Hi Friend,
I have tried various hub motors for application on skateboard for air tyres.
I found a 5.5inch hub motor for kick board to be optimal for flat riding.
My weight is about 77kg. Ideal for flat riding.
However, I am making a separate board for the offroad.
On offroad, 4WD is more effective(each normal torque) than strong torque 2WD.
So I tried to mix the belt method and the HUB method to implement a lightweight 4WD.
I also hate the belt method.
So, first of all, I am going to try 4WD as a hub motor for X1 first.
And X1 motor is possible to change tire.
Please refer to pictures.
I tested the 2WD driving last weekend.
The tire size is 8.5 inchs and 10 inches.
On-road and off-road tires were changed and tested.
To mount a this tires on the X1 motor, additional wheel hubs are required.
If the X1 motor is installed with a 8.5-inch on-road tire, it will be possible to ride flat.
