how much battery is left?

after buying many cheap chinese clones on ebay... i would not risk the $530 on it. No warranty and usually zero QA for most chinese clone products.

mccloed · Dec 4, 2014

I took the leap and bought one. Probably wont have it for at least another week. I'm willing to be a guinea pig.

kimboviper · Dec 4, 2014

good luck....please right a full review for us

Flexscoot · Dec 4, 2014

Nice try.
Looking forward for the answer to Thebeast question about the battery...

You mentioned US retailers...Who'd you buy it from? Definitely looking forward to your review "Guinea Pig Mccloed"!

mccloed · Dec 4, 2014

I actually bought it from the eBay guy. He accepted a cheaper offer, which I did not expect. I also noticed his zero rating after I sent the offer. Oh well. I'm used to being a guinea pig.
