I am having major issues sourcing a 2 motor set up for my MBS. My requirements are:
-Corded throttle control. Let it be known that cordless vehicle controls are against federal law in the US. I live near NYC so radio is impossible. I cant put my life and that of other peoples at risk over a run away board. Besides NYPD is impounding wireless boards right now thanks to all the hipsters with the runaway Boosted/other hipster boards who refuse to use a lanyard.
-Must be a 36-38v system. I run a 36v-20ah pack.
-Must be durable for off road use Its going to get dirty.
-Must be reliable. I have over 11k miles on my board right now. It has never ever broken down on me. I moved to chain early so other then a flat tire here and there I have had zero issues. I drive my board every single day weather permitting to and from work and any place around town I have to go. I average about 10-15 miles a day. On weekends I strap it on my enduro and take it into the woods for some fun here and there. I dont mind paying good money for good parts. My board is an electric vehicle that I rely on every day.
-My set up now will do 28-30mph with me on it running a single brushed 1000w. My average speed is between 20-26mph in most cases. It has to have enough juice to move my 270# at those speeds without turning into a toaster. Im not all that crazy about fast take offs. I drive in and with traffic a lot so my power range really needs to be between 20-26mph with a bit of head room.
I have stayed on my brushed setup because between the quality brushed motor and the PG Drive controller its as reliable as it gets. However Its time for me to graduate to a lighter setup. My knees are not what they once where and popping my brushed motor off the ground has become painfull for me. Sadly sourcing these new parts has been a giant pain in the butt. I have burned a few hobby king ESCs. Turnigy is off the list. Those motors turn to toast with me on them. Clearly not designed for EV applications by any measure.
So thats the entire story. I am open to anything thats corded and reliable.
States are different but NJ and NY specifically state any vehicle with a motor propelling it is a motor vehicle and is subject to DMV rules. They define it the same way the federal gov does.
Federal law specifically defines a motorized vehicle the same way. Any vehicle propelled by a motor. Wireless controls are strictly forbidden on any and all vehicles transporting living beings of any kind. This includes electric skateboards. Any lawyer will tell you this is the case. Reasons are obvious.
Clown? I build boards for recreation because itās fun to longboard. Iāve been boarding for over 30 years. The vehicle relationship you are so attached to is only in question because of last mile marketing. And itās guys like you that are going to fuck it all up for the rest of us!
Troll? F this post has been edited
Iāve never seen anyone get slapped with a few thousand dollar fineā¦ infact, I donāt think I know of anyone here (from the U.S.) that got in any sort of trouble with police.
I beleive they have told @Hummie to slow down or pulled him over in san fran, but I donāt think it was over a wireless controller. Heck, people ride Boosted boards all over the place and they arenāt getting drilled for having wireless controllersā¦
@psychotiller is a legit member, and a moderator- by no means is he a āclownā or trying to troll your thread.
Itās not that I donāt doubt your legal backing, its just that I donāt think a single cop really cares (or even knows) that electric skateboards canāt have wireless controllersā¦ I havenāt even heard that before, and have been buiding eboards for years.
There also is a whole thread about legalities here:
Donāt call @psychotiller a clown. He has contributed so much you donāt even know. Donāt come onto this forum and call him a troll and say bad things about him. Thatās not how we work.
lolol the hell is this bull i ride mine on a military base, one of the biggest training bases for MILITARY POLICE. not one has said shit to me and some even freak out about how cool it is.
Thanks guys and girlš . Bottom line, metro, boosted, altered, exskate, enertion, evolve, ego, and countless other manufacturers are legally selling their completes, online and in stores such as fryās electronics. All are wireless.
Hmmmmā¦I do smell clown shoes in this thread, but I aināt wearing them .
I love the word FUCK, and i use it a lotā¦ but lets try not to directly use it towards others, maybe consider changing that post.
example of offensive & acceptable use of the word fuck.
āI donāt like you āfuck you!ā This may offend somone because itās very direct and insulting so try not to use it that way unless you really fucking have tooā¦
āIām tired of waiting. Fuck it, letās get out of hereā This still might offend some people but its not directed at someone, its used as an interjection instead of a verb.
No @onloop you arenāt giving him the freedom of speech he deserves, heās in 'Merica and here we can say fuck you to anyone, cops even. Honestly @psychotiller had cause for his post. Fuck that guy and fuck his laws. If you are pulled over buy a cop, longboarding isnāt illegal, so its almost unenforceable.
@delta_19 Shemale? I didnāt know we lived in Thailand
