Hello, I was just hoping I could get some help on how to go about building an electric longboard. I need to stay under 200 to 300 dollarsand I was hoping for speeds of 25 mph plus. Any motor sizes and suggestions would be great. I'm guessing something like a 36 volt 600 watt would work. I'm not sure about wether I should mount this on the board or try and find trucks that I can mount it to and how should I get it to turn a wheel. Can I use some sort of esc with a transmitter for speed controll and will this also work for breaking. And what type and size of batteries are going to power this for a while. I guess a step by step would be great. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.
