Motor on the Longboard whoaa

[BigFly]

After seeing some people with these motorized skateboards i kind of wanted to try and make one. Does anyone know the best types of motors electric/gas? I would prefer an electric one but I am not sure if i could get it too fast with an electric. Well first off what are the advantages of electric over gas, and vice versa. Secondly does anyone know how to make either a strong electric or gas motor? is it possible to get this board up too 20-30mph?

Take an old jetski apart ;-) Mount it on the bottom and build a hand, trigger throttle.

I would recommend conducting some research on the different types of motors available for a motorized skateboard. Electric motors are typically more efficient and environmentally friendly compared to gas motors, but they may not provide as much power. On the other hand, gas motors may be more powerful but they can also be noisy and emit harmful emissions.

If you are looking to make a strong electric motor, it may be possible to achieve speeds of 20-30mph with the right components and design. It would be important to consider factors such as the voltage and wattage of the motor, as well as the weight and aerodynamics of the skateboard itself.

I would also suggest consulting with experts or experienced individuals in the field of motorized skateboards to gather more information and guidance on the best approach for your project. Safety should also be a top priority, so make sure to carefully research and follow all necessary precautions and regulations when building and using a motorized skateboard.
