Final form of the project that @davidbonde and I have been working on is starting to come into focus. Looking to provide a very low standing platform that is nearly at axle height, with a very slim enclosure that will support 18S9P 18650. Planning Molicel P30B. ~1750wh capacity. Real world Cruising range of 50mi. 35mi range absolutely flogging it on a cold day. 300A + peak discharge capable.
The current 18s8p Prototipo enclosure gaffed on for test riding is represented in the 3D Model by the mustard yellow strip. Gaining significant clearance for tight / low speed turning and carving, and about .3 -.5 cm of total clearance in the center. “Cells” in the rough draft battery layout are over-sized .5cm in length and .2cm in diameter to allow for insulation, connections, general margin for error etc… with an additional .1cm of visual gap between groups.
Loads of comfortable concave and large 4cm drops on the deck. This board is designed around a specific spot to place your feet, and it HUGS them in place. The way this feels under foot is truly special.
I’m getting seriously excited about how short, nimble, low, and capable this board will be. Amazing cruiser / carver to compliment your Stooge V5 / SSS race board, or a fantastic street / track board for someone just getting into track riding, and wants to build something more cruising / carving focused.
Did a mini test of this and it juuust barely moves upside down. Scratches the hell out of the floor/ griptape though haha.
I could cheekily slap some 6.5” wheels on and get it to ride
This one is ABS and a kinda prototype press from Bonde. Alan at eboosted is making this shape also and that will be available in about 2 months.
Bonde will offer ABS enclosures to those who want to go that way, but we’re making sure there is another option for those who don’t want to mess with ABS
