First Time E-Skateboard Build! 700$ Budget!

ESK8 Builds
1

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.

Thanks a bunch :smiley:

Are you a heavy person? Do you have lots of hills? Are you able to DIY a motor mount? Single or dual drive? Do you have a board already?

The new ollin motors looks nice, I would try them out if I were building a new board. Here is the post by chaka.

If you want a sleek board @chaka (Ollinboards)'s products is the way to go!

hey @seanpain4! Thanks for the response.

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.

Thanks a bunch!

hey @OskarCastrone thanks for the response! WOW! The Ollinboards look sick! Out of my budget though :confused: 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! :slight_smile:
