Electric Longboard

Chagrin:

rutierut:
Voltage Range: 20-48v
Non Load Current: 2.0A
Maximum Power: 6500W

6500W is about 8HP and would send that board at absurdly fast speeds. A well-trained athlete, for a short duration, is capable of about 250W of power. If you're running at the recommended 20V minimum you shouldn't need more than a 30A ESC.

The practicality of loading enough batteries onto the board to provide that motor with enough power to meet its needs is also a consideration. Even at 30A you're going to need a crapload of batteries.

Yhea i knew it would be a little bit too much but i thought it was better to have a overpowered motor instead of a underpowered one. One of the other cons is that it's a little bit to big, it fits underneath the board but i only will have a few centimeters left so i'll have to come up with something else. But i did really underestimate the capacity of the batteries, i thought i had seen a 100Ah battery for 30$ but that seems impossible looking at the prices now. Do you think i would be better of selling this one and trying to find another?
