And you need to be able to jump over obstacles.
So unless you can ollie a 15kg board, this means bindings.

How are the sk8
I donāt know F1 bindings but F5 are like clouds 
BTW it hurts seeing your pic without knee pads on the track 
When I was a kid I crashed with my BMX on gravel and you could see my knee cap 
, needed a surgery. It was a miracle, my whole body was fucked up including stones inside hand and arm but my head was without injuries. Jesus I didnāt wear a helmet but Iāve learned the lesson.
They were nice, need to figure out why they broke and modificate the next pair. All my parts are reliable except motors in general. Iām still searching for motors that last longer than a few weeks/months.

Trampa EMTB, used to have 2017 belt pro motor mount; switched to Overion chains (love them). The pictures are with the Trampa 154kv motors, I have 130kv 6374 10mm shaft Maytech base, have to fix one, will put them back soon. 4 x 6S 6000mAh 60C HRBās. Mini remote. Tons of torque and reliable fun!

Honestly I have them and forgot to bring them and didnāt want to drive 30 minutes to go get them. Unsafe. I really want some hip pads. Iāll spare you the picture of why.

Do you think you need sensors for a mtb?
Iām not sure I entirely count as I donāt have a pure eMTB currently. Bindings are hard for me post-knee surgery. I used them most a decade ago in Kiteboarding & MTB but today they feel iffy.
But hell why not. Here are my two current carvers.
- LaCroix Prototipo deck
- TRAMPA Ultimate Channel trucks
- 8" knobbies on Superstars
- E-TOXX 5:1 straight geardrive (previously Kaly 4:1)
- 2x 170kv 6380 Torqueboard motors
- 2x FSESC6.6
- 10S6P Samsung 30q pack
My most recent build is essentially a Kaly XL 2.0 Carver.
- Kaly XL Deck - Hard stiffness
- Kaly Channel Trucks
- 8" street Pneumatics on Superstars
- Kaly Helical 4:1 Geardrive
- 2x Kaly 190kv 6374s
- Unity FOCBOX
- 12S4P Samsung 30q pack

Mmmm that Kaly deck looks nice, I kinda wish I saved up a bit more and sprung for that instead of a Trampa lol.

Iām about 1000 miles into my Kaly build and I can say that I absolutely love the deck. And the Helical Geardrive. Unf.
I canāt bring myself to grip the deck even. With the lips on it I feel super grippy already, been enjoying riding it bare.
Iāve got a second deck on order just because I love this one so much, going to work out a larger modular, printed enclosure for a 12S8P.

love this thread
That looks interesting! What are the specs? I like the black and yellow
Maybe contact Kaly? I know he is building Kaly 2.0 with a double stacked enclosure for 12s7p 21700 cells

Whereās the fun in that?
Iām going a different route, modular packs w/ their own BMS in each.
