Hey. I completely agree with everything you said. And yes I am intrested in such an idea as this. I am a sucker for team projects.
I think that building a team who can work together in this for a few months is the biggest issue. Getting Decks, caliber 2 trucks, motor mounts etc. for cheap should be alot simpler. Especially with the decks and trucks where we can tag along a huge buy from a longboard dealership or a group buy. Battery packs will definetly be a headache.
But I think we can keep speculating forever. What we need is people willing to follow up on those ideas and check if they are possible and calculate cost for the first 5-10 prototypes. Also I think bringing as much attention as possible to this is the right way. So we should open a new Thread I think.
Mayby its a little early to get hyped up, but lets do this!
