r/ElectricSkateboarding

I was taking my toddler for a late night walk when we saw a nearly mint condition bumper car looking thing for kids sitting on the curb on trash night. My daughter was enamored straight away by the "pink robot" and asked if she could play with it. It was VERY clearly with the garbage bins and the charger was wrapped up on the seat. Switching the power on and nothing happening solidified that it was free to a new home.

I took it home and metered the piddly 6v battery... 1.8v. R.I.P. wee battery. Before making a replacement 6v battery, my teenage son and I hooked it up to a DC variable power supply to see if the controller could take a 12v power source. Voila! No issues and a decent power upgrade to the motors as well. I wired up a small 12v pack last night and I can't wait to see her try it out today when I'm home from work. I still need to rewire the charge port to take a 12v charger I had laying around but I'm all in at about $free.50

I passed him a minute earlier and he caught up. He was hauling ass to catch me! The only person to pass me on my entire ride. I enjoyed our mini drag race. Kudos, Mr. friendly cyclist.

Was my daily driver for a year after I broke my arm. Now it carts my gf around on her broken ankle. Propel X4R and a Scandinavian Design stool top.

This was my first electric longboard in a while, and I had the board for about two hours. It arrived with 17 km already on the odometer, and I only put about 9 km on it myself before this happened.

I was cruising on a flat, paved bike path at around 20 km/h when I went over a tiny 1 inch pavement lip. The rear truck hanger snapped completely in half instantly, and I got flung onto the asphalt and got pretty scratched up.

I’m honestly shocked. A truck shouldn’t break like this under normal riding conditions, especially on the first day of use.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does this look like a manufacturing defect? I’ve already contacted the company, but I’m curious what others think and what I should do next.

I just couldn't let it go... The meepo lawn chair continues lol the cooler will be in the back on future rides and I bought a clamping cup holder on Amazon for $10. Plus of course my umbrella and I'm all set for summer 🏝️ In total I've spend about $40 in hardware and one can of spray paint plus that adapter for the DeWalt batteries. Everything else was something i had or something I took from my brother. Sure I'm adding weight and I'll lose some distance but if I'm sitting down I can take as many DeWalt batteries as I need 😂 no no this is only temporary. Might as well just go all out on it while I can. Added two penny board trucks that I took from my brothers super old board and now I have way more balance sitting down. Idk how well I can turn yet but because of the way trucks are made it shouldn't affect me at all. No 3d printer but I made this remote holder out of some wood.

This is the 4th version of my chair. It now has fenders and marker lights.

Ratchet straps with a rubber pad underneath. I think I’ve gotten around 1000 miles in this format now? Comfy even at 32 mph.

I opened her up a few days later, bone dry. Almost a week later and she’s still working with 0 issues.

I had a Boosted Board Stealth back in 2019 and ended up selling it in 2020. Since then, I’ve gone through six different boards, but I’ve always missed the feel of the Boosted.

I’d been hoping to get another one someday, but everything on the used market felt way overpriced, so I could never justify pulling the trigger.

Then I came across this brand-new Boosted Board on Marketplace for just $750 CAD! It even came with a set of Shredlights SL-200s, which was an awesome bonus.

I’m planning to design some custom motor mounts so I can swap the stock trucks for wider ones. I’ll post an update here once the mods are finished!

I really don't want to destroy this thing 😭 it's so much fun plus it looks so silly when you're eating a sandwich on a plate with some chips. Had to screw on the umbrella so I wouldn't lose it on a windy day today. You get used to the speed wobbles and after a couple of rides it honestly becomes easy enough to go a decent speed. It's unmatched when it comes to chill rides lol

Road had a dip in a turn I couldn't see but knew was there from previously going on that stretch. Hit it and it threw the board sideways... rest is history. I have been thrown and recovered from the board slipping out sideways on the daily almost from hitting bumps or dips in the road but this one really got me. Threw me Into a sprint immediately.

All in all coulda been a lot worse, hope my knees won't be too bad becouse I have a trip in the next 3 days.

First fall since the last 10k ish km

After months of suffering, being lied to, gaslighting and ect. Tynee finally did what i kept urging them to. Which is being honest(atleast to a degree)

Their warrenty now says their boards are ip54 and not ip56! Im sorry for current owners of tynee if you bought the product under false pretense but hopefully this will help future buyers make a more informed decision

Im trying to get into eskating, it seems really fun and ive skated normally for a long time. Im debating on buying this used exway x1 pro for 300usd. (3000kr) is it worth it? Should i replace the wheels? The owner says it works well, with good range and speed

Olá a todos, sou estudante de Engenharia Elétrica no Instituto Federal de Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul, aqui no Brasil, então peço desculpas pelo meu inglês. Tenho um projeto em mente para construir um skate elétrico com o menor custo possível, considerando que recebo R$ 400 (US$ 81,43) por mês e que até o motor mais simples específico para skate elétrico custa quase R$ 500 (US$ 101,79). O que fiz até agora foi procurar um motor que se encaixe no meu orçamento e calcular se ele consegue me impulsionar. Preciso de ajuda para saber se esse cálculo está correto. (Pretendo usar dois motores) (I'm studying for a technical degree in electrical engineering, Google translation incorrect.

Motor CC de alto torque 775 – 24V

Redução de 1:5 (60T e 12T)

Finalmente, 4 rodas de 60mm

O que foi calculado:

Torque na roda com a polia: 2,5 N.m

Força no solo com a roda de 60mm: 41,6 N

E aceleração com uma massa de 60kg (132,277 lbs): 0,69 m/s²

Você recomenda o uso de polias fabricadas com uma impressora 3D? )
