ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD 2018

Summer 2018, Personal Project

I designed and built an electric skateboard optimized for cost and comfort to make my campus commutes faster and more enjoyable. 

 

• Designed an axle insert to integrate with OTS motor mount

• 3D printed axle prototype model to test integration

• Performed FEA simulation in Solidworks to determine optimal material for axle

• Curated parts and soldered connections

• Painted bottom side Golden Gate Bridge design

• Hand-cut and arranged top side grip tape design

• Programmed speed controller to limit maximum amperage supplied to the motor

​

Fun Fact: I used a plastic desk drawer organizer as the enclosure by marking and drilling locations of mounting holes and access points before spray painting it black.
