@IDEA, I wonder what advantages this solution has over drop-down decks. Is it mostly a design thing (it surely looks very nice) or is there more to it?

What’s the deck made of? Also how long is it?

I can design the enclosure but I am not an expert in laminating, so this is a problem for me
I designed the deck and brackets because I wanted an unusual board with a unique look, it is not revolutionary. Brackets have been used for many years in LDP Long Distance, Pushing/Pumping,
but I haven’t seen an electric board with brackets
Advantages:
- You can lower the deck, change the spacing of the trucks by changing the brackets
- Unusual look, I like it
Disadvantages:
- There is less space underneath for batteries and electronics
- Price.
I have a few ideas to realize (unfortunately I don’t have time to do it)
-
Board with folding brackets.
Old preliminary design of such a board
-
Brackets with cushioning. This only makes sense if you have a stiff deck made of carbon fiber or aluminum. I am currently designing a large board with an aluminum deck and shock absorber arms (so I don’t know if I should call them brackets)
Wood core laminated vertical, additionally inside 2 layers of fiberglass and carbon fiber, outer layers are protective foil (topsheet)
Edge is sealed with urethane
Decks are made in Poland, by professionals in this industry

Add fiberglass to the deck! Mine has hundreds of miles on it with brackets! No cracks!

How much room is there under the deck available for an enclosure?
It depends on the size of the wheels

Oh really?
That’s a first
How? Just your weight? 
I’m not exactly sure. But when I took them off the board, one of them was considerably bent.
I’m 85kg
Surprisingly enough, its the one in the foreground that is bent. Not the one in the background. How I managed to bend it downwards, I do not know.

The brackets with one bend look like they could be used with mountain style trucks!
