any problem with torque steering using just the one motor? i’m wondering if that insanely awesome suspension helps with that.
Thanks for the comments!
I like to answer the questions, so don’t be afraid to ask them!
Is there an advantage over normal skateboard trucks? If wished to ride for performance, for example extreme driving with high speeds and jumps a normal skateboard system will be absolutely better, they are simple, light weight, reliable and proven. Also you only need a board and not a frame. It was not the goal to beat the traditional board by performance, but to build something difference, and look with another view to skateboarding. So are the trucks an advantage for performance? No it is not an performance advantage, It is different but works very well, for cruising and fun driving through offroad paths it’s works fine.
From telnoi: it looks like the board is really sensitive and that it requires relatively little force/pressure from the feet to turn. Around 44 seconds in, I also noticed the board quickly swirling to the right. Not sure if the board tracks easily, or if it simply requires more practice
This was my first time riding it on a mountainbike path, riding onroad is way easier than the offroad paths.
I use springs on both sides to hold the board in the straight position, There has to be a balance between steering at low speed and steering at high speed. By using stiffer springs the board can’t steer in his max steering position what I use on lower speed. By driving on high speed you don’t want that the board is steering sensitive because than you can loose the balance if the board is steering sharp. I adjusted the springs and also the pendulum to get a balance between this. A wish is to add oil dampers to the steering system in the future. This prevents the possibility of suddenly steering at higher speeds what can result in a wobble and loosing balance. Now it is is fine to drive it with 20- 23km/h average. (measured by gps).
About the weight: The total weight including battery is 27,2 kg.
any problem with torque steering using just the one motor? i’m wondering if that insanely awesome suspension helps with that. One motor works fine by normal use. Only on very loose sand it is ofcours harder to accelerate. Accelarating offroad on a normal forest path is not a problem. For performance 2 motors is ofcourse always better.
So in general, The board is intended for fun, to have a new view on skateboarding. To challenge myself to design a good working special type of electric skateboard. When I was young I skateboarded a lot and past year I found this forum on the internet. I saw the great electric boards on this forum what motivated me to build this board.. So I want to thank you all for the great inspiration on this forum!

Great job! With the steering, how much of a problem is bump steer? In other words, if suspension compression occurs during a turn does it change the steering angle?

Hello There!
Steering while the suspension is compressed is the same as steering with uncompressed suspension.I designed the steeringrods in the steering system as parallel as possible together with the support arms. Desiging the steering rods parallel with the support arms will give the smallest angular rotation as possible. So if the springs are uncompressed, aswel compressed the steering rods rotates together (in vertical direction) with the support arms and stay parallel. Only than there is no rotation as result of compressing the springs.
Iff the wheather permits maybe I make another video now I have a bit more experience with the board. I’m still riding with it and have great fun. Iff I make the video I can show the suspension more detailed and show the max sharpness of steering.
Greetings!

Yesterday the weather was nice so I decided to make a ride with the electric skateboard, I filmed a small part of the sunday drive and like to share it with you, now with a bit more driving experience.

Would be cool to see how the suspension works in action. Is it possible for you to mount the camera facing the board or just get a ‘selfie stick’ for camera?..
Otherwise… happy riding

Hey! Would it be possible for you to share the blueprints for the parts? I am very interested in building a similar version!

Hi There,
It is time for me to start with an new project, so i am thinking of selling the board. I had a lot of fun with building and riding it, but my biggest hobby is still to design and build cool things like this board.
For information: This board is not a toy, it can be dangerous and reach high speeds. It is not recommended for kids. To maintain the board, you need to be a bit technical. The board is not a product, but an project. Further the board is as good as new.
If you are interested feel free to send me an personal message on this forum. I don’t need to sell it, it only will be sold for a fair price. For the time it only can be picked up in the Netherlands.
A picture how it is today:

Looka cool. So single motor offered enough grunt? … not sure if u made any system to drive both axles… should go and check it out
god damn that is cool. Probably cost some insane ammount of money to manufacture everything… unless you have all the pipe bending, sheet bending, laser? cutting equipment available at work or something
very cool! like a diy baja board.
Insame amount of work and passion here 
and with a gorgeous looking at the end !
Good sale 
Thanks.
I had good contacts to produce the parts that are needed, so it doesn’t have to be that expensive. The sheetmetal is indeed laser cutted. Other parts are machined and welded. It has a single motor and works fine. (more than powerfull enough, see video)
Please make your own thread so we can stay on topic on this one.
hey, great looking board. very inspiring build. This project has got me started on trying to build my own. have you sold your board yet?

Hi, I wanted to build my own suspension board, I was wondering what shocks/springs you were using and where you got them.

Hi, I really can’t find any suspension for this type of loads, do anyone know where i can find it?
