Traqpod Skateboard

guess im not the target audience then :joy:

if this is a thing i guess some quality brackets that let you slide the wheelbase without tools on hand would be nice - as in slide the trucks back under the board for storage use, or shorter wheelbase fun

I wanna like it but…it looks so dumb :flushed:

Dude, that’s actually a pretty sweet idea! Sounds like it’d be more stable than these folding brackets as well!

Please build your sliding g-bomb brackets with lock out pin adjustability immediately. Thanks.

Done yet?

it would end up as a picture in shitty-diy-and-nothing-else

you’d have to ask someone more competent for this, i still live in the stoneage, no 3d-printer and especially no cnc :joy:

The engineering and idea of this is super cool.

As was mentioned though I don’t see where it is electrified, they do look like hub motors but none of the video showed any electric capabilities or how it is even powered. Should be interesting to follow

it looks like just a push board no?

edit:
nvmnd, “electric skateboards done right”. But they r going like 5mph in that video. And they’re all pushing in the video too…now I’m confused

here is my suggestion for the locking pin tho… this is used to mount huge speaker arrays at an angle - has a push button to release

You’re 88% finished. I just funded your Kickstarter. This is exciting.

no problem, if lego technic grade strength is enough :joy:

in a perfect world you would set the bracket angle AND wheelbase with those pins

looking at these, you could imagine where the idea goes

I think the vid only shows the manual version.

I’ve seen something similar but the truck mechanism does not fold in like what you showed.

Once again i’d like to show off what @IDEA posted on his instagram sometime last year, pretty cool concept.

This thing is very capable load carrier. However nothing to prevent rattling while you ride.
The folding mechanism (of any kind, for esk8 application) has to be preloaded.

hmm these are built for acoustic applications tho, have you ever heard a line array rattle under load ?

edit: @dani (wrong reply button)

Of course, these are preloaded by the weight of the speakers

Static load.

Does anyone knows if Linky rattles through ride?

i understand that, but there is also the weight of the rider , no ?

Sure, add the uneven terrain, bumps and such…
I mean that’s why we secure the shit out of our batteries and internals.

i see where youre coming from, guess im too spoiled by viennese tarmac :man_shrugging:

if its an issue you could add tension one way or another tho… but anyways it was just an idea, nothing i will try to build / test out

Right, but I’m guessing that’s the only one that exists.
