Want to turn your regular skateboard or longboard into an electric ride? This is the core piece you need – a powerful 250-watt brushless hub motor kit. It's a single motor setup (you get two hub motors in the kit) that's perfect for DIYers looking to build or upgrade their electric skateboard.
The specs are solid: 36-volt system, hits a top speed of about 15 km/h (9.3 mph), and can handle riders up to 220 lbs. It's got decent torque for climbing hills (up to a 20-degree angle) and features electronic braking. The motors are quiet (around 55db) and have an IP44 waterproof rating, so a little rain or puddle won't kill them.
Heads up: This is just the motor kit. You'll need to supply your own deck (under 35.4 inches long), a 36V battery (4.4Ah to 7.8Ah), a speed controller, and a remote. It’s a project, but if you're handy, it's a super fun and rewarding way to build a custom e-skate. Great for adults and older teens. Installation does require some assembly.
