I actually just bought that battery to try it out âfor scienceâ. I suspect it wouldnât give very much power, but it should be able to deliver enough amps to at least give as much power as some of those chinese boards that I see selling for $300. I will update once I have tested it though.
Youâre right to worry. Iâve had 3 separate cops hassle me about it and one even me gave a ticket. Either they donât know the law (which is sad considering theyâre cops) or they just donât care and want to fill their quota.

I think it is a combination of both, it is so new that they donât care to read it, and even if you bring it with you, half the time they probably wonât read it

When ever cops stop me in my area i start talking to them most of them know me now and donât care Iâve even gotten a few of them to try it. most cops in my area donât care Iâm 13. one even defended me when this old man called the police and said that i was going to fast and could possibly hurt someone. I wish more cops could be like the ones near me.
We should have that club.

Cops around here cant even be arsed to arrest the guy that stole my first board. I doubt theyâd have enough motivation to pull me over if I did burnouts in their parking lot.
(Iâm still a little salty about the whole thing if you canât tell.)

yeah i would be too but at least u got some motivation to build a second. Sorry about that, I hope that never happens to me.
Bring a lock with you, and have some way to secure the board such that a person with a skate tool wonât be able to take off a wheel or truck and bypass the lock. I made the mistake of setting it in the corner rather than keeping it right next to me. I took my eyes off it for a minute, and it walked off,
Got you beat buddyâ:joy:
First whatâs your budget? It seems youâre missing a pair of trucks and the remote. You need a thread lock thatâs for sure. You also might consider the HUB motor option, it depends on how much research you might or might not shave off a couple bucks. Look up 18650 batteries and BMS, it could save you a lot of trouble if you or your brother are familiar with soldering. Motor mount - you could get this. All of this can be determined by knowing your budget so I suggest you list your budget and your desire speed/torque.

Wheeet?? So thatâs the law here? Ilegal if goes above 20, and forbbiden if you race at 15 ?? So is a no-no. Glad here in San Francisco we live in paradise cop land.
Yeah, I hear ZBoards had a lot to do with drafting the law. I wouldnât complain though, as far as Iâm aware, itâs still the only esk8 law in the country

Why they did that? So their boards will fit the bill and others dont?
supposedly, yes
This thread makes me happy. I needed it after that other thread that made me very, very angry.
