As promised, here is the video all about my DIY Electric Skateboard / Longboard. To me, it's better than a boosted board with a range of 10 miles and a top speed of 25mph. The board is built with parts from Torque Boards, Enertion Boards, Random Amazon Parts, and Hobby King.
It has it's faults but I still love it.

Shyro Channing cost about $600.
In this build there is no power switch. You plug in the battery to the vesc to power it on.
It accelerates and decelerates with the controller.
Would u be able to make this on a penny bord
Mike Beard Fred
if you need help with the app I can help
Mike Beard o
I've been all over the internet, looking at prebuilt, diy, and tons of other electric skateboards. This one seems to be the best bang for my buck. The charge times and inconvenience of the batteries are totally worth the speed, range, and price. I'm amazed you were able to do this with little/no skateboard building experience before..
Well done.
I am honestly amazed at myself... Going into I literally had no idea wtf I was doing. Thank god for youtube lol. And I really appreciate the comment :) Thanks man
Mike Beard dude tutorial. I need it
@@MikeBeard Thank God for God.
Hey man, I absolutely love your board. I love the idea of building one myself, but I also have no past experience. I'm sure thousands of people would love to see a general overview of your board, to see where/how you placed things. Not necessarily a full blown tutorial, but a detailed review would be extremely appreciated.
Shooting a full overview tomorrow! Expect an upload Monday or Tuesday!
Thanks so much, I'm super excited!
Mike Beard Hi, i really like the idea and the whole project in general and im trying to make a similar project. I wanted to know if i could use a different motor controller from the one you used since i find it very expensive(200$). do you reccomend any cheaper ones? Thank you
I purchased my VESC for $99. Where are you located Helix?
Big Kids im from malta (europe)
Great job man. I'm in a similar situation to you- built a board over the summer for college with lipos and Carvon hubs. Top speed: 32mph; range: 10-12 miles. Best investment I've ever made
+KleiberFan That's awesome. Damn 32 😮 I'd die on that thing! It really is one of the best investments 😎
What's your specs?
2 13000mah 3s lipos in series, 2 6s car escs (solid braking and very reliable), GT2B hobby controller, 90mm wheels. The dual Carvon hubs are total tanks- I ride them in the pouring rain and rough pavement here in the UK (uni) and nothing stops them. I'm hitting 50kph on 6s- If I were to upgrade to vescs and 12s, I could easily cross 80kph. Making a project like this is totally doable- I purchased most of my parts off eBay, and got the Carvons used on www.electric-skateboard.builders. It's great to see people like Mike getting the word out on how to make these things!
KleiberFan hey man could you link me to those 13000mah batteries and the ESC too ?
Sure thing!
Esc (120a 6s):
www.ebay.com/itm/FVT-120A-Brushless-Sensored-Sensorless-RC-Car-ESC-2-6S-1-10-USA-SHIP-120-AMP-/172389544841?hash=item282337b389:g:sZMAAOSwx2dYEmjn
Very reliable and robust- just make sure you keep them cool with venting or exterior mounts. The only issue I've had with my board was in the first week when the escs overheated (when they overheat, the failsafe kicks in and applies full brake- not fun when you're on the board). The failsafe can be disabled with a firmware update, but just ensure there's adequate airflow and you'll be fine.
Batteries: I can't seem to find my exact batteries on the eBay site anymore, but they're this brand (just choose your mah):
www.ebay.com/itm/2x-FLOUREON-20C-11-1V-5500mAh-3S1P-Lipo-RC-Battery-Deans-Plug-for-Car-Truck-Boat-/272608800990?hash=item3f78c030de:g:jOEAAOSwuLZY2kd2
These are cheap and last a while with proper care
Make sure you check out the builders forum- there are thousands of posts from people building and selling e-boards, and many great tips to be gathered!
Good luck!
damn that looks sick. could you add a link to a tutorial or something about how you built it and what you used to teach you how or whatever. Thanks!
+Grant Becker haha thanks 😊 and I used so many different videos to teach myself. There really isn't one video that explains it al
ah, alright. How much was it in total? How does it handle going up a curb? Does the bottom rub?
