The board weighed in at 18 lbs (8.2kg) and comes with a 6-month warranty. Riding Experience of Wowgo 2s Max When it comes to the torque, the 550W hub motors perform incredibly well. By using one of the strongest hub motors amongst the entry-level hub boards, Wowgo 2S Max is powerful enough for any hills on your path. Although the torque and thrill are still a step behind what a set of powerful belt motors could offer, the Wowgo 2S Max is still one of the strongest hub boards amongst all the entry-level boards we’ve tested. Soon after, it made aftermarket versions which sold millions and allowed the company to go public by 1980. After insolvency in 2007, an investor shuffle resulted in the company becoming BBS GmbH in 2012. In 2015 BBS was taken over by the Korean investment group NICE Holdings.

High Temperature Wheels – we offer a range of hard tread phenolic resin temperature resistant wheels along with a soft tread high temperature rubber wheels.The pressurized air inside the tire makes the tire resistant to outside forces trying to deform the tire. However, to a certain degree, it also allows the tire to deform a little. This provides the tire with a cushioning effect as it hits bumps in the road. One of the biggest advantages of using pneumatic tires is their ability to absorb unevenness from the terrain underneath you. This provides you with a smoother and less bumpy scooter ride. From a statement posted today iconic wheel maker BBS GmbH has filed for bankruptcy. Makers of the legendary gold honeycomb wheels and supplied to many a carmaker enters bankruptcy protection for the second time. Yes, this isn’t it’s first go-round with BK. BBS went through restructuring once before in 2007. First, let’s talk about speed control. Wowgo 2S Max’s speed and speed control are perfect as expected of the 12s Hobbywing ESC. Both acceleration and braking of the 2S Max are buttery smooth and intuitive. The brake strength is very strong, even stronger than the previous 2S Pro. This is great news as most riders eventually learn to love and prefer strong brakes, especially when the brakes are smooth and intuitive like they always are with Hobbywing ESC. Swivel Radius - The distance from the centre of the castor head fitting to the outside of the wheel. This measurement enables you to ensure you have enough clearance for the complete castor to rotate, without being fouled. It is important to take this into consideration when deciding where to attach the castor. Please note braked castors have slightly larger swivel radiuses, as a result of the foot brake mechanisms.

Wheel Load Capacity – all of our wheels have been tested and are able to carry the specified load capacities. Look for thesymbol. Weight bearing abilities can be affected by floor surfaces and amount of use overtime. Overloading wheels will cause them to fail! With the 105mm honeycomb wheels installed, our test rider got 8.6miles (14km) out of a full charge. Having a powerful motor is important especially when you plan to put on the bigger 105mm wheels. With the semi-AT wheels, torque, and braking from Wowgo 2s Max goes from quite strong to just “strong”. A board with lesser power would have a ride feel of “no power” at all if installed with semi-AT wheels. Stability over responsivenessA flat-free electric scooter tire new to the market. Segway developed this type of tire over 3-years. These flat free tires have an inner tube that is filled with new solid foaming material. They call it PU material (but we’re not quite sure what the PU stands for yet). It will be interesting to see if other electric scooter manufacturers adopt this type of technology. These are relatively new to the marketplace so we’ve not included them as a “category” for this article….yet! Bearings - Choosing castors and wheels with bearings, makes them easier to move, however in certain outdoor and offshore environments standard bearings may cease. Call us for information on stainless steel bearings. There are mainly 3 different types of electric scooter tires that can be used on your electric scooter and those are:

Having good and accurate tire pressure can be the difference between having, good riding experience or a bad one. If you’re not using the correct tire pressure, perhaps lower than recommended, you are increasing the comfort of the ride at the cost of grip. If you use too much pressure you get reduced resistance at the cost of grip. That’s why it’s crucial that you inflate the tires to the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure which is measured in pounds per square inch (psi). With a honeycomb tire you cannot adjust them to your liking as you can with a pneumatic tire. Since they need more material to be created they are often heavier and more expensive than a normal tire. Honeycomb tires have less resistance than a solid rubber tire, but still more resistant than a pneumatic tire. When is it time to replace my air filled tire?Ball Journal Bearings & Tapered Roller Bearings – precision bearings, for heavier load applications The obvious and most common problem with using a pneumatic tire is that they are susceptible to flats. Most of the time getting a flat isn’t the end of the world and they can often easily be fixed. However, there are circumstances where getting a flat or blowing a tire can be very dangerous and that is at high speed. Blowing a tire can cause you to lose control of the scooter. However, I do see the need for other types of tires and I would say it depends on the what type of terrain you will be using your scooter on. I had a horrible road going to the store from the last apartment we stayed at. A pneumatic tire here would probably have given me a flat 50% of the time, so I chose to go with a solid tire instead. I didn’t have a single issue except that the riding experience was a bit bumpier, but nothing major. If you are constantly having to fill the tire with air because the tire pressure is constantly low, then it is time. If you’re beginning to see that your tread is wearing out then it’s also time for a new one. How do I determine the tire size? These honeycomb tires are very popular for 8.5″ scooters such as the Xiaomi m365 pro and their lookalikes. Benefits of honeycomb tires on a scooter

If the tires use the correct manufacturer’s recommended PSI(air pressure) they are superior to solid rubber tires in the way that they create less friction between the tire and the road. So, the verdict seems like the brand with the funny name has done it again. Wowgo is going to retain its throne three times in a row for making the best affordable electric skateboard (first, the Wowgo Knight, then the 2S Pro, now 2s Max.) We can offer you wheelbarrow wheels and trolley wheels with or without bearings, with plastic wheel centres or metal, and even a range of puncture proof wheels to suit your requirements. As usual, let’s run through the specs to be clear about those theoretical upgrades… Build and specs– Wowgo 2s MaxTitanium and Aluminium Bars will be covered for 30 days against bending and snapping unless otherwise stated. Depending on the manufacturer some warranties cover chipping/ paint defects within this time period. You can ride unforgiving terrain without having to worry about getting a flat. You also don’t have to bother with inflating your tires or keeping the correct air pressure so these tires requires less maintenance. Disadvantages of solid tires on an electric scooter
