You guys heard of Benchwheel?

[kimboviper]

[erwincoumans]

how fast is the boosted copy?

Yes, I have a whole bunch of different drives, motors and remote controllers etc, mainly to experiment with hardware (as a hobby).

The benchwheels power kit (boosted copy) is as fast as the real boosted board, and the sensorless startup with VESC controllers is great.

 

[okp]

great ! where is it shipped from?

 

[torqueboards]

China, I think.. I like the controller wish it was still available.

 

[okp]

yes, agreed ! even the boosted copy, if it works fine looks great.

Apparently they are selling on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s?marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A3SJR32VUIHFZ3&merchant=A3SJR32VUIHFZ3&redirect=true

It has senseless sine wave controller. I couldn't find any videos.

I couldn't find the esc on their site or Amazon. Where'd u find it was sine?

It was there, but it's also gone. But here, since I'm Sherlock:

Is that the boosted copy? Looks like a nice portable board.

the boosted isn't even sine wave. strange how they advertise it as having better torque at low speed with the sine wave and "brake flexible". None of which I'd ever heard of being a benefit you'd get from a sine controller. Id thought they'd say quieter and more efficient. If it really is a sine wave controller it's a great deal because the only one's I've ever found go for a cost of half what they're selling the complete board for if not more

How many volts does the esc take? doesn't say

 

[tung256]

im guessing no one bought 1?
if anyone did, kindly post some reviews or vids of it

 

[WeeChumlee]

Hi Guys

Hmm, that does look promising.
Would be very interesting if somebody had indeed bought and tested it.
I see Erwin got the dual kit and is impressed so if the rest of the board is any good this could be a very real alternative to the boosted board.
Look a little high off the ground on the pictures. Would love to see a video of this thing in action.

Cheers

Am I seeing this correctly, the trucks are mounted to the battery/esc casing? That might work for someone who's ~buck forty but any heavier and I see that casing possibly crimping/crumbling under rider weight while carving. Also significantly raises center of gravity.

Sweet spot hit! An almost all-in-one solution for around 500$, that's hard to beat.

We'll plus the $200-$250 for shipping about $750-800.

I'm not saying it's good or recommending it, I'm just singing the line from the song that comes with the video...Uptown Funk. 8)

The question is, with 24 voltage and a battery that can only push out 40 amps max, what sort of power do you guys think this will have?

Hey guys,

you heard from BenchWheel? Apperently there are selling stuff as "Generic" on amazon.com. http://amzn.com/B00WQP5P48

There are about 420$ without shipping from china.

Is there a review out?

Thanks!

Would there not be a reason to spend the $700-800 for the full E board then deconstruct it. Throw some other wheels like boosted ones on, use a spare board thats a little longer. Then you could take the battery out form the wheels and mount it like the E-GO, by doing this you would lower the ride height. If the motors fail you could just order same spec better ones when the time came. For $700 its seems like you could get a nice base of items to start a build that could be improved easily. Anyone with me?

You could and/or buy the rear truck kit for $300 or so. The battery is a 6S 8ah or something similar. ESC is most likely a 6S ESC. Not much you can upgrade.

If you get a bigger battery, it will be too big for the current enclosure. The ESC at 6S, you can't upgrade but buy a new one.

It's a great board if you leave it as is and/or just buy the rear truck kit.

that's just silly. You're better off starting from scratch and buying all the parts you want instead of buying everything twice! lol!

Not if I'm poor now, but won't be in next year! Lol. I'm good at building things, I was originally going to school for mechanical engineering but have taken a break to find my true calling (the math was killing me to say the least, more of a hands on dude) I feel like i could make everything needed im just bad with electronic talk, the main thing i need to know lol. I just need soming that can go 20+mph for about 20miles on a charge. Single or dual doesnt matter. Woyld like to spend around $1000