+Grant Becker In total it was about $650 but you can make one for much cheaper if you select cheaper parts. The large 83mm wheels handle the edges of sidewalks like a pro. And the bottom has plenty of clearance. Just have to watch out for some speed humps in parking lots sometimes 👍🏻
Can you make a video on how you charge it and the parts on the inside
+Blank Most likely 😉
So I'm trying to build an electric skate board and I found these cheap motors but not sure what the extra sensor wires are for and if I can use the motors with just 3 regular wires and not include sensor ones
I currently have a Verreal V1S and a Blitzart Hurracane dual motor.Both decent budget boards that have served me well but I would like to convert one of them to belt drive because I would like to run the rough stuff wheels.
What kit could I buy that would work with one of those boards batteries and esc?
Thanks
why dont you hsve more subscribers?!?! your content is awesome
+Fliddelu Thanks man! Had 160 2 weeks ago. The support from everyone has been unreal 👍🏻
Couldn't agree more !!!
Why are so many people down here hating on him?? He did nothing wrong he has a drone because its a film making tool besides how does that have anything to do with the board? This guy has good potential on youtube you guys will see just wait
+DEP Delight Hey thanks man 👍🏻
looking for a summer project and considering trying to build an electric skateboard. Could you make a video about how you built the board?
Just finished shooting it, editing now. I will be posting it ASAP
I saw the parts list but there are many options for each part. Can you please specify which version you used for each part?
You should make a video where you make a charging port for it
WATCH THE FULL BUILD TUTORIAL HERE: ua-cam.com/video/_G0e4_WeKzw/v-deo.html
Mike Beard did u build the actual board its self, not the parts I know that u did that, but the actual board?
No, I bought the deck on amazon :) Link in description
Mike Beard iii
Mike Beard thanks man
Mike Beard can you plz tell me or send me links for where and what parts you got thx man
Can you please make a video in the future of you opening that box and sharing all the names of the parts and specs? what was that motor callled?
+Isaiah Schlegel I am actually releasing the video Monday or Tuesday. Keep an eye out. The link to the motor is in the description 👍🏻
My board has battery died (is a Pb battery) so I was thinking to put a lipo one . Any suggestion? Cos the shop said me I risk to make the battery explode because doesn’t have enough power
I also go to UNLV, and I know exactly what you mean riding around. I wanted to get a Boosted Board, but I'm not prepared to spend $1500 to get around campus.
Exactly why I built one, I probably could have saved a little longer and gotten a boosted board, but this way was more fun and ALOT cheaper. Maybe I'll see you around sometime :)
How much did it cost you overall
About $600
Sounds good! I've seen you riding around with a camera a couple times before. I'll call you the next time I see you around. Btw, I just followed you on IG.
Haha awesome man! Just shout and I'll stop and say hi!
quit college and start your own electric skateboard company.
+Kyle Kloppe That'd be awesome 😎
Mike Beard And make sure it's cheap and affordable not like the other rip off expensive electric skateboard companies
Bro I just saw this now. I honestly thought about making my own and selling them. I won't quit college but I might try to design an awesome board that's pretty affordable. 🤔
Mike Beard YES PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF YOU DO START MAKING SOME PLEASE( love your content)
+Paul Benard I will work on a few designs and see what I can come up with. What features/price range would you consider purchasing?
I'm wondering how you charge your battery. Is it one of those big chargers where you have to set up the parameters?
Where did you get the remote from and what components did you use to connect and control the board?
+Daniel Cohen the links for everything I used is in the description
Caseys gonna love this if he sees it...
He is like Casey
Get an evolve board range is epic and top speed is great
Corrales1025 I know 50k range sounds like a dream
it truly is, belive me i have the new Evolve bamboo gtx, and it's amazing!!
Hi,
I plan on using a 230 kv motor with 6s setup, I live in place with steep hills my weight is 90 kg what you think about this combination.
Hey mike great video! Im also building an electric skateboard but have one question: why do you have a 10s2p pack?? Thats a realy low number of parallel cells, is that good enough for a good ride? And why? (Just curious to know)
hahahahahha says that boosted board is expensive then pulls out a drone out of the bag which costs $2000. well done.
+TheGodbaba95 costs half that. And is a filmmaking tool that will pay for itself. A Boosted Board won't make me a dime...
just saying it sound ridiculous. and how much did the overall build cost?
