Is a DIY E-Skate worth it?

Thanks!

I want 90 mm wheels ABEC 11 because the pavement is not in good condition in some of the roads of my commute and for remote I'm thinking in a Badwolf case and the GT2b because I red here that it's the most reliable.

Yesterday I met with @206monkey32. We went to a longboard spot in Madrid, 20º C, blue sky... the perfect day for e-skating :D , I tried his DIY board and it was awesome. We enjoyed a lot even the hills of the spot are huge! Nice to meet you @206monkey32.

Now I'm waiting for the SK3 motor to be in stock and I'll start buying and building, can't wait!!!
 
Good on you mate.
And we look forward to seeing the finished product.

Man, I envy your good weather. Since I finished my dual it has been wet and cold here.
 
@white pony
Where you east in Germany mate?
Lived in Bielefeld a good while myself.
Ich freue mich auf Fruehling wenn es wenigstens helle und waerme list. Scheiss Winter. :x
 
you are very lucky to meet up with someone who's willing to help! cant wait to see the finished product.
i have yet to see anyone ride an e-board in philadelphia. more and more, i see people riding those mini-segways.
 
someone always gotta be the first! I never saw an eboard in my city, but someone closeby also bought an evolve now and a colleague of mine built his own single drive together with my tesseract! :)

@weechumlee: nice, im from middle/north of germany, living not far from hannover! currently its dry, but the streets are much colder than the air, so they are constantly wet. lame :p
 
You love my weather, I love your e-skates... maybe we can close a deal :lol: :lol: :lol:

A question about batteries, what are the specifications needed for the VESC and our motors? What are the continuouos and peak amps needed?
I could have some options on batteries:

- 10s3p 8.7Ah: 24A continuous - 60A peak
- 10s4p 11.6Ah: 32A continuous - 80A peak

- 10s3p 7.8Ah: 90A continuous - 210A peak
- 10s4p 10.4Ah: 120A continuous - 280A peak

What do you recommend me?

Thanks!!!!
 
Hi Leonard

Hehe, watch out, I may just turn up on your doorstep with two boards under my arms... :D :D

About the batteries:
Are those the "C" rating of the batteries?
I would think the first two options are a bit weak, sure would work, but the batteries would probably take a lot of strain and would "wear out" far faster.
Personally I would definitely go with one of the last two options. You will not draw that sort of power continuously which will ease the load on the batteries making them last far longer.
On my dual board I draw about 80A total (+-40 per motor) going uphill. (This is of course a pretty random value as my "uphill" may be far different to yours)

Next band of rain sweeping in over here - whoopee. :cry: :cry:
