450 watt motor with 24 volts, 40" board with normal skateboard wheels. Wireless hand-held throttle.

500 Watt TNC motor. Pneumatic tires for a smoother ride on a large homemade skateboard. Has snowboard foot straps.

Both are fast, and easy to carry on a bus.

Re: Cyboard

I meant links for this "Cyboard". All I can find is info about the casterboard, nothing about an electric skateboard.

15mph for $500? Weak. I do 25mph for $150. Not exactly smooth, though. Crappy wheels.

Re: Cyboard

There is no link at this time.

But, as I hear it, it has 4WD, traction control and ABS
with throttle-by-wireless and regen.
It is baselined with NimH as they are more rugged
in the regen mode verses liOn. The controller is
not confirmed at this time. A variety of trucks are offered.

PS. E-glide has nice Goodyear wheels for sale.
Kinda expensive, but, high quality. They are
about the same as the chinese wheels I run.
I can recommend them for coarse asphalt.

Re: Cyboard

Four wheel drive? NiMH batteries standard? Twenty bucks says this thing costs over a grand.

I think I've seen those wheels. Aren't they like $125 a set? Yeesh. My whole board barely cost that. An I only need two. Gotta scrounge around the thrift store for some semi-pneumatic casters or something that I can fit with new bearings.
