While my one E skateboard is in drydock while fitting it for new 36v enclosure, Its 25v enclosure and trucks were sitting off to the side, silently screaming.
I was using the tinier slower esk8 to try and clear.my head, but its just too slow and gutless.
My long pushskate , largely untouched for months now said:
"Psst,....hey I want those hub motors, hook me up!"
The baseplate holes are the same, and it took less than 5 minutes to swap trucks and zip tie, then gaff taoe the 7s2p enclosure to my longskate with thick soft gasket.
So much better than short wheelbase board.
It has to be same speed, but I feel faster.
Cruisy, carvey, comfy, confident .
It just feels rigbt. I carved my way to jelly legs, not pushing once. After a few miles when battery is down and torque and speed dropoing off, charge at 2C with fan blowing over hot hubs and enclosure, and when amps taper to 0.5 or less at 29.4v, unplug and do it again, lather rinse repeat all afternoon.
It needs its own custom flexible battery enosure and jts own electric hub motors, but until then, in between kayak outings , Imma gonna swap componenta back to long skate.
