If someone has a Cnc and some spare aluminium, I can provide the files and my time :grin:
IDEA already rejected the… Idea… but there must be someone rich and crazy enough to collaborate on this :rofl:

I would stay away from that. Having one Chinese deathtrap kit I can with confidence say that you will spend more time fixing it and never getting the results you want. Bad bearings, thin aluminum parts, overall bad design of things, obvious design copies of other boards on the market with less material and thought are just many of things you will encounter. They also have tendency to try to stay ahead of the curve with apps etc. But the implementation is horrible and you will get salty taste in your mouth afterwards, while you will endlessly try to remove it by spending more money on parts, eventually replacing almost everything. On my board, soon enough, only original thing will be charging port, trucks and battery case.

It seriously looks reaaaally cool. I would love to ride it simply to see how that independent-ish suspension feels.

If you saw portable electric vehicle’s post about it, some of the clips in there were really awesome. I still hate their large wheels, but with the smaller thick tire ones, it looks awesome.

Edit: Lol realized you posted his vid

I wonder if they improvement the maintenance part of things. The last time I heard of bajaboards, they got lot of flack for having to disassemble Almost entire drive train just to service a belt, and their were not particularly reliable. Other than that their designs have looked superior above everything else.

Compared to this it might be alright

They said they would consider making and selling, as well as send the design to people to make themselves.
