Hey guys, long time no see! So I was cleaning my workshop and found I have a heap of spare or leftover bits, enough to mostly make a lightweight, low power bb drive for my commuter, so why not start a christmas project? I was wanting to use the parts I have if possible, namely: FVT esc and...

I hate to join the party pooper crowd, but feel this is the most valid point. I spent 6 months commuting exclusively by board in Dublin, and I am very glad I did, but there were certainly times I either didn't go, caught the bus, or ended up carrying the board. It was a 30-35 minute trip each...

Nice concept, I would love it if you could let me know the gears you used - I was looking at some for a project and wasn't sure what would work. What power and rpm are you running through them, how big are they and are they noisy? How does the weight of the motor/gearbox compare to the weight...

Sure it's already done, but if you change the voltage and motor, then it will change the speed the board goes. You might need more/less reduction than the stock brushed motor used. If you match the output speed though you will be good to go. If it's 17mm, then yeah it is most likely the...

neat, would be good to use as many parts from the stock as you can, keep it simple and cheap. Few things: Have you tried getting the pulley off a shaft with a pulley puller? These are basically 3 arms on a nut, screw a bolt through to push out the axle. If it can be removed, this would be the...

I would suggest raising any issues on electric-skateboard.builders as well, this is enertions own little marketing disguised as a forum, so is heavily monitored and should ruffle a few feathers and get things going. Enertion is known to do unethical things for profit, so it's not surprising...

Don't want to get too off topic, but any reason why you couldn't use 4x 10s1p packs wired in parallel, and SLS print a housing for each pack, to be slightly spaced apart to allow for flex? That way all you would need is the design/CAD skills to get it done. There are plenty of online print shops...

I've used shapeways for final prototype printing too, their SLS nylon is incredibly strong and accurate. If you don't have a printer to do it yourself, the strong and flexible is probably the way to go. I have a printer here so do most that way, but shapeways is probably the largest printing...

What did I miss? Was it something I said?

okp, Enertion is just a chinese clone company, funded by onloop. Classic $ vs. ethics scenario. It is customary however for a reviewer to clearly state upfront who the review is funded by, in this case Enertion. This stops people being falsely accused of sneaky back door advertising, fake...

Hahaha, I can guess who the "Who" and "other" forum is, and it comes as no surprise. Given the price it is sure to be sold at, I just hope that the initial developer/s and everyone are getting at least 50% of the profit. But again, one can guess the answer here I feel. But yes, as far as my...

Running dual 6374mm hub motors wasn't a problem in the slightest with torque, and isn't too bad to kick, much faster than the 42mm motors that were geared. In fact, the 42mm motors were not worth pushing in my opinion. Two 50mm motors as hubs (~80kv) are even less resistance. Similar to a...

Neat little mod there, but I was wondering how you kept it all parallel? Surely if the tube is even 0.5* off, then the belts won't line up and track properly? Could be worth making this into a universal DIY mounting system for those odd shaped trucks.

You are such a troll chalo. But don't you think it would be worse on a bike, given your higher centre of gravity? So when you tumble off (and you will, it's only got 2 wheels) you have much further to fall, so newton tells us it will take even more skin off! Also, I can kick a board faster than...

Really nice, but what I don't get is why you put so much time and money into such a crap platform to start with? Keep the shape but go a sweet little one like this: or my favourite:
