Ecomobl Telum 2WD
I got my Telum in June 2023, and was able to go offroad with it only a few times so far. This is my 1st offroad SK (skateboard). My true rating would be closer to 4 than a 5 stars. But, I opted to give it a 5 based on my experience so far, and for overall fun factor. 1st, it is a thing of beauty (if that is your thing)! I know it sounds silly...! A perfect design and art! Also, it is a beast (power wise), and will probably rattle you when you go first few times! Unfortunately, you can't adjust the acceleration, just the speed, and it seems that even at lower speeds, the trigger still sensitive and would acc. pretty hard (same acc.)! The good part is that it has it when you want it! The flex deck and giant pneumatic tires, make the ride very comfortable almost on any terrain. I don't even care, or mind about relatively big rocks or anything really on the ground anymore... Haven't try jumping with it yet, but I think it will handle it well. Battery life seems to be OK. I was done way before the battery was out, and did a lot of climbing with it. So, didn't try to check how many miles it can really do. The main issue I have with it, is that without foot binding I can't turn with it! Even with the foot binding I have a really hard time turning. On wide trails, not an issue, but on pavement my turn radius is like of an SUV. But, I'm not an avg. Weight (under 140lbs)! I have the softest springs in the front and medium in the back. I'm going to change the back ones to the softest, even though it's recommended to have the back ones a bit harder. I wish they had even softer than the Blue ones (the softest)...! I'll probably end up replacing the stocked binding with better ones. You will find this complaint all over the web! I agree with it, but at the same time, I think it was meant for offroad riding, where it's less of a problem. My SK came w spares of the Red Springs (medium). In my case I actually would like the Blue ones. I wish it would have come w extra Blue ones instead. When I went to purchase them separately, they only offer all 3 kinds, and not individual ones, so relatively expensive, considering I don't need the rest! Also, in my opinion, the description of the parts on their website is subpar and ambiguous on some of their items. This is just an observation from looking briefly at the parts lists. At some point I'll need tires, etc... FYi, you are "married" to the company when it's come to spare almost anything! I recommend getting extra tires, etc., just in case... Overall I'm still learning, but my experience so far was very good and had a lot of fun! Please, please have respect for this beast, wear all the protective gears, and be very careful, especially considering that your feet are tied to this thing, so "escaping" it might not be possible! And remember that the trails are his natural habitat. Safe riding!
