Identification of error

yo I have no idea what error this is if someone could lmk and perhaps provide a good starting point to resolve it that’d be much appreciated.

for context, this is a stealth I think it’s XR? anyways, left it on charge for about seven months, decided I wanted to take it out for a ride today and voila

Mini X charge port cover

Does anyone know where I can obtain the dust/water cover for my XR battery? My dad accidentally ripped mine out somehow while I was gone on a trip, just looking for something that works the same.

Electric skateboard / Boosted Board options in Bordeaux?

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to Bordeaux and I’m looking to get an electric skateboard for getting around the city.
Does anyone know any good skateboard or electric mobility shops in Bordeaux where I can actually see or try electric boards before buying?

I’ve always liked Boosted Boards, so I’m also wondering if there’s any realistic way to find a used Boosted Board in Bordeaux or elsewhere in France. Since Boosted shut down a few years ago, would you still recommend buying one in 2026, or is it not worth it anymore because of battery, parts and repair issues?

If Boosted isn’t a good idea anymore, I’d really appreciate recommendations for similar electric boards that have good build quality, range and after-sales support in France.

Also, if anyone rides an electric skateboard regularly in Bordeaux, I’d love to hear how practical it is for getting around the city and whether you’ve had any issues with the roads or local regulations.

Thanks!

Need help

Does anyone know what this is? Everything I see online about the red light of death is a little different and i haven’t been able to find anything about the led lights lighting up like this. It has been sitting in my storage for a while. Any help is appreciated.

Boosted Mini X - Knocking / Belt Slipping during hard braking.

Hey there. I bought a Mini X with less than 100 miles on it - 50 just put on by me in past 2 months and when I need to brake hard, I’m getting a knocking from the belts which I assume is the belt(s) slipping. I removed everything and replaced
the belts and after 10-15 miles it’s back when I brake hard. I tightened the belts as much as possible, maybe too much? What should the belt tension be?
Thx.

Can someone help a homeless guy fix his board I will beg if needed

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all having some fantastic rides out there. I'm reaching out today with a bit of a challenging situation, and I'm really hoping the incredible generosity I've seen in our e-skate community might be able to lend a hand.

About a month ago, the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) on my secondhand Endeavor 2 sadly decided to give up. It's completely fried and, rather inconveniently, is stuck in a reverse-only loop, which definitely makes getting around a bit difficult!

To be completely open, I'm currently in a really tough spot financially, and my electric skateboard isn't just a hobby – it's genuinely my main form of transportation. It's how I manage to get anywhere, and crucially, how I'm hoping to get to interviews and eventually secure a job. Without it, things are proving to be incredibly challenging for me right now.

I know how amazingly supportive the e-skate community is; I've heard so many stories about riders helping each other out, often by gifting old parts to keep fellow enthusiasts rolling. With that in mind, I was wondering if by any chance someone out there might happen to have a spare stock ESC for an Endeavor 2 that they'd be willing to part with.

It would be an absolute lifeline and would truly mean the world to me to get back on my board and back on my feet. If you think you might be able to help, or even if you just have some advice or leads, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm really eager to get back to cruising and moving forward!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and for being such an awesome community.

When your wheel comes off at 20mph…

Did a belt change and didn’t tighten the axel nut down enough and the right wheel came off mid ride..

at first i thought my truck had snapped… but thankfully no..

skid plate took all the abuse and saved my new belt lol… don’t think i’ve ever seen a skid plate with a hole thru it 🤣

Loud rattling noise in motor

I picked up a new board from FB marketplace, rode it for a bit and it all of a sudden started a very loud rattling noise. When spinning the wheel by hand, every full rotation also gives a “click noise” in the motor.

Does anyone know what could be the cause? I’ve never opened one of the motors so a bit hesitant to do so. The board did include a belt servicing pack. Videos attached show the rattling noise very clearly.

Thanks in advance!
