Hi guys! Yes, this skateboard has 4S1P battery! To make things worse, the cells are protected! Good thing it has a belt drive motor!
The design goal was to make an artistic looking electric skateboard with a safe battery which can be replaced easily.
Please see videos and photos below!
Had the same thought as far as changeable cells, but 4s1… How far does it go? Lol
On a flat smooth road they go around 6 kms for a 65 kg rider. The board itself is 5 kg.
So 3.5 freedomiles… Not bad really. That would get me to the store and back . Lol
Would love to see it on a 10S1P 2170 pack
Project Update.
And the most practical upgrade was the installation of a Bluetooth module together with getting the Xmatic app. Now I have three saved profiles with defined maximum speeds. For example, I put the maximum speed 10 km/h, set the remote on always full throttle and the board accelerates with the full power until 10 km/h and then keeps that speed using less energy. After that I can manually push the board to get to the speed of about 15 km/h from time to time when I become tired of standing in the same position. When the speed is above 10 km/h the motor doesn’t use the power at all. The board doesn’t jump out of me when I push manually unlike before when the motor was either full power on or no power at all. Even if I jump from the board while it’s still full throttle on the board just continues going with the same speed. The ability to setup a maximum speed and be able to change it on the go is a must have I would say.
