exactly the type of videos i needed, sometimes it feels like i need to be a mechanic to understand eboards. This is awesome and all i need is to understand the belts that go with the pulleys.
This the video I will share to anyone who doesn’t understand about how pulleys work. Very well done Fred, thank you for making this informative video🤙👌
Nice video. One thing I would mention is that at the end of the day what effects the performance of the board is the ratio between the rotation rate of the motor axle and the wheel (Gear ratio). When you change the pulley size and wheel size this alters the gear ratio which alters the top speed/ acceleration. The other things that has an effect is the moment of inertia of the wheel and how much the wheel deforms while it’s rolling (nematic wheels deform more then PU wheels)
Education is important. I see comments and random throw away lines from other youtubers about different pullys not working. This right here was hella informative. Thanks dude. Keep up with the informative content while that gash heals.
Good info. I have verreal and backfire. The backfire pulley bearing is huge.15mm. Do certain pulleys only work on certain boards? Or truck style? Lmk. Hoping your expertise can help me. Thnx
@@norcaldave so backfire and most exway products have a different pully than most. there bearing are superrr large so unless u wanna use all backfires and exways with each other, all the others mostly fit other boards besides those two
Thanks again, Fred, for yet another educational video. My 32t's should be here soon. Now we just need your ankle to heal and a break in the cold weather ⚡️
Question, Torque/acceleration is that jerky feeling when maxing out the throttle on the remote? I know this is mitiagtes by proper stance and overall adaptation to the board. Does bigger vs smaller have a bigger power draw? Like less range using one over the other
Super solid video. I appreciate you not making the “best board” comments. However, it would be cool to maybe see your reviews of the boards in a group test, but definitely to have your reviews of different wheels on different boards/trucks
Hey I've got A question about motor pulleys in general.. I've been looking for some D Shape 15T motor pulleys and can't find much other than some 6061 aluminum motor pulleys from HTD with double grub screws.. just wondering is 6061 pulleys will be strong enough or will only steel work?
I have a question. I have verreal and backfire boards. The backfire pulley bearing is huge.15mm. I'm assuming I cant use it on my verreal board. Do certain pulleys only work on certain trucks...boards?
You gotta talk about belts. Belt knowledge is key to pulleys. Size matters 12mm width compared to 15mm. It’s different on some boards. 265,275,325 etc.
Great video, just what I needed as a beginner! Do you know of any smaller tooth pulley sets that are compatible with the stock acedeck rim? Changed to the hotas but my top speed is slower than I'd like.
I know this video is a bit older but so much great info in here. I do have a question. I just got the cloudwheel FE 105s and love them but the 44t pulley doesnt have a front bearing like my stock exway pulley does. I assume this is to make the pulley more universal but should i be worried about that? Im wondering if i should order the exway 44t which does have a front bearing. Or is this a pretty nominal difference?
@@Subie_699 thanks bud. yes this video will ALWAYS be a great educational flick for the community. exways pullies are tricky. but i know what u mean. however the kit comes from cloudwheels, i would use. Some of them dont need the front bearing. spin it and see how it spins on the axle without the wheel. make sure theres no wobble/play
Could I pair the 40t with the dad bods on my hurricane? I like that low down torque so it would interest me. Also if so, what sort of top speed would I be looking at? 29/30??
thanks bud.. the exway trucks are a bit different from most other truck axles. I believe the atlas is a lot larger so the bearings for ur pullies are much larger in diameter . if im right about that, then ur stuck with what exway sells with there kegal sets (make sure its the 10 hole/prongs, not 12 that they have that comes standard)… but as i mentioned in the video, its really personal preference but with that board id go for 36t - 38T
Hey bro, you ever have any issues with your evolves locking up the brakes? I’m on my 5th board and it finally happened to me. Never had an issue with any of my other boards. But just got this new Stoke 2 and it tried to kill me
nah i haven’t.. one of my stokes motors went bad. and they replaced it the next cpl days. and my orginal gtr , i damaged my remote, it lost connection eventually and the board free rolled. .. a brand new remote and it was good as new..is there a energy source to actually lock up the brakes by themselves? i thought that was cleared up with “electroheads” youtube channel. iv had other manufacturers launch me off with other malfunctions tho 😞
@@esk8unity it was definitely a remote calibration issue, after the second ride where it repeated it. I turned on the board again. And the remote went straight into the calibration screen. Scary they sent the remote out without being properly calibrated, it had the wrong pulley size selected too in the remote
@@machyne82 try do replicate it on video and send it to em. when i show them a video of proof of a issue, there only question they ask me is my address to verify where to send me a new one. lots of otjer companies u dont even get a response back. 🤙🏼
Hey Fred, I'm confused. I thought more teeth on the wheel pulleys mean faster acceleration and lower top speed, and vice versa for pulleys with lower teeth count. Are you saying that you prefer smaller pulleys because you are willing to sacrifice acceleration for a higher top speed? Wouldn't accelerating from 20mph with smaller pulleys be weaker in this case?
yes thats correct. so if ur using larger T pully, and ur already traveling at 20-22mph, and u hit the throttle, ur not really gettn much more juice outta the board. so a smaller pully will allow u to have more speed left in the tank throttling at 20mph: acceleration off the line is already very good for a lot of these newer boards even with smaller pullies
@@darrylg2043 bad roads n small wheels is definitely more challenging. BUT dont let anyone prevent u from improving. my 85mm can run over anything a boosted/cloud/madwheel can do . 💯 happy to help
Hey man, great video, I also love to ride fast with street wheels, great to hear all this info coming from you who got experience with all these boards! I just ordered an Ownboard Zeus Pro Bamboo P42A, I also added Ownboards 40T kegal pulley but watching your video I'm realizing I probably want a smaller pulley for my 90mm Meepo/future kegal wheels. So through your video I understand that Evolve pulleys fit the Ownboard Zeus Pro Trucks? Are there any other brand pulleys that fit the Zeus Pro?
So I ordered evolve wheels and can't use them.... what belt size and what Pulleys can I use on my zeus pro? Nothing like waiting to get your order just to have it not fit....
evolve wheels are specific to there own pullies. u can use other abec pullies, but there will have a little play. send me a dm on instagram. ill help ya out
Great video. I ride a Meepo Hurricane belt drive on 200mm pneumatics and 66T pulley. Never been happier. I’ll never go back to polys.
exactly the type of videos i needed, sometimes it feels like i need to be a mechanic to understand eboards. This is awesome and all i need is to understand the belts that go with the pulleys.
happy to help 🙏🏼 👍🏼
Glad to see you still making videos after that ankle injury, get well & stay on the grind 💪🔥
nice information here my man, heal up and stop re-hurting yourself!
Yes, this is a real find and this video should go down in history and be saved in my bookmarks and for all beginners.

