YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. the motors I uses have pulled cars in other applications,(this is not recomended) why? because the speed contollers can overheat, (this is bad) Example if the fan in your computer stops working what happens? enough said. bye You can order an Altered or ExSkate your other choice is to pony up and buy one of my designs which Start at 1500watts-which is 3 times more powerful than a 500watt board.

This is 3 times more power than any electric skateboard in current production. contact info; scottwatson42@comcast.net Andelayskateboard at the most powerful on the planet, in a post above dude wants one, not a problem we designed them for to be fast strong and can carry 300 pounds, The smallest model is 2 horsepower or 1,500 watts.

I think it is a great idea to show everyone what I designed 9 years ago. The Electric Skateboard has not broken down, I have not had to replace the batteries in 6 years, I refuse to build junk, in the video I will be showing a 30 Horsepower PHEV skateboard, and the 2 horsepower electric skateboard, all my designs use dual or triple battery packs, at 24 volt or 48 volt systems, REAL MONSTERS. If you are in the Bellevue/Seattle, Washington State Area and wish to be part of the video production let me know, looking for fun places to carve up, share your ideas, time to carve.

This is obviously completely different from pulling a 1500+ lbs. animal horizontally, especially if it is pulling against you. However, you should win a "vertical" tug of war, as per the specifications of horsepower.

Mine is a piece of crap, dead on arrival, and out of warranty. Sounds like you did OK with your Exkate. Mine is a piece of crap, dead on arrival, and out of warranty.
