    I finally rode my new board today and it feels great! The 7" A/T wheels were maxing out at 22MPH, even with a tailwind of 5-10mph. I didn't want to drain the battery, but I was definitely around 25% at around 13-14 miles. I'm 125lbs.

    I decide to install the MBS 8" A/T wheels and will test out the max speed and est. range. One of the MBS roadie tire was defected, hence the T3 Vine MBS on the rear. Also, there is enough clearance between the boardbumper belt cover. All wheels are balanced.

    Update: These new tires are definitely wayyyy better than the 7" standard A/T.
    Speed confirmed via speed app.:

    ECO: 18mph
    FAST: 26mph

    I haven't tested it on GT yet, but I imagine it is about the same as the Fast mode. The TQ feels a lot stronger especially on GT mode at 20% grade.

    Interesting but the tourqe can't be stronger. You can't have Highter top speed and higher tourqe. You are always swapping one for the other. Is there much difference in ride comfort?

    Maybe it is just me lol. But, there is minimal loss of torque. Ride comfort is a little bumpy on huge holes/bumps, mostly bc the tires are pumped to max 60 PSI. Other than that, it is smooth as butter on the straight flat road.
