I was inspired by your electric scooter conversion and built a similar toy. Just wanted to say keep up the good work. And here is my first of many toys to come. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXfEGPAbhWE&context=C362720cADOEgsToPDskKZSPvdZlr6SNXTNsV5r2vp Best regards Hi Jerome..

Hello Jim,
I have come to Taiwan,
I too appreciate you enthusiasm for electric skateboard,
I recently wanted to do four electric skateboard,
Brushless TURNIGY issue cards only 800W,
I can not improve its speed,
Currently only the beta version of Internet 32KM / H,
I want to change to 50KM / H,
I installed two 800W speed or not 50KM / H,
I was still not enough amperage to the low voltage,
I hope you can recommend to me a few powerful brushless reference
Thank you for sharing expertise.

Jérôme, WOW félicitations !! Vos projets sont vraiment cool. Je suis arrivée complètement par hasard sur votre site. Je cherche depuis quelques mois des idées de projets a faire avec mes élèves. Pour faire une histoire longue courte : je suis une ingénieure qui a pris la décision d'enseigner ! ( je fais présentement une maitrise à U de Sherbrooke !)Je donne un nouveau cours de techno plus en secondaire 5. Je cherche des projets a faire avec ma classe (presqu'uniquement de gars !!!)J'ai la chance d'enseigner dans un collège privé alors j'ai quand meme un budjet pour des projets. Depuis juillet que je cherche des projets. Assez difficile : ils sont bons mais, pas trop cher et surtout pas trop long non plus ! Entouca si vous avez des idées ??? ou suggestion de sites ??? Nous avons un chapitre génie chimique, un génie mécanique et un génie électrique ! Bravo et lache pas ta passion ! Merci Josée Deschesnes Bonjour M. Jérôme,

Interestingly my reasons are not far off your own for using them. Recently i have been trying to build up the mother of all electric bikes. I already have one hard tail MTB kitted out with a 1000w rear hub motor. I plan to strip this down and use a scott ransom frame with large coil shock for my mark2 electric bike. progress is good but my big concern at the moment with my first ebike is that the highest gear on the bike doesnt spin fast enough to contribute to extend range and top speed. I have good power in my legs and honestly it can be put to good use cause the ratios are sufficient. secondly the rear cog is a screw on freewheel so the smallest teeth on that i can do is a 12 and that is old technology which is hard to get hold of. I saw the planetary gear picture on your blog and i was very pleased. There is a company called schlumf in switzerland that make what i want but they want 689 swiss francs to up the gear ratio by 2.5x. So my questions are these: where can you buy them and for how much. thanks in advance for your reading this long winded speal let me know what you think kind regards Andy Leigh Hi Jerome,
