Hi, I placed this in the german language section of the forum, I am hoping one of you fine people can help me. I was thinking of putting a new deck on my ES AIR 500 board, and although the truck mount screw holes seem standard, I was wondering if someone have the dimensions and what size holes I need to drill for the battery box ... I am not even sure what those little fitters that slide down into the holes on the board are called, the ones that hold the battery box on to the board, there are four of those and the screws are bolted from the bottom. Anyway, I am looking to change that deck that came with the ES AIR 500 and change to a longer 42" deck, so I want to doublecheck and confirm the type of screws on the ES AIR 500 and what those screw fitters are called and what size holes I need. Thanks in advance, I am not so technical about these things, so I want to check before I start drilling anything. Cheers Dave

yes very nice

Raldey is the chinese brand name I think... the electric skateboard is the same, at least when I bought the ES AIR 500 from Electroskate website, the board came to me with the name Raldey... but it is the same electric skateboard that is made in china. Cheers Dave

Hi, well I have decided to sell my ES-500 Watt Air Board, since I am going to invest in some other equipment. The board itself is in brand new condition, never ridden outside and all original packaging, manual is included. Also this board is not the stock board with the smaller wheels, the ABEC 11 compound wheels I purchased extra (85 euro value). The wheels are 95mm black color. I live in Helsinki, so I can ship to anywhere in Europe for about 40 euros. So total price including shipping will be 500 Euros. If you are interested, please PM me. There is a picture of the board also on this site here: http://www.elektro-skateboard.de/forum/bilder/es+air+500-179/es-air-500-1458.php So if you want a good deal on an ES-AIR 500 board at good price + good wheels, or if you know someone who wants a good deal, please let me know. I can accept paypal or eu money transfer to my bank in Finland. You can get more info on the board from ES website: Cheers Dave

Hi, I sent you a private message about this.... happy riding ! Cheers Dave

I think I will need to buy them all and then when I die, I can have them buried with me and I can ride them all on perfect skating paths in the afterlife and ghost-haunt all the bad boards p.s. Sometimes I like to ride my regular skateboard

Hi Wladi, welcome to the forum, my ES AIR 500 is coming today in the post ! I will take some unboxing pictures and some additional pictures of the board and post for you to look at ! Cheers Dave

Yeah well I agree the brakes are probably not the best if you want to make sure you can stop I guess I am a little crazy... my e-glide boards with the wire controller have much, much better precision throttle and braking... The e-glide boards brake real hard--if you want.. the trick is to apply enough pressure on the pistol controller... I already had a couple times I braked to hard and went flying... But for such a small board (metroboard), the brakes don't seem too bad... but it is true, you do need to allow yourself some room to break...there seem to be a short delay when you press the brake button (either one light or hard) on the IR remote until the motor breaking engages. I guess I like to have the true "coasting" feeling when breaking on the metro-board.

Die Boards sehen wirklich ganz nett aus. Aber wie fährt sich das Metroboard denn mit der IR-Fernsteuerung? --- The IR remote is really easy to use... it has a wide angle IR view, so I find no problem of losing IR connection... Bremst das automatisch ab sobald man nicht mehr auf dem IR-Empfänger zielt? --- If you do lose connection with IR, the board just starts to coast like normal board... actually when I go down hills, i just don't press any button and coast.. Wie gut lässt sich das die Geschwindigkeit mit dem Knöpfen dosieren? ' The speed is gradual with the IR remote...it is pretty smooth, no real jerky stops or starts... Vor allem das Bremsen, kann man auch gemütlich abbremsen damit? --- The brakes are really good...nice and smooth...there are two levels, the light brake, which slows you down to a slow pace (like 3km per second) and the hard brake, which basically smoothly stops you to almost entirely stopped..I use the light brake when going down some really steep hill, and the hard break if I want to stop and jump off the board (like when coming to some sidewalk curb that I want to carry the board). Lustig find ich auch das man mit der Fernsteuerung hupen können soll Wie hört sich die an? --- The horn is funny...if you can imagine a electronic chirping sound..
