I am making a electric skateboard and I need some professional opinion before I hit the purchase button



I am running to flip sky motors 63100 190kv

If you’re already spending over $1,000, I’d check out some diy prebuilts for sale here. That battery is a real dice roll when the battery should be the most secure part of your build, followed by the esc. Flipsky has come a long way but are still pretty meh.

If you’re light weight and not trying to push much speed/hard terrain, this could work out for you but I think you could find better from someone moving up from 12s here.

I’ve been here a while, but apparently I’m not paying attention.

Best deal on a prebuilt here is @ARCTIC’s magnetic. I genuinely can’t believe that hasn’t sold already: [WTS-US] SKP Magnetic PART OUT - #15 by ARCTIC

$1000
Next best deal is @DeadLightning’s emtb. Super light weight jump board. I sold a much worse specd light weight board for similar. This should be gone. If dirt games get going this year, this will be gone in no time: WTS [US] III EMPRESS: $1000 | Jump Board for Sale | Apex Airs/Chain Drive/Haero | 12S2P | 6384 140kv | 8" Rockstars

$600
Someone posted a loaded hub build yesterday that would be a dreamy street cruiser: Bustin Sportster - 12s3p 25s - Loaded Unlimited Hubs - Unity - #2 by AlexB

$1500
This 12s8p 3 link Evo looks tasty: [US] Evo 40 with SRB 3 links 12s8p. A bit over priced in my opinion just because everyone wants higher voltage but 12s is plenty fast and that’s a great platform and big battery for good range.

$1400
12s8p Flux from @KaramQ has lots of bells and whistles (helicals, extra hubs, cool dude) needs to move: Flux 12s8p P42a

$500
This short board is super clean and would be a fantastic campus commuter or last mile board. Stupid cheap too. I would pick this up if I didn’t have a really similar setup already: WTS Complete 10s3P Subsonic Carvon Commuter build - #17 by Kylem21

$1300
Evo MK1 I don’t know much about but looks like a nice enough board to be an option: Evo MK1 Gear Drive-$1300 US-FL

Goddamn that looks like a flux deck, I don’t think I’ve really looked hard at these decks before
