Wow. Impressive. Nothing like going 25mph in a POS that you can't buy parts for. I guess some plywood and drywall screws can fix anything. That orange slow moving vehicle triangle gets the ladies going wild.
I can see what happened to make it break. I had a similar problem with his drive pulley. The wheel drive pulley gets sucked in to close to the wheel and the belt drags on the edge of the wheel. This creates a lateral force on the mount and it snapped. His drive pulleys sit too close to the...
Would be nice to include any custom parts needed. Sprockets, wheel adapter and such. So maybe a base package for people to source the rest of the off the shelf parts and an option to buy those other parts wheels, clamp, fork ect. if you are interested in stocking them. Otherwise just point us...
I though about vacuum forming, but wanted the box tightly formed to the shape of the deck. In the future I might try it after making a mold of the deck so I can use a smaller vacuum table. Building something deck size would be more difficult. This worked out pretty well and I think the end...
I put it on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Never got hot enough to turn to goo. I think Kydex has different properties than ABS as well.
I recently made a battery enclosure for my eskate and documented it along the way. I used 0.080 inch Kydex sheet and heated it in the oven then pressed it with a homemade press. Learned a lot and figured I would share for anyone that wants to try something similar. What kind of things have...

Looking good. Any plans to sell you scoot chassis or release drawings for us to recreate? My kid has been asking for one and I have a couple extra VESCs so I might as well build one for each of us.
The VESC will have the version number printed on the board. I got a Ollin VESC a couple months ago and it was a 4.11, just try and look under the heat shrink and see the number. Mine worked out of the box on 2.16 of BLDC Tool, but I know 2.17 is out now. What version of BLDC do you have...
What a POS idea. Like a backpack is really that intrusive when riding.
Kinda reminds me of the old TV/VCR combo. Most people had a TV with a broken VCR stuck to it.
