This is the my FoxTrot’s street variant sister, or possibly alter ego…same electronics and different everything else! As previously stated in the FoxTrot build, the enclosure and motors will be transferable between the two frames.
So what makes Pandora different? She’s meant for SPEED
The deck comes from my second ever board, it’s a Minority downhill 40" drop deck. Not spectacular quality but certainly good enough for me, I absolutely love the shape of the deck.
The trucks were Paris II 195mm with the old dickyho short mounts, but I’ve upgraded to some heavily used TorqueBoards 218mm with the reverse mounts, there was just enough room for the motors on the Paris but having better mounts and more stable trucks never hurt. Most likely I’ll use the TB in the back and the Paris in the front, I really like the carve on the Paris.
Wheels are going to be 90mm ABEC 11 SuperFly and 100mm MBS AT. I’ll probably keep the ABECs on for the smooth ride but some tougher wheels for grass is nice. They will be running 15:36 and 15:44 respectively, which should put me at speeds of 34 mph to 24 and mph on ABEC and 31 mph to 22 mph on the MBS. The goal was to max above 30 mph, have a nominal over the 25 mph speed limit for neighborhoods and campuses, and a minimum speed above a Boosted.
Instead of the crash bar on the front, this will have a pair of bike lights and a kayak handle on the side since it should be closer to 22 lbs. It will be 42" end to end so adding length would be a big no.
If I swap the wheel pulleys, I can push 38 mph with 15:36 on the 100mm wheels, but I doubt I ever will
As always, comments and suggestions are very welcome!
