Lead Acid Cruiser Electric Skateboard
Wanted to build a lead acid powered electric skateboard to see how it compares to modern eskates. Three 12v 9ah SLA AGM batteries wired in series to produce a 36v nominal pack. They are not deep-cycle batteries. Cheap dropdown deck, 83mm wheels. Powers a single 500W belt drive motor. Range tested to 12km. Custom 3D printed ‘battery brick’ to house the batteries

Sodium Ion Electric Mountainboard
This is the world’s first Sodium Ion powered electric skateboard. There is zero lithium in the battery! I needed an All-Terrain mountainboard for skatepacking; I thought I’d combine it with a custom-build 12S1P 32140 Sodium Ion battery, to evaluate it as a PEV power source. Shaboardz MTN board, 36v drivetrain, 8” pneumatic wheels
