What Motor set up would you pick? Why? We’d love to hear 😎

I love how informative you are and that you stick to the point. Much respect for you my dude

i love how honest you are.

Very helpful video thanks for the info. I appreciate the replaceable wheel skin, for a downhill or freeride skater the wheel can be much smaller after a day of skating. If a race on a motorized skateboard is anything like downhill you could have some sick burnout drift races. Also some induro aspects to long distance races. Regenerative braking for charging the battery? Very interesting prospects.

Great video really helped me understand what im getting into

Thanks for the showcase in motors. I'm curious if you have thought of the magnet length inside the motors? There are long motors which aren't intended for skateboard use but people shoehorn them in for powerful braking and regen. ie. Instead of 6355 its 63 and the length is 80 really weird but it works with wide trucks

Excellent! Informative, succinct, easy to understand, even for a non-techie.

Looking at making my own longboard thank you for the information this definitely will help me.

thanks for the information

thank you so much for this video

Apreciate this video so much Mike! Just as many of your other videos, you do so well on making it simple and easily understandable. I just have one doubt. I am making an e-mountainboard, considering lower kv makes for better torque, will a 140kv 6374 motor, 8 inch wheels with an Mboards 10s 3p give me good hill climbing performance?

So useful, thanks for these breakdowns of parts

Good stuff motivates me to get started

Finally good content on esk8 DIY. Subbed for my future project. :)

Excellent video,, very educational!

This video is exactly what i was after. Thank you

Great video😎

Excellent video. Looking to build my first DIY (already have meepoV2) I think you have made my decision on belt motors 👌🏼

Will a single 270kv motor go up a decent hill?

Hey man this is a great video... I am a mechanical engineering student trying to make my own board. However I am not that great at eletrical stuff and I would like to know how to get the appropriate battery (and which type) for the motor we have chosen. I know there's big differences between lithium ion, lipo batteries but considering i want range and speed as well how do I chose what kind of battery and how many of them (lithium ion) would I need to be able to get enough power out of them to get to specific speeds. I knew my question is weird I just hope you understand it. Great video btw from a scientific point of view it helps a lot when you want to get a lot more technical.

I subscribed just because you put so much work into every video thank you :)

Ur so nice,you’re worrying about us underwhelming

Perfect video 🔥🔥😍. I got a motor laying around that has perfect size but 530kv. Do you guys think it wouldn't be that great for a build?

Hello Mike, I'm interested in motorizing my quad skates. It all depends on what motor fits under my plate.

awesome video!! great job. I mean you already told us these informations, but a seperate video with it is better and the informations are more understandable

Is that a stoke in the background?? Bloody love my stoke!!

That was super helpful!

Thank you for this briefing. Lot of useful information for some new like me. I'm in the process of converting a mountain board for street use.

Excellent video !!!

Really appreciate the video. This was exactly what I was looking for. I have a Lacroix Jaws 2.0 with stock 6389 190 kv motors but need new motors and trying to figure out which way to go. Currently belt driven but planning to put on the Boardnamics M1-AT Gear Drive. When you say 2 types of motors; Belt and hub motors. The belt motors include the gear drives and not only the belt drives, yes? Any idea which motors would be equivalent to my currents as far as speed, torque, range, price, sound? And which would you recommend if I wanted to go to the next step up motor? I'm currently looking at the Flipsky 6384 190kv motors. Thank you!

Can you do a video on hoverboard motors and the vesc tool

very nicely explained

excellent information, thank you

Does anyone know any good hubmotors for an either 9s4p or 12s3p battery with 3.7v per cell?

Hey, I watch a lot of your videos, and I wanted to build one too..... my basic needs are 1 I need to conquer hills 2 need long range 3 I need to go fast The order above is 312

Hey, this was very helpful. Thank you

Clean video really nice!

Could you make a video about VESCTool? Not about how to set it up, there are enough of those. But all the other settings in the tool. There is so much to customise, but there are no tutorials.

What if we equip both speed motor and torque motor and use only one at a time. We can switch on remote control for which motor to run according to requirements. Lol.

Well done bro. Good advice.

So i have a possway v4, im trying to upgrade the wheels. Can i put 83mm hub motor into a 90mm pu sleeve?

I need a NEW MOTOR for my 20v DEWALT STRING TRIMMER 1st Gen

im building a rc art piece that im looking to upgrade the drivetrain to these. can i use rc batteries with these motors or are they not rated for this level of discharge?

Are the belt driven boards louder because of the belt or because of the high rpm of the motor? At what rpm does the motor become audible to bystanders? Hate when people are looking at me because my board makes so much noise.

I was surprised you didn't mention 4 belt driven motors for off road boards. I've seen a few 4wd boards and they look cool.

Question: you’re mentioning KV rating and how it relate to motor description/classification…what if you see a classification in watts…such as 800w….1300W and so on. How do you evaluate those?

Thank youuuuuu 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Looking to build a jet surf board, do you know anything about the motors they use, I hear they can use skateboard motors...280kv? I would assume larger better.?....I’m very ignorant about motors,controllers,batteries etc, but have built several boards, and boats😬

How do you wire 2 motors parallel (wirelessly) to one signal from a remote?

Thanks for putting this info out there

Ty for the info🤙

Which is better for speed and torque both high

Should I get a sensor-ed or sensor-less???

do these have regenerative breaking or would they be too inefficient on drag? like would it work only downhill? Or would you be able to coast on flat without any? because it seems like you should literally be able to push it back to 100% lol.

