I've been working with electric bikes for almost 3 years now and as I was browsing my favorite site looking for new ideas I stumbled upon a electric mountain board and started doing research. I started becoming more and more interested in working with rc motors and finally took the plunge making one for myself.
Board: MBS Comp 95x from MBS Mountainboards.
Motor: Turnigy SK3 6364 from AsiaTees
Sprockets : Scooter sprocket and Motor Sprocket from Electric Scooter Parts
Aluminum pieces: from the scrap yard
The batteries, controller, and throttle were all ordered from AsiaTees
Batteries: Two 22.2v 5Ah lipo batteries.
Controller: 150amp car ESC
Throttle: Wireless 2.4 ghz
Other parts: Wire, electrical tape, wire connectors, nuts and bolts, zip ties, tie down straps.
Gather your needed parts and supplies. Most important determine which motor you want and what board you want to use. Also you will need these tools. Tools Used: Socket set, Sawhorses, Hacksaw (or equivalent), Hammer, Adjustable wrenches, Hex key wrenches, Pliers, Clamps, Drill and bits, Grinder ( or equivalent), Metal files, Wire stripper, Chain breaker, soldering iron.
After I mounted the drive sprocket to the wheel I installed the motor side sprocket and the chain. ( NOTE* You need to grind down a flat spot on the motor shaft so that the set screw has a flat surface to lock down on.) Also check for chain alignment before tightening down the set screw.
