I am at a loss and would love an explanation I am very close to trading it in because this just seems like too many problems to fix. My mechanic friend said that my ABS system is not working properly either. What I thought to be a burned out bulb was replaced and I still have the same problem. My Service engine lights and low oil/change oil lights stay on all the time, my front turn signals sometimes blink when turning and other times they come on and stay on (no blinking) until I turn. After 20 min of sitting, I tried it again and it started. I still had interior lights, radio etc but it would not start back up right away. Last night, coming off the hwy, I stopped in a turn lane and my car died.this time I noticed the car died because of my gauges. I now think that my car died when I was coming to a stop didn't know it at the time because the car is quiet and I was focused on trying to keep control of the car. My power steering went and I wrestled the car into the gas station on the corner. The other night I was driving (just came off a hwy) and the first complete stop that I had to come to was in a right turning lane. If you’re willing to drop $500 for an electric skateboard that isn’t entirely inept, but not the polished experience seen on more expensive boards, then by all means.I have had several problems that seem to be all coming back to the fact that I am having an electrical problem. Bottom lineīuying the Acton Blink Board (mostly) boils down to budget.
ACTION BLINK LITE RECALL FULL
The acceleration and deceleration aren’t that graceful, which requires you to adapt and figure out the board’s handling characteristics.īattery life and range are the most forgiving here: expect to hit the 6-mile mark without having to conserve too much, but because a full charge will take you an hour (and the power brick is huge), it’s best to plan ahead.
ACTION BLINK LITE RECALL PRO
I haven’t been able to find a true workaround for this, as the three riding modes - beginner, intermediate and pro - all seem to give similar feedback via the remote. Instead, lean backwards and hope that it doesn’t jerk you forward, straight onto the concrete (which has happened). To add insult to injury, the slider itself is jittery, with power delivery that’s too sudden and uncomfortable.Īdditionally, you don’t really “brake” on the Blink Board. The build quality is questionable, and feels like it could break. Why? Well this transitions into the unfinished aspects of the board that defeat the purpose of having an electric skateboard - which is meant to be a means of transportation, most likely on city streets. Instead, I opt for the safer runs at parks.


The Blink’s ride can be jarring, because such a small deck moving at high speed is less forgiving than say, a longboard.ĭespite my past experience with both powered and traditional skateboards, I’m reluctant to take the Blink Board out into the city streets.

Honestly, I was never a fan of making something accessible if it meant watering it down. Despite the compromises made to keep cost efficiency, the Blink Board skates pretty well once you get it going, but that doesn’t mean it’s not entirely without its shortcomings because of the circumstances. So, $500 gets you a Canadian Maple deck instead of bamboo and a simple plastic remote instead of the safety switch and scroll wheel seen elsewhere. Remember: They’re trying to keep the cost low for a first-gen product. Unlike what the folks at Boosted Board have done with the product of the same name, Acton hasn’t poured more than a thousand dollars into the quality of the product.
