turning on that thing is going to be interesting.

Does anyone have experience with putting a one-way bearing inside the motor pulley to improve coasting? Obviously I lose braking ability with the one-way but I'm looking to build a small 28-30 inch commuter board with a top speed of only 13-14mph, so it's not very fast at all. I can stop with...

how do you adjust belt tension with that design?

I don't see a point. You're traction/balance limited at full acceleration, not power limited. A typical low end 6s 8ah 20c lipo pack can deliver 160amps continuous, times 22.2 volts = 3500 watts, which is more than enough power to toss you on your butt.

sale over, price is back to $80

disconnect one of your esc's dude. Why are you feeding it power when it's not connected to a motor? And buy some proper heatshrink next time you order from HK, it's like $0.25 a meter.

Hobbyking currently as the Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 6374-149kv for $46 from the US East Warehouse, these normally sell for $80+. I ordered 2 already. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=71864

when cornering the inside and outside wheels rotate at different speeds so unless you incorporate a differential, your idea won't work.

You do realize those images are computer renderings and not of the actual board itself right? lmao. Who knows what the real board will look like or how closely it resembles the CGI renderings or if it even exist at all.

my guess is the motor doesn't like the 50+volts you're running through it and you'll probably smoke it the second you put any load on it.

nice progress so far, can't wait to see the rest. Subbed!

range depends on how many batteries you want to carry onboard. You could get 100 mile range if you carried enough batteries. Saying a board only last 5 miles without specifying battery chemistry, voltage, capacity is stupid.

the problem is you have a one-way bearing inside the motor pulley, this allows the scooter to coast without any drag from the motor, however it also prevents any type of motor braking or regen capability. Your options are: A: give up the "coasting" ability and use a regular pulley on the...

IIRC the guy who made the post about tacons never coming back sells tacon clones for 3x the price... go figure.
