Just 1 mile on Bamboo GT on grass. Can't be normal.

Hi All,

I just bought a Bamboo GT and went for a ride on a flat grass field.

The board would just ride fast on GT mode. On slow and eco it would not even move on the grass (but yes on the concrete).

The battery got practically depleted just after 1 mile (1.6km) ride. Can it be normal? I understood the AT wheel was exactly to ride like on grass?

The board warranty finishes in January of 2018.

Thanks!

 

what kind of grass ?

hard packed short grass or spongy soft grass ?

 

Spongy soft...

 

that will kill it pretty quick, depending on how thick n spongy it could be like a constant hill climb into a headwind.

 

Tire pressure also makes a big difference. Mostly on pavement. Evolve workers inflate to just over recommended on tire wall. 53-55psi for best mileage.

 

Grass will kill your battery quickly and could overheat your speed controller. I'd advise against riding on it much.
