DIY Electric Penny Board! - Super Portable, Lots of Fun!!!

Electric Longboard: goo.gl/y1cDCM
Penny Board: goo.gl/5cVLND
Learn how I was able to take parts from a cheap electric longboard and retrofit them onto a super small portable penny skateboard. This electric skateboard is super light and can fit in my backpack so I can bring it just about anywhere! Best of all, the modification is very easy so anyone can do it! Enjoy!

You might wanna change the bearings with reds or something, I'm sure the ones that came with the cheap Longboard aren't very good and changing them with nicer ones will make it go a lot faster

[@adolfshitler8341]

Chocolate.Gains on an electric skateboard bearings don't really matter, as long as they don't break you'll be fine, if you have a really weak motor then using reds or abec 9s will let it reach top speed faster, but ain't no body got time for weak motors

[@JonathanVaucher]

Just need speed cream on the stock bearings. No need to swap them. Lube is all it takes (That's wat she says !)

[@benhedley3145]

The swag board bearings aren’t that bad, they are greased. The swag board also 400$

[@kurlyrolstart]

Lmao clicked on this video and was like, why does this sound like jlazer. Then I looked😂😂😂

[@Daddyazza]

DUDE THATS LEGIT. NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROPERLY MAKE A ELECTRIC PENNY BOARD. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS 😅

[@Ryan-pj2uk]

"DIY" other board cost $300 bruh

[@Tremor244]

Your video inspired me so I'm building one right now, I bought a used chinese electric skateboard for $50 and a knockoff pennyboard for $10, I need to replace the bearings and bushings, the final build cost comes to about $88, with a single hub motor. I cut the tail off of the pennyboard so it fits in my backpack properly! :)

[@kanzu3074]

Dang that sounds good. You have somewhere pics??

[@Tremor244]

@@kanzu3074 imgur.com/a/WYxOr8t Here, since rhen I replaced the battery as the original died.

[@sireax1638]

@@Tremor244 what's the name of the electric board? I want to build my own electric penny board so bad and yours is the slickest I've ever seen :)

[@ddamx]

Good thinking. Not DIY from scratch, but DIY nonetheless. My only concern is with drilling the new truck holes so close to the old ones. Have you had any issues with this, at this point?

[@kitohol]

yeah, i had the exact same thought. It will defo no hold up over time :/

[@awesomethunder4983]

this guy comes up with all of these genius idea, it is awesome. he should be rich. if anyone hasnt subscribed to him yet, THEN DO IT!!!

Dude No offense but this isn't DIY you just re decked it There is some DIY but not that much just sayin (Again I'm not hating just putting my own comment)

Batu Orhun Bilgic true

[@maxigeiger4673]

I had the same idea but i did nothing Nice video man

[@chile98911]

Awsome Video. I will definitely be trying this myself.

[@flipnshifty]

I love pennyboarding

[@C.hammer_mma]

I did this with my long board and it works so amazing.

[@YakiLeon22]

Detective Conan, here we go! XD

[@ash17skate]

No need to drill the board at all you could just swap the hangers (keep the penny "ridge" base plates on)

[@kevinantoine4891]

I need help buying my first penny board the (affordable penny board) .. I did some research and came down to 3 brands playshion mini cruiser, cal 7 22inch penny board and rimable 22inch penny board.... if you have any experience with these boards can you please comment

i was thinking the same, these little motorized boards makes you happy just walking on them

[@sam5474]

Good job

[@djayawarman]

How much does it weigh now with the new electric component?

[@mstrshkbrnnn1999]

that's not a penny though

[@alexanderhoy2477]

Yes it is.

[@L4STF0RG1VEN]

Its a nickel from ridge :D

[@iwi3434]

it's a kriptonics board

[@levi6241]

penny style not brand

[@_johnycash]

you idiot it is a ridge penny board from uk different tho.

[@wildspace4986]

Amazing idea

[@crzyruskie86]

Good job man

[@VanIife]

Normal sized trucks on a penny board though. Kinda kills it. Very cool thoughz

[@soda6265]

Super sweet!! Thanks!

[@yogeebear2599]

can you somehow use the kinetic energy of the front wheels and some how charge the battery? it sounds stupid but I was just thinking about it.

[@Insertchillnamehere]

Yogee Bear not a stupid idea at all, electric cars use a similar concept call regenerative braking. I'm not sure how or if it would be worth applying to a skate board but it's definitely not a stupid idea.

[@jackstancil5770]

Yogee Bear you could, but it would mean that your board would go slower. according to the laws of physics, the kinetic energy you take from the wheels will subtract from the kinetic energy of the whole board. Also, you would lose more energy to friction by the mechanism you use to take that kinetic energy. It would be practical on something very large, but would not be practical on the longboard.

[@Mr_toe_]

Jack Stancil YEAH sCieNCE

[@BatuOrhunBilgic]

Regenerative breaking is kind of that

[@deanlalap]

Not at the same time. The overall effect is that you'd be losing energy because some energy escapes as heat, friction between the wheel and ground, friction within the motors, etc.

