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.
