Meepo V2 losing speed
Hey there!
I've been cruising on the Meepo V2S for quite a while. Bought it used back in early 2023 and have used it almost daily every summer since.
Today I noticed that the motors (?) have lost quite a lot of speed. It's not noticable when cruising at lower speed, but today when I was feeling like going a little faster I noticed the board topped out at 27KM/H, which is way less than the 35KM/H i used to get out of it. Probably more actually, but I haven't felt comfortable going faster than that yet. I just know that it had more power to give ;P. The motors still feel quite powerful when accelerating, the only difference now is that it tops out way lower than before. This probably didn't happen overnight, I only noticed it now as I don't always go all out. And yes, they're the original motors that came with the board. Probably 6+ years old by now...
I listened to the motors when I got back home, and I can hear a clear inconsistency in the speed. Even when having full throttle, you could hear fluctuations in all speed modes. I doubt that it's the controller as I tried fidgeting with the trigger but didn't hear any noticable difference. Still feels responsive and smooth to me when riding.
I'm guessing it's the motors being on their last breath, but I'd like a second opinion. I'm thinking of buying new motors instead of a new board as I enjoy recycling and repairing more than buying new. The battery still has AMAZING range so I don't feel like I *HAVE* to buy a new board yet ;P
Any thoughts on what the issue could be?
