Same with me I think the owner/ sales director is Kerui Zhang… he´s also the owner of Secutronic… unfortunately the biggest liar walking around like that. I sent them back a motor system … a year ago nothing came back. answers: we will send soon…, sorry we are so busy…
I can tell you exactly what is broken … it is the ball bearing that blocks everything. We had absolutely the same problems, then we took everything apart and in fact the problem is that the motor has a rigid shaft. At the end there is a ceramic ball bearing (actually super quality). However, the person who builds the boards has no idea of mechanics. In fact, due to the rigid axle, the ball bearing is loaded incorrectly and breaks. Then the motor blocks and it breaks down and that’s it.
… but these boards have much more problems than the motor system. The real problem is you can’t fix anything because everything has been put together somehow.
Hi, I’ve bought two of those from Noodato. At the base, the product look not to bad, but there is many conception problem. I have two impeller broke and their service is nothing. I have to open dispute with them. Is there anybody around here who could help me about how to dismantal the impeller. I’m gonna make a new one with 3d printer.
Trying to get anywhere with this company is like pulling teeth. We ordered a sample and the battery and charger melted down and caught fire the fire charge. They will not replace or refund the board. They want to keep sending replacement parts. These boards are very dangerous.
I bought 2 of their surfboards. Considering their price point, no complains so far. Their service have been good and will look forward to more of their products.

Nice try but i doubt that. Did you just join the forum to make this 1 post. Post Proof or Scam.
Looks like you got lucky. We had one catch our shop on fire while charging then the replacement electrocuted one of my employees the first time he put it in the water and hit the throttle sending him to the hospital with 3rd degree burns. Our insurance company won’t cover us anymore if we were to carry noodato products. Our companies attorneys can’t even get ahold of anyone. Numerous attempts to contact noodato legal department which come to find out they don’t have. They must have picked up good parts at the flea market when they were building your units in their apartment. They have thumbs down with consumer safety administration and customs due to battery fires.
That sounds terrible, [Money_sp33der_9000… Please post more details, maybe a foto or video of boards / fire and quality , it will be great example and case study to warn others.
Hi Alex. I bought a Noodato electric surfboard last April Received it beginning of July. Right from the beginning there was issues with the speed controller cutting out unexpectedly sending me flying forward face first into the water. Issue increased over the summer last year and Paul noodato was no help. I am an electrician and an avid rc enthusiast so I decided to spend the winter reading and looking into (esc) electric speed controllers for surfboards and bikes etc. anyways as of July 29th this year I finally took my first ride back on the water with a new esc bought elsewhere and settings in the far-driver app that I had to figure out pretty much by myself. Thus the long learning curve. I do not recommend noodato boards to anyone, but now that I’ve figured out the esc issue and know how to fix it I’m looking for people who own noodato boards that are not working and are in need of help. Sorry about your impeller issue. Can you get one on Alibaba?
