How long is your board? Don’t bother booking sports luggage. Just book regular luggage and they will just tell you to check-in the oversized baggage drop. Fuck paying extra. I was travelling with a trampa deck and a 100cm longboard. haha
oh yeah I meant to ask about that. I was being paranoid reading the terms of service for ryanair and a few others, they basically state the basic “no lithium in checked bags” - fine. But they also add that skateboards or whatever are allowed in checked bags, never in hand luggage, and that no machine that can move itself is allowed at all even in checked bags. What I had been planning was just remove the motors + mounts and put them in my carry on with the lipos, and put the board in my regular checked bag.
It’s ~90cm so I think my normal suitcase would work for a checked bag, I had no intention of pay the sports luggage thing though
yeah I reckon disassembly will just be easier for fitting clothes around it if nothing else, and I’ll need to work out what I’m doing with enclosure dimensions as well
What do you think about getting one of those plastic cars like in grocery stores then making a trailer out of that? Or you could make an actual small model Car thing and come to think of it you could even let the kids steer it if it has its own drive and you were just tethered for safety.
I mean it would basically be a low powered go kart attached to the back of your board using one of those retractable dog leashes, so your kid doesn’t take an unexpected turn behind you. The you just cruise around town. Run errands etc.
I still have a spare enclosure that I was hoping to find a home for, fingers crossed I can find someone wants this one, or wants me to jazz up the other one in their own colours.
