Im doing something along these lines as well. Im putting an old 10S3P pack in my back pack then running a coiled wired to a 36W helmet mounted headlamp. I think it will work for my mountain board much better than a board mounted lamp that sucks power of my main battery. Only issue I see is that I could blind oncoming cars but thats not much off a concern since primary use would be off road.

Is it really that stupid?
I would have supported that idea if they hadn’t used one-way bearings. I don’t trust those.
At that point, maybe instead use 4 x VESC and 2 x 110kv motors and 2 x 225kv motors
This is my crazy idea.
i was pretty close
I got a crazy idea… but I’ve actually explained it a few times on this forum already. Build a trailer for your esk8. Enough space for a tent, food, and leave half for a giant ass battery. I’m thinking like 10s 60000mah kind of battery. Then have a solar charger and connect the system with lead acids as backup for charging… Connect to board. Go for miles and miles and miles and then camp for a while. I already built the trailer and designed the connector. Just got to get a metal version made and buy a bunch of those cheap eBay batteries. Could cost as little as 1000$ for a decent setup. Still some serious planning to do though… I’m working on it

Seeet idea man, would be awesome on a mountain board although for that much stuff your gonna need some pretty beastly motors and probs beefed up vescs or max 5 escs
you want to strap what are essentially dozens of fully charged pressure and air sensitive energy cells to your back and then balance on a 12 inch plank being propelled at 30mph?
Nah bro you’ll be sweet as… I can’t think of a single thing that could go wrong

OHHHHH YEAAAAAA thats exactly it and more!! I wonder how much it cost…
I saw the other pic and aren’t those two wires going to the bms a bit small? How much current does the charger output?
I am no expert in the field of batteries. And I thought I was contributing to the topic. But I got shot down by the veteran member of this forum. Now I am embarrassed by this. Ok, I’ll shut up now. -Ryan
You could actually do this but it would need to be in some sort of case to protect it. Although if you were to land on it you could still injure your back

Thanks, It just a crazy idea. And I 'm aware of the danger, that’s why research and inputs from people who knew better is important. Cheers.
