"more fun to build it than to buy it" Could not agree more :D

@memyselfandi6422 5 років тому

Tricky's World I could not disagree more, due to the fact that, what if you came upon an issue and you couldn't resolve it, then you would have a non working product which you would possibly have spent a considerable amount of time and money on, which doesn't even work, where as, if you buy an already built and working product you get to have fun immediately.

@tristanmcleish3825 5 років тому

@@memyselfandi6422 i disagree with your argument because building it trouble shooting it and fixing it and then having a one of a kind board is much more satisfying than just buying one that is just like hundreds of others and then when it brakes you don't have the knowledge or experience to fix it. or it is to me anyway

@memyselfandi6422 5 років тому

@@tristanmcleish3825 You can *try* to troubleshoot any issues that may arise, but what if you can't resolve the issue/s no matter how hard you try, the end result being you end up with a non working product and wasted money. You also end up frustrated and think to yourself that, you should have bought a professionally built product which you could now being having fun with. I would prefer to have a professionally built product that looks neat and tidy rather than building my own product which would end up looking ghetto and may not be as sturdy as a professionally built product.

@Petr214 5 років тому

@@memyselfandi6422 your problem isn't that you can"t resolve it.. it's that you don't even want to think about how to do it. Don't know how? Search, learn, educate yourself and try again. by just going out and buying stuff, you're losing a big part of the experience. People used to be more self reliant.. sigh

@memyselfandi6422 5 років тому

@@Petr214 I'd still prefer to buy it rather than build it, because while you (for a hypothetical example) are building your ugly looking frankenstein monstrosity, I am off having fun with my pleasure to look at and use, professionally built by experts who know what they're doing, electric skateboard. So who's the dummy in this situation, the guy having fun immediately or the guy who is slaving away still *trying* to build his toy who can't have any fun until his toy is built ? Would you rather purchase a gourmet meal at a restaurant which was prepared and cooked by a professional chef or would you prefer to buy the raw ingredients and *attempt* to make that same meal yourself at home ? If you attempted to make that meal for yourself from raw ingredients, do you think it would taste as good as the meal cooked by the professional chef, of course it wouldn't. *by going out and buying things you're losing a big part of the experience* What I lose in experience I make up for and gain in immediate satisfaction, fun and pleasure and I save heaps of time. *People used to be more self reliant* Yes they did, but that was in an age where people had no choice other than self reliance. If people throughout the ages had a choice (they didn't, but if they did), I am pretty sure convenience would win out over self reliance every time. In this modern day and age only gluttons for punishment would voluntarily choose self reliance over convenience. To take this argument to the extreme, do you or did you : Make your own clothes by sewing material together to make pants and shirts and underwear etc. ? Most likely not because it's more convenient to buy rather than make your own clothes. Build your own house ? (hypothetically speaking, because a lot of people rent rather than buy or even build these days) Cut your own hair ? I could keep going with different examples but I think you understand where I am going with this ?

@jonathanrodriguesdemiranda8583 3 роки тому

Hey guys and jehugarcia , I just wanne say that I was inspired to build this DIY Skateboard and I have done that. It is finnaly finnished, and I have to say It works realy well but just like jehugarcia said the tork is there but the speed is missing. so I will overvoltage the hub moters to a 12s battery, now I'm running them on 36 Volt (42v). I think most people don't have that much money so this is the cheapest build there is(?) for me the final cost where around 260 euro's (303 dollar). It is a lot of fun! Thanks for the great video!

@mojohammad 3 роки тому

Hi, I am also building a Hover Skateboard at the moment. How should I charge it / witch charger should I buy? I will connect 6 hoverboard batteries in parallel (total of 26ah on 36v on a xt 60 plug). Thanks for anybody that can help. Greetings from Germany

@jandastroy 5 років тому

If you're concerned about the double sided tape you could 3d print some kind of a rail to epoxy down to the board with a channel for the wires and slots for each battery pack you'd probably be able to strap it down pretty easily. Sweet board!

@jonah5908 5 років тому

Hey I used to skateboard alot, this looks really cool. But you should make a board with good sliding wheels (zomboehawgs for example) and increase the abrupt acceleration so you can pull off some crazy downhill slides. If you search up downhill longboarding, you'll get what I mean!

Hey jehu, you can just reconfigure motor windings in delta configuration to get more speed .nice video by the way😉

@ahaveland 5 років тому

More speed yes, but also less torque. It is possible to make it switchable between delta and star windings, so could use it like a gear shift. It would be a lot of fiddly work!

@powerarmor222 5 років тому

They are already in delta configuration. Wye configuration is very uncommon in these small Perm magnet motors

@Kallenator1988 5 років тому

Lee Burrow You dont need to rewind to go from delta to y or vica versa. But granted I am sure it can be an awkward job.

@ahaveland 5 років тому

Want! Definitely increase the voltage - it's current that kills motors more than voltage as long as the insulation holds up.

Increasing voltage increases current. Current and voltage are linked.

check out the voltage on the caps in the controller and build battery pack that would closely match that it should give u more speed. voltage = speed but you already know that ;) . thanks for the info about the hub couplers i have 2 hubs i wanna do something with but didn't have a clue as to how to mount them.

@dejayrezme8617 5 років тому

Awesome project, thanks! That looks pretty fast as an alternative to a bicycle. Which is really what you want to get around town. I have to look into this more, what is the best way, hoverboard or electric skateboard or e-bike? It feels a hoverboard would be better because you can control the speed with your feet instead of needing a remote. Another problem is of course the legality over here in Europe :/ EDIT: After looking a little, problem with hoverboards on even slightly uneven surfaces is that any vibration changes the tilt and makes the ride awkward as a transportation vehicle. So skateboard is probably actually better.

@hot23433971 5 років тому

hey! this is really nice but no one out there has done a proper super capacitor board, i mean its the best thing you can opt for in a skate board. it has a longer life cycle, gives instant energy which means better performance and can be used to capture energy back while breaking. i hope a lot of people upvote this so it becomes a thing on youtube.
