So as the title says what are you guys looking for in a consumer board? Me and a friend are doing this thing called YEA and where wondering what you guys would be looking for in a board that would be sold at $1000-$1250. The markup doesn’t really matter but what would you guys like, ie: Range, speed, deck size, concave/flex, wheel duro and size, truck style, and anything else! We are trying to make a board tailored to the esk8 scene and not some Chinese branded board. So, what would you guys want in a $750-$1000 consumer grade board?
All I want in a consumer board you can’t get into for 1000$ If you can I will buy 5 and resell 4 for 1800$ Just jk… 750$ is pretty low 12s4p 350$ min 2x vesc6 or 1x focbox unity 250$ 2x gear drive 300$ Uups we already over that
We’re do you guys get the gear drives by any chance or are they custom?
pretty much nailed it here lol
Besides gear drives…
Depends if it’s a street board or mtb. Here some people producing gear drives
Most likely street with my mtb in the future if we get funding
Good motor mounts are 150$ too Plus pulleys 100$ Plus belts
that leaves you with @moon, @3dservisas and @nuttyjeff’s drives if I’m not mistaken for street wheels
Even without gear drive 250$ for good motors 30$ min for a good remote 20$ optional for a Bluetooth module
And than let’s start with deck, trucks and wheels…
Better if you contact @kug3lis if you need additional info that isn’t already present in those threads.
Might get that expanded as seeing for a good board you guys would want/need a lot more power than I was thinking😂
I think our expectations are arguably conservative compared to others around here
Haha I’ve seen some of those…
You want a nice enclosure from @bigben Surfrodz trucks should be minimum Plus all wires, connectors, sealing, custom skinned deck by @Sender etc etc
and my budget was already looking rough haha at least gear drives come with trucks Edit: most
Not all of them
