As the restrictions kick up and public perception of electric vehicles start to get more ugly, I am dedicating my commuters to be either smaller or more sleek, to draw less attention.
@Luke came through and offered me a defected deck, just needs some work. Thanks once again!
To work! First I gotta fiberglass the holes and fill them up. More to come soon.
Parts wise I have not decided, but it will definitely be a hub motor build with everything hidden, no wires, no buttons, no nothing. Follow me on this journey.
Nice I kept most of the wood look of my MOV-E shortboard but this bedliner stuff looks cool AFAIR @Luke made the board by using multiple veneer sheets of birch and another tree, pressed them in the basic shape and then CNCd the hell out of it. In the end the final veneers were applied like you said.
Yep, clear coat was applied also, perhaps the camera didn’t capture it too well, but it looked pretty meh in person as well, i’ll revisit this paint sometime in the future…
It’s a brand called Samurai paint, a brand in Malaysia. It might be tricky to find in the US, so you might want to try a brand from Rustoleum, or ask what @DerelictRobot uses on his Prototipo.
Let me just go on record by saying that whatever @Linny did looks a lot better than my method. I just used some 3M truck bed liner that smells of cancer.
