meepmeepmayer Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Probably the water didn't get in due to the wheels moving forward. If they had stood still in there, pretty sure the water would have flown in through the pedal arm channel (there's a small slit there) and board, motor connectors, battery connectors etc would have necessarily been (partially) underwater. I don't think any coating alone would have been enough then. Coatings are for small drops and condensation, not actually electronics being submerged where every square millimeter would have to be protected for this to work out. @Rehab1 Why did Marty throw away a KS18? *nitpick police* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @SuperSport said they had coated their boards somehow to make them more waterproof. Todd’s wheel has the hydrophobic spray on the board (Video Below). That will keep the board safe even when submerged for long periods, but the batteries would have been in danger since they were not coated. If you watch the video, I actually did stop in the middle with my pedals under water for about a minute. I then rode through the deeper portion where my feet were totally submerged. When I arrived home, I opened my wheel to inspect, and not even a drop of water had entered the wheel. The other guys also inspected theirs and found no signs of entry. That was surprising to me as I also thought that slot on the bottom was an opening. In reality, if you look closely, it’s designed to be a seal. I’ve also ridden in hurricane rain conditions with Todd for hours at a time and also not had any water ingress issues. With all that said, I am NOT recommending anyone else try what we did on those rides. I was full aware when I did it, that it might have turned out differently.

I could make it about 4 hours long Well there was that one part at 1:48 where they traveled at warp speed to the fountain and the other at 4:29 ... Good to see larger groups of people riding around. It was interesting to see no one wearing any helmets, knee pads, or gloves of any sort except for the one guy.
