Building a DIY Electric Skateboard

BEFORE YOU WATCH:
This is the first time i EVER filmed a video. And so it's the first episode on my channel. I really dream there would be more on various topics.
_______________________________________
In this video i make an electric skateboard. A cinematic take on the building process in which simple things become one spectacular unit.
If you interested in skateboard building check this forum: forum.esk8.news
They taught me a lot.
Chapters:
00:00 Intro
00:11 All parts together
00:23 Deck - It can actually be any deck you like;
00:49 Leather Wrap - aliexpi.com/AFm2;
01:35 Evolve Trucks in parts - shorturl.at/deiyR
01:39 Torqueboards Mounts - shorturl.at/bsAX2
02:31 Flipsky 6354 Motors - shorturl.at/lsxJY (better different ones)
03:03 15T motor pulley - shorturl.at/novIX
03:15 Torqueboards 110MM wheels - shorturl.at/orsGK
03:53 Zealous Bearings - shorturl.at/wzCY2
04:31 36T Wheel Pulley - shorturl.at/cfIM5
05:24 Enclosure and battery
05:55 Maytech VESC - aliexpi.com/5wkn
05:55 Anti-spark Switch - the guy from whom i bought doesn't do them anymore
09:35 Maytech Remote - better buy VX2 - shorturl.at/npFTU
09:53 Board in the Wild
10:30 Run
11:00 Total price
11:12 Specs
P.S. I didn't show all the details. It's not all the best tutorial but i tried my best to show all the moments. So there is no anti-spark switch mentioning or no schematics. It has to be done in another more detailed tutorial.
HOPE YOU ENJOY!

I'm sure this is far from the first comment mentioning this, but "WEAR A HELMET" for the love of continuing this amazing passion that you have clearly progressed in! You clearly have a lot of brilliance inside that skull of yours, so consider keeping it safe, more-so for yourself, but in lesser extent, for this potentially top dog diy KZbin channel too (Also for any students following your lead as they may not have the same common sense to take it easy on the first run as, at the very least, you made sure you did) On another note, love the video and now subbing 😎👍 Seriously, great editing and workflow. Not much come close to this!

[@jerodbjx]

This is a great video. I really like how you included the parts list with the cost of each part towards the end of the video.

[@kevinolsen4948]

Well done video. Pleasure to watch and informative at the end.

[@Matricule-ru9kl]

Very great and underated video, and I come after hundred of DIY electric skateboard's videos

[@artyomedition]

Thx bro

[@orlandomarinjr]

Very cool bro 😎 I have a similar build but with 6374 motors and 12S4P. Get almost 40 miles range. Much respect to you for building it yourself ! Awesome

[@artyomedition]

Yeah, that's the next plan, 6374 motors, 12s battery, vx2 remote and unity esc. Thank you :)

[@orlandomarinjr]

@@artyomedition That's the way to go brother

[@tonytober]

Should I consider upgrading from 6355 to 6374 if I want to go with bigger wheels without sacrificing torque? (Requires new trucks/mounts/belts/motor). I wonder why my 2x6355 Meepo Voyager almost as fast as a Meepo 2x6374 Hurricane...

[@orlandomarinjr]

@@tonytober I would just get 6384 if you’re gonna upgrade big difference in power

[@hellllno1q2w3et6789]

Nice work man! Keep at it you'll be able to reach high speeds in no time, on my diy I now hit 60kmh and it was super scary at first.

[@artyomedition]

My record is 63kmh. But then i fell at 55kmh wearing no armor. After that i'm afraid to go above 45. But it was first day on a board so even 40 seemed dangerous as hell :)

Looks like a fun build! Why do nearly all these skateboard build videos contain the roughest cheapest soldering irons known to man?

[@landolakes]

Everything looks great except that remote! Did you upgrade to VX2 like in the description? I have a couple VX1s and I like them. And like the other guy said.. wear a helmet!! I've been riding for years and have had my helmet save me from death numerous times.

[@ryanschulz9893]

Nice vid. Was just wondering what the length of the deck is and the pros and cons of it?

[@artyomedition]

35inch. Ideal size for me. Not too long, not too short. Very responsive and it has aggressive concave. Minuses: i would make bigger enclosure so i could use bigger battery and easier cable management

[@darthgerman6383]

Hello can you show how do you program the esc please in a video 😅 With friendly regard René

[@sambailey8378]

How come you didnt like the flipsky motors?

[@artyomedition]

they deliver less power than it's written on their specs. It says 65A current, but higher than 40A there were weird noises and motor starts lagging. moreover i had problem with sensors, they just didn't work well. so i ended up in sensorless mode. :( I have BKB 6374 and Torque boards 6374 and these are brilliant motors.

[@ar9maker]

I wonder if your experience would have been different with battle hardened 6374 from flipsky

[@dino15309]

@@artyomedition I agree with @ar9 maker as the new battle-hardened motors are quite well liked and haven't had many problems at the same price. Although, I don't know enough to compare them with the torqueboards motors (the owner of the company can be found all over the Esk8 forums which adds a sense of care). All in all, newer = better in this case I suppose. Great video though! I really like the carbon fiber paired with the blue wheels!

[@ekkanofiqandriyana7325]

where to buy evolve dkp truck sir.?

[@whitewhalo]

OMG, where do you live Artyom? I want to make an order :D Hello from Odesa

[@artyomedition]

Спасибо большое) Там в конце видео есть цена и все компоненты. (я в ней сделал правда ошибочку и там должно 990$ :) По поводу доставки, то я себе склад Meest открыл в США, туда сразу всё заказывал и отправлял уже себе же. Многие, кто скейты в Украине собирают тоже так делают) Получается очень сильно экономить на доставке. У многих продавцов бесплатная доставка по Америке. А у миста очень дешевые тарифы на доставку до Украины. Вот и получается, что можно купить половину всего и привезти за 30$, только цену посылки меньше 100 евро делать (можно на несколько распределять)
