21mph and Already Fighting for My Life
Hey all!
Just got a Meepo Go and I’m still pretty new to eskating overall. I’ve been messing around with the advanced controller settings and I’m kinda confused about the “Motor Run Mode” options, specifically Hybrid vs FullSense. What’s the actual difference in riding feel? Which one do most people use/recommend?
Also, my board is only topping out around 21 mph in Sport(Or shld I leave it on duty) mode even though Meepo advertises up to 28 mph. Is there some setting I’m missing, or is that speed only under ideal conditions? I’m around 200 lbs if that matters.
Another thing I wanted to ask is what brake percentage you guys use. I’m trying to find a good balance where the brakes are strong enough but not so aggressive that they throw me forward.
And finally, any tips for new riders? Especially for avoiding speed wobble at higher speeds. Right now anything above ~15 mph starts feeling sketchy and unstable lol.
Would appreciate any advice/tuning recommendations from more experienced riders.

New skateboard questions
Hey folks I just got a new voyager and got caught in very sudden rain and was curious if the boards are water resistant I don't know if I'm being paranoid or not I just don't want to ruin a brand new board thanks
After noticing the old trucks on my voyager were slightly bent after only 150 miles I wanted to see if the CNC trucks would be compatible. I only seen one person who bought them and didn’t even have the full truck together so I took a chance. Turns out it’s a complete match. Haven’t rode on it just yet because of the weather but I would guess that there shouldn’t be any issues. Meepo says they’re incompatible but they bolt right up. So if you were wondering if they would work, they sure do!
Hey everyone,
I’ve got a Meepo Hurricane and ran into a weird charging issue after I completely drained the battery riding. I had to kick the board home after it died.
Now this is what’s happening:
Board still turns on
Remote connects and shows blinking 1 bar
Wheels spin normally when I use the remote
BUT it won’t charge
Charger behavior:
When I plug it into the wall it lights up green for about 10–15 seconds, then fades off
When I plug it into the board (even without wall power) the charger LED still lights up green
It never shows red at all
From what I understand, it should stay green on wall power and turn red when charging, so this seems off.
I’m trying to figure out:
Is this definitely a dead charger?
Or could deep discharge / BMS issues cause this kind of behavior?
Has anyone had a Hurricane charger fail like this?
Would appreciate any insight before I order a replacement.
Hello!
I am thinking of buying a Meepo classic 2 second hand because my Meepo V3 is officially cooked.
The seller has lost the charger and the remote, and I am wondering if anyone knows if my Meepo V3 Charger and remote will be compatible with a Meepo Classic 2?
I've been riding my hurricane for a couple years now and have pretty consistent flats with the tubeless racing wheels. I have gone through 3 sets of wheels in the 2200 miles I've put on the board and I don't think I've made it more than 100 miles without a flat. The current set just started to show signs of a breakthrough in the tread so I figured I would see if anyone else has recommendations for wheels that don't see as many issues. I ride the board about 10-15 miles a day on pavement since I ride it to work. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
My meepo v5 is not turning on after I accidentally went through some water, I dried it out and cleaned the ports and stuff but its just beeping once then immediately turning off.
