Hello There! This will be my first post as I just joined the forum and been researching about e-skateboards for about a month. I have been looking for range mostly, single motor but very powerful and a clean skinny look.
Here is what I am looking for in a build:
Clean, Sleek Design
Good Power
Good Range
Small controller that can fit into any jeans pocket.
Charging port
A way to see how much battery is left on the board
I recently tried my first electric skateboard the Yuneec E-go and had a blast on it my only complain was that the torque/speed was not enough. I liked the design and the controller though.
My budget is 700$ so feel free to help me with this! I am looking to get started Asap.
I am 175 pounds
mostly flat grounds but there is 1 or 2 hills.
I am not able to. Which is why i was looking at pre-made ones like the exertion motor mount and such
single(but powerful :D)
I don’t have a deck yet. Basically waiting to get opinions of the details I specified to see what will be the best.
hey @OskarCastrone thanks for the response! WOW! The Ollinboards look sick! Out of my budget though but yeah that sleek design is definitely what i am looking for!
Then I suggest that you build your own deck with the batteries build in between two layers of plywood. These lipo cells looks good, cheap and very thin: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_18560__Turnigy_5000mAh_1S_20C_Lipoly_Single_Cell.html
I have not tried out this idea yet but I am going to soon. I will let you know how it goes - please let me know as well if you do it too!
