Can you? We've been building diy motorized boards since the late 80's, prebuilts are the new thing in most boarders eyes

@earl7693

2 жыл бұрын

Prebuilts are most popular because they come pre programmed. The 80s didn’t have custom built PCBs and open source software to help manufacturers. Id love to see you boot up VESC tool and program my DIY to a functional state. Latency free wireless remote with speed and voltage monitor. The 80s doesn’t even compare to what we have today lol

Awesome instructional video on how to build the board. Just the board

That's not the best way to do griptape. But otherwise some good stuff in this video.

awesome video...

AMAZING except instantly riding it in the water lol it was so soaked at the end!!! its going to get water logged which makes me sad because thats beautiful

Put the logo on the bottom upside down when they hold with with the handle.

@15:22 I'm got my fingers crossed you suddenly realized not to apply the grip tape over the mounting bolts with them still in. ....eeep!!

@jack-spade5647

Looks like only 5 other skaters in here noticed the grip tape issue, almost 2 years later I wonder if it ever became an issue.

if you do buy an electric skateboard you should get something from meepoboard or backfire boards. would highly recommend both companies

@ZacBuilds

Great tip man! I'm definitely in the market right now, so I'll check them out

While I think it looks great I feel like the Logo is kinda upside down... if it is held by the handle then the logo will be upside down to those looking at it... also would have had the Logo on the top oriented away from the person on the board as it has a shape that looks like an arrow so it kinda looks like it points backwards... so if it was placed the other way the arrow would point in the direction of forwards... its all minor things IMO but regardless of my critiques I think you did a great job.

You should've put the sticker the other way so that it would be upright when you carry it using the handle

🤣🤣 ive built an e-mountain board from scratch. Last year and i put over 1000 miles on it. This year im looking to put much more on it.

neat video! as someone who knows basically nothing about skateboarding, it was fascinating to see how a deck is made. i do think maybe the sticker on the bottom should’ve been the other way around though, so it’s right-side up when he carries it by the handle

You can’t go wrong with backfire boards or Tyneeboard or Meepoboard and I think Tyneeboard is coming out with a super powerful board in the next week or so that’ll supposedly beat stuff like the evolve hadean. That’s the board im probably going to get once they release it

So really this was a DIY longboard deck...

Awesome build only thing is I would've tested the electronics to make sure they still worked before putting them onto the board

The paint bleed over kinda killed the amazing work you did, but it is what it is :/ Good job overall tho!

lol for everyone saying this isn’t diy, literally the only difference from a true diy build is sourcing the parts individually, a diy board is basically just as plug and play as using parts from a pre built lol, honestly making a deck is a lot more impressive than plugging in a bunch of garbo over priced amazon parts and slapping them on a pre made deck. no one ever actually “makes” an electric skateboard and the most diy it gets is making your own battery which isn’t even cost effective if your only making one pack so it doesn’t even matter for someone looking to make a board and if your making more than one pack you already know what your doing and don’t need this entertainment over instruction video anyways

Putting griptape over truck bolts 👎🏾

Wow that's pretty cool. Zac hope you get great use out of it for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Zac. Keep Making. God bless.

This was east mode. Would like to see you outsource the components to make the ride as comparable to the wowgo board as possible

But so you want to. No!

This isn’t a “DIY” electric skateboard lol. All you did was transfer another board’s electronics to a different deck. Total clickbait. If this is DIY, then me buying a burger from McDonald’s and putting some BBQ sauce on it is “cooking.”
