4WD Electric Skateboard

Specs:
24V DC SLA Battery System (22Ah)
350W DC Brushed Motors (One on each wheel)
300A Motor Controller w/ Regenerative Braking ability
Dead-Mans break set at 20% if you fall off.
E-Glide GI Deck
Bionic Trucks
MBS Wheels/Tires
24MPH Top Speed
1400W Total Power
5 mile range
85lbs *yes that's heavy
very tight turning radius, I would guess 5 feet.


As you can see in the video the skateboard handles GREAT! The 4WD really keeps the board going, and if the tires lose traction it drifts controllably with all 4 wheels spinning. Ok fine, sometimes it's "uncontrollable"... 

Special thanks to: My Dad for working on the wiring and pulling an all-nighter with me; to my Uncle Paul for letting me use his machine-shop; and my lovely girlfriend JuliAnn for filming this!
All I ever talk about now are Electric Skateboards, it's amazing I still have a girlfriend after all of my projects. It must drive her crazy. Haha.

Thanks.

hey joshpit2003 do you think you could send me some schematics on building one of these please:)

[joshpit2003]

@Skiler091 If you decide to build one then I'm happy to help answer questions. In which case send a private message or contact me via e-mail. make sure to put together a complete list of questions before sending it my way. I dont have time to step-by-step it, but if you are a do-it-yourselfer that can solve your own problems, then I am happy to help. keep in mind these take lots of time and lots of money to make. Expect to spend around 1.5-2K -Josh

can you post up a tutorial or schematics behind the wiring and proper placement of the batteries? me and my friends have thought of this sort of idea... but it would be more like all the all the motors and batteries are at one end of the board... your designs is very unique... very nice

[joshpit2003]

@stockmarket101 There really isn't much to the wiring when you are using standard SLA batteries. And as far as placement you really onlt have two options: In Series or In Parallel. If you want some pointers or more info just shoot me a private message and we can communicate via e-mail. Thanks.

Eazily the best I've seen Yet !!!! thank You ! no other footage shows Slides without having to hang on !!! You do it Well !!!

[joshpit2003]

@BudMantheyBand Thanks dude. I guess the years of normal-skateboarding helped my balance. This was the first time this board ever saw dirt, so it was still new to me.

one side will recharge the other if u split it front to back.

@joshpit2003 Yes probably, I am from Montenegro and I've been doing it for 3 years or so. At first I started with a cheap Asian made one, but throughout the years I developed and enhanced it to the beast it is now :P.
