Shooting for around $199.99-$229.99 for 4 rims, tires, tubes and pulleys 15mm. They’ll fit our 218mm Trucks.
Awesome! Looking forward to that in action. Can’t wait to try them out if I get the chance!
What kind of deck limitations(if any) are there that may need to be considered for it?
because trampa charges 500$ for a bolt
Just need clearance for the tires… Most downhill with the nose and tail portion of the deck ideally would be smaller. @treenutter decks will most definitely work. https://www.instagram.com/redemberboards/ and decks somewhat similar…
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll consider them as well if I’m able to grab your 2in1. great customer support at the site btw!
I’m just gonna leave this here . . .

i usually throw the lists away before i start a spending spree but theyre usually something like:
Hs11 trampa deck
12s8p eboosted enclosure
The direct drive options are sick but way expensive so i was thinking of using chains instead
Dual 6374 motors
Not 100% positive about the wheels or trucks yet but but if you want trampa ones your expenses go way up. There are probably other options out there but i dont know about them yet
Best bet like others said is to get a second hand board for cheaper, budget board with specs you are looking for will be a challenge to keep under $2k
how many km/miles have you put on it? Looks like you put a good amount of care into as there are hardly any scuffs or scratches besides the 2 you mentioned
Hardly any, prob about 50miles. This board was quite a long build and during that time I got a mountainboard and had that build done in a day. My plan was to have both but I’ve kind of seen sense a bit and now know I just need one, I got addicted yes. It’s all in great condition. I also have a 12s bms (bypassed discharge) and can throw nickel in the box too. All you would need is cells/battery pack.
You can find second hand trampas. They just don’t come up very often. I keep my eye out for them and if I get any I shall let you know
Also search ‘scrub mountainboard’ and look for the similar square trucks, that could lead to a nice budget board.
I can vouch for atenner, Hes a legit seller, i bought a trampa mountain from him, top quality all round and super helpful, id prob be interested in that urban carver if i hadnt already bought a MTB from him in february.lol
That would be fantastic. Thanks for the help, I suppose what I really would want given the responses here and a few on the subreddit is more along the lines of an Urban assault setup that can go over gravel, grass and bad roads but not through forests or mountains. I see that they’ve got a Ultimate Urban Carver on the Trampa site but would not sure if that would be enough or already beyond what I really need for my use case.
Same here , bought some used older Trampa decks from Atenner and other stuff. Very cool and helpful guy. If i had the money i wouldn’t hesitate 1 second to buy his Trampa Carver even though i am more into mountainboards.
The distinction with carver and mountain board is its design for the terrain? I kinda am confused as to how to distinguish between the trampa urban carvers and the trampa mountains boards.
I am not an expert in this matter but for me the difference between both are (although this is not always the case) difference in decks (carver = shorter and lighter but this is not always true) , due to the fact that the purpose is totally different , wheels , gearing and motor kv can also differ. Battery placement also differ , for emtb’s most will put the battery on top of the deck for carver builds most use flexible battery enclosures attached on the underside of the deck. Also , most will use bindings on their mountainboards (for additional stability) which isn’t the case (most of the time) on carver builds.These are the differences i can think of but more experienced forum members might provide you with a better answer.
As above
Biggest difference is the trucks and wheels. Smaller wheels are (usually) used on an urban carver. The carver comes with a narrower hanger on the trucks.
If you want to go on gravel paths and on bumpy pavements only a carver or mountainboard will be ok. If you want to go more off-road like through forests etc a mountain board is the one.
Ideally have a go on someone’s. For example I love having bindings but some people hate them.
Thanks for the info @mikedv and @atenner! Yes I think I think I’ve got a better idea of what i really need for my use case. I think I should’ve went with carver because they can be a bit different for me to tell apart at times. I don’t see myself going through forests but giong up hills, be it grass or pavement is something I’d love to be able to do. Since @mikedv did mention differences in carvers being shorter and lighter does this still put the budget at around $2000+?
I’d imagine still having a higher Kv motor since I won’t need all to much torque on the surfaces I’ll be going over on it. As for gearing I’m looking at a belt but I’d ultimately want to go for gear drive but defenitely a underside enclosure which may cost more? I’ve seen lots of great posts on @psychotiller enclosures. I myself am not concerned too much on bindings as I can always add these later on
For an urban carver what would the minimum I could go if I go with LiPos? Sk3’s I hear are quite good for the price but I’m still unsure about what size and KV would best fit my needs. (going up hills,grass,gravel and rough pavement)
I have saved this build:
