googled E-glide and a Harley Davidson came up? 
you wanna do what?
Hi guys I read onloopās post about āCā output and why itās important however Iām still a bit confused.
Does a 6s 5ah 20C battery have enough max amps to power a 270kv motor? I think this means I have a max 100A output, but is that enough to move a 70kg person to the boards max speed? Or is it better if I get 30C?
Basically I have an e-glide 42 special and it has 3-12 volt batteries in series and it has an 800 watt motor, but for the control unit it has a board type deal itās not an esc, it has a wired controller. I was wondering if there was an esc out there that would work with the board in place of that little control unit.
aaah thats a chinese board okok
So yeah, you could use a vesc instead of your control unit. Than buy a Mini Remote for wireless action and youĀ“re good to go
Itās. Made here in Santa Monica , California
Whats the name of the company? These are most likely importet and rebranded products.
But that doesnĀ“t matter 
Try it with a Vesc

That board makes it incapable of having a wireless 2.4ghz remote which is what Iād like to accomplish
Canāt create a new topic so I guess ill just rant here
So, I built my board 18 days ago. Today I have a burned DRV
Specs: 10s3p Torqueboards 6355 190kv dual 4.12 Torqueboards VESCs
Iāve put 293 miles on this board in the past couple of weeks all has been fine and lovely. I go on lunch today, come back and as always - when I plug in I test motors and before I unplug I test motors at very low throttle. Anyway back from lunch get to my desk, test motors with a blip, fine. unplug work the rest of the day, goto leave, plug in, test motors, only one motor spins. DRV burnt out. I canāt understand why it would burn out from the time of unplugging to plugging back in.
@torqueboards this is about my last straw dealing with them -sent motors with incorrect barrels -antispark failed on first plugin(known issue) -now iāve got a dead vesc when nothing has changed lol -their edge retainer on the motor drive pulleys are lightly pressed in an fall off(basically theyāre cheap).
electric skateboard gods are killing my buzz right now.

Plenty of threads here on the forum how to do that
thanks for the help!!
Hi, Iām looking into making a cheap electric assisted penny board. I do not want an esc or transmitter or receiver. I plan on having a button on the board to give me a boost. what battery and motor should I buy. any other suggestions are also welcome. Thanks:slight_smile:
An ESC is responsible for sending power from the batteries to the motor you canāt skip on itā¦ the receiver/transmitter you can skip on and have a wired throttle control to the ESC but no ESC means no electronic speed control.
Your situation seems a bit custom. You should look into remoteless / weight sensing boards and so on. Also as suggested u still need esc to control the motor. Maybe @Ackmaniac can shed a quick reply for u to send.u in right direction.
My opinion: assist only might be a bit.hard. You could try to implement what @Ackmaniac has made by getting vesc and running it in mode where u need to kickpush to gain additional speed but.your board will.cruise at speed.it.has.reached.by your.āhumanā power

Alright thanks
U can get it but then u still need to buy vesc which will cost close to 100usd. Then u would install his.custom firmware and get this hybrid - assist.mode. hope that helps
It does thanks but unfortunately right now I donāt have 100 quid for a vesc
How would i add brakes to my board?
