6s Penny board for fun

[Gatwod]

I have been dying to put my setup on a 22" Pennyboard (replica) and finally pulled the trigger and made it happen.



Don't mind the zip-ties



The motor would only fit facing the rear because of clearance issues.


I thought this would be an awesome idea, to have a more compact board to carry around. I was wrong, this is like strapping your feet to a rocket. The turning radius is pretty horrible, and overall just a pretty bad experience. Things that may make this work better: Less power....shorter wheelbase...smaller wheels.

Thought I'd post if anyone was thinking about trying it out

Put a thick and heavy deck on top of it with the same width as the trucks, and it will turn better. You don't have enough leverage with the narrow and plastic deck.

I like it, it's cute.

Lol. I liked your other build better, but hey, something new. Nice job!

Make another one and you'll have e-roller skates!

you can probably do power wheelies with that kind of wheelbase :lol:
