I hadn’t thought of that. The idea is cool but for a light and short board
In the case of the Raptor it made sense but my boards with brackets are 100 to 120cm long.
In addition, usually everyone wants the greatest possible range so batteries are getting bigger and bigger, a board that weighs more than 12 kg is not suitable for carrying in this way
sounds like you need some more deadlifts and biceps curls My main board is 20-25kg and I have to carry that motherfucker to get it it inside IMO a handle is better then no handle, I understand your reasoning tho. Maybe a super special order if I ever pull the trigger on one?
Could also serve as a cool grabhandle for hard curves.
You are probably right but this type of grab bars has another disadvantage.
The handle must be mounted on the center of gravity of the board, and this is not unambiguous, because it depends on the position and weight of many elements
Battery is usually heavier than the ESC in the back, but then the drivetrain cancels that out. I think you have enough handle room there for it to match the center of mass
I designed these brackets for PKP trucks, that’s why the brackets have a 35 degree angle, later I designed the base plate and RKP hangers to match the same brackets
I use a 10mm axle
This is the most universal size because it allows you to mount any wheels, both longboard wheels with a 22mm bearing socket and mountainboard wheels with a 28mm bearing socket
For wheels with 22mm bearing seats we use 6900 bearings. For wheels with 28mm bearing seats we use 16100 bearings
@IDEA Thank you for your help with the custom brackets, happy that you sell them now as a product.
I had to take your deck and chop it a little more on the CNC so it fit the ETOXX concave pads and lights, but this deck is awesome! love the quality so much
