I got my DIY electric snowboard build up and running... but I broke it. D'oh! Still, plenty of updates & insights gathered lately, so I thought it was time to show off the completed functional prototype! Well, mostly functional... the motor's broken from a failed test. Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs! You'll also find a 'How To Build' guide linked down below.
Chapters:
00:00 - Whoops I broke it
00:17 - The assembled prototype (sans working motor)
00:54 - What caused the motor failure?
01:13 - New & improved motor mount design
01:45 - Packed snow tread design
02:04 - Traction pad design
02:52 - Drag from bolt heads isn't bad
03:08 - Successful ESC, Esk8 remote, and hub motor integration & testing
03:55 - What's left to do?
