Electric Longboard

Project Overveiw

For our project we will be using a combination of premade materials and custom builds in order to create an ideal electric long board riding experience, which can be controlled with one hand.

Objectives

The primary objective of this project is to create a functioning electric long board that will be able to travel at moderate speeds for miles at a time. We would also like to create our own hand-held controller using an Arduino and XBee. In the case that we finish early we would also like to potentially add regenerative breaking to our circuit.

Challenges

The challenges we expect to encounter will be creating a reliable Arduino code and circuit build, learning how to soder, and mounting the engine and drivetrain. Also making sure our accelerator is reliable and light.
