PARTS I USED FOR THIS BUILD: geni.us/tHgNyX
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.

Make an electric mountain board!!

@fiercewolvestv9702 6 лет назад

Please make a full tutorial making a electric longboard like from begining to end and show us how to make an Mboard with a drop through deck also do not speed up the video I am begging you please. P.S. if I sound desperate it is because I really would apreciate it and need it. Thanks!!!

Really cool board, I'm making an electric longboard right now

@ARS_21 6 лет назад

I made my own normal sized electric longboard but since it’s very flexible, the case attached in the bottom is slowly coming off. I have used screws to keep it in place. What could I possible do to fix it?

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

I would honestly switch decks. That’s one of the downsides to flexible decks

@maximoblazquez3083 2 года назад

Thank you! Great Tutorial, definitely going to build one myself. One questions though, how would you make a budget enclosure without a vacuum sealer?

@Movesmedia 6 лет назад

Great videos man! You're builds are unreal. I was wondering if you've done any builds with a Boosted Board battery? I just got an extended range battery for my Boosted Board and wanted to connect my old original battery to a smaller board. Any idea if this is possible or how I would go about doing this? Thanks!

@germanviavattene4831 6 лет назад

You make the best electric skateboard videos of all youtube :). I wish my country had all the parts or at least let me buy everything without custom problems ... greetings from Argentina :)

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

@SilentSoloTraveler 6 лет назад

Nice work mike. I just got one question. Do you have the enclosure for the batteries for the penny board on your website? I don't really have the tools to make my own enclosure.

@einschmock5004 6 лет назад

hey do you still sell the MBoard as a whole customisable board on your website? im really not that great at working with elektronics and such (even though your totorials are super awsome) so the option to buy a board with all the specs i want in it seems really really interesting to me.

@drewdarnel233 6 лет назад

When you said cheep I was thinking like $150. The esc is $110

@King.Ambrose 3 года назад

I know that kind of sucks but honestly any board that is that cheap will only get you like 10 (very slow and short) uses I’m speaking from personal experience. 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.

@GAMEVUEG 3 года назад

@@King.Ambrose I built my own with a $50 ESP, So no these prices are not all right. You can even find cheaper than that on Aliexpress. I believe he has a partnership with Mboard. That is why this is that expensive

@Chinhnguyen0497 3 года назад

it will be cheap if you take the risk buying parts from china. i tried a few searches after watching this video. it cost around $170 for the kit

@GAMEVUEG 3 года назад

@@Chinhnguyen0497 No bro I have built many last years. And where you have to be careful is when buying batteries from china. I advice you to build your own. But you must know that these parts he is showing such as the ESP. They are from China 😂, I can even give you the link to the real china seller.

@Seba112PL 5 лет назад

How are tires doing on these hub motors doing after some time? Im asking because i want to make AWD skateboard using this motors but my only concern is these PU tires. Can you change them ?

@youbadcop 5 лет назад

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?

@marcusgay5315 6 лет назад

hey, does this setup handle hills well? Im thinking of making it but where I live has a lot of steep hills.

@fabbym4160 4 года назад

This is a great video! I just had a question...can this board go uphills?

@haojunyang7883 6 лет назад

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.

@Moostery 6 лет назад

Are there any good ESC's for 4 motors? I'm looking in to building my own electric mountain board some day and I want each tire to have a motor.

@masterminded78 6 лет назад

Sweet board. I was wondering though: 1: Are you able to skate around on that board with the motor off? 2: Is the motor moving two wheels or does it move all four wheels? I was wondering if you can make the motor move all of the four wheels or why move just the two wheels?

@bruhtwist4166 6 лет назад

Does the reverse mode on the controller act as a break? If not do you know anyways to apply a break to the board

@sierra3139 6 лет назад

On your MBoards website you sell a Dual Belt Drive 1400W 5055 Motor Kit. Would this kit work well with the Dual Belt Driven Motor ESC that is also sold on your website? How fast would it go with 2x 5000mAh 5S 30C lipo batteries? I'm just looking to build something affordable.

@lukenns7856 6 лет назад

Hey Mike, totally new to this... what's an ESC? How much did this build cost? thanks

@navebaron7023 5 лет назад

If I’m going to use it 7 inch trucks with with 83 mm wheels with the same deck is going to be to big for your opinion?

@slitwrist361100 6 лет назад

Where can I find ESC and where can I get the wheels and the battery if you don't mind telling me

@bruhtwist4166 6 лет назад

Would the 10s3p battery that you sell also work for this board and would there be any other issues if I used that battery?

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

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.

@JonathanVaucher 5 лет назад

If I build by own battery (I have 20 cells of sony VTC4 and a 10S 45A BMS) and already have a 36V charger and a deck with truck and wheels. How much would it cost for the dual hub on trucks, ESC and remote ???

