Thats gotta be some decent strain on the shafts on some hard carving.

That’s sloppier than @brenternet after 3 wine spritzers.

Now 2 of those motors connected to an appropriately sized wheel pulley with a matching free rolling pulley in the back making some of that belt tension…

the belt is pretty fucking nice tho, if it is only driven from the inside it will prob slip like crazy hopefully they have a sprocket on top driving it as well as the inside rollers.

6kw turned out to be a bit to much for this plastic pulley so I crafted a new one with some scrap steel and hand tools.

So much for precision craftsmanship. It looks straight out of the Flintstones :rofl:

Despite looking like trash it seems to work fine.

10 x 4 inchers from a scooter website: https://www.monsterscooterparts.com/4-10-3-50-4-pneumatic-scooter-tire-with-q110-tread.html

They’re cheap but they last forever.

Looks like you won’t be going very fast, with all that wobble.

They are pretty stable for 30mph cruising but i wouldn’t dare go any faster without properly balancing them.

You’ve got ankles of steel king, 34+mph is wicked on slightly unbalanced tires and your tires look like ovals.

It was quite a rough ride until I installed a steering damper that seems to compensate for the poorly balanced tires.

My first true esk8 lesson is that just because you can build your own enclosure doesn’t mean you should. My DIY held up for quite a while till it starter rattling and loosing bolts.

RIP my first esk8 build :frowning:
