Today we researched about the parts to create the electric skateboard. Some videos that we watched to help us are down below. We are currently searching for a motor, an ESC (electrical speed controller), and a battery.
Some pros include:
- helps to commute
- saving money
- helps the environment
- you can customize your skateboard
Some cons include:
- cost of items
- difficulty creating the skateboard
- a lot of research
- it can explode if not built properly
This is a website that we used to help us get more information about the parts we need, https://electricboardsolutions.com/blogs/building-an-esk8/diy-esk8
We watched these videos to better understand the components we would need and what to look for when buying the pieces to our electric skateboard.
