 The motors and controllers are hard to comeby for me, so can i build with dc 12v motors and normal wheel or do i need brushless, what is ideal rpm?
Also i already have a nunchuck so i wanted to use motion plus and nunchuk combo, can u suggest the chages or post a code may be? I cant get head or tail by link you provided.

hey, i just looked at ur 2 self balancing skateboard thingies, and i thought that maybe you could place the dead man's buttons directly on the board itself, so that when you step on it, its pressed, and if u fall off, its off...
it must get painly after some time to keep that button pressed with ur fingers...

Hi,

Yes I have tried that with a button under left foot on older versions. On my nice twin wheeler the deck is all made of batteries so no space for the internals underneath a standard foot switch.
I need to look around and find a slimline pressure transudcer or something I agree.
Going to try using pressure transducers for steering as well. Going to improve steering software first then do that once I am happy with it.

Best wishes

John

have you made a write up for your two wheeled electric skateboard? I had plans of building one of these but my senior project, an electric motorcycle conversion, ended up taking all my time this year.

Sorry for extreme delay!

Yes I have just done an Instructable for the basics of a ride on 2 wheeler for you to modify as you want to.

How did the motorbike go? I am thinking of a mountain bike with hidden batteries all through frame - a sort of "sleeper" maniac ebike.

Best wishes
