Why do these tech boards cost a fortune? I would kill of one of these sweet rides. It's lighter than a bike and requires minimal muscle.
Build your own, it's cheaper, more fun.

>riding a skateboard
why not just wear a sign saying you're an autistic NEET manchild desu?
>boosted
I assume you mean it has an electric motor.
>cost a fortune
because stupid people pay as much as you tell them to, and a disproportionately large number of skaters are stupid.
>>>/diy/ has made quite a few electric skateboards, scooters, and whatnot.
There's a number of complications here though: The batteries never last all that long, and you need to be careful as to what kind you're using. LiFePo is used in Chinese ``hoverboards" and cause fires all the time.
If you want to be cool you should also rig it so you can backfeed the batteries by skating normally.

small high power motors
small form factor all around
look at those tiny axles
+150% hip factor
and somehow they last quite a while
that's why

I'm pretty sure the entire thing costs $10 in parts to make. Bamboo wood is the only material that will be hard to find.

Let us known when you source and create it! I'll buy it for $50!
>>53720718
yeah it's not like any money went into the design and manufacturing and marketing of these boards; that stuff is usually free. If you want a different one you can easily buy one from one of their competitors
>>53720718
a single motor alone cost more than that, if you want it to last more than a few meters

Just get an e-bike

They are really useful and less autistic than those wheeled hoverboards
For $1500 you can get a 250cc motorcycle that take you further than 1 mile every 8 hours.

The skateboarders in my town hang out at our local park and all of them have graduated high school and aren't in college
