Electric longboard // Beginner

Oh no, wait, this is for 72mm wheels

How about this one? https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/Ko-a-pasowe-i-Monta-u-Silnika-Cz-ci-DIY-Dla-83-MM-90-MM-97/32859804341.html?spm=a2g17.10010108.1000016.1.75a52465aOk9af&isOrigTitle=true and won’t this belt be too long? https://pl.aliexpress.com/store/product/1-sztuka-Paska-rozrz-du-XL-10mm-Odporne-Na-Starzenie-150XL037-Czarne-Paski-Rozrz-du-75/4387035_32899399820.html?spm=a2g17.12010108.1000016.1.313141cbt1z4NE&isOrigTitle=true

And also, could you tell me in which country do you live in because i don’t want to write to you while you’re asleep?

I live in Belgium, so same GST no problem :wink: This one should be perfect https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15mm-Wide-Belts-DIY-ABEC-Flywheel-Pulley-Kit-265mm-255mm-/222758410971. IS a 15mm kit so you run 12mm or 15mm. The higher the less belt skipping, but more resistance when you cruise. Is a 15t/36t it will give you a bit more of top speed )see the picture I sent you above, if you will feel that you want more torque, then change the motor pulley or wheel pulley. You can play with the calculator, you set the same parameter I used and just change either the motor pulley or the wheels pulley. Try to do not decrease to much on the motor pulley because otherwise you will have belt skip. For motor pulley alternative and belts https://powge.nl.aliexpress.com/store/all-wholesale-products/702327.html?spm=a2g0z.12010615.0.0.371c6f35plbqSS When you know the length of the belt that you need it, order some because you will need to change them. For the wheel pulley, you can buy it or print it, so you can test multiple one. You find the STL from @JuniorPotato93 on the forum and Thingverse. They are great! A 40T (maybe to much because it will reduce to much the speed) https://it.aliexpress.com/item/40-Tooth-5M-Pulley-for-E-Board/32760121802.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.69ef2e0e5rFHMi

Note: When you choose a motor pulley you need to check the bore size, which has to be the same of the your motor. IN your case both are 8mm so is gonna fit. For the wheel pulley it’s important the wheel core. The one I linked you is correct.

make sure you use HTD5M belts as they have deeper teeth which results in less belt slipping

First link is perfect (my motor has 8mm shaft), but inner diameter isn’t mentioned in description, but I’m still waitng to get reply from seller. I’d buy it, but it doesn’t ship to Poland :confused:

Damn. I checked on Ali and I only found weird motor/wheel Pulley ratios. If you want you can send it to me and I will send it to you. If it is within 50g is gonna be 2-3 Euro shipping to you. Happy to help

I mean, I have family in usa, but i’d prefer to do everything on my own. Maybe on hk or other simmilar shop where i won’t pay for shipping more then 5€? And also, how will braking work with that vesc? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HGLRC-FLIPSKY-FS-ESC-Skateboard-50A-V4-12-ESC-Electronic-Speed-Control-for-Electric-Skateboard-RC/32913559227.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.266.72f53c00eGE3wI

I think I didn’t understand what you mean with family in USA. The pulley I linked to you in on ebay.co.uk, anyow that vesc is good, it is from Flipsky. A lot of people started to use it with success. Braking is like all the other 4.12 vesc, same thing of HK one. It’s good you adjust the setting in the VESC tool ecc… Of course dual set up will always have better braking than single

I mean, that i can send it to my family and they send it to me (safer, but you are still very kind :slight_smile:) Pulley is perfect but still i’d prefer to send it directly to me, so is there any replacement for it? (with cheap shipping to Poland)

I am going to church so i can’t reply for a 1-2 hours, but I’ll be back

Hebce why I always have my pen lol

Why not going for an Ownboard/Wowgo/Skullboard kit? They have great kits but maybe you really want to ‘build’ your first board.

Yeh I just said becasue it’s way faster from uk to belgium to poland than through America, anyhow I think that was the cheapest I found it. Check @e.board_solutions 's store https://electricboardsolutions.com/ he will have what you need. Ask him. Good luck!

I want to build my own

Time doesn’t matter, I am building it for next summer. That store is too expensive for me, back to the drawing board then

Just save up some money for next summer then?

Shiping is max. 2months and i don’t want to spend on it more than 400$ no matter how much money i would have

I mean you only have the Pulley kit left. So look for one that fit. There are a lot of good second hand parts on the forum. Just make a thread in the market as wanted item

good advice, i’ll take care of it later (still waiting for reply from sellers)

Seller sent me something like this, what do you think, is will wheel pulley fit? m.aliexpress.com/item/32859804341.html?pid=808_0000_0101&spm=a2g0n.search-amp.list.32859804341 7430645361415407731
