Good looking setup Kusdfus! I like the graphics on your deck especially.
I see a lot of suggestions and perhaps i've missed it, but what's your expected use? Flats or hills? How much do you weigh? Those are the important pieces to gear something correctly. Do you have a gearing calculator yet? You can buy motor and wheel pulleys online. Search for HTD 5mm pulleys if you choose to stick to our "standard" 5mm belts. You might opt to go with a 15mm wide belt instead of 9mm for a single motor setup. It will depend on your weight and use though. Bombing hills and braking heavily i'd recommend the wider (more surface area = less teeth "skipping" clicking when braking hard). Downside is increased resistance overall, but it's not too bad unless you plan on long stretches of kick/pushing your e-board.
onlinebelting.com (link to their HTD 5mm gears in 9/15mm widths) is a great site for just about any size pulley you could want. I like the ability to add the keyway and grub screws. They are $$ though, especially when you take into consideration the cost for shipping from the UK. Being in Latvia this might be better/closer for you anyway.
Re-read the thread and see you say no hills. So on the flats you should be fine with a smaller motor (I'd still steer most people towards a single 63mm motor) - but it will mostly depend on your weight. If you are lightweight a smaller motor will work fine, if you are heavier a bigger motor would be better. I might say lighter than 140lbs or heavier (60kg or less = 50mm motor, >60kg = 63mm motor). Arbitrary and my opinion. I know plenty who have ridden for years on 50mm motor(s). I am 120kg and can get moving on 50mm motor, but it's all in the gearing and a tradeoff.
Your charger - the Imax/SkyRC is a decent AC/DC charger and it has a laptop "brick"/power supply in the raised section (i know i just took mine apart). It's a lot slower than a DC Only charger like an iCharger, but for the price it's a great choice. I especially like (and please confirm as there are several variants) the Internal Resistance feature! Great to health check your batteries. I write the IR on the pack when new and check periodically. High IR = old/dead pack.
I'm happy to help make some suggestions on gearing if you let us know how fast you want to go? What size wheels are you using? The variables in my excel sheet calculator are :
1. Wheel Size
2. Battery Voltage (# in series - 6s/8s/10s/12s)
3. Motor Gear (#teeth)
4. Wheel Gear (#t)
I've found it to be very close to reality measuring setups against GPS when riding. I typically gear to a top speed of 25mph which is probably too fast. I'd do 20mph and call that plenty normally. If you want to go really fast you are almost always going to sacrifice startup torque and need a couple kick/pushes to get going.
HTH - GL!
