    Electric Skateboard on/off switch??

    Hi I was wondering if anyone knew how to make an on/off switch for a electric skateboard. I'm kind of tired connecting and disconnecting the cables. If possible, I'm looking for a on/off switch that will allow me switch it off without worrying the lipo batteries discharging.

    Second Skateboard Build

    Those longboads look cool. Although just be careful of the trucks. Mounting the motor is usually the most difficult part in building the electric skateboard. Best of luck

    Second Skateboard Build

    I'm not sure what brand of trucks are they. But their roughly 10 inches wide. Bought a longboard from ebay and just recycled the wheels and trucks. Tried to cut down the longboard but I ended up throwing it away as the end product was not what I wanted. Gear ratio is 3:1 with a 5mm pitch belt...

    Second Skateboard Build

    It costs around £250. I know, it's almost the cost of an electric skateboard in the market. However if a part breaks I can fix it myself and not a lot in the market focuses on a portable electric skareboard for that price, power and battery life. And I like cause I built it myself. It weighs...

    Second Skateboard Build

    Hi guys Thought I would share my build with you guys, since I got most of the information from this forum. I was mainly focusing on a board that I can carry around and making it as light as possible. Deck The deck is about 26 inches (as you can see its crudely built). I am happy with the size...

    Making the GT2b controller less sensitive

    Thanks for the quick reply. However, I still want the full throttle. I just want the trigger to be stiffer/ more resistance.

    Making the GT2b controller less sensitive

    Hi I am really happy with the GT2B controller. However, I find the trigger is a bit sensitive. This especially becomes hard when trying to just cruise in a certain speed. I was wondering if anyone has solved this problem? (e.g. like putting rubber or a spring behind the trigger for...

    IT'S ALIIIVVVEE..... I was able to solder it on. Didn't have any shrink rap but was able to use some electrical tape to cover the 4mm female connectors :) Just used the existing wires the ESC Ezrun Max8 supplied with and soldered some 4mm female connectos to connect it with the 4mm male...

    Building an Electric Skateboard - im in too deep

    I wish I was at that stage. Still having trouble connecting the ESC to the motor. Tired soldering 4mm female connectors to the wires it came with (8mm male connectors) however the wire was too thick! How were you able to connect the ESC (which has 8mm female connectors) to the Turnigy Motor...

    Building an Electric Skateboard - im in too deep

    Ok just received my esc from hobby king. But it looks like the hobbywing ezrun has a 8mm female connector and my motor only has 4mm male plugs. My question is there any way of connecting a 4mm male plug to 8mm female hole? (Maybe with some kind of adapter) and without the need of soldering any...

    Can I use this esc for the above motor and battery? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__81496__Hobbywing_EZRUN_MAX8_V3_150A_Brushless_ESC_UK_Warehouse_.html And is it as simple as attaching the dean connectors from x2 3s battery to the esc?

    Building an Electric Skateboard - im in too deep

    I'd love to build an VESC...however I don't have the time or the knowledge on how to make one (its hard enough trying to convince my wife that I need an electric skateboard). Might see what Enerion releases.

    Switich my batteries from Lipo to LiFePo4

    Hi I am quite worried that my Lipos might catch fire while on the road as the terrain is pretty rough and I would like to bring the skateboard with my most of the time. I was wondering if I switch my 3S batteries (5000amh 20C - in series) with some LiFePo4 ( such as these -...

    Building an Electric Skateboard - im in too deep

    Hi I love skateboarding...but I recently had an accident which resulted on not being able to kick with my leg. Determined not to give up I decided to build an electronic skateboard. I've been reading up online and bought some part. I was able to sort out the drive kit. However, I am really...
