Can't find your question? Let us know: support@buildkitboards.com
This is my first electric skateboard and I'm not very handy with tools, can I actually build it?
Yes! The kits are designed to be extremely easy to assemble. All of the tools are included, and the instructions are very thorough. Many customers tell us how fun (and educational) it was to build, along with how easy the process was!
Can you ship to my country?
More than likely, yes! Our international shipments are processed with DHL and typically take 3-6 days to arrive! We also offer different charger plug options depending on your needs.
Can I buy the kits without X part? (Ex. Deck, trucks, wheels, etc)
Unfortunately not. All of our kits are designed to work seamlessly together so assembly is easy. When we sold kits without certain parts, customers were upset when their own parts weren't 100% compatible with the kit. While the kits are modular, not every skate part works with them. It is best to build the kit with all of the stock parts to learn how it works, and then tinker and swap out parts.
Are there different speed modes on the remote?
There are three different acceleration modes built into the remote. This drastically affects how long it takes to get to the top speed, but each mode will still reach the top speed of the board. The acceleration modes are 33% (Green) 60% (Yellow) and 100% (Red)
Can I view and track my rides on my phone?
Yes! There are iOS and Android versions of the app available (linked above). Currently, these are not designed by BKB but they work with the open source VESC platform.
Is there a warranty?
Yes! All kits come with a 90 day warranty that covers manufacturer errors. We will provide free replacement parts during this time period, and after the 90 days are up we can provide replacement parts at cost if anything does go wrong.
How often should I change the belts?
Our drivetrain is designed to be highly efficient and requires very little maintenance. Belts rarely break unless a rock/debris gets between the pulley and belt. Most customers go 1-2 years before changing the belts. If you purchase the belt guards, you receive 50% off of belts for the lifetime of the board. They prevent debris from entering the drivetrian in the first place!
Should I get the Tayto or Duo?
Good question! Here are some things to think about. What is the purpose of the board? Are you lighter in weight and have a shorter college commute? Go with the single motor Tayto. It is easy to carry and perfect for campus. Want to have 20 miles of fun, have enough power to climb any hill, and still easily carry the board? Go with the Dual Motor Tayto. The Duo is the most versatile board we offer. It is great for all weight classes of riders and is comfortable to ride. The long flexible decks absorbs road vibrations and allows you to stretch your legs (if you're taller). The Duo can also accommodate the longer 6in pneumatic tires. The Duo is a great city cruiser.
Should I update the firmware?
No! Do NOT update the firmware. When we send the ESC it is programmed with stable firmware that does not have any knows bugs. Newer firmware versions can cause problems. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
