OMG this website is gold. I just went down a serious rabbit hole looking through all his social media pages, it was like a train wreck - I couldn’t stop. My favorite was definitely this number:

Video found here:
Hey guys! Owner and inventor of the solar electric longboard (w/ patent). I’ve been building/converting/repairing EVs from scratch for years; COVID-19 has caused my orders and repair service...

Multiple times that is. And the promo video is a trainwreck

Fark, there’s lots of attitude out there! Worst part of the video is the soundtrack, or maybe it’s the wobbly hop onto the board… Music goes well with the attitude and the clothing section on the website.

Sure solar panels on the board,… riiiiight, actually how many days of roasting in the Vegas sun are required to charge that thing, and offset the extra weight/space consumption of carrying solar panels and converter/ charger at all times. That’s the kind of R&D details you’d want to see on the website, but no…
Instead, we find the Quote of the day: ā€œ-Sharp turns via quad suspensionā€
…a.k.a channel trucks…

the only acceptable caption to this has to be ā€œI managed to make it home after the crash with some ductape I found in a 99p storeā€ :joy:

Yeah chain drive and pulley drilled straight into the wheel. Made sure it went through core. Just playing round with the little wheels I’ve got some clones I’ll put back on. I like chain drive- no snapped belts.

Yeah I am sure Jason Potter’s C&D is on it’s way.

I see nothing obviously wrong with this. This is how most people started 5 years ago when there weren’t so many hub motor prebuilts for sale.

Agreed. Not shitty enough. I’d still ride that.

This your build? Looks a lot like the one I made it if a razor scooter

Not mine but posted for sale locally. More obscure than ā€œShittyā€ diy

It also appears to be a razor scooter

The audacity to say ā€œsharp turnsā€ and then jump on, full lean, and NOT TURN
Like how you gonna sell a board(not that I’ve seen any in stock) with improperly mounted channels? You could afford an entire clothing brand apparently, including 250 dollar shoes that I’m pretty sure are a painted and sharpied pair of old Osiris’s, but a couple risers is too much? And the patent thing… He’s clearly not even making boards, just holding the patent to claim if someone else builds a board that has solar charging, imo. >.> It’s only as funny as it is fucked, really.
