Hi all, this is my first electric longboard build. It has taken a few months to get all the parts together but I have finally finished it. Most of the board is custom built including the motor mount, deck, case and battery pack. Below I have inserted the specs of the board and some pictures taken throughout the build.
Ah cool. I’m Aussie too. Tell me how that goes, pretty sure hardwood isn’t great for boards. I’m making 3 bamboo decks with fibreglass currently. And then doing some Canadian maple decks with integrated electronics. The hardwood is pretty cheap so if it works well for you I might prototype with it for my integrateds.
Those sleds look like a nice alternative to welding. Where did you get them? And can you give an estimate of the total cost you made for the battery only?
The case made of aluminium and plexiglass is a nice idea as well.
Just made it a tight fit and hammered it onto the truck. go for a few rides with it now on some bumpy road and it is holding up great, hasn’t moved at all.
