[@MikeBeard]

What are some types of things you would like to know about building electric skateboards?

[@Kevla310]

Great video! I am curious to know how you solder the 18650 cells together. And what type of charging solution do you use?

[@matthewsutton3190]

i was wondering where you get the box of 18650 batteries from???

[@MikeBeard]

+Matthew Sutton I order them in bulk from IMR batteries

[@matthewsutton3190]

Alright. Thanks man!

[@matthewsutton3190]

another thing, what size are they or how much mah they are?

[@rustedwatermellon9550]

Can you make a video on how to make a 18650 cell battery. Awesome video by the way!

[@edpowers4771]

would love to see this as well!

[@MrWabouz]

Not that simple. 18650 cells must be treated very carefully as they can't stand high temperature.

[@luckym0nk3y]

A friend of mine built one for a drone but was to heavy but you can check out his channel he has another video but its like 35 mins long. I'll give you a link.

[@luckym0nk3y]

Rustedwatermellon kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZmwgmSYh7t3lac

[@jrxtrc]

It's actually much much cheaper and easier buying pre-made 36V 4.4Ah battery packs with a BMS already attached from this eBay seller for less than if you were to make it yourself and half the cost if you were to buy a battery pack from a diy skateboard site. www.ebay.com/p/Samsung-36v-4-4ah-Battery-18650-Ebike-Vape-Powerwall-Batteries-20/1621923126?iid=201895735309&_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3D5f1a3769f6f34e1d96645db8d02ea0e1%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D201916138726&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

[@jakubputynkowski8554]

I'm sorry but you said you were going to discuss all of the options but you didn't. When it comes to remote you didn't talk about low/high speed options, why you should invest in a vesc instead of esc, how you built your battery pack, what's the advantage of your solution instead of lipo etc. I'm looking forward to the series but this video left me kind of puzzled about choice of parts for my project. Just my 2 cents, you are doing great work :)

[@MikeBeard]

+Jakub Putynkowski You are right. In my parts list I do leave different options for different categories. I did want to talk about more options, the video just ended up really long. I’ll get more into it in future videos 👍🏻

[@electriccruiser7796]

Go to www.electricskateboards.com and read through the forums, all your answers to these questions are there

[@OswaldBeef]

www.winspinwinnipeg.ca/store

[@nucleo1772]

Agree with Jakub

[@relic323]

1:36 "I really like this dark wood" you said it m8 :)

[@Fable1Guides]

So glad you are making and selling.

[@darrinanddonna]

Very cool ! Im going to build one with my 16 year old daughter, I love the fact that if anything goes wrong we can fix it at home. With extensive RC hobby experience this should be a great build !

[@MikeBeard]

+Darrin Ray Sounds good! Have fun 😊

[@jakoblacher2313]

A video about your battery would be awesome!!I like your videos!!

[@fortie6902]

*tips fedora* M’board

[@polomarknot17]

What do you think of bigger ~7” off-road wheels. I’d like to build an off-road capable board mostly for med to short grass and gravel. Would these tucks and this deck be good for that? Thanks!

[@BigKidsOfficial]

TropicalOnion go for the 7” pnumatics for sure! If you do, go for a dual motor set up with (2) 6455 motors. Also, because of the amperage demands use LiPos. It’s a very common set up for pnumatics.

[@heavystarch100]

Thank you for getting to the point!

[@nicolasgonzalez3148]

Does everything still work but for a shorter time if you reduce the number of batteries? And could you make a full video getting all the pieces of the battery together cause I think that's quite hard

[@HelloHello-sz2tk]

Can you PLEASE do a video on how to thermo form? I really need to know as I am using a small board and I can't find an enclosure that holds the battery and also fits on the skateboard!!!!!! THANKS!!!! YOUR AMAZING!!! 10/10

[@MikeBeard]

+Hello Hello Yes! I do plan on shooting a video on that very soon!

[@anthonyquintanilla163]

im looking to build a 10s board with a 20 mile range atleast and nice and strong but im looking at your parts list and theres so many on the mboards site idk what to get :(

[@MikeBeard]

The longest range would be the 10s5p battery. You’ll get the range you are looking for. If you can sacrifice a few miles if range the 10s3p’s form factor is much nicer.

