Removable longboard motor

Video is only sideways for a short time.

A removable longboard motor I made as a summer project. unfortunately the battery wasn't fully charged so it wasn't as fast as it could've been.

I can't hear the video, could you please tell me where you salvaged the parts? Especially that wheel (does it have the motor in it?) This is probably one of the coolest systems I've ever seen for a skate!

Hey man, I hope you do build one! I got all the electronics, wheel, motor, battery case and steel pipe from a Razor brand electric scooter. The other steel like in the base plate, and bolts, I got from the scrap pile at my highschool's metal shop and a local hardware store.

Cool project!

but dude, PLEASE re-shoot or edit this! that rotating back and forth is incredibly annoying!

[AimlessPayload]

yeah, I really feel like an idiot with it like this. This was kind of impromptu and my girlfriend didn't really think things through as she filmed.

That looks pretty sweet. Good work! (seen in r/longboarding)

Shut up and take my money!

What kind of board you got?

[xNinjaGurl]

That's pretty sweet for just a summer project. Were you the only one to work on it? I hope you implement some regen into it so you can ride all day next. (seen in r/engineering)
