Moskate
4,334 Views
The idea of a skateboard with an electric motor is nothing new. In-fact it’s a growing trend within the youth market.
The Moskate (Motor Skateboard) can be fitted to a regular skateboard configuration. With an adjustable mounting plate (fig 2). One wheel bearing is replaced with a sprocket/bearing (fig 1) allowing the drive belt to drive one wheel.
But what makes the Moskate unique is the fact it is remote-less. Shift your weight over the front truck and the motor will accelerate. Shift your weight to the rear, and the motor wires switch to recharge the batteries and slow the board under generation.
Technical stuff:
Motor: High torque 12VDC 600W
Charge system: Super capacitors and NiMH cells
*Note: Apologies for the poor image.
The electrics are possible but can’t be discussed in detail.
Re: Comments. I’m testing the publics honest opinion of this idea, before developing a prototype.
Please leave well constructive comments.