[@MrComa12345]

Hey man, It would be very cool if you could show us the process of amking your own battery. And I also cant wait to see full build guide :)

[@MikeBeard]

+Mr Dżem Making a whole video on DIY batteries 👍🏻

[@jacksonway7589]

I'm making something like an electric skateboard but it uses tanktreads instead of normal wheels. Would the same motors here work for me?

[@buenobars3378]

How to connect the batteries to the charger if I'm using Lipo battery. The connectors don't come withe the charger. Could you leave a link to the connectors

[@samstedman409]

What did this end up costing you? Idk if MBoards was selling the stuff they do now back when you built this but they have a lot of simple kits that you can put together and I chose a couple of them then has a 15-18 mile range, 25 mph and at ~$650. This is much better than boosted so thank you!

[@jakespeer353]

I am curious as to why you chose the battery solution you did, why the 18650's? what are some potential alternatives and what are the pros and cons of each? Also what are the predicted specs of this board?

[@mikecane]

I actually like the Tupperware enclosure. I've seen something like that with Oren's videos. I like the idea of just popping two flaps open to swap out batteries to extend range. It looks to me like your new 18650-based battery has a longer length than the Hobby King ones you originally used. True?

[@tcheung77]

Can you also go over calculations of motor type and battery (18650), specifically on how you arranged the batteries depending on the specs and how do you know what speed, range or torque you're going to get with these calculations. Both on hub and belt motors if they are diff..please

[@electriccruiser7796]

Tommy the Barber go do some reading through forums on www.electric-skateboard.builders . The answers to all the questions you have are there. But to answer your main question you need to make sure your ERPM does not exceed 60,000. And Just don't bother with hubs, go read up on the forums.

[@electriccruiser7796]

He also explained it is a 10s2P battery back with Samsung 25rs meaning the pack is 42 volts fully charged 4.2*10 =42... As for capacity we know they are 25r so 2,500 mah = 2.5 Ah. In parallel this is a 5AH pack...

[@sk8maniac955]

As far as torque goes, how does this board compare to the boosted board? (I know its a dual motor) Basically I'm just curious if this board gives you a bit of a thrill when taking off and I'm curious to just how torque-y it really is.

[@hanmetalworks]

Would this work on a regular popsicle board? Is there a real reason that eboards really aren't done on regular board decks?

[@AlejandroDiaz-so8gl]

Have you tried using two motors and if you have did you have to change up the vesc?

[@joshuaaxelio7631]

How much does it cost for making a penny size diy skateboard ( not to forget the flexibility and bouncy material) any suggestion??

[@janosadelsberger]

When you plug your battery directly into the VESC is there some kind of battery protection build in? If not, do you have any recommendation for good battery management ICs? I want my board to be basically fool proof. Pretty much like the stuff you can buy, plug in, charge - boom, done.

[@tomerfeld6271]

Can you do a video of how to assemble the new version of the electric skateboard?

[@DavidLopez-oc6qj]

So im pretty sure it's a little different for the hub motors can you make a list on what a person needs to make one plz

[@blacklight492]

Hey Mike, i was wondering if you eve had any problems with your motor by keeping it exposed. It that a concern, should we house the motor in a compartment to keep dirt and dust out of the motor? Or is keeping the motor exposed jut fine?

[@MikeBeard]

+blacklight492 I’ve never had an issue with it exposed. I’ve ridden through dirt, dust, gravel, small puddles, it’s always been fine. I wouldn’t stress too much. But an enclosure would help 👍🏻

[@themostexcellentadventure5473]

Good vids. A suggestion for future vids, go into detail about what the subject is. Like what the letters and numbers mean for a motor or batteries etc. Looking forward to your next episodes.

[@reptilesmiami]

What would be the best way to build a board for mile range rather than speed . Bigger battery? If so what would you recommend

[@MikeBeard]

+reptiles miami You’ll want a battery with the most mAh rating possible. 5,000mah is standard 8,000-10,000 will be a lot more Range.

[@nikaotarashvili1862]

Show us how did you do that battary

[@TheEsaiGCorral]

I think it would be more helpful to put out a build video first. It would gain more traction for your channel. Then as the need arises make videos outlining all the different options there are for each particular part. Good vids overall though.

