Does anyone ride a direct drive board?

Does anyone have a referral for a direct drive board?

 

Referring to wheel motor drive? If so. Loaded has complete and kits that allow you can convert a trad board into an electric board. Partnership with Unlimited Engineering.Modular system that looks to allow easy upgrade or downgrading. Interesting "cruise control" feature and tune parameters via app. Reasonable price for replacement parts. Like $99 for remote vs. Evolve. Replacement urethanes (3 different duros options) run $17. Something to consider. Not sure if most motor drive setup have replaceable wheels. That is, urethane only vs. whole wheel.

Never have seen or ridden a Loaded electric. Do use their Orangatang wheels on the Loaded Bolsa surfsk8. Love their Love Handle on the Bolsa. Stock were Orangatang 4Presidents. Bit too large for my loose setup. Wheelbite sort of sucks. Are the Evolve 97s and 107s made by Orangatang?

 

The Loaded set up appears to be Hub Drive. Quiet, good power, free roll, but rear wheels have thin urethane sleeves and that is what direct drive avoids. Miles, Onsra, Bound make direct drive and Revel makes a kit, I’ve just never ridden one (yet)…
