    Today I tackle a much requested project. Many of you guys have been asking me to make a DIY Electric Penny Board. Today I do just that. A perfect DIY electric skateboard project for budget builds and beginners. Very easy to put together. I've built a ton of DIY Boosted Boards but this one is much different. Super small and very convenient.

    I own a loud board 3.0. It's also a 2 hub motor configuration but so much quieter, almost dead silence. Can you configure your ESC to make it run on a different mode, so that you don't hear that speeding up / brake noise?

  • @haojunyang7883
    @haojunyang7883 6 лет назад +2

    How is the accelerating and braking like? These two are pretty important factors. A good board doesn't only mean it can run fast but also lot more considerations to provide a safe and comfortable experience. And I think this built also cost as much as a mature electric board on the market. The parts are twice of the after market price, way to expensive.

      Like a good ESC usually cost anywhere between $69-$100
      These really are the cheapest options for an electric skateboard to be used by an adult it sucks though.

      It would work :) just be sure to measure your deck and compare to the dimensions of the battery to be sure it will fit under the deck. The batteries are identical in voltage, the 10s3p just has a higher capacity so it will work just the same with all of the other electronics.

    2. Total avg cost expected?
    3. Top speed?
    4. Charging time and where did you get the charger from?
    5. Will the enclosure break if you'll jump a pavement with it scraping? Doesn't look solid but I'm a novice so hey.. Can be wrong 😊🤯
