Building and riding an electric skateboard
I just found a really good, comprehensive, and understandable discussion of hub motors (specifically for ebikes) on the UBC Electric Bike Club's site. Actually the whole site is worth reading.
The good news is the 3WDM has made the front page of Skateboarding Sucks. The bad news is it's tagged as Stupid Shit and Useless Toys. Damn, skateboarders can be harsh!
Well, as they say, bad publicity is better than no publicity. And what is exactly is a skateboard if not a "Useless Toy"?
