The main difference is an 'upgraded' speed controller as far as I can tell, I think the one on the mk6 looks more robust to be honest

MK6


MK7

Plus there's 2 long bolts holding the motor to the frame on the mk7 instead of one bolt on the mk6

Believe there were issues with the MK6 regarding the single bolt motor fixing with the MK7 they have addressed this issue as previously mentioned

someone posted about this issue a while back

If was something to do with the way the back wheels are positioned or pressure ... I cant quite remember

Never had an issue with mine

I think when it's been mentioned before the problem is the rear wheels aren't adjusted to the same height

yes make sure the rear wheels are the same height /level and the tyre pressure is the same,im thinking of getting solid rear wheels.

Yes mine did the same I fixed it by making a spacer to go between the frame and the rear leg pivot

As mentioned make sure the wheels are the same level. I got the puncture proof wheels after getting a puncture after a couple of outings, 2 people I know that have the MK6 also suffered punctures within a couple of trips (weirdly all on the right wheel)

Only issues I've had with mine is the charger/battery's. Now on my 3rd set after the charger supplied by prestige cooked the battery's. They replaced the charger but wouldn't do nothing with the battery's and even said it's was normal for the battery's to get hot and be bubbling away 😳😳

Bought a C-Tek charger and another set of batteries and had no issues since

That's strange Boo, both punctures I had were right wheel 🤔
The inner tubes were proper cheap pvc ****, replaced them both with butyl

The rear wheels on mine were not inline, the left wheel was slightly further back even when they were set at exactly the same height, the spacer I fitted in the frame brought it forward enough to stop the pull.

I never used the supplied charger, I have motorcycles so have proper 12v chargers, never had any battery issues.
As Boo said the C-tec chargers are very good,

I now have the 24V Extreme big boy and charge the batteries separately rather than using the supplied 24v charger.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
