    Hey everyone,
    I got my Carbon GT 2in1 yesterday so I thought I'd pop into the forums and introduce myself.
    I'm a father of 2 in my mid 30's, I work at a hospital (maintaining and repairing life support equipment), and used to think of myself as a pretty regular (boring?) guy... until last night when I threw on the AT wheels and took the board out for a spin.

    After cruising my neighborhood roads for awhile I totally broke character and took off through the yards (front and back) of houses in my sleepy neighborhood. I live in a golf course community (but I don't golf) so naturally I ended up blazing my way through there as well. I'm sure I did this kind of stuff in my teens but man has it been a long time... and it felt amazing.

    I rode the 5 miles to work today and plan on doing it until the snow falls (which, living in southern Utah, might never happen).

    Now on to more important things.

    Issue 1: I followed the video when changing from the street to AT wheels but am having an issue. Everything went on just fine except for the two belt covers. I can get them on but they rub on the tires. I double checked to make sure I have the right spacers and washers in place. Has anyone else encountered something like this?

    Issue 2: Like I said, I rode to work today (5 miles) and stayed on 'Fast' mode the entire time. I'm about 160lbs and there are a few small hills but nothing crazy. I know I can get better range by staying on Eco (and that AT wheels kill the battery faster than street) but I figured I'd still be able to get at least 15 miles on Fast. By the time I arrived at work my board's battery is at about 50%. Is this normal?

    Thanks!
     
  2. The best I have ever done on my board with the AT setup is 14.9 miles. 10.3 is my average. So Yes, you are within range depending on throttle control and riding conditions.

    1) when I run AT wheels on my board I use two speed rings (instead of 1) between the gear and AT wheel. Even want to say it came like that from the factory

    2) AT will suck the battery dry. It think your numbers are right given the mode you are in and your riding habits/style. If you keep it in ECO and cruise vs raging on everything I bet you can achieve 15 miles. But what fun is that? haha

    Make sure your tyres are inflate p 50psi. I get around 30 kilometres on hard surfaces at 75 kilograms averaging 15 kph.
