Justin have you made any progress with this project that you'd be willing to share?

At those kind of speeds I think you may have to reconsider using traditional geometry trucks and move over to a reverse kingpin setup. Traditional geometry trucks such as the legendary Bennett make for a great front pumping truck with a nice deep dive but can be quite 'squirrelly' at speed. RKP...

Now you've got me really excited! I'd definitely be interested in what you can develop with this concept… it's been far too long since my last board project :D

I love your concept and have been following it's development for many years. My dream board would be the skateboard equivalent of a pedelec - an electric assisted LDP setup. Check out http://pavedwave.org for the theory behind LDP. Mark at http://www.gbomblongboards.com has been hard at work...

Hope the Rojas work out for you. Can't wait to see this project mature.

Going round in circles? Here's a thread from a year ago that touched on the workings of Alien ESCs. Makes for some interesting reading. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=53398&p=794430&hilit=alien#p794430

Now you've got me excited! I'm still struggling with cogging on startup with my Alien 150A ESCs on my 4x4 e-MTB. I'd hoped that a motor (6374) per wheel on 10s would deal with the issue but it still remains. Granted, it isn't designed for onroad use (much less inertia to overcome) but I wouldn't...

Finally back home for a few days and there's a package from Australia waiting for me... A few observations; Parts look great, solid with a smooth polished finish. Great looking machining, love all the angles. Anodising is good and uniform, the blue really pops. Powder coat colour on trucks...

Woohoo :mrgreen:

Looking good. Look forward to getting news on the K1 setup I won back in June. Can't wait to start the build...

I believe hub motors (and weight sensing) to be the holy grail for commuter e-boards. If correctly applied it should be a more efficient solution than geared drives, allow more natural coasting and look more stealth to boot. Skateboards are susceptible to immense vibration and the load on the...

Did you read through to the end of the thread? In the latest version Justin was using 83mm Centrax.

If you have the skills and access to tools then something along these lines maybe...http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=49557
