After I have built my first electric skateboard, I find it easier to build another or modify my existing setup. This opens a whole new world of enhanced accessories for me and no doubt that I’ll want to make more for my family and friends or even make money out of my skills and talents.

For me I’ve been making skateboard decks for a long time. I always had a dream to build my very own electric skateboard, so thought to myself “why not make a deck for it, but just add the electronics” let me say I never learned soldering in my life. Had no clue how all that shit worked, but I wanted to. In the past I always said I wanted to build an electric skateboard, never happened. But now it is. I’ve researched and researched plus getting the help by people on forums, explaining or giving soldering tips cuz I was complete ass, I gotten the mechanics of soldering down, and know a lot more about electronics, today was the first time I actually started soldering the parts together, did a good job and was left accomplished at the end of the day. So what can I say, is it hard? If you don’t spend the time and effort to learn, learn, learn and ask for help, it’ll be definitely hard to do. But if your slow and steady, you’ll come out successful. All tho my build isn’t completed yet, it looks everything is on the right track and things that looked hard, seem a lot more easy and doable. I encourage anyone that wants to build their own to go for it, if you got a budget like I do. Search around, ask what’s the best for you. Quality parts = long lasting and not replacing something every week cuz it’s shit, other then that. Enjoy it and learn something new

Why does the circuit board burn out?
