    In this video series I will show you how to build an electric motorized longboard from scratch. It can reach speeds up to 34km/h and travel up to 20km with a single charge. The estimated costs are around 300$ which makes it a good alternative to commercial solutions.

    I thought this would just be a tutorial for how to attach a motor to an existing longboard. Didn't really expect you to show me how to make a longboard.

    • @austins_creations
      @austins_creations 8 років тому +2

      +Ciroluiro the title states part one the long board itself - this should imply that he is making his own long board. the possible method he chooses for making it electric is somewhat universal, and knowledge could be applied to other boards. there are also kits that can be purchased that come with the electronics and gears for making an electric long board. where as it looks like this video series will show you how to custom make the gears and motor mounts

      +Ciroluiro Ditto. Pleasantly surprised.

    Thanks for the tutorial GreatScott! I've been watching your videos for a long time now and enjoy every one of them!
    As a UA-camr myself (Biker's Garage 101) I know the time and effort that it takes to put a video together. It takes at least 4 times to do anything. Camera gear, placement, editing, etc...
    Keep up the good work!

  • @dr00by
    @dr00by 8 років тому +1

    Ideally when making a longboard you're meant to put a convex bow in the ply when you glue it together so you have a "sprung" board (kind of like leaf springs) that can absorb a small amount of shock however I can see how that might make problems for the chain drive later on

    Since you said in another video that a mechanical weak spot is the aluminum piece you milled, would it be a better idea to mount the motor to the wood adjacent to the wheel instead?

  • @iant720
    @iant720 8 років тому

    As a kid I bolted a 5th wheel in the middle of my skateboard it was about 10". I bungee corded a 32cc weed wacker motor and made a hand throttle. I had an extra skateboard wheel rubbing on the large side mounted one to drive it. It actually worked great!! I had to of been 12.

    Cooles Video! Um die Achsen am Board zu befestigen hast du ja ganz normale Shorties genommen, also Senkkopfschrauben. Ich hab mir auch einen Cruiser gebaut und habe mit davor noch im Bauhaus einen kleinen Senker gekauft mit Sechskant am Ende wie ein normaler Bit. Wenn du direkt nach dem Löcherbohren deine Löcher senkst liegen die Schrauben eben mit der Fläche am Board. Ich hab das auch gemacht mit einem Akkuschrauber.

    I think this Longboard building process has become standard and also this deck layout (2 or 3 * 4mm multiplex plates) is the standard layout. Today you shouldn't buy a deck anymore: Build your own one! Thumbs up for this Video!

      cheaper isn't always better... but you'll certainly learn a lot. head over to electric sphere. we build electric boards a lot over there. I like Alien Drive Systems and RedRock BoardShop builds but there are many to try!

    • @MaximilianStaab
      @MaximilianStaab 8 років тому

      +Stijn Stevens I build my own electric longboard and trust me, the boosted board is way more advanced. They simply use advanced battery management systems to allow for faster charging speeds and safer handling. The remote control is easy to use and very small and it uses sensored motors, which gives you a much smoother ride. You have to consider that Bossted Board has maybe the most advanced (and most expensive) boards out there, but there are many cheaper alternatives.

    • @esaedvik
      @esaedvik 8 років тому