[@ep4921]

This is super cool--love your channel!

[@xytyz_]

dude your awesome!!!!!! this is really cool!! really love your videos

[@therealkevinleee]

will this fit easier on a regular skateboard? with no cutting? should just be able to transfer everything to the new board and only have to drill new holes for the batterry enclosure?

[@OldGinger]

Will definitely do this!

[@1n081]

Super idea! And a really nice video but how fast are you with this?

[@harrisoncawthorne2882]

Amazing

[@Hooman0012]

From where did you get those battery and wheel

[@shanei8649]

hey laser build a vortex tube people like if you also want people who dont know its a way to freze things and melt things just with a air compreser and all the power u need is the power for the air compreser

[@ApollosArtChild]

Question: I know this vid has been out here for a long time now but like how do you replace the wheels on the motorized wheels?

[@davidscott1889]

That's cool my question is how far can you go how long will the battery last and how much does it cost to make

[@sam5474]

I subscribed 😁

[@gavinsampson]

How powerful is the motor you used

[@emil7163]

I may be late with this comment but i was just wondering how far you can go with one charge?

[@thattheatrenerd1418]

I live on staten island but I signed up for a program in the city. this will probly help me get around thanks.

[@keshaborja8564]

On the Avasva you can count on professional help with problems and technical support.

[@Sh-up8yp]

Can you make a normal one, not for a small one, but a cheap diy version0

[@braxwatt6277]

can you take out the battery pack from the original board and add a more powerful one

[@michaelfantini47]

Does this board have regenerative braking?

[@leondeblaauw2082]

just one thing if you hand picked the parts it would be cheaper then if you buy it complete (also way better)

[@davematthewcodilla4316]

yes this is ive been waiting for

[@smitty6290]

Is it waterproof?

[@philipbutler6708]

what size drill bit did you use to drill the new holes?

[@gixxer4646]

I would have moved the front one forward, as on the back one you have the entire weight and also steering with it, in time those holes will crack in that plastic from to much pressure and stress on the back of the board.

[@abasalqashami5070]

awesome

[@VerdeVisualProductions]

Do a video of you putting all your inventions together into like, a power suit

I liked the video !! I think is a good idea

[@yeezus7377]

Don’t need to bust his 🏈

[@kod4062]

Dream board lol

[@_tovarisch]

If the size of the penny board was too small maybe take it up a nickel board, it's still rather small but it gives you the space you need for drilling and would've saved you the hassle of moving the trucks

[@tfvortexe6627]

wait wait wait, so you can get tired by walking? I've never gotten tired enough as to stop and rest while walking places. Was that just for comic relief, or is there something wrong with me lmao

I know that you wanted it to be portable but if you use a nickel board it would be a perfect fit. but then again the purpose was to use the Penny.

[@xvi3869]

hey laser how Ru??

[@XDLazypanda]

Can you make one for a cruiser board!!

[@XDLazypanda]

+ how to make if u wanna detach the battery to charge what solution is there (i have to leave skateboard at the back} + i tend to still skate in a wet weather xD more fun but that sayin would it wreck ?

whats the battery called?

[@64creeperrider64]

can u use any board

[@zu438]

Here is how to make a DIY electric skateboard:. First buy an electric skateboard.........the only hack here is you dude!! 😂

[@Long4Beyond]

so cool ! unfortunately electric skateboards arr indeed to big... Penny Boards are more convenient and better style.

[@brendalg4]

Didn't think this would be about switching the battery from an electric longboard to a penny. I think most will view this because they are trying to get an electric board for cheap. To do this you have to buy an electric board! The only advantage is size.

[@hardassponge9018]

cant you just put screws through the silver bit?

[@the_wilson_smh]

That silver bit houses a battery, drill through it and the battery leaks and will not work, or you have the possibility of drilling into the wires which would not be good.

[@WIGGLESGAMING85]

I think it would be better with a nickel board

[@misaeltrejo4923]

Do you guys think I could do this on my penny board but instead use the motor and system of a Acton blink board

[@mcornell5470]

MiZa PiZzA you wouldn't be able to use the gen 1 blink board with the belt drive, but the gen 2 with the hub motor or blink lite would work.

[@kyle8575]

MiZa PiZzA get the $370 Blink S on indiegogo it's small and cheap

[@SpanishAlchemy]

Not a DIY, it's just a deck swap.

Lancelot you're right, you definitely can't "do it yourself" and diy means completely homemade, you're right you hater

[@sergioalejandrovazquezrodr3083]

Corey Conachan Duuude, did you even read your own comment? This is something that you can completely do by yourself, it doesn't mean it has to be easy, it can be done. And that "homemade" thing you said. who said that, DIY means Do It Yourself, it has never meant something homemade

[@adolfshitler8341]

This video is swapping an already built power pack and drive system onto a smaller board, its a "swap it yourself"😂 but you are aware that a motor isn't exactly hard to make, same goes for the battery pack, this entire set up could very well be a diy build but he chose not too.

[@Cloudyyyy88]

Well it is still DIY. Idiot.
