New XR!!!!

@biell That sounds about right. Can't wait to see one in bits so we can see what goes on inside ^-^
Name is totally a bit odd but glad they didn't yoink my XS name 😅

gonna make this a dream to ride by comparison.
yes this is what everyone wanted all those years ago. i didnt check but 21mph pushback would be dreamy.

I was wondering if you could take a low voltage but beefy battery in parallel, adn drive the motor at a higher voltage with a series of supercaps or hypercaps or ultra mega cap... if think you know what im trying to say... I want one of those tiny mfers so bad i can taste it! I'd take it to conferences!
XR's got what plants crave!

@notsure I won't get too much into it here but there were a few limiting factors in the old design that some custom bits hopefully will fix. Battery was one but not entirely.
Thankfully this isn't considered a flagship board so I'm safe still making a tiny GTS.
Back on topic though I am super curious what sort of things modders will manage by swapping bits. Kinda like how various parts from the V1 Plus and XR were alike and swappable the same is true for the new gen boards like Pint and up.

I have noticed the power outlet is not in the same place as the original XR and is not center to the rail.
In the new vid Kyle did say it was new bumpers but same footpads as GT -

Also Ricky Glaser got one and Bodhi comfirmed gradient tracking

I'd have ripped around the Bellagio lobby till they chased me down and ordered me to stop! Was very interested in popping over to that place nearby to rent one last time. Needs to be plane friendly and TSA-approved.

@notsure Technically, yes, but practically, no.
Any conversion is going to have a loss component (heat). Stepping voltage down isn't so bad because you sip current to do that, but to step voltage up you need to draw more current, so you are pushing the batteries harder in addition to the waste.
This is why the car charger requires a 24v, 10A capable cigarette lighter outlet, but still can only slow charge the board.

@biell It was very much a theoretical inquiry - inspired by waves!

teardown vid by FixMyPEV
113 volts?! I could lick that!

@loaffette from what he can see GT (not GTS) in an XR frame one of the comments said the motor is different but we shall see when that is confirmed by either Justin or probably TFL.

Justin has done some science for the community to see if GT rails fit the XRC modules and vice versa.
TLDW; XRC modules will fit in GT rails but you won't fit a GT battery box in the XRC rails. Controller module will fit regardless.

WOW new beast!Like a lot!GT sux,too heayv

Diffrence:battry& rails
You made battery box for GT,rigth?Made 4 XR Classc! Would take 20 min 4you!,has same lid,proly same led window,just shallower.