[@MannyM0E7O7]

Does your 10s BMS charge 10s lipo ? I don't feel confident enough to try and making 18650 yet

[@mickelfreiga2441]

How much does everything cost?

[@WLockIV]

My part selections totalled about $850, and most of the parts i selected were the nicer ones.

[@tsukashipaisen3451]

You could do all for 350 I made mine for about that cost. But I bought small batteries and instead of buying wheels for boosted boards I opted to but drill regular wheels. It's all give or take, if you want less stress and work buy the more expensive stuff, if you can deal the stress of using less expensive parts then you build for cheap

[@oskarkacin4104]

I want to get one of these boards but i have few questions 1. Is it waterproof 2. How fast it climb on 30° hill

[@angelodiaz4096]

Yes you made a a video how to built it ty for showing us

[@MikeBeard]

+Angelo Diaz More in-depth Videos is to come 👍🏻

[@romandise]

Hi, I need help, what happen if use 2 motors, for example one with 200kv and other with 400kv, would be powerfull and get I high speed, (lower kv with high kv)

[@MikeBeard]

The motors would run at different rpms. I would think it would run very awkwardly. I don’t think that would work very well. I would stick to 2 motors that have the same exact specs

[@00000a0009]

Have you ever tried to motorize a penny board? When I've some spear time I'm trying to figure it out starting from printing the support and the pulley (the problem will be to find the right belt)

[@MikeBeard]

I've tried, it would probably more practical with a Hub motor. There's just not much room under the deck to fit anything

[@00000a0009]

If so I should probably change the trucks too and it'll be bulkier, is it right? Right now I just 3d printed a mount for the motor, but I've the problem with the gears and belt because now it is too customized

[@frenoylucas7695]

Hey I really like the concept but can you mention approximately how much the board will cost as a finished product?

[@MikeBeard]

+frenoy lucas This board will cost between $550 and $600

[@oxintheshop]

So I was looking on your website and see the esc for dual motors but I want to use the vesc so what do I need from the two motors. Two vesc? And if so how does that wire up?

[@MikeBeard]

Yes you would need 2 Vescs. You would have to connect them with a canbus cable

[@oxintheshop]

Mike Beard ok great need would you use two batteries. One for each vesc and motor or somehow connect the two vesc to the one 10s5p battery

[@MikeBeard]

You would connect both vescs to the one battery 👍🏻

[@iSonikYT]

Could you maybe do one with a bluetooth module for tracking? (distance & speed)

[@grimmreaper5965]

Greetings. To say that I'm a noob in this whole world of electric skateboards would be a vast understatement. HOWEVER I have been watching a great many videos. And the one I seem to be gravitating towards is the enertion raptor 2. I like that they use hub motors in place of belts. So having just watched this vid I was wondering if it was possible to get something close to that and come in under the price they are asking for theirs. Also I am more interested in range than massive speed and I am a +plus 200 lb guy. So please factor those in when you answer and enlighten my stupidity. lol TIA Mike

[@balisticbob21]

Will you make a vid about how you made the battery and how you charge it

[@MikeBeard]

+sean hill Yes, that will probably be the next one 👍🏻

[@sebastiangomez8463]

This is wat the world needs right now

[@Shittytintprius]

If so is it a lot different to set up with or with out brushless

[@sctavis]

Hey, I'm in the process of collecting the things you need to build an electric skateboard, but don't want to spend that much money, and don't see myself using it for any practice purposes. I have found most things reasonably priced but I struggle with the amount the ESC cost. What is important in buying an ESC? the voltage, wattage, how many Amps it outputs? I am planning on building a battery that is about 36V. Any suggestions for where to find one (preferably less than 85$) and used is fine.

