Hello, I bought this Pivot GT 2 in 1 skateboard because of your review on it. I bought it in August 2023. Sadly, I think they have scammed me for my money. They sent two emails in August and September saying a tracking number would be send early September. I waited patiently and never received a tracking number. I emailed them on September 18, 2023, asking for a tracking number. They never emailed back to this. It is October now and they still are not responding and have yet to send me a tracking number to the Pivot GT I bought in August. Was I scammed? My name is Charletta Martin

Hmmm not at all I can guarantee that. Sounds like a massive mistake Let me message the owner and get it sorted asap All of China is closed for a week at the moment for a public holiday event but I’ll get you a update Normally massive delays like this are a result of boards getting held at customs 🛃 due to massive backlogs and unfortunately skate company’s have no influence over that Leave it with me

I hope that all electric skateboard manufacturers would design a remote control for left-handed people as well. Currently, left-handed individuals cannot see the display at all or it is difficult to view.

SCOTTD coupon code still works, the code itself gave me enough to almost pay the entire shipping cost. Thanks for your review Scott, It Helped me decide on my first board. This is an intermediate board just beyond entry level. Other boards with similar specs want about 500 USD more at the time of this writing. Many of the entry level boards didn't meet much of what I was looking for. This board was the best compromise for my needs and wants. I'm looking forward to having fun with it. Have fun, Ride Fast..

Questions: When installing my AT wheels. the back feels like having a lot more resistance when rolling my board if its turned off. Is this normal? When I am low on battery the controller starts to vibrate a few times every X seconds. when on 1/5 bars. Is it okay to drive slowly when this happens. how much range is left. 20%? When using my Street wheels. I've got a rattling sound in the rear wheels. It seem to be the spacers inside the rear wheel. Do you have this issue as well?

Dose the esc having a 90% warranty claim rate on it. Mean its in a bad location? Possibly having a problem getting wet or something. But yeah looks like a great board at any price for that matter. You seemed to be having a blast out there. Wondering how the accelerating compares to the Atlas pro? Thanks for the video. Peace

@mikemenard4543 Жыл бұрын

He means that between battery issues or esc issues historically on warranty claims the vast majority of the time it’s ESCs that need to be replaced. He does not mean that 90% of all ESCs go. The total number of ESCs that go is still a very small % in comparison to total board ownership but even less batteries go than that. So having the ability to access the esc location from below means easier ownership. Including for those who just want to add their own custom one.

My suggestion would be to reach out to propel online. They have two guys based in America, who answered all queries very quickly and very honestly their names are Michael and Russ. Unfortunately, the comment section can be a dangerous place as it has been proven other brands are paying and motivating non-owners to leave bad comments to try to scare new owners off some brands.
