I live in europe, im building a electric skateboard and i want to know which solution is the best for a motor mount;
I’ve found that you can get quite a few kits where you get 2 trucks, pulleys, belts and motor mount, but they all seem rather expensive.
So is it possible to get just the motor mount for the truck, and then get a specific truck brand that that motor mount fit on or can you get universal ones or how does that work?
I also have access to a metal shop on my school, so i could get a truck, cut out a peice of metal, weld it on and make my own mount like that, but i’d rather not since it would be quite a bit of work.
Personally I have the Enertion mount and it’s great so far! It is mounted on a normal Street Devil truck so no problems with that. The Enertion one is universal until some degree, but you can ask here on the forums if it will work.
I just checked it out, it seems that the truck will have to be square correct?, also did you get pulleys and belts from enertion also or what did you do there?
What about wheels, the wheel pulley looks as if it needs a pretty special wheel to be mounted on, and i’d rather not get the blue enertion wheels, simply because i dont like the look
I have the blue enertion wheels, but they aren’t that great in my opinion. You could get the 12mm motor pulley and let a custom drive hub be 3D printed.
A lot of people get their drives 3D printed, you just need to choose the sturdiest materials But you can also make your own pulley, but that’d be pretty hard because you have to be really precise.
Well it’s your project, and you can really just do what you want with it, that’s the great part of the DIY community I know a lot of people use plastic drives, but you need to feel safe and if you can craft your own, that’d be great too.
