Very interesting project ! Hand held power control is (for me) the last obstacle to remove before Eskate development. I am looking forward for the ergonomic results (how it feels under the feet vs balance)... Good luck!

Thanks (I thought that it was a smaller diameter wheel). Does it conveniently follow the pace of the walker?

Nice rig! Your hubmotor seems nice (is it a geared motor? what is the wheel diameter?)

40" wheelbase is similar to my flexscoots so it should be ok. However, it depends upon the height of your seat, ie fully seated position or semi-seated position, as the second takes less space and is also more stable.

except if the grass is very deep, you should be fine with 10"wheels (large part of the drag of grass comes from the softness of the grass roots where smaller wheels (like 8" mtb wheels) "punctures" and causes drag )... If you plan to ride it in seated position, that mean that your weight will...

Impressive!

I am looking forward for the picture of your walker...it will be easier to advice about battery or motor design Sorry to pollute your threads... I just wanted to apologize in case of misunderstanding... and understand the reasons of my ban from the forum

Yes, I agree that existing mobility scooters are more of a problem than a solution. However, I don't know how strongly you expressed your feelings but it caused all my posts since 4 years to be erased from forum... quite tough for a too short post

I want to apologize to you as my last post (now erased) about our senior/disabled scooter has been considered as spam... my post probably lacked about details and explanations as it was a bit late here in Europe when I posted it .... but we are truly working on innovative scooter for...

Happy to see how to turn the hoverboard frenzy into something usefull. There are already plenty used hoverboards on sales for cheap price that can be used for a 2wd power kit...

Thnaks for sharing all this great work ! I hope you got a good mark.

nice video of the steering system! What's the minimum turning radius?

Thanks for the feed-back . A typical example of Web agency/graphic designer products/project.

I try to follow the technical discussion with interest.... and I still have a question : will hubmotors (direct drive) be more adapted to larger diameter motors and wheels (like mountainboard wheels) than for skate wheels

Do you take special care (foam,...) to protect battery and/or electronic from vibrations/shocks (which are stronger on our hard wheels/non suspended boards)? If yes, no problem regarding heating (foams a re good thermal isolators") ?
