the stuff you find in skips ... my mate brought me this 36v electric skateboard that he rescued from a skip, also in the same skip was 1 of those garden blower/vacuum type things with knackered bodywork but a great little engine .   had hours of fun on it & only put petrol in it twice  video of 1st time out >> |

first thought: how does it stop?
second thought: yeah but can it drift? lolz
seriously did it take much effort to get the engine on?

how does it stop ? it doesnt. its direct drive, no clutch
just bump it off & go
drifting ? not yet ;D
it wasnt hard to hang the engine. its mounted off the bottom of the rear trucks so it stays parallel with the rear axle while the board is leaning through corners. building adjustment into it so that the belt can be tightened took a bit of thought .
i'm going to make a tuned pipe for it to give it some bottom end grunt, other than that there's been no problems .
i'll post some more detailed pics soon
