- PARTS I USED FOR THIS BUILD: geni.us/tHgNyX
Today I tackle a much requested project. Many of you guys have been asking me to make a DIY Electric Penny Board. Today I do just that. A perfect DIY electric skateboard project for budget builds and beginners. Very easy to put together. I've built a ton of DIY Boosted Boards but this one is much different. Super small and very convenient.

What video should I make next? Let me know :)
Not yet but want to
Is double the range possible with more parallel connections on your battery setup? @mike
Make an electric mountain board!!
Please make a full tutorial making a electric longboard like from begining to end and show us how to make an Mboard with a drop through deck also do not speed up the video I am begging you please. P.S. if I sound desperate it is because I really would apreciate it and need it. Thanks!!!
Start making vlogs with your Mboards board and you will be famous like casey
Pretty cool build man! 😎
Thanks for watching man 😎
Okay, so this is sick! Now I'm thinking of doing this on my current coffin board after I make my next one, definitely need an electric board for when I don't want to push
Great video, love all the detail. Nice work!
Thanks man 😎
Thank you! Great Tutorial, definitely going to build one myself. One questions though, how would you make a budget enclosure without a vacuum sealer?
Why are you not selling pre built boards anymore?
Really nice video and nice work! I’m curious what the estimated range and top speed is on the board? I’ve been really looking for a light small electric board lately.
I love this build and it looks easy to replace the battery and wish I had a electric skateboard like this its perfect I am going to try save up
This was a legit helpful and good video, nice camera quality as well.
Thanks for watching 🤙🏻
would you be willing to sell this enclosure?
Thanks so much. Really. Gives me confidence to try a build
THANKS for fulfilling OUR request!
Penny size electric skateboard would be grabbed on my hands soon xD
Great videos man! You're builds are unreal. I was wondering if you've done any builds with a Boosted Board battery? I just got an extended range battery for my Boosted Board and wanted to connect my old original battery to a smaller board. Any idea if this is possible or how I would go about doing this? Thanks!
That is soooo sick!! Thank you for this!!
Nice work mike. I just got one question. Do you have the enclosure for the batteries for the penny board on your website? I don't really have the tools to make my own enclosure.
Hey, I'm wondering what kind of failsafe features the remote you've included has. I've always made my own remotes since I didn't trust off the shelf solutions, hence why i'm asking. Thanks!
can you try to build an encloser and system for a traditional penny board with the plastic deck? the one with the bottom that has bumps on it.
Currently building your first model:) might build this one for my younger brother. Great vid!
I made my own normal sized electric longboard but since it’s very flexible, the case attached in the bottom is slowly coming off. I have used screws to keep it in place. What could I possible do to fix it?
I would honestly switch decks. That’s one of the downsides to flexible decks
hey do you still sell the MBoard as a whole customisable board on your website? im really not that great at working with elektronics and such (even though your totorials are super awsome) so the option to buy a board with all the specs i want in it seems really really interesting to me.
This is a great video! I just had a question...can this board go uphills?
this is good. thanks for posting.
Has anyone worked out a way to make battery packs easier to swap out?
Thanks for the video. I didn't know about vacuum forming before. Have a good day
When you said cheep I was thinking like $150. The esc is $110
I know that kind of sucks but honestly any board that is that cheap will only get you like 10 (very slow and short) uses I’m speaking from personal experience.
Like a good ESC usually cost anywhere between $69-$100
These really are the cheapest options for an electric skateboard to be used by an adult it sucks though.
@@Ambroses.Kittens I built my own with a $50 ESP, So no these prices are not all right. You can even find cheaper than that on Aliexpress. I believe he has a partnership with Mboard. That is why this is that expensive
it will be cheap if you take the risk buying parts from china. i tried a few searches after watching this video. it cost around $170 for the kit
@@Chinhnguyen0497 No bro I have built many last years. And where you have to be careful is when buying batteries from china. I advice you to build your own. But you must know that these parts he is showing such as the ESP. They are from China 😂, I can even give you the link to the real china seller.
I own a loud board 3.0. It's also a 2 hub motor configuration but so much quieter, almost dead silence. Can you configure your ESC to make it run on a different mode, so that you don't hear that speeding up / brake noise?
Very helpful! Good work!
This video is the only video that helped me I'm going to make one now haha thank u
I’m glad it helped man!
Are there any good ESC's for 4 motors? I'm looking in to building my own electric mountain board some day and I want each tire to have a motor.
hey, does this setup handle hills well? Im thinking of making it but where I live has a lot of steep hills.
can we use this tutorial as a step by step tutorial for an electric longboard as well?
This is helpful dude! Thanks!
Im buying an entire kit from your site man I really trust your judgement on parts. I can't wait for the payment to go through im super siked about these kinds of set ups.
Thank you so much for the support man. It means a ton!
Hey Mike, sorry this should be my last question. What plastic did you use for the enclosure and where can I find it. Thank You!
