Hi there, I’m bulding my “first” E-Skate and it’s a fast penny.
Here you have pictures of the Vesc enclosure (made by an abs car compartment) modified with Dremel (love this tool, really helpful to dye E-Skates)

And today I modified the deck to let the motor cables fit perfectly under the rear truck (avoiding cables damages, I’ve burned a Vesc because of the motor wires touched the motor )
there were a few people here discussing if it was possible to turn a penny board to into an E-board. @longhairedboy might be trying to do it also.
I have already done a ride with this penny but I burned a Vesc in the worst way ever ( cables under the Motors touched the motor and burned Vesc)
I was riding at 40kmh like a Crazy, and was awesome hahah!
So it’s possibile and soooo funny, I can confirm it. @Photorph
@longhairedboy I’ve seen a lot of your projects and the idea of putting cables under the trucks is not so bad
I think electrifying a penny should result in some kind of level up or something. Its kind of a right of passage in a way. I can’t wait to see what i can do with the one being sent to me soon.
You can go faster and it’s really deft. I like it!
But with penny I recomend to wear 2 helmets
Funny Idea I would be scared taking away material from down there because it´s yet so bendy as it is could you post a pic if you have everything mounted? I´d specially like to see your batterys on that small deck!
might even need three!
Pennies are so small i may need to wear a roller skate on the foot i’m not standing on the board with.
hahaha!
Maybe is better to tighten the trucks too!
@TarzanHBK the deck on that place has a thikness of 1" so I didn’t care of it. The deck is soo bendy yeaaaah
Batteries fit good!! I will post pictures asap
My Penny is almost ready to go, “only” need Vesc (I’ve ordered an Esc until my Vesc will be delivered from Enertion)
I also have to get 2x4s in parallel and not in series because of the Xerun xr8 plus that will support 6s max.
Tomorrow I will test this board (36t pulley is made by my own with a drill Press and a lot of patience and mistakes but seems to be solid and well done )
Looks cool and will be great for short commutes and most of all fun. I have a small board thati built but i put the motor in the front because it liked to wheelie so much
Niceeee this penny wheelie too but not so much if I get ready when acelerate
@fottaz How much do you weigh? I really like the simplicity of this build! This is the 22"or 27" penny board? What size trucks are you using?
Did you ever get this board done in the end? Would love to see some photos/see how it went
Yep! It was my first build but Im writing from my phone and I don’t have pics of the penny anymore. I will upload them from computer asap
