Pulling 2G’s on a Racing Electric Skateboard

2 timed hot laps of our intro 2 speed Chicago circuit on the Stooge Race Boards V5
Powered by ChiBatterySystems 8s15P
My fastest lap was the first one here - a 26.7

Insanity! It's like that moment when Wayne and Garth met Alice Cooper, "We're not worthy, we're not worthy". People like you change the way the collective unconscious perceive what humans are capable of. You raise the bar and applaud you and encourage you to continue to great things. 🍻 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I can feel it from the video! :-D

Wish you could come ride with us here!

@@davidpilny maybe one day we can host a major race here on this pad with this beautiful view 😍 - dreams

What program do you use to display the speed? 🤙🤙🤙

looks glitchy. wouldn't rely. 2g is 2x your body weight. doesn't sound plausible

[@MorganBrady]

Based on some 3rd person videos, photos, and lean angles… and (rough) math, somewhere between 1-1.5 G does seem to be plausible. I agree the output is glitchy, but it seems plausible to me that since it is mounted so close to the front axle, the momentary G loading on hard turn initiation might actually peak above 2G for a short while. I do not think it’s possible yet for me to sustain any more than a constant 1G or just slightly more. But for short peaks on front axle? Not sure what’s possible… I’m working on better data capture and lap tracking solutions now, so hopefully many things can be learned!

A Porsche 911 GT3 RS will pull 1.24g's your skateboard isnt gonna do 2g's buddy. science says so lol

You should comment on the other comment thread with another guy where we were already starting to discuss this. Would love your thoughts on how to best capture reliable data. In the other thread I hypothesized that for sure constant load it’s extremely hard to pull any more than 1 G or slightly more on this setup. But peak momentary loads on the front axle, I’m curious what those forces look like at a moment of peak compression. I certainly don’t think that a go-pro is the most reliable telemetry devise, but the average numbers (not peaks) seem to be quite accurate to what is reasonable to expect here.