[@MikeBeard]

+Sarah Crawford You’ll need one that can handle the voltage and amperage your battery outputs. I would try searching for a high amperage esc and got from there. I would get one that can handle around 100-120amps The Vescs can handle around 150amps

[@yomama12098]

Awesome video mike👍🏼👍🏼

[@MikeBeard]

+John Reggiardo Thank you! 😎

[@randyscottslavin]

Mike! Thanks for this. Let me give you a bit of background. I've been using Boosted V2 and love it in most every way EXCEPT for battery life. I recently bought the evolve GTX and loved the battery life but it had some major drawbacks. 1. It's huge 2. The controller sucks! The unweighted trigger is extremely sensitive and I was almost thrown off the board every time I used the throttle. 3. The software on the ESC was really jenky. I returned it. Now I'm looking to build something myself which led me to you. Some questions if you will: Do you know of a shorter drop deck? 2. What controller is most similar to Boosted? I need something that will not lose connection in NYC (where I live) and have smooth with a weighted control so I can zoom around with good control. 3. Is it possible to program the throttle control? I come form the world of FPV racing drones... if you can control all your variables on a drone why cant I do that with my board? 4. what are good options for mounting the motors so they aren't hanging off the back like the GTX? Thanks and I plan on getting my batts and other stuff from you.

[@MikeBeard]

I'll try to answer to the best of my ability haha 1. The shortest drop through deck i've seen is 39", I haven't done a ton of looking for shorter ones though, I'm sure there are shorter ones out there. 2. The Enertion Nano-X seems to look the most like boosted. I haven't used it though 3. Yes it is possible to customize a ton of the settings on the VESC. 4. Best motor mount I've used so far: diyelectricskateboard.com/collections/electric-skateboard-motor-mounts/products/single-bolt-on-motor-mount-set-only-black?aff=2

[@TheYohanesIsa]

how can i protect the motor from water? you know some water spliting out from the wheels etc... i want to make my eskate water proof, my country is a tropical country so waterproof is a must i think... thanks mate... cheers

[@MikeBeard]

+Yohanes Isa Ananto Tri Pratiwi Brushless motors are relatively water resistant but the only way to fully water proof a board is to buy a water proof motor

[@TheYohanesIsa]

Mike Beard what is the limit brushless motor can handle water? Split water is okay? Is like puddle of water is okay too?

[@sbdanielsen]

Just found your channel man :D Great videos you're without a doubt the chuck norris of Electric skateboards 😂 keep it up fam 👌

[@MikeBeard]

+sbdanielsen 😂😂😂 Thanks man

[@shawnsears7590]

Do you have a parts supplier for a board with large off-road pneumatic wheels?

[@colebishop2978]

I am interested in a much slower board more in the range of 15 mph but want a much longer range what size/type of battery would you suggest and what type of motor would you suggest. I know this video was posted a while ago but you did an awesome job

[@MikeBeard]

I’d look into a 6s to 8s battery. Maybe a 6s4p battery. That would give you a long range but lower top speed

[@colebishop2978]

Mike Beard awesome I appreciate the advice

[@bhuvneshkhantwal1827]

Great! Can you please upload a schematic diagram of the circuit, and if possible of the hardware connections too...

[@7819ish]

I would like to see how make the board waterproof because in the city I live in it rains often and even a small puddle could damage the board.

[@TheRiceWarrior]

I'm somewhat concerned about the stability of the Torqueboard motor mount on the Caliber trucks. Do you think they are worth the high $60.00 price point or are the other options on your page just as good if not better in terms of stability and cost?

[@MikeBeard]

I seem to loose screws a lot with the Torque Boards one. The ones I have on MBoards.co seem to be a little more solid.

[@TheRiceWarrior]

Awesome thanks for the advice!

[@jingtianwang9793]

Hi mike, I would like to ask you. How many volts are recommended for a electric skate board?

[@MikeBeard]

+Jingtian Wang I recommend a 10 cell battery. Or 42 volts

[@badimpulses17]

Tbe Oranatang 80mm wheel are for the front only what about the for the hub motor will it fit also.

[@MikeBeard]

Like the boosted board, I use the orangatangs for all 4. The hub motors will fit on Paris trucks.

[@vinjemmy]

Nice. Thank you for doing this video.

[@MikeBeard]

+Vin Jemmy Thank you for watching 😊

[@raphaelbagneres6040]

Hello, I'm a french student, i found your videos about making yourself an electric skateboard. I'd like to make mine ! But the parts that we can buy from you, do you ship it to france ? Thank you.

