Hello everybody!
It's been a while that I've had an Electric skate board on my mind and just a couple of weeks ago I found the Endless-sphere forums! The amount of knowledge and experience here is both liberating and overwhelming for a noob like me. But I'm glad I finally found EndlessSphere!
I got myself a penny board
http://www.pennyskateboards.com.au/penn ... urple.html
it's a great skateboard for cruising around in the city- and I think it would make a for a great compact city electric skateboard. and it's the perfect size to carry on aircrafts when i head out on vacations!
So now am thinking of building an electric system like this (KICKR)for my penny board.
(Watch the Kickr Video here- at 1:23- they've used the kickr system on a penny board like skateboard)

Inspired by Kickr this is what I came up with- I call it the Pen E-Board!

(modelling done to actual 1:1 scale in 3d)
I'm getting a professional I know, to fabricate the Motor Mount.
Besides the motor mount- I need help with selecting the right components for this build.
Here are the components I think will be ideal for this build. Although this is limited by my noobness
Motor

Esc
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__24565__HobbyKing_100A_ESC_4A_UBEC.html
Wifi reciever (It'll be cool to operate this e- board with my iPhone)
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__21430__Hobbyking_IOS_Android_4CH_WiFi_Receiver.html
I'm having the most trouble with figuring out which Battery will work best. I want to have maximum range on flat urban surfaces (not much hill climbing- although i think the NTM 50-60 motor has enough torque to drive me up some gentle hills). I was hoping to have a range of about 20 km or bout 12-15 miles- Is this even possible. If so what battery or collection of batteries would make this possible (Note: I weigh 60 kgs/ 132 pounds)
Based on my design- I have a Box that's 16cm Long, 10cm Wide and 6 cm deep/high as seen here

That's all the space available under the tiny 22" Pennyboard Deck to house all the components needed (Lipo, reciever,esc)
This is the battery i think might work- but to be honest- I'm clueless!!

I have a friend coming back home to India from the US this month. I need to purchase all the above needed components right away.
Since I dont live in the US- it's even more important that I get all the right components.
My humble request to any/all senior members- ' Can you please please please!- check the above links and components and confirm if these are the right components for the build'. (I need to know asap- I just got day or two before it's too late)
So i can go ahead and buy all of it in time for my friend to bring the stuff to India.
Thanks guys! in advance
