I've been looking at many of the builds here for inspiration for quite some time. It seems that all the best Mountain boards builds have the same thing in common; their battery box is right in the middle of the board, top side. The list of advantages to this is probably long:
Easy access.
with foot bindings, feet are in fixed positions at the sides, leaving the middle as prime real estate for battery enclosures
middle is probably the area with most vibration dampening, especially with those W shaped Trampa decks
weight distribution is more even at the center.
Maybe I'm swimming against the current here, but has anybody tried putting the battery enclosure at the rear of the board with any success?
like maybe connected to the actual motor mount, or on the 35 degree bend at the rear. I just seems to be more aesthetic to me, and doesn't 'foul-up' the deck.
maybe shorter wire lengths are the only actual advantage here but I'm curious
here is a picture of my very first, somewhat mediocre attempt at this.
