DIY Electric Longboard

bruh this was 3 months ago and were still waiting for part 2 hope this guy is okay

[@tommyreslinski]

You might have the best / most straightforward video on diy electric longboard I've seen. Really makes it simple to understand. Great job.

[@wompstopm123]

your build was alot less complicated than great scotts build video, and you didnt need to use a $2000 routing machine and a milling machine n'shit you earned a sub

[@TheApo98]

Greatscott made it by himself almost from scratch. This guy just bought all the parts an assembled them (it turned really nice though) If you really want to make something you can find a way to make it for cheap.

[@mattleblanc3138]

This has Casey Neistat written all over this video... That being said... This video IS AMAZING! The angle, the crisp quality, the short dialogue, the quick cut clips, the angles (this is debatable), and the overall experience was both entertaining, informative, and inspirational! Great job man!

What are ALL the connectors need to connect to Lipo to the ESC called??

[@TheMarcball]

Hi Matt, thanks for this video, the style is obviously an hommage to the Neistat man, but very well done. More importantly, the build is clean and very inspiring. I'm recycling loads of 18650s at the moment and my first project will be a longboard in this style. More soon... Keep on trucking ! (from France)

[@Bellerophontess]

Luca Wendker 16ah kapazität ist mehr als genug, allerdings ist der gezeigte lipo nur 4S, das ist etwas wenig. 8S wäre besser, dh du könntest zwei von denen in serie schalten. allerdings reichen 10 oder 5ah auch schon für den anfang, dh zwei 4S 10ah in serie (8S) würden gehen. oder zwei 6S 5ah in serie (12S) zb - 12S ist aber dann auch das limit, habe ich selber noch nicht ausprobiert, werde ich aber bei meinem nächsten board machen ;)

Couple of questions. 1) will this brake properly? 2) are all the parts in the description? Don't really see the ESC in there. 3) how long will it take to put all of this together properly? 4) what would you guys think Is the best thing to use as cover for the parts at the bottom? I was thinking about making some type of carbon fiber mold, but I'm not sure yet.

[@rdog1121]

GREAT video you put together Bro!!!! You are very articulate and show in great depth on how everything works. I HATE how other dudes say they're going to build a board and just show or quickly explain what they did or what they used. I loved how you even showed your wiring diagram. I'm looking to build one for my son who is 14 (I will also be building one for myself so we can cruise together), but that ESC (VESC) is a bit intimidating. *COULD YOU PLEASE*....... Do a SLOW Step-by-step tutorial on the complete setup on the VESC??? I know there are videos on it, but you do A MUCH BETTER job at explaining things and I have a feeling that is just your style which will trickle into the VESC video if you were to do one. THANX Bro!!!!!! I look forward to more of your content!!!!!!

[@Bellerophontess]

+rdog1121 i might do one, it will be about 6 weeks until i get the time though :( glad you like it! ;)

[@branwenwashere]

If you end up with a part 2 let me know, this was pretty interesting and you have a good way of teaching poeple things!

[@Methnerjacob]

Casey Neistat viewer?

[@Bellerophontess]

+Jake Methner definitely ;)

[@Methnerjacob]

+matt.duesentrieb I knew it! :P What battery cells are you using? a123 cells?

[@Bellerophontess]

+Jake Methner i am using ncr18650bd cells, they are kind of pricey but very high quality (3200mah, 10a discharge rate). i initially built the battery packs for my fpv drones where weight is a big issue so i chose these high capacity cells. for a longboard a little cheaper and heavier cells like the ncr18650pf (2700mah) or similar should be totally fine though.

[@kickpunch37]

The link to the drive kit is not working. Is there an update? Video is awesome. Thanks for putting this together!

[@ArvaSyed]

You must be inspired by Casey Neistat, i see a lot of similarities such as at 0:36 the thing you drag down and just everything in general.

[@DorivalErcole]

Nice job on video and on the board! Two questions come to my mind:first, you weld the wires from side by side. It might be better interlacing ( a wire inside the other ) before welding them; and second, you will probably need two motors, one for each wheel, the way it's done, you'll get all the traction on one wheel only. But man, good job! Waiting for Part 2.

[@tiammoha6879]

neistat style ...

[@tiammoha6879]

[@bigsaint1251]

[@Bellerophontess]

+Borsy zoltan glad you guys like it! being compared to casey neistat is a big compliment and copying his style was exactly my intent of course. he is an amazing filmmaker in that he can tell even the most boring content (ie most of his vlogs) in an extremely entertaining way. on the other hand there are lots of people who make amazing tutorials but it's sometimes really hard to watch to the end. now i am neither a filmmaker nor a super geek, but i try to bring a little bit of both together. getting this feedback from you really motivates me to keep on making videos. thanks! ;)

[@jonienglish3231]

good video matt i have a Enertion K1 dual motor kit ongoing project and also have the Evolve Bamboo AT/ ST version currently riding

[@MrBahtye]

Would you be able to post a video on how you made your battery packs?

[@emil2405]

i noticed you said you would wire the batteries in series because it would draw less mah but if i were to explain why i wired it in series was to get a higher voltage because the motor have more or less 190 kv wich means 190 rpm per volt, correct me if i am wrong.

[@loeken]

Cool project, there are 2 things that are a bit unclear to me maybe you can clarify this. 1.) What board configuration did you exactly pick? I saw you mentioned the board is called "loaded dervish" but on their website there are quite a few options to pick from. Could you also specify the parts you got such as the wheels and other things? Just to have a complete list of all your components. 2.) The battery pack you built. Do you have some sort of video of that built too, or some info on the parts? I know you said its overkill, how long (time/distance) can u actually drive with it?

[@Bellerophontess]

+internetz.me glad you liked it. the dervish i have is the predecessor of the dervish sama. i have 180mm paris trucks, which is kind of a default setting for most longboards. the drive pulley i got fits the orangatang kegel wheels. get the best bearings you can afford. the battery is build from panasonic ncr18650bd li-ion cells in 6p 4s configuration (each pack, i use two of them in series to get 8s). i am planning on doing a tutorial on how to solder li-ion packs but it will take a few weeks, i am right now prepping for my big final exam. hope that helps ;)

[@F2Dcombat]

Where is part 2? I wanted to see how the enclosure was made (looks like from plywood - lasercut?)

[@monteay]

Well done boy . Just one thing : is there any brake ?

[@ryan4888]

i don’t really understand why people are comparing you to casey. the only similarities i see are the workshop and the drawing. but even that’s a stretch imo. your drawings are pretty scientific compared to what occurs in casey’s videos. i really enjoyed the video and thought the style was pretty unique. well done

[@matteocallisti1100]

Very nice, I have a question: how do you brake when you are full speed?

[@shrimit1]

Nice work.. 😇 I would try this. But how to recharge the batteries.?

[@n8thegr848]

Either add a charging port or charge it up by unplugging the connector to the esc and find a plug that will charge it up that way

[@azucar8010]

I'd like to know how did you make the batteries?

[@Jbyrneham]