[@MikeBeard]

+Raphael Bagneres Yes we ship to France!

[@eduardoherrera4894]

i lost my remote control what to do? doeas any control my boards is a kruze yeah might not exist but i have it and lost the remote. what to do?

[@kolalger387]

I LOVE YOUR SKATEBOARD VIDS😁😁😁

[@MikeBeard]

+YeahMart online store Thanks man! I’m glad you like them!

[@TheCoolDude1230]

so I'm looking into getting my first electric skate board and I'm trying to figure out if I should build it or buy one that's ready to use

[@MikeBeard]

+TheCoolDude1230 Hmm. That’s a tough question. Just depends if you are a type of person to build stuff.

[@TheCoolDude1230]

not really one to build stuff only considering it if it's cheaper.... and because I could customize because boosted board are expensive

[@MichaelS-xz3tz]

Hi Mike! Love all the videos and you've inspired me to make my own board. I bought a board and i wanted to seal it against any water (building the electric setup on Christmas break). Would the sealed wood make for any complications when attaching the battery? And also If I bought your battery pack that you offer, is it the same amount of Samsung batteries as in your videos?

[@MikeBeard]

+Michael Stazzone Hi, the sealed wood should effect anything. Should be no problem. And yes, my batteries are built with 20 Samsung cells.

[@noahigler1466]

Hey, I love your videos!!! If you remember I was that guy on the q and a on mboards.com who kept asking about the drop through...thanks for adressing it! haha

[@itshadii4093]

can i use any tim of switch like a 12v light up switch?

[@jjmendozer]

Great video and good editing! Really helpful!

[@MikeBeard]

+Jish Thank you!

[@berry6260]

Make a video on how to esemble the board.

[@nikkogutierrez5393]

How many battery cells are use in the battery pack Mike so I'll know how many to order. Just looked on your site is the price correct on your battery Pack $239.00?

[@MikeBeard]

+Nikko Gutierrez In the $239 Battery Pack there is 20 Cells total. 10 in series 2 in parallel. That also comes with a charge port and charger. If you are going to build your own you’ll need 20 Cells

[@nikkogutierrez5393]

Mike Beard is the BMS included in the pack? I may have you make it for me. I was able to get into Kit and screen shot all that I wanted as per your recommendations Mike. All except the deck. Which reminds me can't you use the rubber lifts on the drop thrus?

[@angelodiaz4096]

Good luck almost to 5k

[@MikeBeard]

+Angelo Diaz Thank you! Should hit 5k tomorrow!

[@micalmesot7215]

Whats good for climbing long hills?

[@MichaelHurdleStudio]

Excellent information dude. Thank you.

[@commander2200]

Hello my friend. First of all i would like to say very informative video i really liked it, and i am going to use it really in building my own Eskateboard. Second, i really want my board to have a speed of 28mph i know it is a little bit scary but that's what i want. Plus that i want it to be able to go for about 24miles. I really don't know how to build that and what exactly or even from where i can get these requirements from so I am hopping u can help me. Third, what about 20700 batteries, aren't't those better and much durable ? And i seem to have a problem with the website it dose not open at all. That's it for now i hope u can help me please

[@MikeBeard]

+mohamed sherin A 10s Battery would get your pretty close to 28mph. You’d need like 15000mah capacity to get you to 24miles. I’m sure 20700 batteries are great. Just have to keep an eye on pricing and actual value. And our website is up and running. Should be fine.

[@commander2200]

+Mike Beard what is that 10s battery ? And how many batteries are 15000mah ? Please

[@joshua5483]

#RoadTo50K. Might seem impossible, but I know if you keep making this content, you will be there before you know it.

[@MikeBeard]

+Joshua Greig Thanks man! Should be at 5k any day now!

[@sebastiangomez8463]

Perfect

[@FancyZombie11]

So if you buy a board off of mboards does it come with for example the charger battery remote, etc

[@MikeBeard]

+Fancy Zombie Yup 👍🏻 Ready to ride. Everything you need

[@Pozzy]

If I personalize a board on your website what battery size does it come with? It doesn't specify anywhere before buying my personalized board

[@MikeBeard]

+Pozzy 10s2p Battery. Made from Samsung cells. 42volts 5000mah

[@theaoktay4280]

would i need to get specific wheels if i'm looking to go for the hub motor?