hey bud thank u! very good question and not that i know of. those rims are definitely 🔥 too
Nicee Video!!! now all you need is to make a video on belts and which sizes would be best for performance, speed and ect
Smaller wheels and smaller pulleys for range?
Hey
Want to know what a good pulley for Tynee mini 3 pro ? 😊

I purchased a second hand board, carbon gtr , what number teeth pulleys come standard with 97 street , 165 , neumatic,?? Thanks
standard is 32t with there own abec 97mm style core. and there 7” /175mm tires are 66T
Could I pair the 40t with the dad bods on my hurricane? I like that low down torque so it would interest me. Also if so, what sort of top speed would I be looking at? 29/30??
40t is a pretty big pully. so u will have a good amount if torque off the line. not lots of high speed. im thinking 29-31mph
As always. The best at it 💪🏾💪🏾👍🏽👍🏽
Hey, nice vid bro. I have a Ex way atlas pro 2nd and the momentum hollow 105mm wheels, what toothed pully would you recommend?
thanks bud.. the exway trucks are a bit different from most other truck axles.

Now the question is, how to choose a belt for the desired pulley? Is this your next video?
Great info bro!! Appreciate you explaining the differences here 👌🏽
I hope your getting better man keep riding Bro GT bamboo old skool 👍🏿🛹🛹❤
Love your content. Keep it coming. I wish they made more pulleys for AT. Do you use 47T evolve pulleys with your 150mm hota's?
yep! good eye! the evolve 6 are good too. just as good. however, they have new 6” coming 🤐
Would you say the Propel Pivot GT competes with the performance boards you have?
What smaller pulley do you use for your hota 6inch tires? I have a set of my own but with a 58T pulley.
i put the hota tire on the evolve hub to utilize there 47t 🤙🏼. i also have a couple sets of meepo 55T 🤙🏼
@@esk8unity Thanks, great informative video! Really loved it 🤙
With 110 cyclone wheels I can have 36T?
I got the isinwheel V10 and i was wondering if you think the verreal madd wheels and the 40t pully included is a good fit kegel style? Thanks
@@ElectricskateboardRiderz yes of course. good choice .
Thank you
Hey Fred great video...will the belts still work when you go to a smaller pully or are you buying smaller belts?
usually u need smaller belts when u go smaller pully.
@ESK8UNITY 36t on zues pro 255?
@@dssranger278 i think u might need 260. but try it out.
So I I want more speed with my onsra should I get at 32 t or 38t
32T. with a bigger street wheel

Does pulley size affect range?
not exactly
Bloody brilliant video
Very informative , thank you !.
How does 32t vs 36t with 90mm affect range?
it doesnt.. range will be affected on how u aggressive u throttle.
So what would you use for the verreal rs on 105 mad wheels to get better low end acceleration?
id do 36 or 38T
