That is a pretty good deal, USD$ 299 for a 1800W dual BLDC motor completely mounted on a truck.

Yeah seems like a good deal if it holds up, especially for people like me who cant weld and had to spend $150 on a motor mount alone.

Problem solved! No welding, $100, In stock. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171821983261?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

no sensored setup.

So it matches well with VESC, right?

That is only a single mount for USD$ 100, so we would need two, at $200... Then the wheels and truck for say $50, and 2 motors at $50 each, and you are already at $350. Then you need 2 pulleys, 2 hub drive adapter, 2 timing belts and motor covers and easily reach $400 to match the Benchwheel.

You can add sensors in those motor pulley covers, similar to what the Boosted Board does.

+115 shipping? That's $415 for the benchwheel...And you'd get who know's what with those motors. 2 tacon bigfoots would cost you $110 and they're solid!, Rear pulleys, front pulleys and belts would cost you $60.

erwincoumans · Jun 10, 2015

wow, $115 shipping is too much, yesterday it was only $8.30 shipping (that's what I paid)

Very nice, let us know how it is!

erwincoumans · Jun 10, 2015

I asked the seller about the shipping price and he mentioned it is an error as he is new to Amazon. If anyone is interested, better wait until the shipping price returns to normal.

Very nice, let us know how it is!

Of course I'll report once it arrives in a few weeks.

torqueboards · Jun 10, 2015

Here's a better photo for you guys. I wonder what's holding that motor mount secured? It's simply just circular with no clamp options.

I was wondering that too. It has to be keyed in some way, but its not obvious how.

Those motors look familiar.

erwincoumans · Jun 11, 2015

They are keyed

The dual power kit arrived today and my first impression is very good. It works well with two VESC controllers. The first brief test drive worked well too, I'll add some more feedback once I have driven a few more miles.

In addition, I also bought their remote controller, and it works well too. It comes with a receiver, that sends the usual servo PWM signal. Both remote control and receiver use the nRF24L01+ so it should be reliable.

I added my positive review also on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WQP5P48?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

torqueboards · Jun 23, 2015

What kind of receiver does it come with? Looks good.

erwincoumans · Jun 23, 2015

This tiny receiver with the nrf24l01 on it:

What size are the wheels that come with it? They look like offbrand flywheels.

torqueboards · Jun 23, 2015

Where did you buy the handheld?

erwincoumans · Jun 23, 2015

What size are the wheels that come with it? They look like offbrand flywheels.

They are similar radius (a few millimeter larger) to the Boosted board and less wide. See the picture for comparison:

It works great as a replacement on the Yuunec E-go, with 2 vesc.

Amazon for 49USD, but it is not listed anymore. I think the seller is new to Amazon sales and still configuring things.
