Hi guys, I am planning a build with a bulky enclosure.
What is the minimum enclosure clearance from the ground I would need?
Here are the specifications of the board.
Loaded poke deck.
180 mm trucks (axle center height 64 mm)
83 mm wheels.
60 mm thick enclosure.
Risers ( Haven’t decided on the thickness, would probably go with 1 angled and one shock pad for the front trucks, and equal thickness for the back)
I am going for a thicker enclosure as the wheelbase is only 21 inches and I want to fit a large battery inside. So far I have calculated that i would have about 57mm clearance with a 1/2 inch riser. Would it be enough?
I am trying to keep the ride height to a minimum (smaller deck) so I would like to use as little riser pads as possible.
I live in a city so speed bumps are plenty. Do you reckon 2 inches would be enough for those pesky bumps? My board is not very long so that should help a little
If that’s the case then I’d say not… best go measure these bumps you intend to ride over to check the clearance to be honest. You can guestimate, but you might be wrong…
there is no standard, its all conditional and based on what you can build and what parts you can source. My philosophy on it is to make sure your enclosure is above your hangers on your trucks. If its below that you’re going to have issues.
