Been cruising these forums for ages now, been cruising my board builds for ages now, and I decided it was time to combine the two into this post featuring my latest and greatest build.
It all started about 2 years ago with a 42mm 500kv motor. I was dumb, I was new, and thought I’d reach 50kmph. I was wrong, so wrong, and 2 years of trial and error, success, and failure followed. This is what it’s come down to.
Specs:
Single 190kv 6374 Sensored Torqueboards motor
Enertion FOCBOX in sensored FOC mode (of course)
12Ah 10S4P pack of Samsung 30Q cells
90mm Flywheels (15 36 gearing)
AlienPowerSystem Remote
4A charger for that good good charge time
Some future updates:
In the next few days I’ll be swapping to a motor mount from @marcmt88 which has dual idlers for ultimate torque transfer. This upgrade is 95% because I want to come to a stop quicker for safety
Long term upgrade might come in the form of going to a 218mm Torqueboards truck and having two of these beastly 6374’s in FOC blasting me into the cosmos

I post a ton of pictures, updates, videos etc. on my instagram: www.instagram.com/electric_lboard
Sending me a message on there is also the quickest and easiest way of reaching me about board questions!
I am also very open to creating custom boards for anyone interested
Hey, I am about to build a very similar board and really like your enclosure. Can you share some details on how exactly you managed to make it so perfect?
Second question: How did you mount your battery to your deck? Apparently we’re not supposed to just let them hang inside the enclosure…
Hey! I bought the enclosure from eskating.eu. Highly recommended! Mine’s the 530mm enclosure.
The same website also sells metal inserts. You drill holes into your deck (not all the way through), and then screw the metal insert in. Inside the insert there’s threads for bolts. This means you can screw, and unscrew the bolts holding the enclosure on as much as you want! Won’t wear out. Bonus: Nothing coming through the deck, so the top will stay completely clean.
As for holding the electronics down inside the enclosure, I used a ton of silicone under and on the sides of the battery pack. This is holding up very well. I’d recommend letting the silicone cure for at least 48h before you close the enclosure
Deck’s completely stiff and even advertised for it I think
I had a deck with a little more flex before this, and strangely enough I feel like this is a smoother ride. I do feel the ground more, but this only gives a more stable feeling and as if I’m more attached to the ground. It almost seems to smooth out the cracks and bumps more than the last!
I really do like this deck though and I think the shape is awesome!
Fully charged sometimes 45 yes. That’d be on flat with minimal wind resistance, and probably in a tuck, and fully charged. So in ideal conditions really but yes!
Oh dear.