+TheGodbaba95 about $600
well at least it costs half of a boosted board
+TheGodbaba95 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Charge your batteries with a parallel battery charger for faster charge times
+Brooks Modesitt 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Not in your parts list!
So do you have the batteries hooked up in series or connected separately?
Because if you had them hooked up in series it would be less of a bitch to charge them
i've made an electric skateboard that uses a 6s battery but i am going to upgrade to a 9s battery. I was wondering what VESC setting you used for your 9s battery board?
Great board I built one that has a top speed of 45mph, but I've limited that using my vesc because it's a bit too fast, I like how you say it's better than a boosted, but it's hard to compare a diy with a boosted because a diy will always beat a boosted in speed and range, but the build quality of a boosted is stunning and it comes with an app and the startup is very smooth
Yup, just depends what you value in a board. If it's about range and speed then DIY for sure, if it's about convenience and ergonomics then Boosted Board all the way.
What motors did you buy?
Isaiah Schlegel I actually only bought one motor, the turnigy sk3 245kv, its great for budget boards yet it's got an enormous amount of power, using this motor with an untamed esc is like a boosted board on steroids, it will throw you of fairly easily, it hasn't been hot yet I've ridden up and down hills at high speeds and it's only been warm, the only damage on the motor is a few scratches from rocks I really recommend it to any diy skateboard builder
Thank you! where did you buy it?
Isaiah Schlegel I bought it from hobbyking, it cost me around €70 but I have a gold membership so not sure how much it would cost you, it won't be to much more
I’m like one hundred percent UA-cam is listening to me I said how do you make a electric skateboard and a electric skateboard ad poped up
Big brother. Spying on you 24/7
any recommendations for a deck, truck, wheels? i weigh 362LBS!! i thought about stacking 2 decks and putting 2 wheels where each wheel goes, but do they make axles that long? don't worry, i'm burning it off on the treadmill.
I bought a longboard to get around quick for cheap, but the only problem is that it is hilly and I am not good enough to stop down these big hills, is there any way I could get the parts you used and/or the website that you used to research. Thanks a lot!
+Robert Graman Full parts list in the description 👍🏻
oh that top shirt
haha yeahhh
Torpid HOLY SHIT I JUST NOTICED I LOVE YOU
This guy is the best ever Casey clone I've ever seen. The music, the equipment, the style, EVERYTHING is just like Casey! I've never seen anything like it
hey man, can you tell me what i would need to get a board that would give me a range of 60-70 km ? the range is the thing that matters most to me, speed can be at around 18-20 mph i don;r need a really really fast one, just one that could ride really long distances. i can make it bigger to fit more batteries, and i myself don't weigh that much.
i am planning on building my own board, what motor and gearing did you use to achieve that speed. I want to try get all my parts for under 400 bucks. Will take me another 6 months to get a Boosted Board and i wanna ride now!! Great video thank you for all the info.
+crazymd15 The motor and pulley system I used is in the description 👍🏻
2:53 twenty one pilots vessell merch
it looks like its going 80mph
+Vietboy Gamer Haha can you imagine 😱
I subscribed just from watching the first 6 seconds lol, the quality is better than most big youtubers!
+Isaac Lyons Thanks man! I really appreciate it 😎
Mike Beard, your welcome!
hey man, could you talk to me about board flex?
is it better for a boosted board for it to be able to flex more or be stiffer?
if it's more flexible, I believe it will be more comfortable to ride for a long distance, but couldn't the flex of the board mess up/bend the connections and components screwed to the botttom?
also, would speed bumps be a problem, since by going over them we may hit the components to the ground and damage them?
thanks in advance!
The stiffness or the flexibility of a board is completely up to the rider. I wouldn’t say one is Better than the other. I personally like a stiffer board because it seems more steady at higher speeds. But the flexible boards take the vibrations from the road down. So it’s just personal preference.
Speed bumps can be a problem depending on how large the speed bump is and how much clearance you have.
Obligatory please wear a helmet post.
