Hi all,
this is my first posting here and i came about this forum while searching for more information about electric longboards. I do not mind a single motor longboard as long as it is able to accelerate decently for a dude that weights 210lbs(110kg).
as stated below are my expectations and questions on a DIY motorised longboard.
1) 20+ mph top speed with decent acceleration
1a) what is the gear ratio do i need and how do i calculate them?
2) with dual motors i was thinking of 5065 motors with 270kv, is this enough or should i be looking at different motors? I weight about 210lbs(110kg). and am worried that the motors cant support it. I will be using the longboard with very very slight hillclimb
2a) what ESC can i use and how many do i need?
2b) If I were to be using a single motor build, I do know I need an ESC, but i need advice on the motor specs and also battery.
3) I currently have 2 packs of 4s 5000mah batteries and am wondering if i could use them. If i put them in series, means i get 8s 5000mah.
I have seen and read through some build threads.
Thank you awesome people in advance, I am quite excited to get the specs down and get working on it!
