It needs to be under this fire safety certification standard called UL-2272. In this case, you send in your board/device to be under certain tests. Water, drop, vibration, impact tests etc.
Now the catch is, it costs roughly $30,000 to certify a model, and you need to design your device to it’s standards, not the other way round. So only corporations can afford to certify their models. Any average joe like me who designed/made their own board can’t certify it, well unless i have 30k to fork out. Such is life…
Also, currently in Singapore, scooters and ebikes need to be registered and have their speed limits capped to 25km. But of course a good chunk will ride their illegal 1000v scooters that go 9000km/h when the sky gets dark.
Funnily enough, only devices that have a motor and a handle need to be registered.
So EUCs, Hoverboards, esk8s, and onewheels don’t have to be registered since i guess it’s deemed ‘you got no handle so you can’t go fast’
But the big banhammer will come July 2020, when that UL-2272 requirement kicks in
@Linny sorry for these laws, but the result will be amazing
For the remote, the smallest one I can think of is a Nunchuck modded with a Arduino and NRF24 radio, I’ve used one, and it you paint it black it will disappear in our hand
Another way you could do is cut a normal deck, and use foam to mold a bottom curvature to look like the Inboard, and then use glass or carbon fiber to cover it
And about the hubs, have you tried to find some Mellow hubs? They are the stealthiest ones I’ve seen so far
True, Mellow hubs do look as close as normal longboard wheels get. However i’ve already backed the set for the hummies and payment has been made so i’ll use it eventually. Have people used Mellow hubs only on a VESC and external battery?
