First Look at TorqueBoards Direct Drive Motor

@FredrikHems would be nice… but the motors are pretty big already. Motor can itself is 70mm diameter and that’s because we’re using a thicker motor can for increased durability.

@BruSkater a bit over 30mph and we specifically use 12S. I don’t see any point in 10S as for $40-60 dollars (difference from 10S4P vs 12S4P) you get a huge benefit for the higher voltage and increased watt hours.

@skatardude10 I’m very hesitant on offering higher speed setups… We might in the future but as of now our main focus is the everyday rider.

I feel you. I realized that most people probably wouldn’t end up needing the extra speed and would instead prefer higher torque.

Can’t wait to see these things in action. I might have to devise a small cruiser/commuter board for these things when they release.

Carvon xls are 85kv… I think 70 -75kv would be the sweet spot😁

@torqueboards, please don’t be worried about high speed set ups. We build because we want to push the boundaries. Everyday riders have so many options available its ridiculous but If you want to buy a board that performs as well as a diy there aren’t many options. If you want a less powerful version you can always use a 10s battery. I’m personally very excited about this direct drive but please don’t hold back on performance.

A poll might be useful to know what the people want!

What would people want? CNC POM hubs or aluminium?

Aluminium is too heavy, is it necessary for the hubs?

Not necessary, there are POM hubs out there

@moon I was just talking about modifying your rim with a abec core lol

No, I think that is @Maxid design

yup its maxid i just checked xD… well i was looking to modify his rim with the abec core lol

Yeah trying it too. Not that invested yet since I don’t have 6x2 tyres with me and my 3d printer is down

@psychotiller has the 6x2 wheel sets for 55usd plus shipping i just ordered a spare for my six shooters but i may use the spare set to test these 3d prints instead lol

Yeah not really an option for me, shipping and taxes etc
