Max Speed (that I'm comfortable with): 21 mph

Estimated Range: 8 miles

Hill-Capable: Yes

Description:

This is my first electric skateboard build, but I will try my best to showcase my process. The goal of this build was to create a means of transportation that can conquer the hills of campus and get me to class on time. I just think it would be nice to enter the lecture hall without sweating and panting profusely. I hope this inspires you to build your own, or even branch out to other similar projects like an electric bicycle or drones. Please ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
