New Bamboo GT 2-1 questions

Just got my GT, absolutely epic!
I used to snowboard and wakeboard a ton...then prioritys changed, haven't been on board in 4 years. Getting on this Eboard and being able to carve around at good speeds even up hill was a whole other experience. No driving to mountain, no waiting in lines, no exspensive boat, just hop out door, priceless.

2 questions...

I see (2) options for my 83mm wheel size on remote.
I don't see any reference on wheel or manual to which I have, 32T or 38T.
And what setting for off road wheels?

Second, should I keep board and remote plugged in after they are fully charged?

Third, would softer street wheel be compatable?

 

Standard is 32t , 38t are for 97mm to increase torque to match 83mm wheels.

Disconnect as soon as it's charged. apparently the slow charger is better for battery life if you are not in a rush to charge.

You can definitely use softer wheels that slide less. Just buy yourself some 97s and never look back.

 

Great, thanks!
Ya, it just seems if the road surface not completely smooth it rattles your feet pretty good.
Wheel read 83mm/76a...what is the 76a?

97s be bit softer ride?

What setting on remote for All Terrain tires?

 

175mm for 7 inch
200mm for 8 inch after market tyres.

76a is a soft durometer ...but I find those black ones slide easily whereas three 97s don't even though they are rated harder, also they are larger and feel less vibrations. and go faster and smoother start.

 

The battery needs to balance, the BMS manages that. On very very expensive systems, active balancing is used and they don't need to be plugged in. This is the best and most efficient balancing, it does not loose / bleed energy creating heat when balancing. With passive balancing, resisters are used and its cheap. You also waste some energy bleeding the cells down to the other cell levels which creates heat. Electric cars, motorcycles, bicycles and all the electric skateboards I've owned all run and use passive balancing. And with every one of these vehicles that use passive balancing require the charger to stay plugged in which allows the BMS to properly balance the cells. (I own an electric car, motorcycle, bikes, etc.) My routine is that I charge my electric skateboards when I get home at night from my commute. I allow it to charge overnight and then unplug in the morning. That gives enough time to bring a pack that's not too far out of balance, back in balance. If its really out of balance, you feel you don't have as much range, power, and speed. Let it sit on the charger for a day or two. That should balance things back up.
