do you have a build thread for your build?

Yeah, look here

I need to update the specs a bit

Small battery and charge daily, you’ll need good cells for discharge though, and have a range extender pack you can plug in.

Locate everything in the middle on top including the ESC, since phase lead length doesn’t matter.

On top like most battery enclosures?

Makes sense for ease of setup and wiring, as well as longevity, plus what’s better than being to use your commuter as a jumping board as well? It is an MTB you know.

I will be resurrecting my first build again, but with a Unity in the middle on the board, and @NoWind gas pedals for those days that I just want a careless jumper build.

I broke a belt escorting my stock evolve buddy home. I could live with 3 motors if I needed.

Also, I do not believe the speeds here. That has to be the lone unbelted motor pissing in the San Diego wind.

But I was moving tho.

Yesterday I had to go to the office to pay at least 50% of wage to workers, even though we are not working or receiving any income on the shop.

Good on you, bro. One of my favourite phrases goes something like this:

“Sometimes the hard thing and the right thing are the same thing.”

One more, this time mostly done on the street, just a bit of dirt and grass

Consumption stayed roughly the same, I don’t how you guys get it so bad, maybe because I don’t ride as fast

Went out to the local BMX park today. It was PACKED. The high today was 80 F and it was gorgeous so that makes sense.

I wanted to bust out the selfie stick for some video but my shame got the best of me :sweat_smile: Stuck to helmet cam instead.

Only one small spill all day and no bandaids required.

1st ride after 4 days, waaaaay too long of a break. Also 1st ride with my new full face helmet, shit inspires confidence I could feel, and apparently higher average speeds too. FWIW that’s about as fast as my board can go currently.
