    I actually did get into a crash because I turned instead of broke but in my defense my brakes where more fucked than I thought til I got on, I shouldn’t have been riding that thing lmao.

    Also of you own a lectric xp and put a 52v battery on it, the speed limited becomes a suggestion. Ask me how I known lol.

    Seriously though, next builds getting hydraulic brakes and a motor you can program to handle higher voltage batteries in a more reserved manner.
