Smaller board
Keeps the weight down, no need for complicated hinges, and should be alot easier to build.

I prefer a board that wont hit the ground when mall grabbed so around 30 inches or less.

Just use a kayak handle, usually works really well.

I’ve contemplated using a kayak handle before but I don’t love the looks of it.
Me neither, but when it comes to being practical it helps.

It heavily depends on the usage, I’m using a single 5065 because I’m a pencil of a human on exclusively flat ground and it’s been geared for torque…but if you got some heft to you on a steep hill of course you’ll need a beefier power train

Ok you made me laugh out loud. We are now lifelong friends and if anyone messes with you they mess with me.

Would a freeboard binding good enough? It should hold the board if you brace but let you go if you stumble

Maybe, working on a swappable 3D printed enclosure/case? 
But I think having a charger on the backpack may make more sense, these cells can take a lot of charging current, they are made with powertools in mind, trade cycle life for fast charging in such a small battery is not that expensive, and if you could do a custom charge curve charging it really fast is an option
Or depending how you use the board a small and compact 2 A charger
Anything too far I would take a bigger and more comfortable board

Thinking about it, it’s not that complicated to implement.
If you prepare for your day then maybe 2 light batteries might have sense. Still thinking of this.
I agree on longer distances, just take the bigger board, but then idle portability is secondary.

Works great so far. tbh the size is kinda nuts, no issues apart from missing bootloader which is a 2 second fix.
