Hi. I’m a 14 years old boy. My weight is about 55-60 kg (121 - 132 lbs) I live a place where there ain’t so many hills. It’s max 3-4 % grades i think. But it’s mostly a straight place.
So, i need a good and fast transportation. And thats why i think a DIY is perfect for me.
I’m totally dump to all the technical things in a Electric skateboard, BUT… I’ve searched a lot on this forum, and now i’m much more clever on it. I got help a lot of super good advice, and i’ve found these things for my setup:
It would be very helpful if you could give me some advice on these things. And if you have other recommends then say it. I’m ready for critic.
If you think that there is a even better setup, for around $550-600 then pls show me it.
Thanks
Hi there !
I have a very similar setup to yours, and I can tell you Ive gone 26mph or 40km/h on 8s, really decent speed! Also I dont think you need the low voltage cutoff, the VESC already has a low voltage cutoff.
Additionally, I would go with these batteries if you can as they already come in a hardcase (additional protection with Lipos is always a plus)

Good luck!
Personally I’d opt for a charger that supports 6S and charge both batteries at the same time, using this Charging Board. Works like a charm with my 8S2P setup. I have 4 4S packs and charge them 2 packs at a time.