@henryermi5320 6 лет назад

Hey Mike! The esc and the battery I ordered do not connect together properly even after I bought the xt-90 connectors to go along with it. is there something I am doing wrong?

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

Hmm, if you attached the XT-90 connectors I’m not sure why the XT-90s wouldn’t fit together. Shoot us an email: support@mboards.co if you still can’t figure it out 👍🏻 We are always down to help.

How does the balancing (when charging) of the battery cells works with that setup? Can't see a balancing circuit included there..

@tricallyourmama 10 месяцев назад

Yo mike I noticed a lot of people using power drill batteries. Would the motor be able to work with the power drill batteries? Let’s assume all the connectors are good to go

@Berniz123 6 лет назад

Hey, I didn't go through all the comments but I couldn't seem to find the answers to the most important questions, so let me ask 🤔: 1. Average range expected? 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 😊🤯 I hope you can answer all these questions for me, doesn't have to be on the dot exact values... But some estimates would be great as I'm considering this built... Thanks man! 🌟🌟🌟

@CarraigButler 6 лет назад

the top speed is 17mph the range is about 10 miles the charger comes with the battery total cost $520 charging time about two hours the enclosure isn't on his website yet, however, the enclosure that I made is 3d printed so I wouldn't take it off-roading.

@johnvincentleibrick 4 года назад

@@CarraigButler is there something I have to keep in mind if I wanted to increase the battery power on it? Quite new to electric skateboard and bought one recently. So was wondering could I buy a bigger battery to increase the range and the speed on this? Or does the battery power have to match with something on the board?

@TEKKENEnterMyDragon 6 лет назад

I really really want some boards that are like this! May I know how fast and far this can get? I own a koowheel mini which is super slow like 9mph tops since it is single hub, but I really love the shape and weight of my board which is exactly the same as shown in this video because I commute to train station everyday and longboard are just too big and heavy for me to carry/put behind my bag! Do you have any idea how to upgrade my koowheel mini and make it dual hub to be faster?

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

I’d say this does at least 20mph. And range of 7-10 Miles

The battery in this board and the ones he sells do have a battery management system, and they come with a charger

@xiaohongchen7182 5 лет назад

Can you use this build with the actual 22’ penny board (penny Australia) or is it not possible? The wooden board you used in this video is a few inches more.

@MikeBeard 5 лет назад

It’s possible. You just have to try a little harder to get everything mounted underneath 👍🏻

@gerardpablo1993 6 лет назад

Hey Mike do you think I should invest my money in recreating this build or am I better of buying the new boosted board mini s? I would be using it as my main transportation in college so it would have to be pretty reliable. Thanks!

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

Both options will be great for getting around campus. The Boosted Board Mini ships in 8-10 weeks so if you are willing to wait it is a good option. If you want a board in the next 2 weeks or so then DIY might be the way to go

@fernandoloizides 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video! Was wondering, (maybe i missed his info) a) how long the battery would last and b) what weight you recommend for decent speed/torque with this setup.

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

I estimate the range to be about 7-10 Miles. I weigh 160lbs and it goes pretty quick. I’m sure someone heavier than I am would be just fine on it 👍🏻

@fernandoloizides 6 лет назад

Fantastic, thank you for the fast reply! Keep up the good work!

@olliekenny4704 6 лет назад

the esc that you use, can you use it for just one motor (belt motor)

@TheGreenMachine22 6 лет назад

Do they have a smart ESC for just a regular pulley motor? So I would not have to use the power switch and also get the remote at the same time? That would make it so much easier for my build

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

Yes, there is a belt motor option on the website 👍🏻

@notme8620 4 года назад

Bro i have a board but with the wheels,isnt there any way so i can make this electric board without extra motors?

@Kaister 6 лет назад

Would you recommend using this smart ESC on a 6374 motor, or is it better to go with a VESC from diyelectricskateboard.com? My buying options are rather limited due to shipping to South Africa.

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

Both would work. Just depends on if you want to program it or not. If you want to program it the Vesc is better

@Kaister 6 лет назад

I don't necessarily want to program it, but I've heard a lot of stories about these smarts ECS's limiting the current. This is for a longboard build and I need to go up some rather steep hills in my area.

@MikeBeard 6 лет назад

Esc is rated for 50a continuous and 120a peak just like VESC. But is is possible. Not sure how to test it

@Kaister 6 лет назад

Banger67 He put a link in the description to all the parts he used, but you could also get it one eBay. Just search 'electric skateboard esc' remember to specify between hub and pulley at the checkout.

@jakedenecochea3473 6 лет назад

Personally, I would recommend the VESC. You will want the available customization. Especially if you are going at higher speeds, it will be worth it. If you are able, I highly recommend it.
