So I have the following setup: * R-spec 6355 (x1) * 12S(2x6S1P 5Ah Zippy 20C) * VESC (4.11) BLDC control * Nunchuck The whole thing is quite new so today I rode it for 6/7km to meet my friends. When they saw it they asked me to ride it too. Probably 6-7 people around 80kg (one-by-one) started...

Honestly, no. 1) It isn't problem when I jump on my bike or scooter. 2) Since the setup will be single drive I don't see why I should accelerate while the driven wheel is not touching the ground. 3) If it were a problem, I could cutoff the motor when the load drops suddenly (wheel getting in the...

Some updates: Since some showed doubts regarding the mechanical design, today I presented it to my team. (I'm a control engineering PhD student in a robotic research group, that also includes two doctors in mechanical engineering.) They all said it should work. (But maybe they just want me...

Thank you guys for your replies and observations. I have actually never ridden a freeboard, but on the other hand I have quite some knowledge on electric motors. This probably explains my design choice. While driven casters might actually be the best solution from a mechanical, they require...

Hi All, I'm new but I've been lurking this amazing website for quite some time now. I have decided to build an e-freeboard (http://freebord.com/). As you can imagine is quite hard to motorize the caster wheels. So my idea is to put electric motors on 2 outer wheels on different sides of the...