~Ethan
Sweet board. I was wondering though:
1: Are you able to skate around on that board with the motor off?
2: Is the motor moving two wheels or does it move all four wheels? I was wondering if you can make the motor move all of the four wheels or why move just the two wheels?
Could you do a double pulley set up still using the ESC?
You are just the best man!! Im gonna set it up in my penny
Daniel Borro did you make it?
Hi mike just wondering is this board powerful enough to get up hills ?
How does the balancing (when charging) of the battery cells works with that setup? Can't see a balancing circuit included there..
Keen to combine the slimmer battery at MBoards with a 121c Rover deck. Any suggestions for a DIY vacuum forming machine and material?
Hi! I've been watching some of your first longboard videos and that got me wondering, why doesn't this board requiere a battery management circuitry, and how do you charge the battery?
The battery in this board and the ones he sells do have a battery management system, and they come with a charger
How are tires doing on these hub motors doing after some time? Im asking because i want to make AWD skateboard using this motors but my only concern is these PU tires. Can you change them ?
can i use the enclosure that you have on your site for this board? Thanks
How is the accelerating and braking like? These two are pretty important factors. A good board doesn't only mean it can run fast but also lot more considerations to provide a safe and comfortable experience. And I think this built also cost as much as a mature electric board on the market. The parts are twice of the after market price, way to expensive.
Hey Mike, totally new to this... what's an ESC? How much did this build cost? thanks
Question Mike, what's the top speed and approximate range?
Does the reverse mode on the controller act as a break? If not do you know anyways to apply a break to the board
You make the best electric skateboard videos of all youtube :).
I wish my country had all the parts or at least let me buy everything without custom problems ...
greetings from Argentina :)
Thank you so much!
On your MBoards website you sell a Dual Belt Drive 1400W 5055 Motor Kit. Would this kit work well with the Dual Belt Driven Motor ESC that is also sold on your website? How fast would it go with 2x 5000mAh 5S 30C lipo batteries? I'm just looking to build something affordable.
the esc that you use, can you use it for just one motor (belt motor)
Cool board!
Thanks man 😎
Could someone please advise on what controller would be best for a scorpion 4225-550kv? Thanks
Thanks for the video! Was wondering, (maybe i missed his info) a) how long the battery would last and b) what weight you recommend for decent speed/torque with this setup.
I estimate the range to be about 7-10 Miles.
I weigh 160lbs and it goes pretty quick. I’m sure someone heavier than I am would be just fine on it 👍🏻
Fantastic, thank you for the fast reply! Keep up the good work!
Do they have a smart ESC for just a regular pulley motor? So I would not have to use the power switch and also get the remote at the same time? That would make it so much easier for my build
Yes, there is a belt motor option on the website 👍🏻
Just ordered mine!
iowahockey82 how long did shipping take
Hey Mike do you think I should invest my money in recreating this build or am I better of buying the new boosted board mini s? I would be using it as my main transportation in college so it would have to be pretty reliable. Thanks!
Both options will be great for getting around campus. The Boosted Board Mini ships in 8-10 weeks so if you are willing to wait it is a good option. If you want a board in the next 2 weeks or so then DIY might be the way to go
Would the 10s3p battery that you sell also work for this board and would there be any other issues if I used that battery?
It would work :) just be sure to measure your deck and compare to the dimensions of the battery to be sure it will fit under the deck. The batteries are identical in voltage, the 10s3p just has a higher capacity so it will work just the same with all of the other electronics.
Top speed? Does it compete with the boosted mini?
Sick build.
Thanks man 😎
Your vacuum case seems nice what material is it made of? Great build btw😃
Made from Kydex 👍🏻
Question Mike. When I order this ESC on your site are you shipping to me from USA? Or are you drop shipping from China?
I have some experience with this esc and the problem is I don’t want to wait 3 weeks to get parts!
We ship out of the US. Currently waiting for more inventory now. Tons coming in next week 👍🏻
If I build by own battery (I have 20 cells of sony VTC4 and a 10S 45A BMS) and already have a 36V charger and a deck with truck and wheels. How much would it cost for the dual hub on trucks, ESC and remote ???
If I’m going to use it 7 inch trucks with with 83 mm wheels with the same deck is going to be to big for your opinion?
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)
Hey there! what plastic material did you use for the vacuumed formed case?
Kydex
If I buy the battery off of your site does it come with everything needed to recharge it??
the board you're using is a little wider then a typical pennyboard, do you think it'll still fit or nah?
Really cool board, I'm making an electric longboard right now
Yo mike I noticed a lot of people using power drill batteries. Would the motor be able to work with the power drill batteries? Let’s assume all the connectors are good to go
hey can i please get the link for whatever u have used in this vedio,especially for those hub n esc !!! ...btw this vedio is awesome ,loved the way it is .... :))
All links are in the description 👍🏻
Nice video!
