Both of my back wheels have started separating between orange & clear materials. 1st wheel was at 300Km, 2nd at 400Km. My eSk8 now feels likes it’s buzzing plenty while riding, & the delaminating wheels wobble, which makes the smooth experience I’m used to jarring

Hi all. I’m brand new to skateboards/eboards and I have a few questions if yall wouldn’t mind answering. For context, I have a gen1 halo board beast that I purchased as broken, but got it working with a new esc and remote.
I’m looking to replace the wheels on it, but the ones that are on the motors are stuck on the shaft to a degree that I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I read online that all you gotta do is take the one nut off and the wheel should slide off, but that’s def not the case. Any advice on how to get a stuck wheel off?
I don’t know what wheels are compatible with the board, but research suggests that Cloudwheels Discovery will work. Is that a good choice for mostly riding on the sidewalk and street? Is there something better I should buy instead? And how much range should I expect to lose when swapping to bigger wheels?
I had to replace the esc on this board and buy a new remote as well. I read that you have to input the wheel diameter into the remote settings to get accurate speed and range to display. The current wheels are 97mm and that’s what I put in, but it’s way off. It’s showing I’m going 20+mph when I’m only going about 10. What do I actually input for 97mm, and for 120mm wheels if I do get those?
Many thanks in advance.
My son, 10 years old, 100ish pounds, pretty athletic took an interest in trying out my board (old Backfire Ranger x2) and loves it. He now wants his own board, but I’m not turning a 10 year old loose with a board like that. It’s too much power and he struggles a bit committing enough to make sharper turns with a board that size. Thoughts on something like the Nalu for him? I want something easy to turn, reasonable top speed so he and friends don’t kill themselves or others, ideally small enough he can toss it in his locker at school and ride around with friends afterwards. Let me know if there are other boards I should be looking at. I don’t want to go a lot over $500, and backfire is just what I know so I went there. I don’t want something cheap either where he breaks it within a few weeks.
Reached this mark while riding to work. The light was beautiful
TL:DR: Is Meepo as bad as reddit says or as good as you tube promises?
I would like to buy my first electric longboard and I am looking for an all terrain. Meepo Rover is the most budget friendly choice and youtube is filled with dozens of youtubers that received the board for free and say it's the best thing ever. On the other side on reddit I read a lot of malfunctioning, bad customer experience etc...
I am quite confused, do all electric longboard require as much attention as meepo? Would you generally recommend it?
For reference I am based on EU, are there any other brands you would recommend available here?
Hello I recently bought a Tynee Ultra Belt and it’s been making this weird sound since I started riding yesterday. Anyone have any explanation for it like a loose bolt or something?
