Open source electric longboard with 3d Printed parts

thingiverse

The "PEX board" is an open source electric longboard project that anyone can build without special skills, just basic skateboarding knowledge.\r\n\r\nComplete tutorial: http://eboardmaker.com/build-electric-longboard-tutorial/\r\nIt includes all parts and required steps, along with diagrams.\r\n\r\nNote, I didn't design the wheel pulley; instead, I used this model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1719940 (9mm version)\r\n\r\nBudget for mechanical components and electric parts: $220 to $300 (USD)\r\nBudget for a longboard with adapted wheels, trucks, and deck: $80 (USD)\r\nOverall budget: $300 to $380 (USD)\r\nBuild time: 4 hours to one weekend.\r\nTheoretical speed of my current setup: 35km/h - Effective speed with my settings: 25km/h\r\nTheoretical range of my current setup: 25km / Effective range: I need to gather data before giving a number.\r\n\r\nIt takes me a lot of time and beer to design these parts from scratch. If you can't buy my time, at least help with the beers on http://paypal.me/supportp3x.
