The forum already has helped by an earlier question I asked about the speed controller, plus of course, the calculators. Thank you all.
One thing I forgot to mention. I am CTO for a company that builds in orbit deployable antennas for satellites. We have a prototype lab open to all employees off hours - all we have to do is provide our own raw materials. I have access to lathe, CNC, several 3D printers, etc. Plus I design motor-driven mechanisms for a living.
Then you should be good, theres a few CAD files out there on https://grabcad.com that might help you out.
Almost everything could be made using CNC machines
The goal is to convert my pantheon ember mini cruiser with speedvents 85mm to an EBoard. Working on building a solid works file for a Seismic Speed vent pulley.
Ive got one designed if you need help lmk
Honestly Ive never used Solidworks before, would it be possible for me to see your file, if you donāt mind. To give me a basis to go off of.
ill pm you later
Rad! Thanks!
Hi peopleā¦ new member from Switzerland, in the past i made Electric Bikes with up to 20s/5kW.
Now i have a small startup which is doing some prototyping, as i was browsing youtube i found the idea of an transportable āminicarā (Longboard/Skateboard) with motors a very good idea.
So im currently building a board with Dual Hubs for starting.
I have a CNC Mill,Solidworks/cam,3d Printer and Battery Welderā¦ my plan is also to build something from Carbon Fiber and Quad Drives. 
Hi everybody! Iām electric skateboard user and Iām planing to mod my board. Iām here to get all necessary information as this forums seems to be best place for that 
Hi there! Im a product design student currently working on building a electric skateboard which converts into a scooter. The forum so far has been very helpful and kind, thanks for the big library of knowledge/resources and awesome community!
Hey all, Iām Paul! Former downhill longboarding speed addict. I hung up my slide gloves for mostly flatland distance skating when I moved to the Sacramento valley 8 years ago but Iāve been itching for that speed fix ever since. Iām on the finishing stages of my first mountain board build with a MBS Leon Robbins pro 100, Unity, dual 6374 motors, and a 12s6p battery. Iāve got a 14 tooth motor pulley and 72 tooth wheel pulley because I was hoping for some solid Hill climb ability as well as the speed and distance. Huge thanks to this forum and all the regulars. I had no idea how to do any of this when I started but did a boat load of reading and taking notes. Iām sure thereās still a lot to learn too.
Let me see that deck! Itās been a while since Iāve seen one āin personā
Oh also, welcome!
Haha, this oneās been stored away in my closet for the last 8 years like a time capsule.
Also, thanks!
Nice looking builds
One is the loneliest number that there ever was. Two can be as bad as one but the loneliest number is the number one
Hi everyone, I am writing from Italy, I am a super noob in the skate world and even more in that of esk8.
From the first day I saw a mountain esk8 on youtube I was kidnapped and I canāt think of anything else! So here I am to expose those millions of doubts that run through my head.
Ah ah ah ah ah Fantastico!!!
Hello everybody!
Never ridden a skateboard before, but always dreamed of it. Iām only in the thinking stages right now, but I would love to eventually DIY a cheap, but upgrade-able board. Iāve seen plenty of Instructables, but only recently stumbled into these forums, so I have a lot of reading to do
Eventually I would like to use an esk8 for my daily commute, but Iām currently 20 miles from work, so Iāll move first. Iām likely to be more interested in building than riding, but weāll see. (Iām only 100 lbs, so Iām sure Iāll be flying) Also, Iām a programmer and own a 3D printerā¦ for fun

Great to have you here! This is a tried and true, cheap, quality build thatās great for an intro.
