I made my own normal sized electric longboard but since it’s very flexible, the case attached in the bottom is slowly coming off. I have used screws to keep it in place. What could I possible do to fix it?

@MikeBeard

6 жыл бұрын

I would honestly switch decks. That’s one of the downsides to flexible decks

How is the accelerating and braking like? These two are pretty important factors. A good board doesn't only mean it can run fast but also lot more considerations to provide a safe and comfortable experience. And I think this built also cost as much as a mature electric board on the market. The parts are twice of the after market price, way to expensive.

Hey, I didn't go through all the comments but I couldn't seem to find the answers to the most important questions, so let me ask 🤔: 1. Average range expected? 2. Total avg cost expected? 3. Top speed? 4. Charging time and where did you get the charger from? 5. Will the enclosure break if you'll jump a pavement with it scraping? Doesn't look solid but I'm a novice so hey.. Can be wrong 😊🤯 I hope you can answer all these questions for me, doesn't have to be on the dot exact values... But some estimates would be great as I'm considering this built... Thanks man! 🌟🌟🌟

the top speed is 17mph the range is about 10 miles the charger comes with the battery total cost $520 charging time about two hours the enclosure isn't on his website yet, however, the enclosure that I made is 3d printed so I wouldn't take it off-roading.

@@CarraigButler is there something I have to keep in mind if I wanted to increase the battery power on it? Quite new to electric skateboard and bought one recently. So was wondering could I buy a bigger battery to increase the range and the speed on this? Or does the battery power have to match with something on the board?

I love this build and it looks easy to replace the battery and wish I had a electric skateboard like this its perfect I am going to try save up

Why are you not selling pre built boards anymore?

Okay, so this is sick! Now I'm thinking of doing this on my current coffin board after I make my next one, definitely need an electric board for when I don't want to push

would you be willing to sell this enclosure?

I have been trying to find a skateboard like this for like EVER. I am so glad you made this video and at such a high quality of video. TLDR: Thank you for making this amazing video.

I know that kind of sucks but honestly any board that is that cheap will only get you like 10 (very slow and short) uses I’m speaking from personal experience.

Thank you so much for the support man. It means a ton!

Thank you! Great Tutorial, definitely going to build one myself. One questions though, how would you make a budget enclosure without a vacuum sealer?

If I build by own battery (I have 20 cells of sony VTC4 and a 10S 45A BMS) and already have a 36V charger and a deck with truck and wheels. How much would it cost for the dual hub on trucks, ESC and remote ???

Yo mike I noticed a lot of people using power drill batteries. Would the motor be able to work with the power drill batteries? Let’s assume all the connectors are good to go

can you try to build an encloser and system for a traditional penny board with the plastic deck? the one with the bottom that has bumps on it.

If I’m going to use it 7 inch trucks with with 83 mm wheels with the same deck is going to be to big for your opinion?

Hi. Can you show us a diy conversion of a four wheel knee scooter to an electric mini scooter? There isn’t one at all in all of youtube. Thank you 🙏.

How are tires doing on these hub motors doing after some time? Im asking because i want to make AWD skateboard using this motors but my only concern is these PU tires. Can you change them ?

I own a loud board 3.0. It's also a 2 hub motor configuration but so much quieter, almost dead silence. Can you configure your ESC to make it run on a different mode, so that you don't hear that speeding up / brake noise?

Sweet board. I was wondering though: 1: Are you able to skate around on that board with the motor off? 2: Is the motor moving two wheels or does it move all four wheels? I was wondering if you can make the motor move all of the four wheels or why move just the two wheels?

Does the reverse mode on the controller act as a break? If not do you know anyways to apply a break to the board

hey can you please make me an enclosure because I cant find one small enough

hey do you still sell the MBoard as a whole customisable board on your website? im really not that great at working with elektronics and such (even though your totorials are super awsome) so the option to buy a board with all the specs i want in it seems really really interesting to me.

That is soooo sick!! Thank you for this!!

do you have any idea of like a $100 to $150 battery alternative cause $250 is a bit much for me

Well in the end what i see, its that buying a premade skateboard cost the same, that building a DIY, the only thing that its the win-win of a diy its that you can buy the parts you like or repair it, because you know whats inside, in the other, you dont know if they did something to avoid you opening it

I'm guessing this could be built with a belt drive motor too?

Really nice video and nice work! I’m curious what the estimated range and top speed is on the board? I’ve been really looking for a light small electric board lately.

Keen to combine the slimmer battery at MBoards with a 121c Rover deck. Any suggestions for a DIY vacuum forming machine and material?

Does anyone know if this board is at all water resistant? If so, how much water would it be able to go through and survive?

20 mph is enough - but I'd need a board which reaches realistically 20 miles... And for the bonus points: no or just not really noticable outer cabling, completely waterproof and a silent motor noise

Can you use this build with the actual 22’ penny board (penny Australia) or is it not possible? The wooden board you used in this video is a few inches more.

Where can I find ESC and where can I get the wheels and the battery if you don't mind telling me

If I buy the battery off of your site does it come with everything needed to recharge it??

this is good. thanks for posting. Has anyone worked out a way to make battery packs easier to swap out?

What is the truck size because I want to use my own deck buy idk if it will fit

How do you turn off the board if you can turn it on without the power button?

On your MBoards website you sell a Dual Belt Drive 1400W 5055 Motor Kit. Would this kit work well with the Dual Belt Driven Motor ESC that is also sold on your website? How fast would it go with 2x 5000mAh 5S 30C lipo batteries? I'm just looking to build something affordable.

currently building my board with the same parts and wire set up and the brakes work but it doesn’t accelerate what am I doing wrong?

Hey Mike, sorry this should be my last question. What plastic did you use for the enclosure and where can I find it. Thank You! ~Ethan

Do they have a smart ESC for just a regular pulley motor? So I would not have to use the power switch and also get the remote at the same time? That would make it so much easier for my build

Are there screw holes in your pulley? Might be able to tighten the screws around the shaft really tight. I’m not sure if it would hold or not. You could maybe drill a hole straight through the shaft for the screws to hold onto.

Would the 10s3p battery that you sell also work for this board and would there be any other issues if I used that battery?

@MikeBeard

6 жыл бұрын

It would work :) just be sure to measure your deck and compare to the dimensions of the battery to be sure it will fit under the deck. The batteries are identical in voltage, the 10s3p just has a higher capacity so it will work just the same with all of the other electronics.

Woah! This is awesome! So simple and no soldering either.
