Long overdue getting in the forums, but had a handful of people that I’ve met during demos and working on this project that told me to get in here. I am one of the 2 guys being the 2Swift project. We are dropping a 2 wheel eboard (dealt with enough backlash with calling it a eskateboard ) . Using a hub motor with ferrofluid injection for better thermal performance. We have worked on this project for just about 2 years for R&D and past couple months we have scaled into production and should have boards ready to ship out spring 2023.
Basic Specs: top speed 24mph, 16-21 mile range (tested from a 130lb rider till 220lbs), battery is a 12s3p config using P42A molicel, set for a 4 amp charger, and weighs 31lbs.
I kind of want one of these just because it would look like I was riding a scooter with no handlebars. People in my neighborhood would shit themselves.
The steering bracket looks far more robust than the other 2-wheeled boards I’ve seen, looks really nice.
What about 18s2p instead of 12s3p? I can go 24 easy on a onewheel, if I was going to add a second wheel to my board I’d want it to go faster than that.
This looks cool and all but where is this weight coming from? Just curious since the specs are similar to my current working board but it weighs an extra 10 pounds but I’m willing to bet it is more stable and predictable than my board even though it is missing two wheels I like a pinch of chaos in my esk8
Inline boards are intuitive if you can already skateboard, you’ll be able to get going and maneuver cautiously from the get-go. Getting comfortable with maneuvering takes practice, riding at low speed takes practice. Your legs might get tired faster until you acclimate to the board.
Yea we’ve planned to offer a rolling chassis just for that reason. What would make sense for this? No battery and ESC? Maybe no motor either and allow for free range in specing out the board?