Get something damn good looking like a tag pass or a Ruroc and you'll want to wear it every time you ride
3:19 poor peasant in the background
What battery setup do you have to get 10 miles?? I have a 6S1P Lipo setup. It goes 25 mph but only gets 7 miles. Are you doing 8, 9 or 12S? Asking because my buddy is doing a build soon and was thinking about a 12S system.
I am running 3 3s batteries in series to make 9s
Sorry if this was already posted, but were using the boosted board controller for acceleration? Also, can your board break as well?
No, I am using a different controller. All of my parts I used are in the updated parts list. And Yes, there is a braking system
Casey Neistat?
No hate whatsoever, but please stop copying CASEY's style for editing video, at least change the music. Otherwise, keep on with the good work.
Alcala333 it's cringe
Alcala333 he can do whatever he want. It's his video. I understand you said no hate but still maybe he was inspired how Casey neistat and it's his videos let him do what he wants
Being inspired and being a copy cat are two different things...
Originality is overrated
Casey didn’t patent his “editing style” did he?
hey Mike, great project! I just started building one... will send you pics soon :) I have a question for you about the batteries: have you tested 6S/7S/8S setups? looks like your 9S works just fine. For the boosted board they use 12S. I’m wondering how low can you go while keeping good acceleration/speed (it would half the weight and costs of batteries and ESC)
+Matteo Castrofino I’ve seen some good set ups with 6s. But I would recommend 10s. All around good speed and acceleration. And would love to see photos 😎
How much in total did the board cost and could you possibly show me what parts you used and how you built it because I have been wanting a electric skateboard for a long time but i just don’t have the money and I know it’s asking a lot but it would be awesome if you could thanks!
+chance palmer There is a full parts list in the description :)
Hey Mike Beard I want to build one I havnt been on a skate board for over ten years but I'm confident I can get right back on one.... but anyways... can you send me info on how to make a electric longboard and how much it cost and where to get parts with out getting them online? I also want to make a very fast ebike but I think I will.make a eboard first. Thanks and if anyone reads this before Mike Beard please answer this if you can thanks yall!!!!
what if i just want to make the motor, the battery pack, and i already have a board, how much would it cost to make?
Hey! I loved this video and I definitely will try to build it myself. For reference, what tools would I need to build this board?
+ThePixelShark Depends what parts you end up getting. You can end up buying parts and not have to really use any tools. For mine, I had to solder on a few connectors to my VESC, and modify my trucks a tad bit because the motor mount didn't fit 100%. Nothing crazy though. 😊
Hi, I need help, what happen if use 2 motors, for example one with 200kv and other with 400kv, would be powerfull and get I high speed, (lower kv with high kv)
Super interesting topic sir, this is something that has intrigued me for some time I'd love a boosted board but I'm not interested in paying 2k for the real deal. I have been in to r/c's all my life and have recently gotten into a bit of fpv race drones not much but a bit... I was curious to know what size of motors you are using and if you'd ever thought of using the esc and reciever set up from an r/c like an e revo or something?
Would I be able to fit this on a regular skateboard that is around 8"
Yeah
Hey man, I really respect you! We tried at our school to build a motorized scooter but we failed. We had problems with the batteries overheating and stuff. So I really respect you building a board thats even smaller and maybe more complicated, I'm really looking forward to your full overview video!!
Keep it up man, you're awesome
+arne janssens Hey thanks man I appreciate it!
Is there anything stopping you from just adding more batteries? I see most of these longboards people make tend to max at 10 miles. Is there anything preventing being able to add more other than price?
+Thomas Donnelly You can add batteries up to 12s but you can also add batteries in parallel to add to your range
I just got into eboards. Got a Meepo for my first board, now I wanna build one! Sick build bro!
how much did you spend on building it yourself? Did you save enough to make it worth it to not spend a bit more to get a professionally made board?
i have a penny and a classic skateboard what skateboard do you think is better to upgrade ?
i live in a area with many cracks on the floor
+SMILEY .H. I would upgrade to a larger board. The board isn't really what helps you with the cracks. It's bigger wheels. And the bigger the board the less ridiculous big wheels look.
Mike Beard thx
Can you please tell, how can I create an electric board with arduino, or please share any other link
Is there a video of the process of building the board? I want to watch that
Shooting it tomorrow! Shooting for Tuesday release! Keep an eye out :)
How many amps did you set your charger at to charge it
Awesome VID! You can also use a Parallel Charging Board but you'd probably want a more powerful charger to charge faster. What voltage were you using?
