The biggest “problem” with my esk8 is that I need to carry it when walking in a store or shopping mall. I know there are some 3D-printable options for hanging it on the backpack, but I don’t believe them to be very rugged in the long-run.
Today I stumbled upon the solution! It’s an aluminum hook for the backpack. As it doesn’t seem to be a topic about this I thought I might make one.
I think the Kickstarter campain is soon to be launched so keep an eye on it if you’re interested.
Just backed it…shipping is pretty hefty. a $25 pledge comes out to $40 total for US. We all need to just move to one continent together to save on these shipping and import fees! I guess it needs to be China =(
Yes my backpack is already ripping from me carrying around a heavy notebook, water, etc.
If you look at the video, everyone has a backpack filled with stuff. So the backpack buffers you and the board. If your backpack is fairly empty, I’m thinking the rear wheels may bump into your legs while you walk.
They should have put someone with a 8kg esk8 in the video to show us how that looks.
yeah it bugs me a little that they are an electric skateboard company…posting a product to us but their advertising shows more regular boards using it. I’m sure the hook, connectors and straps it comes with can hold the board, but your back pack strap is not rated for that kind of weight or constant tugging.
