A GreenWorks 40V 4AH battery is capable of pushing 40A . With a range of about 10km, and the ability to carry spares, that is more than decent for a urethane single drive light cruiser. Can be mounted over the rear truck baseplate.

40V on the KV of this motor will result in a pretty low top speed is my concern
Maybe that would be a good thing…
So I made a 1.8m long phase wire connector cable
Went on a longer ride, was kinda okay, wish I had a support for it because it was a bit too long and kept slipping out of my back-pack. Then I got too confident on the way home, and bombed a hill I usually do on this board. But wouldn’t you know – downhill those 20 motor amps can achieve a way higher speed than on flat! I was going between 35 and 40km/h I reckon, in a tuck pose. Realized “hey, these trucks are a bit too twitchy and I really need to hold my weight forward to not die right now. I should probably slow down”
So I let go of the throttle, and a split second later I was flying. Board instantly shot under my feet, I guess because of the sudden drag in one wheel. Board flew in a ditch unharmed it seems, I landed on my left side as usual. I was wearing only a helmet, because this was supposed to be a chill ride on a chill board.
Bloody pictures in this thread:
I’m not sure how I got by so lightly considering the crash was probably the biggest I’ve had so far. The phase wire cable unplugged nicely it seems, only damaged it a little while sliding. Long pants definitely saved my bottom side, and somehow my hands are pretty alright despite not wearing gloves. Arms hurt though, kinda stupid being injured when you have a knox urbane pro shirt hanging in your closet

On the bright side, my 6km trip wasted only 0.6 battery volts, so I reckon I can probably get a good 100km of range out of this setup

why didn’t you just go with a 12s1p p42a? it would probably give you enough range and reduce weight substantially.
Duuuude…get well soon! Gravity cannot be underestimated

This battery is primarily for my eMTB. I think I probably will go with a 10s1p in a small box on one end of the board. Would be the most practical option I think.

A 3d printed super slim enclosure with a 12s1p P42A pack would be what I’d do. Now I want to…
I didn’t ever thought about the top middle mounted case on a street deck, that’s a pretty good idea,
maybe I’ll finally electrify my dropcat afterall
I personally didn’t like it when kick-pushing / foot-braking. When riding it’s fine though.
Maybe something smaller, more like 12s1p
The shorter the better. Width wasn’t an issue, but more room for feet was.
Did you chose the 38" on purpose over the 40 or was it because of stocks ?
38" is perfect for my size (6’4). 40" Is a bit big as a push-board, although it’s fine for electric where you ride in a wider stance.
It’s about being clear about what the board is intended for. Is it a lightweight pushable street cruiser for short trips, or is it a performance board that needs to reach high speeds and do that over long distances, at the expense of being less portable and nimble, and higher off the ground.
As a single hub board, I imagined that the emphasis was more on portability than top speed and range.
Tradeoffs, always!

@Murloc992 You got a spare shitty remote by any chance?
Worst case I can use a USB keyboard lmao