[@exhausted_mood886]

So if I bought all of those parts to a board would you tell me the steps of putting it together

[@MikeBeard]

Absolutely. I am always here to help 👍🏻

[@nickgilmour3942]

Is it possible with the power cable and port to charge lipo batteries?

[@MikeBeard]

Yes, if you wire the charge port to a proper BMS for your lipo batteries and your charger is the proper voltage everything will work :)

[@wazaa_k7093]

when you will post next part of this?

[@oskarogarp]

I'm in the process of building one right now :) Just can't find a good pulley system and yellow wheels (yes yellow is important for my theme). Anyone have a suggestion for yellow wheels and a fitting pulley system? (From Sweden, EU) ps. Great vid once again :)

[@MikeBeard]

+Oskar Ogarp Pulley System: diyelectricskateboard.com/collections/electric-skateboard-pulley-belt-combo-kits/products/36t-kegel-pulley-combo-kit?aff=2

[@elliotassor8861]

i just found a really good supplier called eskating.eu, but nothing beats the torqueboards motor mount

[@sleepypipit9631]

how did you do the plastic wrapping on the batteries

[@langtangwang]

can you exchange the wheels on hubmotors?

[@nikkogutierrez5393]

Mike am curious, you can't use lifts on the drp thru deck? Mind you am still learning about this and will be ordering all the items I need for my build

[@MikeBeard]

If you mount the trucks underneath you can use Risers.

[@Nathan-B.]

Hey Mike, I'm enjoying your channel a lot. Keep up the great work! Where can I purchase just the 36 inch downhill board?

[@wrliggin2]

Earned a sub. I'm researching how to do it now

[@ACE3CGL]

Hey Mike, I've seen a few of your videos and played around on your website. Added all the items from your Kit list to my cart on Amazon and saw it was going to be at least $350 dollars just to make the battery. I understand that the price of an item on Amazon fluctuates daily, so the price for all the items I had could have been drastically different from the price you paid during your purchase(s). Overall, what sort of budget should I have for parts? I know the stock model you sell on your website is $800, so I'm guessing that figure includes all the parts + labor. My questions are: How much do you pay to make a 'stock' board (no additional extras)? Is your cost going to be lower than my cost because you're buying in bulk? What can I expect to pay?

[@MikeBeard]

+ACE3CGL Amazon does fluctuate a ton. And buying in bulk helps the price a ton. I’d plan on paying $550-$600 on a board.

[@ACE3CGL]

Mike Beard Thanks for the answer Mike. It helped me come to the conclusion that while I may be able to build a better board or buy one from you, I'm going to purchase a Backfire G2 because it's a better fit for me on my limited budget.

[@officialtechin5]

Really well done man. Entrepreneur spirit.

[@MikeBeard]

+TECH IN 5 Thanks man 😊 Thanks for watching

[@drewzambroski6138]

Are planning on using Velcro to attach your new plastic enclosure to video? Just found your channel yesterday. Keep up the great work

[@drewzambroski6138]

Never mind I see the screws in the mboard video

[@nicplevritis9480]

how much does it cost with all the parts and deck included?

[@natemartino1383]

would a chain work rather than a band?

[@pushpyroy4570]

I love it

[@dom9032]

Do you recommend hub motors or a regular motor with a belt?

[@MikeBeard]

+Dom T Depends on what you are looking for. You’ll get better acceleration and torque with belt driven. But you’ll get a more minimal, quieter, and simpler build with hub motors. I’d like to make a hub motor vs belt driven video in the future 👍🏻

[@ripetoad]

Just curious, why use a pulley system for giving power to the wheels as opposed to just having the motor drive the wheels themselves?

[@MikeBeard]

Belt driven systems have better torque and braking power than Hub motors.

[@ripetoad]

Dang that was the fastest response time I've ever seen. Another question, how does braking work with electric boards? Sorry if you answered that in another video, I've yet to check out all of them.

[@MikeBeard]

The polarization of the motor is reversed which creates resistance to the spinning motor which then slows you down.
