Andrew,

Do you have full specifications for the board, including pricing?

I've got a second generation Exkate with an extra set of batteries I would be willing to let go.

Because of my charger and to be sure that the battery is OK for a new ride, I would like to know if it's possible to install a battery jauge on the ES-600?

I installed a "Watts Up" meter on my ES600, shows battery voltage. You can find pictures in the "pictures & albums" section.

Hey Steph,

I had a charging socket problem with my board when I first got it. Mine was an easy fix. One of the wires wasn't soldered properly and came loose. You couldn't tell that it was loose because the shrink tubing was holding it to the pin. You might want to take a close look at that area.

Why would you have to pull the fuse before charging? This is the first time I have heard this. My fuse's are inside the battery box, so that would mean that I would have to pull the box every time I recharge the batteries. :confused5:

Hey Mike,

These wheels wear really well, you'll get a lot of miles out of them :thumbsup:

Just checked, there is a picture of it on their website. Pretty cool looking :peace:

So it's the remote that's changed, not the controller. I'd like to see a picture of it. I love my gun remote.

Glad to help, you'll love the board. You can contact "Andrew12" on this site, he runs Elektroskate. He should be able to give you a tracking number.

Where are you located, I'm in California

I have both boards and the rokit science board just sits. It's a nice board but the es-600 blows it away!

Sorry for the late reply. I have both boards and have used the Rokit Science slick wheels on my ES-600. That was before Andrew got his better wheels.

Glad to hear your board is back on the road. I've got mine sealed up pretty well, so I'm not too worried about getting water on the electronics. I actually haven't checked to see how hot the motor gets after a hard ride but I know that the brushless motor runs pretty cool. I know that I have never had a problem with it losing power. Just the opposite, it can be scary fast :thumbsup:. Yeah, I agree, everyone stops me to ask about the board. They even want to take pictures of it. If Andrew would send me some business cards, I could hand a bunch of them out every time I ride the board.

Do you have your board repaired with the resin added?

It's amazing how much you learn about electric skateboards when you really get into them. David could make his wheels work with your board if you are willing to send him your board. He is a really smart guy. Andrew is always upgrading his boards, that's why I like working with him also. All that you need to do with the Abec's is un-weight when you go over a larger crack and you really don't feel it. You do need to watch out for larger obstacles though, but then, you have to do that with any wheel.

Brett,

You were asking which wheel works best for smooth concrete. And now you're saying that you ride medium to rough concrete. I don't think there is a wheel that works good for rough concrete (maybe an off road wheel). My Goodyears will not work on my ES600 due to the bearing size difference. The axle diameter is larger on the ES600 so I have no way of telling if the drive gear will line up properly. If you are dead set on a rubber wheel, you will either have to send your board to David (E-Glide), he can modify the wheel to fit or you can check out the slick wheels that Rokit Science has to offer. I know that they will work on the ES600.

I got on their website and they have no problem shipping to me. I didn't order any at this time but the site was going to let me.

Hey Brett,

Ya know, I'm not sure. I know when I ordered a set for my Exkate, I had to take my board to David (E-Glide). He had to modify the bearings to fit. the Exkate uses a smaller bearing. I know the drive belt is interchangeable. I assume the drive gear is the same as the belts are interchangeable. I would check with David to make sure they use the same axle bearing size. The ES600 uses a 10 X 26 X 8 mm bearing. Axle is 10mm. You might want to wait until you try the Abec wheels, I think they work great :thumbsup:

Yeah, that probably is a good idea to cover everything in a resin to keep all electronics from being jarred loose. I might think about doing that myself.

Yeah, I love the ES, definitely by far the best of the three boards that I have.

Hey Chrizz,

Hope you get your board on the road soon. Have you talked to Andrew about your problems? Yeah, I really like the meter, I fabricated an aluminum cover for it to hide the wires. The key switch works really well to keep unwanted riders from using the board. I actually get a lot of comments on what a good idea it is.

Smooth concrete, I would recommend the Abec's, they are super fast. They are both good wheels though. The Goodyears are softer and wear quicker.

Hey Chrizz,

Sorry to hear about your board, did it just quit on you? I see you noticed the key switch I put on my board. It keeps all of my friends from borrowing the remote and taking the board for a ride without my permission :devil: Now that my board is perfect, they all want to ride it. The meter is nice, I rode the board all day yesterday and my battery level didn't get below 39 volts.

I have the E-glide Goodyears on my Exkate board. They are really soft and ride really smooth. I have the Abec wheels on my ES600. The Abec wheels are a lot faster. They are both good wheels.

Hey Groovy,

I got my new box, really nice. Keep in mind that the new boxes must be purchased from Elektroskate. Andrew worked with me on mine because my other box was faulty. I believe the cost is 120 pounds or 177 US dollars. You would have to confirm that with Andrew.

Hey Chrizz,

The "Watts Up" meter is the one that I installed on my board. Works great! I emailed Andrew and he told me that the ES600 has a low voltage cut out at 18 volts. I rode all day yesterday and my board didn't get below 39 volts.
