Kelvin (@Kelvinnn) and Nick (@MagloLabs) here from Maglo Labs. We’ve been longtime lurkers of the forum and have been wanting to build electric skateboards for ages.
Kelvin was building his board and wanted to design a custom enclosure that balances flexibility, compatibility and aesthetics. This is the result – Velocity Enclosure.
We’ve had some issues with water resistance in the past, so we decided to go with cable glands to allow for easy wire access and no silicon filling. If you want, you can put window seal insulation between the board and the deck.
Inner dimensions : 17.6″ x 6″ x 1.4″ (not including front and rear wedge)
Possible battery pack sizes : double stack 18650 12s6p or single stack 21700 12s4p with dual esc
It sells for $70 in the USA, and $85 for other countries. Buy at https://maglolabs.com. Our lead time is 1-2 weeks before we ship your order. We include the enclosure, cable glands, and hardware. Let us know if you have any questions. Hope you like it!
Yes, we do vacuum form these enclosures ourselves. As for the vacuum forming setup, we designed and built a vacuum forming table and heating element specifically for making esk8 enclosures.
Correct, you have a couple options for joining the two halves of the enclosure together. Glue, silicone, heavy duty tape or even door sealer will work for improving water resistance. You also have the option of not physically joining the two sides so that in the event you need to access the esc(s), only the back half of the enclosure needs to be removed and not the entire thing.