Very interesting. My board has hub , 3000 watt total,35 kph 25 k range, and goes up 25 percent hill. I would like more speed and keep the hill climbing. Looking around at options it seems to be a case of gain on one and pay with another. On the sound side of things, I just love my Razor longboard. It may only be 120-watt gear drive but that sweet turbine-like scream, the best. My 3000 watt total is a Black Hawk Electric Pro series V3.

Which direct drive motor has the least wheel rotation resistance without power (eg. Battery goes totally flat) so that I can continue to push / pump like a normal skateboard?

Would you recommend getting a cheap £15 cruiser board and wheels. Then spend a decent amount on the electric components fix it on the board? im looking for in between torque speed and noise

Can you have a quad hub motor set up?

Okay my question to you guys For somebody who weighs over 400 lb I was thinking about all-wheel drive electric board that's for sure longboard so I can put some extra batteries on it I would like to know what will be the prices on motors for belt driven Will be a better option for me because I could change the size of the wheels when I need you

This helps I recomend this.

Hello. Great video. So i have been wanting an electric skateboard sins I first saw that they existed (never even been able to try one sadly) so I have been wanting to convert my Globe Bantham Cruiser which is really short. So i was wondering if you think it even possible when its that short and also made of plastic? And if yes would the Hub or Belt be better? I do want to add that its only for asphalt driving, want to be able to go uphill but dont have to go super fast up 😆 also can i buy which ever battery, controller etc or if I need to make sure its compatible what should I look for? Would really appreciate the help 😁

Super informative 👌🤙

Thanks for answering my question

Excellent video.

Thanks man

Great video! One question. Why do the range deceases with two motors? battery? if it is that, would it be solved by making the battery bigger? Thanks for the tutorials!

nice!!!

If I already have an electric board but it sucks on hills, is there a simple way I could just change the motor and keep the same battery?

can u post a video about the controller and other stuff regarding the brain of the board it would be helpful

Hey man, can you make a video explaining how to use the BLDC tool to configure a VESC? I think this is kind of a grey area that hasn't been covered yet.

O my god my name is Mike beard also.you just got a new subscriber

Can I use a brushless drone motor for a electric skateboard ? Please tel me ❤️❤️

Thank you. This was the first video ive watched describing the meaning of different numbers on motors and facts about difference between hub and belt. Now im ready to start buying parts for my diy.

Hey, i liked you detailed video but got some queries. Can 6374 180kv/6384 120kv motor be used for quadcopter rather than skateboard? can you please explain how much cogging torque they have? Can they be modified into diy digital Servo motor using encoder.?🤔

I’m just trying to upgrade my exway atlas motor instead of buying same thing but keep exway quality factor or better

where can I find belt motor with barrel plugs?

Is anyone still around to give some advice?? I'm looking at resurrecting an old electric scooter and thinking of popping a 4000w 6384 motor in there. At 36W a 4000w motor will draw 111A which is far too much for the battery I will be using. Am I best off limiting the current draw to something like 70A or buying a smaller 6368 motor that is 1750W?

Do you know if there is anyway I could swap out the hub motors on my halo board and replace them with dual belt motors without having to get a new ESC and a new battery?

Question, I have a liftboard single Motor and want to replace the Motor to something more powerful and faster. Is this possible? Please help.

Is the dual 70mm hub motors compatible with 36v battery? And is a battery 108Wh (36v,3Ah) strong enough to drive a single 5055 belt motor?

Have you got any details on the sensor wires how they work and what they do

Can the motor work for any esc

Now... If I mount 2 motors, 1 with high torque and the other one higher top speed will they complement each other? The torque will pull at low speed, and the fast one will drag the slow one once it reaches higher speeds... right?

Do you know where I can buy replacement wheels for a hub motor I want to upgrade it to all terrain wheels .

This is great but what about motor watts? I've seen high motor watts with a low KV rating and lower motor watts with higher KV rating.

Can I connect a dual motor esc to a single motor, i will upgrade to 2 down the road but I don't want to buy different esc and batteries etc.

Make a video in bms and charger set up

If you already have a Longboard then belt or chain drive is better, but if you are building it new then I'd go with hubs.

hey dude, pls link a vid where u run at least 3 min at full speed with 200 KV

Hi . I need a motor that has a minimum speed of 1000 RPM and high torque and operates 12v or 24v DC . What do you advise me and thank you

Belt the best

Hey Guys, i was really confused! I choosed a 270KV Motor. The description Said it has 1800W. But it does Not say its the Max. Power. Now i know it has less W but i dont know how much.

What happen if drone motor 1400kv motor is used can it run

Seriously awesome videos dude, this was an instant subscribe for me! How important is wattage of the motor? The 6374 on your site has Max. Power: 3250W The 6374 on another site has Max Power of 4000W

Can 3d print the brackets for the mortars

Id love you option on specs/price of the 2020 Verreal rs Thank you :)

Nice video man! 😎 Hub motors are great but they are not for everyone! I literally ruined mines in two weeks! I ride a lot on sidewalks and the gradings make the urethane come loose after a while. They also get noisy if you ride on wet surfaces as they rust out, they get too hot and lag sometimes at low speed. Belt drive is just the best! Beside broken belt and cost, (noise isn't a big deal), it kills hub motors. More torque, more speed (handles better 12S), freedom on other parts such as gear ratio, wheels (types and sizes), ability to configure the VESC (you decide how strong the brake is, how powerful the board is, etc ). For the motor choice (for belt drive), it depends on: * the battery you want to use: 6s - 10s (190KV and above >), 10s - 12s (190KV and below

I love motor conversations lol

I’m about 225lbs going with dual belt motors and 12s battery but can’t decide on which motors would move my weight the best ... I’d like a top speed of 25mph I was thinking the 6374 180kv ... help please🤷🏽‍♂️

Ou je peux avoir le kit complet svp merci