+DIYElectricSkateboard.com I have 3 3s batteries in series.
Yeah for a parallel charging board usually their max 6 packs. You can charge 6 packs of the same voltage together. Just get one that fits your end connector. It will still take the same amount of time to charge though unless you have a better charger but it's less work than charging separately. hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbyking-parallel-charging-board-for-6-packs-2-6s-xt-60.html?___store=en_us
+DIYElectricSkateboard.com Oh awesome, I'll look into that 👍🏻
What's the acceleration and braking like for your board?
Hi, I use the same remote as you for my DIY board,. It does sometimes do weird stuff like accelerating while I'm not even touching it, or sudenly breaking and stuff like that. It happens rarely but it does and its kind of scary. Have you got the same kind of problems and if you did, how did you solve them?
Thank You in advance :)
+PRAWON I've had some weirdness with the remote too. Eventually it just went away. Kinda sketchy lol
Mike Beard I've just set on the median filter on the vesc options and now it doesnt happen anymore ;)
+PRAWON so far, I have never had that issue
Do you know how many 18650 cells would be equivalent to your battery setup? I'm basing my board off of yours but making some adjustments regarding the battery and a few other components.
+Luis Persaud I'm not sure, I haven't done much research with the 18650s. I've been thinking about switching to those too 👍🏻
+Mike Beard ah no prob, and I did some research last night and I think 3 in series should be 11.1 v and 2500 mah
since the motor is connected to only wheel , wont it tend to turn ever so slightly to one side?
+tasosdiamantis if nobody is on it yes. But once the weight of a person is added then you can't tell at all ☺️
Do you still have the board and how long did it last?
So what kind of connectors did you use? or did everything just kind of fit together already?
+karaterat27 I had to end up soldering on 3 bullet connectors to my VESC. I also bought a bullet to xt60 connector to attach my batteries to my vesc.
how much did that board cost to make in total and how long did it take
Great board .. Did you use 1 or 2 motors??
What did you use to track your seed and distance? If it was your phone what app was it? thanks mate!
+Italo Foglesong The app is called "Speedometer"
I know this may be a stupid question, but is it possible to add a removable solar panel to charge the batteries
+this my browsing channel I’m sure you could find a solar panel that outputs the proper voltage and plug the charger into it. I wouldn’t suggest riding and charging board at same time. I’m sure it’s possible, just out of my expertise
thanks for the input
Sick video! Channel looking good for only having 800 subs man! Hope you start blowing up!
+OxygenLess haha thanks man! Had 160 two weeks ago 😎
+OxygenLess haha thanks man! Had 160 two weeks ago 😎
Ayyy nice work!
i really liked this video! i think i am also going to built a boosted board myself. hopefully is will work... how much did you spent on the parts?
I spent about $600
When every electric skateboard gets compared to yours, know it's the best. Great job boosted!
Mike Beard Hi, i really like the idea and the whole project in general and im trying to make a similar project. I wanted to know if i could use a different motor controller from the one you used since i find it very expensive(200$). do you reccomend any cheaper ones? Thank you
I have only used the one from enertion, I hear good things about the VESC from Miami Electric Boards. That VESC is only $110
Mike Beard Thank you for your help :)
As somebody know doesn't know a lot about the parts that go into making an electric skateboard, as in the motors, etc., I'm curious, if you were willing to make cuts into the top speed and distance traveled how low do you think you could get the price of the board before it because almost useless due to slow speeds, short ride times, etc.
+Nicholas Catalanotto Well making cuts in price won't effect the top speed and range too much. What happens is you will end up buying worse quality parts and they will end up burning out or breaking faster.
For example, I have 3 batteries in series. If I take out 1, my top speed will got from like 27mph to about 18mph. And that will only save you a $25 battery, but greatly sacrifices the top speed
Thanks for the quick reply! I looked forward to watching your future videos.
+Nicholas Catalanotto Thanks man 😊
Hi! I have some questions: how did you know that all the parts you bought, were compatible? And where did you get all the information on how to build it? Thanks! and great video!
