⚡ *More gear drives!* ⚡ The more the better, increases competition and choice 🤙🏼 Nice new text style man. You know it's game time when the music starts! Nice clean design.
You made the same comment as my sister said.lol :) Your comments always seem to know exactly what I want to show and say~ That's why I love your comments HaHa~ Thank you brother!
I always have this feeling that you keep on giving us little presents . thank you for the built. I would love to know how these stack up to the meepo gear drives . Also it would be cool if you make a comparesment between these current drives , the jumpdrives and the most common , the boardnamic drives,
Thank you for saying that ~ And everything is different from the gear drive of the meepo except it has four gears. (The combination way of the gear box and motor, the bearing mounting method of the gear, the cutting shape of the gear, etc) And if I have a chance, I'll try :)
I really like the final look of this re-build and the motor sounds nice for a ride where it's not too noisy but enough to warn pedestrians. I'd like to try gear drives someday
I really like the look of the shorter boards and big wheels like this and the Lacroix. Super cool and hope you enjoy using it 😊 the weather in the UK is terrible at the moment.
@@fujio001maintenance is very easy. I just opened mine recently to clean and add new grease. There's a good video here: th-cam.com/video/3s0nzvxzgZw/w-d-xo.html
Just FYI regarding Newbees hubs, they need 22.0mm bearing spacers. 22.2mm spacers will need to be sanded down in order for the outer bearing races to make contact with the wheel. I also used Loctite 609 between the bearings and hubs to prevent the outer races from spinning since the hubs are machined with loose tolerance for easy bearing install.
This board looks like fancy crossover in urban environment. Meant to ride off-road but to cool too get dirty:) You are piling up on board already. If it is your flat you live in, it is starting to look like garage with carpet. Nice;)
I'm happy that your testing the good stuff and we can decide if it works for us, or not... Very good review as always 👍 This will now be exciting which brand will offer this Geardrive in a complete board. After Apex now offers an outstanding, Acedeck also offers a quiet and Meepo now follows (only individually purchasable)... Where is the journey going? Is the belt drive still up to date?
@@MarkRockShock Actually the gear drive Meepo are offering now looks very inspired by the Newbee drive. Also the Exway too. Gear drives have been around for a while now but were mostly used by DIYers. Now they are being adopted by the mass-market manufacturers.
i think gear drive is ovehyped. 20mm belt is much lighter, have customizable gear ratio, have less noise and cheaper(almost all components can be 3d printed)
I also agree with you to a certain extent. However, in the case of this 4GS, there was no significant difference in weight and the drive noise was smaller than that of a belt drive. Each drive has its pros and cons, but what I felt the most from the review is that there are more choices to experience these new technologies on the Esk8. And I think it could be much more satisfying for someone~ Thank you for watching and for your comment too :)
@@ryanschulz9893 There's already way more usage of gear drives than direct drives. They have already been around for a while now but have mostly been used on higher end boards (e.g. Kaly, Bioboards, etc.) and in the DIY community. It's just that you're now starting to see the mass-market manufacturers like Meepo, Exway, Acedeck, and others adopting them.

a metal spur gear....the using what is likely Delrin nylon meshing gears.....that is not going to have a long life span.....even if the gears were glass filled nylon which is much stranger and hard wearing.....how do you see these lasting wear wise...metal against plastic is not a good competition for loaded gears?!?!?
I felt the same way as you when I was not familiar with the material of POM. However, after learning that it is used as a gear material for many electric car companies, I looked for more knowledge about it. Gear made of POM material reduces noise generation and has a lower friction coefficient than metal gear, so there is less heat generation. This eliminates the need to use many lubricants. In terms of durability, it can be said that it has been proven as much as it is used in cars. (They also placed metal and POM gears together.) Thanks~
This design is not like others. A lot of load is spread through the secondary gears. They did a lot of testing including jumping, etc. However of course time will tell. After 3000 km on one set I opened it up and everything looks fantastic. We'll see.
@@KAMiJUINs Hi there, I am very familiar with POM which is nylon as I am an automotive engineer, normal POM is soft as you know from experience of nylon products, ergo this is not normal nylon and is most likely Delrin a very hard form of nylon. Note nylon is highly suseptable to moisture absorbtion (hydroscopic)and thus swelling Delrin being a moderate exception to this rule. Delrin is used more on loading gears, such as light weight mechanisms an example being runners on sliding doors or gearing on moving doors on low duty cycle machinery. POM is widely used on geared system but only generally in things like motorised window winders and other relatively low abuse and low duty cycle parts, a classic example of POM is the toothed gear on a Scalextric ar or RC car, but the difference is they dont pull around 75kg over rough terrain, lets hope they do last buddy would be good if they do....but i have my reservations....fingers crossed
@@AdrianCho The issue is less about load, although this does play a significant factor in it, it is about two fundamental things, material hardness and the abrasion of metal against plastic, as i pointed out hopefully they are delrin, the next is torque inputs, the constant shift of load and torque combined slowly fatigues plastics, you cannot tell by looking, now jumping though it may seem to have bearing is less influential most shock is absorbed by the tyres and wheel, a moderate amount is transferred to the teeth in the drive train, but, despite having done 3000km which in actual fact is very low milage the reality jumping would have constituted only a tiny % of that ride time, and if most was then done on none aggressive terrain like rocky trails etc then loads will have been low to moderate, as far a wear you will be barely able to tell it an certainly not by looking only by measuring changes in back lash, as far a fatigue zero chance of observing it, and this is the issue, once it reaches it fatigue yield duty cycle it will give no warning and simply shear teeth.....however all this being said, if the riding one wishes to do is mainly street and smooth paths then yeah it certainly is a viable option. just seem odd to use plastic when the very same gear would readily be available in metal.

Thank you brother~ :) you 2!!!

Actually this is quieter than belts. There's a reason why Meepo and others have released similar drives.
I bought both 20mm belt setup, newbee 4GS and Boardnamics M1-AT. The belt setup was the most expensive. 4GS was quietest and the best design.

I believe there is a mistake in the video, the bearing OD should be 28mm not 23mm (if I'm not mistaking)
Oh, you're right. I misread the scale of a ruler.

This one looks slick! Do you sell your builds?
Thank you for saying that and according to Korea's customs law, individuals cannot send products with large capacity batteries overseas.
Wow that is quiet. Can the gear drives handle hard breaking or torque or do you need to have a larger curve(longer) in deceleration?
There is a softness and quietness, but the acceleration curve and braking curve are as intuitive as a typical gear drive.
Man that's a lot of noise compared to my electric unicycle.
What kind of grease you used inside the gearbox? Nice graphics on the deck.👍
