idk if ALL the wheels need to be hubs but that would be fun
Board hubs are no good if they’re squared off. If you know any hub motors that fit in a 70mm x 25mm cylinder, it’s hypothetically DIYable.

I think you can’t make a wrong turn with that deck, all the options are good.
I think electric blades would be fun as low power thane build for chill cruising, cuz the speed wobble gets real over ~20mph on most street skates. If i was going for speed I’d want 6 or 8 inch pneumatic skis like these

someone was talking about electrifying thoe a while ago and thatd be wild. they have more room, too, you could maybe put a little belt drive… or oh my god an m1 drive!!!
also, yes, thats exactly the problem im having, everything ive thought of will look good but none stand out in particular >.<

GD is superior, but the M1 would stick the motor out the side of the skate. Belts for now, i think. Since you’d probably want the motor centralized and behind/over the rear wheel

It’d also be cool if you could make the border look like an actual coffin and then the design in the middle. The wood you’re using would look really good like that.

damn I’ve been wanting another tat for a while… mind if I steal this design and alter it a bit and put it on my skin?
ive got the edges all figured out, im thinking im gonna do one last run around the edge with raw black stain, then work it inwards just a little with wet cloth. the top side of the deck, im going to tint some silvertip red, and add silver ash mica powder for a bit of shiny black throughout. then, two layers of black medium frit around the edges, and black quartz sand working in a bit on the bottom and top of everything, cuz its crazy shiny.
im probably getting more copies of this deck eventually, already working on an updated mountainboard version and eventually reworking that back into a street board.
@tech.shit it was a free resource on my software, i didnt even alter it, have at it xD
