It is a lot of fun to ride and has plenty of power to get me around. I didn’t specifically choose this deck. It was a cheapo deck I got from some guy in the city. Now I like to press my own deck to suit my needs. Most importantly I need more ground clearance (motor mounts to ground) and since there are a hell of a lot of cracks in the roads and cobblestone (uff) I need to cross I guess it’s time to go for some bigger wheels.
Atm I’m riding Orangatang Kegels 83mm. On smooth pavement they are great but other than that it is just
I’m at the draw board scratching my head about how to lay out the profile of the deck. What is the minimum the cut out need to be dimension wise in order to fit 125-150x50 wheels on standard caliber II 50 (180mm hangar) to avoid wheel bite? Do I even need such big wheels? Pneumatics maybe? I was looking for some profiles as reference and there are pictures of many many decks out there, no actual dimensions.
Oh, is there an advisable source for wheels in or around germany?
First of all, sweet build man, I love the enclosure❤️
Second, for a commuter, I would use airless tires. Trampa gummies and dickyho airless come to mind. I’m constanly pulling nails and staples from my @dickyho airless wheels, many times I don’t even notice untill I get there. Air filled tires would not have gotten me to work.
Regarding how to make them fit: the wheels are probably too big to fit on that deck without some major surgery. The deck I’m using with dickyho 145mm airless has big wheel cutouts that are bare minimum as I still get a touch of wheel bite if I try ( I would say this is acceptable since I have plenty of clearance riding normally). I love my dickyho airless wheels. They are smooth, comfortable and durable. A+ in my book
I’m attaching a pic to help you see how much clearance is required. I’m rocking a mix of BN200 and TB218 trucks on this setup, so calibers would require even more cutting.
Personally, I think you’ll be better off with a different deck, but I really like what you put together here, so I would start a whole new build
Thanks a lot, your words make this guy happy was my very first attempt on an enclosure. I was ghetto bagging it. No bleeder, no breather, just lots of hope it worked ok and I learned a lot. The next one will be far better.
This is what I came out with. Assuming a max steering angle of 10° on 125mm wheels and 180mm hangar would need a cutout length of at least 160mm tip to shoulder. Is this reasonable? The outline is still work in progress and far from pretty
What is that box on the left? Some Type of fuse maybe?
Haha, I was planning on giving it a paintjob but naw. I like it as well Only bad thing about it, at least for germany - all the LEDs light up the street bright as hell. Especially while throttling. Not that stealthy…
What concerns me even more about it are all the bike cops popping up and patroling the streets during the last couple of weeks. In my city they introduced e-scooters for rent 2 month ago. Now it seems like they reinforced
