Hello I’m getting a second hand 5’ Kahuna Creation Longboard. I’m looking to give it power. What would you do. All sensible suggestions welcome.

BETTER than a board that’s better than a Lacroix
Seriously, small wheels or bust. Wheelbite is going to be a problem with that deck.

I built a 60" once. I’ve since taken it apart. I have the deck still though…
I recommend limiting top speed to something … very low … like 15mph 24(km/h) and so giving it lots of torque. Single drive probably fine. Use the lowest gear ratio and motor Kv you can find.
If you need some Electric Flywheels PM me
These work well for a cruiser for dorking off on. Not so well for commuting. For commuting they are more similar to an ebike — you have to park them outside
Another problem is these decks have so much flex. Maybe send it to @Sender first

Ahh this was so much fun to do…
I don’t know if that deck would flex or not, but you have so much space for battery cells.
If it does flex, you can get a good quality castor wheel and have it in the middle. Use risers to adjust the height so its the same as your front and rear trucks.

These decks have way too much flex for that unless you give them a carbon fiber belly
it flexes… it’s only held together by a layer of duct tape on the bottom and the wrap lol
