weird noise after 81 km (50 mi) on a 2024 City, is it normal ?

Two weeks old, 81 km (50 mi) on it. Dual motor, bought new.

I'm getting a knock from the front end. Shows up over bumps and rough pavement, and I can feel it inside the bars when it happens. There's an other video : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KW8Dgd_S5WwrlbOP_2UHPQFQVTHAXcEh/view?usp=sharing

What I've already done: torqued everything accessible per the manual
Lubed the front suspension, no change. Adjusted the front drum cable early on because it was rubbing, but the noise is there with no brake input.

Ordered an Acedeck Nomad N1 in April, waited 2 months, and UPS just delivered me a box of face cream instead. Anyone had a mix-up like this with Acedeck?

Bit of a wild one. I ordered an Acedeck Nomad N1 (AT gear drive) back on April 28, shipped from China by ocean freight through a forwarder, with UPS for the last mile. Partway through, I changed my delivery address and Acedeck issued a new UPS tracking number for it.

Yesterday I watched the package finally hit a UPS facility in Ontario and got hyped. After ~2 months I figured my board had made it and I'd finally have it for my summer vacation. Today it showed up at my door... and it was a box packed with someone else's "Turmeric Whitening Face Cream."

Looks like the forwarder put my UPS label on the wrong box and my order got crossed with another customer's. The box was 15 inches long, so obviously never going to be a longboard.

For anyone who's ordered from Acedeck: have you dealt with a wrong or mixed-up shipment like this before? How did their support handle it, did they locate the board, reship, or refund? I've already emailed their support, just trying to gauge what to expect.

Im soo mad right now :'(

Got my first automatic watch ever

I paid $475 CAD (~$343 USD) for it. I think it’s a great first model to start in the world of horology. The Bulova Surveyor Automatic, blue dial, which is magnificent and perfect for my small wrist. (Bulova Surveyor)

I am soo happy with it.

Hey everyone,

I just pulled the trigger on a Meepo Rover for $1000 CAD (~$730 USD) on Amazon. I'm currently debating if I should return it and go for the Hurricane Bamboo Pro instead, which is currently $1600 CAD (~$1170 USD) here in Canada.

My Context:

  • The Daily: 8km (5 miles) round-trip to university. I live in Sherbrooke, Canada, which is notoriously hilly (lots of 10-15% grades).
  • The Challenge: Once a week, I plan to ride from my apartment to my parents' house. It’s a 27.3km (17 miles) trip one-way on a paved bike path with roughly 200m of total elevation gain.
  • Riding Style: I’m a chill cruiser. I plan to lock my speed at 20-25 km/h (12-15 mph) to maximize efficiency. I’m not a speed demon.
  • Background: Coming from a Lycaon GR (hub motors). I'm comfortable with basic maintenance.

My Dilemma:

  1. Range Anxiety: Can the Rover’s 432Wh battery actually make that 27.3km hilly trip if I stay strictly at 20km/h? Or am I going to end up walking the last 5km?
  2. The "Upgrade" Path: I noticed Meepo uses the same "Hurricane Series" branding for their batteries. Is it possible to swap the Rover's battery for the 864Wh Samsung 50S pack from the Hurricane later on? Are the internal enclosure dimensions and ESC connectors (XT60/90) identical?
  3. Value: Is the extra $600 CAD for the Hurricane worth it just for the peace of mind on that weekly long ride, or is it overkill for a student who needs to carry the board into classrooms?

If the battery swap is a confirmed "plug-and-play" or a simple mod, I’d rather keep the lighter Rover for now.

Has anyone tried fitting a Hurricane battery into a Rover? Any advice is appreciated!
