Yes! Itās was super duper easy to do!
I bought the strip of leather on Etsy, and didnāt realize it came all the way from Romania (Iām in CA) Haha!
The piece cost less than 20 bucks shipped. I used loctite contact spray adhesive. Covered both surfaces with the spray adhesive and let dry 10 minutes before slowly rolling the leather over the enclose and working the contours with my fingers. Trimmed the leather with about an inch of over hang and folded it over the rim. And laid my foam liner around the bottom edge and voila !

Iām in love with this thing so far, 55cm long and under 5kg. Itās using a 10s2p 30Q until I can make the 10s1p 40T and enclosure combo for it. Itās got a lot of kick for a single 5065
Would you like a unicycle sir

How many people do you think are taking their mountainboards to the grocery store as opposed to offroading?
You donāt drive your mini van to the strip club do you?

I take my Bajaboard to get fresh milk from the dairy farmer.
Have to build a larger battery for the board to get to my grocery store.

Do you offroad to get there?
Would you prefer a small urethane board with a huge battery to commute there?
Not saying it canāt be doneā¦ I ride my mtb to the gym and to pick up pizza and beer lol
I can get there on paved roads.
But not all of them are in good conditions so I would need an AT board.
But sometimes I decide to make a big loop offroad through the black forest
To get to the other farmer for ham and cheese I have to ride through the village or go 8 miles offroad.
As eSk8 is not legal here in Germany I prefer the offroad track.
Good Morning from LA
