Anyone make a larger hub motor for electric skateboards?

[JRP3]

I was wondering if there are any larger hub motors for electric skateboards, something that could run a 6-9 inch pneumatic tire? Something similar to what scooters use, seems as if they should have lots of power considering how fast some scooters can go.

Yeah something like that but maybe a bit smaller and made for a skateboard axle. That looks as if it needs an axle with flats, or comes installed on an axle already. Skateboard hub motors locate onto a square part of the truck on the inside:

I think you need to be a bit more flexible about the axle part. Looking at powerful or off road longboards for example you see that they use a motor in the middle with axels or a belt drive.

I don't think those little square pegs can withstand a 6-9 inch hub motor sticking further out.

That's a good point, but then I'd need to make my own skateboard trucks, or adapt existing ones, both of which are possible of course.

Grin's weight sensing electric longboards #4 and 5, and kit!

I thought I'd start a new thread for this. For those who aren't familiar I've been a big fan of hands free control of electric longboards where you just shift your weight forwards or backwards to either accelerate or brake the motors. First alpha prototype was completed in 2007, and the plan was...

I didn't see any large hub motors in that thread.

OK, I was trying to picture what you were designing. Originally I thought that it was going to be more like rollerblades. Will this have one or two drive wheels per skate? Could it be a three wheel design, with two wheels mounted on trucks up front, and a center mounted hub motor out back?

Axle basically like a bike and 8 inches:

RC motor with a short reduction ratio would be a lot of fun.

I see the confusion caused by my initial thread title and post. I've edited both, I'm looking for motors for an electric skateboard. I found this, hub motors with planetary gears

Link to #0 had a big looking motors
Grins got the 8"

But its was more about the fabrication to make it all fit and work.

I see it now.
