All our boards include 97mm Street Wheels as Standard.
However all our boards can be optioned with 6" All Terrain Pneumatic wheels OR 120mm All Terrain Cloud wheels! Simply select the option you'd prefer for your ride!
We recommend Cloud wheels for Direct Drive Boards and 6" All Terrains for Belt Drive Boards for the ultimate board combination.
Note: Black cloud wheels are standard when selected - if you wish to change colour please make note of desired colour on your order notes.
DD Motors are affixed to the boards axle where the wheel mounts onto the side of the motor. They provide super smooth yet crisp delivery of performance and are the ultimate motor for everyday cruising or street carving. Direct Drive Motors are virtually maintenance free, plus are extremely efficient and super silent given they produce no loud belt noises and are fast becoming the motor of choice.
Key Benefits
- Incredibly Efficient & Smooth
- Very Quiet & Low Sound Output
- Low Maintenance
- Ideal for Cruising and Carving
Downfalls
- Motor clearance on smaller wheels isn't ideal, although motor protective covers are easily replaceable and in-expensive.
BD Motors are mounted off the back of the boards axle (and in some cases off the front) which then drive a belt via a pulley that adapts to the wheel allowing more ability to change gearing variations to alter the performance, torque or range characteristics depending on the type of wheels and tooth of adapters used. Thanks to this gearing the motors will provide phenomenal amounts of torque and acceleration comfortably.
Key Benefits
- Ultimate in Torque & Acceleration
- Excellent Heat Dissipation
- Ideal for All Terrain Capability
Downfalls
- Can be quite loud and noisey
- Require's more tuning and maintenance of belt tensions etc
