So this popped up in my recommendations today. Had to click, because I wanted to see just how cheap he was going to build for $60.
Hoo boy, I would never wanna ride this thing.

That everything! The three screws into the wheel… the wobble when he first spikes the motor… yikes all around.

Holy shit that’s 
I don’t think that board is happy at all…the weak ass components and the 3 amp rated wires/joints, he’s not making it to the end of the battery voltage before that lets out the magic smoke

He goes like 4km/hr and that motor sounds like a battery drill

Looks slow AF. The more he worked on the speed controller the more I laughed

huh… well I mean it’s kinda nifty how he made that non-wireless remote! While it’s below my standards it’s pretty cool DIY none-the-less! I guess it’s acceptable for going 5mph

haha yeah Hoyt had better work on an even cheaper version of the puck because this dude has got the wooden “remote” design all figured out.
Tbh I think that thing could climb a pretty serious hill, I would have liked to see that attempted. The torque was intense! (dat belt skip)

Man, all that effort, only to go slower than a push board 
Pretty commendable though that he made it work for so cheap. Would love to see if 100$ produces something that’s actually practical.

Problem is, that these are the videos new people watch and then imagine esk8s are cheap.

How is that a problem, anyone taking that video seriously is in a whole other world of problems.

idk what he was thinking but for 60$ thats a cool idea might be cheaper and safer to borrow a large dog or enslave some squrriels though.

Enslaved squirrels on tiny leashes would be super badass

You need this:
It does make the build even cheaper.

the pure amount of squrriels needed makes squrriels quit inefficent sadly

Could have at least given himself some more length to that remote, he waves hi with the wrong hand one time and its asphalt lol
Then again that speed he could just walk it out
