So the other day I was headed to work on my hoverboard from the hardware store in SF and all of a sudden it lost power and threw me off at 10 mph with no warning. I stuck the landing and reset the board, everything seemed fine then it happened again. I'm guessing its voltage sag, but I don't care to look into it. Instead I decided to make something more practical out of it. So I pulled the motors and mocked them up on a razor e200 my neighbor threw out and it seems like the perfect fit. I decided to go with 2 motors instead of one (duh 2 is better than 1, 3 is better than 2 lol) because I want it to be as fast and torquey as possible. I'm finishing up the motor mount this week and plan to have it welded to the frame this week. I've ordered (2) turnigy 6s 5ah 30C packs for a 50v 5ah pack (for now), (2) 500w speed controllers, and a throttle. If everything comes in this week I can maybe have it running this weekend. I really need to get something together, I walk quite a bit everyday (ontop of working out) so I could use a break. I'll be back with more progress and pics, bear with me.
