Below is my EXKATE POS (piece of ) Electric Penny Board Upgrade…
It looked too plain un-lit so I added red LEDs to the bottom for ground effect and two 15w LED lights … so I don’t bust my arse on a huge crack…
Basics: 83mm Clone wheels, Enertion 36t Aluminum pulley with 14t on the motor. 270kv Deck is 28x8 penny board the trucks are what came with it…motor mount I made with galvanized steel.
I just finished it…and haven’t rode it…ill try to post up video📹
Well…it was interesting to say the least…I’m definitely one to throw caution into the wind…but Tell you…I couldn’t bring myself to go faster than 10mph…lol
This thing is so squirrelly once it starts moving…You hint of going in that direction and the damn thing goes…super fast!..I’m sure the super Trucks have something to do with it…
Anyhooo…the short deck form factor is best suited for sidewalk riding…need a motor with nice torque and low top speed…this would definitely be a great in a town where U can ride sidewalks or by the beach town…definitely portable and maybe a great 3rd board not a second board…
Not really an exciting build but it was good to try out for a laugh…
The next move … Is probably get this set up on a bigger deck… It should help counter act some of the twitches.
I don’t know that thing looks pretty boss to me!
Great little board to tool around town and throw on your pack
What was the total damage in the end?
For Science anyway, right
