Well, I’d still put losing 5 lbs of body weight as the easiest way to reduce weight. Don’t bring a backpack. Buy a lighter helmet, minimal pads. But as for the board, we can definitely do more to compare weights during purchasing. Almost no one (except @moon), seems to mention or care much about component weights. If the community values weight as a purchasing criteria, we’ll see more manufacturers taking that variable into account.
My weight analysis:
Actively compare energy density of battery options before purchase. Compare wheel weights. Compare deck weights.
Some interesting findings from my thread:
the Haero Bro is significantly lighter than similar Trampa decks
Trampa has the lightest pneu hubs
Tire size matters greatly (of course)
Moon’s gear drive is lighter than most belt drive systems & other gear drives
We generally way oversize our motors, which is a huge source of weight - 6354s should be the default for most people
Leave the BMS off the board entirely, save ~100g. Keep it at home attached to the charger.
