RolluS Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hello all, I'm RolluS (real name Reynald), 35y.o from Paris,France. I've bought a single wheel skateboard from an aliexpress seller some times ago: It's basically a unicycle, but with a board instead of pedals, the riding position is like a snowboard. This thing has a 500W 10" wheel, a 132Wh 60V Li-Ion battery, and a MicroWorks 30B controller. Max speed 25km/h, range 5-10km. I was a little disappointed with the range, so I'm heavilly modding it to allow LiPo installation. I disassembled it: I decided to keep only the motor, controller, bluetooth audio module, and swap everything on a blank deck, with old school in mind: Finally, after some cutting, drilling, screwing, getting a new tire/tube: Then, I've got to install the batteries: two 8S2P 12mAh 2C MultiStar lipos, and that is the point when the project is actually: Remaining: - cuting the frame to allow room for batteries - wiring the power cable/plugs, to allow serial discharging (16S2P), parallel charging (8S4P) ++ Reynald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolluS Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 OK, so I've cut the frame to make room for batteries Their still some room to clear: We can see above and bellow that batteries don't sit comptly on the deck beause it is concave: I will shave the concave part so the deck will be flat. I'm going to remove 1-2mm. The deck is 7 ply, canadian mapple, I think I won't hurt more than a ply. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timpee09 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 they sold these with wooden boards also if i remember correctly...;).. your idea for lifepo upgrade is cool x 2...leave space for the mainboard! Wkr, tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolluS Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thank you I think those with wooden board have a large (read, not thin) wheel. LiPo upgrade should give me about 50 km (31 mi.) range. Here are the progress: I needed a frame to make room for batteries: I've cut the sides: Jusque là ça marche bien! Alors on coupe... I need to polish all his and put hardware (hinges, lock, etc..)

RolluS Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thank you very much! I appreciate it. That's a lot of time and a unique peace of art I think. I'm not an artist, but the work involved here is really too huge to make business with that I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hey @RolluS, how's that one wheeled skateboard working out ? Got any more videos of it in action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolluS Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hi, No, I've been quite busy the last few months. Unfortunatly, I haven't made any progress since summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Oh that's too bad. I was hoping to see some new videos or developments with the skateboard. On a side note, I wonder whether you or @MattJ could take that 10 inch wheel and make your own Gotway Mten EUC from MW parts. I guess it would be tricky to source the correct pedal supports for a project like that though. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
