    Best motor?

    "To each their own but 200 bucks for an 800 watt brushed motor is not the typical cost to performance ratio of a motor in this hobby" I got a much better deal. Call them. You can also source the motor online. You should pay 120-150$ or so for that motor online. Honestly I dont know what...

    Best motor?

    Brushed Motors in 2015 Yes they are brushed. A high quality sealed brushed motor will last thousands of miles. There is no upkeep. When the brushes are finally to worn to work to use you will be long into a new board and a new motor. You dont maintain them. You simply use them and throw them...

    Best motor?

    That is one of them. You have to email or call them. I recomend talking to them before you buy anything. They come with different amp/voltage ratings not listed on the site. The install for his kit is as easy as it can get.

    Best motor?

    Go to eglide and ask him for the information on his 36v I-Drive kit including motor. Its literally the most respected controller world wide. He will probably fit you with a Unite motor at about 800w. You wont hear squat if you run a belt. It should fit under the board just fine. To get that kind...

    -How much does the rider weight? -What kind of board are you building? Long board? Mountain board? Traditional wheels? What kind of trucks? -What is the desired top speed? -What is the desired range? -What kind of area are you riding in? Lots of hills? Long flats? Offroad?

    Best motor?

    Using toy grade RC ESCs from China for EV applications will net you lots of noise and reliability issues. Try a company like Adaptto or PG-Drive-Systems. You will never have problems cogging and any decent EV controller made today will remove just about all of those nasty peaks that make all...

    How far is your average eboard ride?

    Sounds about right. Difference is the belt is less then 15$ online. Is all dependent on how you ride though. I can get 200-300 out of my commuter belt. The belts I ran on weekends could last from 1 mile to 100 though. It all depends on the circumstances.

    MBS ATS trucks

    It does not matter what truck you buy. If you mount the motor like that it is going to break over and over. That chunk of metal you have in hand here may as well be 200+ pounds when you hit the ground. Its just poor design. Lots of people use clamp type of brackets that hug the truck making them...

    MBS Pro 12 e-mtb build

    Board looks very nice. Just a warning though. I have tried 2 versions of that motor mount type. You will crack the lower truck for sure. If you do any kind of offroading or tricks you need a better mount. I solved my issue by using angle aliminum and boldint it on the back and bottom. Another...

    LiFePO4 battery source anyone?

    Its just plain old science. There is a reason insurance companies all require companies to store lipo in special fire proof enclosures Apart from eachother. Hell my company has a bann on them. They are the high risk cheap battery of choice for people who want cheap light high output battery...

    Throttle getting stuck, wireless

    So... after hundreds of miles my daily rider is giving me problems. Controller found on this page http://www.alteredelectricskateboards.com/parts.htm. I found that when ever a fire department vehicle gets near me my throttle sticks. This is a new problem. I had no issues in the past. I tested it...

    Source for dual motor mount to fit MBS Matrix trucks?

    I ride around 10 miles a day during a hard urban commute weather permiting atm. I also offroad a lot when ever I can. I started with a metal plate that I drilled out. I moved to angle aluminum.

    MBS Matrix Trucks?

    I have been cruising for a few days now. Started poppeing curbs today. So far so good. Still going to get the all metal truck for the rear. It has been below freezing here.

    controller with electric brake?

    I was hoping someone would know of an ev quality controller. None of these rc controllers are built for ev applications. They all burn up and seldome offer the ability to wire the controller vs wireless.

    controller with electric brake?

    I recently started working on some e-board builds after many years of e-biking. The biggest problem I face is most of the motors and controllers for e-boards are birthed from the rc world. Finding a reliable brushless controller that will cog from a stand still and provide good electric braking...
