    My one wheel has not worked in 2 months. I let it sit in the garage through winter... Thinking it was the battery, searched how to install a new one. There was a place right down the street from me that happened to sell after market batteries. After watching this, I went there to go buy a battery. There was a gentleman that helped me that looked familiar. Not thinking anything of it. I went home to install the battery. I'm watching the video and Bara the guy in the video is the one who helped me.....wow. Absolutely incredible. Awesome staff and sweet work shop. I'm up and running with a higher mileage range. Thank you for the full circle customer service and quality product!! Will recommend!

    Hello, could you please do a how-to video of the ChiGauge Display for the Pint

    Man this mod is at the top of my bucket list to get. I just can't ever seen to fork out the money for it. Great product guys!! Much love
  • Hi guys! Love the battery, got it around 4 months ago and have gotten up to 20km of range with aggressive driving. One thing I could recommend you to add to the video or maybe change about the battery pack is the free space on the side of the battery pack where the wires run. My board wouldn't turn on lately so I investigated and figured out that due to this slight slack, the battery pack actually pulled enough on the xt60 cable coming from the controller to disconnect it completely. This is partially my fault because I frequently put the board down on its non-handle side, and in that position the battery weight hangs on those cables, me dunking the board against the pavement just made it worse. Everything works perfectly fine now that I've found the issue, and I filled out that empty space with a cut to size eraser but maybe the pack could come with some foam padding with adhesive on that particular side? Worst fear is the cable disconnecting mid-ride

    Wow this is a really impressive kit with pretty simple installation. Nice job. What if you offered a boardbank housing that we could drop our stock pint battery into? Then we would be able to stop and charge and our perfectly good pint battery wouldn't be wasted. 12 miles on the quart battery, stop for a break and get another 7 miles.

    Chi quart review. Put one of these in last month. Near on double my range. Board feels the same accelerating and braking. Tail is heavier of course and simple stop can feel clunky/abrupt because of the increased weight...or I just need to get used to it. Battery fit is super snug. Didn't need to cut anything, Chi please make the balance cables a whisker longer...mine just reached. Recommended product. Using the app/diagnostics/voltage to monitor battery is no problem. Light bar will not read correct and neither will the battery indicator in the app...must just read voltage in apps diagnostics. If you order a battery also order online somewhere the ipr20 bit as it's not likely to be at your local tool/hardware.

  • @oranmooney506
    how long do you need it to let it sit for when shipped and can you still use the app.
  • @BlackSheriff84
    Will you guys be making a higher aH battery for the pint?
  • @dipgas5155
    Will you guys offer an option with Panasonic cells?
  • @Esa826
    I like this video because it's going make FM mad!! :D
  • @josecortes6485
    Is there any way to actually disconnect the wire going from the battery to the controller?
  • @StantonLuke
    So is there a bms in the battery pack.. or is it just cells?! You use the original BMS?
  • @havextree
    Hi does the chi guage come with the battery or it extra. I can't find it on the site.