+lautaro cabral I knew just based on the info I found on UA-cam and a DIY electric skateboard forum
Thank man! Great content by the way!
+lautaro cabral Thanks man!
and were did you get the parts u used to make the board
How much was the finished value for you, like including a board and everything else, thinking about building one
+??? ??? Cost me about $600
+??? ??? I just came out with my own line of Electric Skateboards if you're interested
Http://www.mboards.co
Any troubles with torque steer/brake? I'm thinking of building one and alot of people don't talk about torque steer/brake.
+Matturday Haynesworth torque, steering, and brakes all work great 😎
hello i have a broblem i make a homemade electric skateboard i bought a
fvt esc 120A when i was connected the old 18650 battery (old battery )
the motor running but a few minute (old battery )
i bought a new 16850 2800mah samsung but when i was connected the fvt
esc show-off maybe the new battery the A its to high but i dont no
please help me
thanks
but how much did it cost for the board and what parts with for each part if you dont mind
I put a link to the full parts list in the description 👍🏻
The motor mount isn't available on amazon anymore is there anywhere else I can get it?
+snoopbones diyelectricskateboard.com/diy-electric-skateboard-kits-parts/single-bolt-on-motor-mount-only/
hey, do you have reference on a step by step instructions on how to build an electric board?
Filming, Editing, and uploading a guide today! Keep an eye out!
sick! thanks!
hey mike could you tell me how much did this project cost you??
yea i just watched your second video and realized but does it matter which controller you use u have 2 in the description
+Eric Bocchino it doesn't matter. They just vary in price. I prefer the more expensive one but it's really up to you 👍🏻Both perform the same it's just the aesthetics
Sup Mike, so I have 2 7.2 volt batterys, a 60amp esc. If I get a 190kv motor will I still go fast as yours?
+Michael Soriano I have a battery with more than 40 volts. So unfortunately no. You will go extremely slow.
Ok, so basically best option upgrade my batterys first? I noticed on my 270kv motor now it's slower than I expected when I first made the board a few days ago. Thanks man great video! You got a subscriber
+Michael Soriano upgrade your battery. You'll want a 6-10 cell battery
I'm seriously impressed. Awesome Awesome Job. Just came across your video because I've always wanted a boosted board but they were always a shit ton of money.... now I think I'm going to build one similar to yours! Thanks for the upload!
+quinn smith Glad I could help!
I thought this was a how to build a electric skateboard? do you have a step by step build video of this board?
I am 17 and going to college next fall an Chicago. I have slightly above 2k in my account, do you think it's worth it to buy a boosted board?
+HotPockets Depends on wether or not you want to build or buy prebuilt. There are still great prebuilt options out there other than the Boosted. Just depends on how much you'd value an electric skateboard.
To me, especially if you're going to live in the city, it can potentially save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in taxi fairs if you don't have a car 👍🏻
Hey I want to make an esk8 to a school project and I have done already a list of the stuff I'll need... but I steal have my doubts... could you have a look at it please it would be super helpful
Absolutely! Message me on Instagram and I’d be happy to take a look 👍🏻 @mikebeard_official
@@MikeBeard nice tks
Did you already find a good 10s bms or another solution to charge the Board?
+carlo Ggg Yes, new videos coming soon
Mike Beard Is it possible to get the link of 10s bms? I Need one.
Really interesting video, never thought of making an electric skateboard!
Hello man! Your skateboard is incredible! I definitely like it! I wanted an opinion from you: do you think I could fit an engine + batteries in a wave-board? I mean, those kind of boards which have two wheels and that you need to "wiggle" to make them go😂. I'd love make my wave board electric, but first I wanna know what an expert like you thinks about it, 'cause I don't know sh*t about these kind of things
So how much did it cost you to build that board?
How does it charge I want a board so I'm doing as much research as I can.
This build used 3 lipo batteries and a balance charger. I would recommend an all on one lithium ion battery pack at this point.
Have you done any upgrades to your board since this vid? If so, what are they?
I made a video about the new boards I make. It’s filled with all of the upgrades
how do you brake? I you stop pressing the remote, does it slow down?
+Phoebe Nadorp if you stop pressing the remote it just coasts. So eventually it will stop just like a regular longboard. If you press the remote backwards the brakes are applied.