Can you use this build with the actual 22’ penny board (penny Australia) or is it not possible? The wooden board you used in this video is a few inches more.
It’s possible. You just have to try a little harder to get everything mounted underneath 👍🏻
I really really want some boards that are like this! May I know how fast and far this can get? I own a koowheel mini which is super slow like 9mph tops since it is single hub, but I really love the shape and weight of my board which is exactly the same as shown in this video because I commute to train station everyday and longboard are just too big and heavy for me to carry/put behind my bag! Do you have any idea how to upgrade my koowheel mini and make it dual hub to be faster?
I’d say this does at least 20mph. And range of 7-10 Miles
Hey Mike! The esc and the battery I ordered do not connect together properly even after I bought the xt-90 connectors to go along with it. is there something I am doing wrong?
Hmm, if you attached the XT-90 connectors I’m not sure why the XT-90s wouldn’t fit together.
Shoot us an email: support@mboards.co if you still can’t figure it out 👍🏻
We are always down to help.
Would these suppliees work on a regular board?
Where can I find ESC and where can I get the wheels and the battery if you don't mind telling me
Would you recommend using this smart ESC on a 6374 motor, or is it better to go with a VESC from diyelectricskateboard.com?
My buying options are rather limited due to shipping to South Africa.
Both would work. Just depends on if you want to program it or not. If you want to program it the Vesc is better
I don't necessarily want to program it, but I've heard a lot of stories about these smarts ECS's limiting the current. This is for a longboard build and I need to go up some rather steep hills in my area.
Esc is rated for 50a continuous and 120a peak just like VESC. But is is possible. Not sure how to test it
Banger67 He put a link in the description to all the parts he used, but you could also get it one eBay. Just search 'electric skateboard esc' remember to specify between hub and pulley at the checkout.
Personally, I would recommend the VESC. You will want the available customization. Especially if you are going at higher speeds, it will be worth it. If you are able, I highly recommend it.
Tell me the link from where i can buy the battery for dual hub motors
do you have any idea of like a $100 to $150 battery alternative cause $250 is a bit much for me
Hey Mike! I'm trying to build the same board as you but I was wondering about the website. Would the parts be covered and be able to be returned and does the website phone number work? This is a really cool video and it has inspired me to build my own. Hopefully you see this comment and can answer my questions. Keep up the good work!
~Ethan
Hi! We do accept returns as long as they come back in New Condition 👍🏻 And yes our phone number does work although it’s just a text line.
Question here:
Hey dude this is amazing!! I was looking for something like this for a while. But to make it more “budget” can I use the Turnigy 5000mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack batteries? What’s the pros and cons of those?
Keep up doing this awesome work!! Cheers!
Alexandre Albergaria it works I have it on my skate bored 😎
this was built with a 10s pack which is 36 volts. so a 3s pack would be less than a third of that ..
i think the esc and the motors would maybe not work on such low voltage?
What material did u use for the enclosure
Does anyone know if this board is at all water resistant? If so, how much water would it be able to go through and survive?
How did u make your vacuum former?
Thank you! I'm about to order the parts but need to know if it comes with the front truck and wheels?
Yes the front truck and wheels are included 😎
Mike Beard anyway to upgrade the hub motors? like 1000 Watts each?
On this smaller size that’s about how powerful they get. We do have larger hub motors available that are more powerful.
I found that these smaller hub motors were actually surprisingly powerful. They climbed quite a few hills no problem.
How is the range? Also how do u charge it
currently building my board with the same parts and wire set up and the brakes work but it doesn’t accelerate what am I doing wrong?
Hey Mike! Would the board work as good with a 7s2p battery ? what would be the differences ?
The difference would only be the speed 👍🏻 Just a little slower. Should still hit 18mph or so
Tx ! What if I just wire 3 Turnigy 5000mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack together?
How do I use Lipos for this build? Thanks
I have been trying to find a skateboard like this for like EVER. I am so glad you made this video and at such a high quality of video. TLDR: Thank you for making this amazing video.
Thank you so much for watching 😊
Darius Carter Check out the Blink Lite
goes like 10mph tho lol
Do you think if I took all the electronics of this board and put it on a regular sized board it would perform decently?
Yeah I’m sure it would perform well. Although you might want to consider the larger hub motors. It would look nicer on a larger board for sure.
What is the truck size because I want to use my own deck buy idk if it will fit
is there a cheaper battery option
Would you sell that setup or maybe complete boards
I built it, it's cool, the wheels are wearing out, where do I get new ones?
How you made this enclosure?
How do you charger your battery?
Can i really use 500w current for 350w dual hub motors
would this build still work if applied to a longboard? sorry if its a stupid question
Yes this build would be great no matter the deck size 👍🏻
thanks man you are the best bro
I ordered everything used in this video but can’t seem to get it to start! Help?!?
