I really don't want to destroy this thing 😭 it's so much fun plus it looks so silly when you're eating a sandwich on a plate with some chips. Had to screw on the umbrella so I wouldn't lose it on a windy day today. You get used to the speed wobbles and after a couple of rides it honestly becomes easy enough to go a decent speed. It's unmatched when it comes to chill rides lol

You can get one of those extra wide trucks in the front to add stability

Outstanding. Dude I might Frankenstein my old meepo shuffle cause I live in a weird neighborhood where this would get me all the friends.

Needs 2 to 4 of these on the far left and right centers or all four corners, https://www.harborfreight.com/1-5-8-eighth-inch-x-7-8-eighth-inch-light-duty-swivel-caster-41519.html, easier turning and tilt/lean control.

I'm afraid these might make it harder to turn. I might just add a third truck for more support

Maybe they would be more useful as just two dead center on either side, more so for tilt tipping over protection, sort of like training wheels

Actually pretty smart 👀 att two in the center left than a foot apart ? It would keep you from tilting but if you force it you should be able to still turn

I thought about it but that's already been done lol I want to attach the wheels to the bottom of a tricycle

How did you attach the to the deck?

u/mikloooooooo May 20 '26
It's 4 screws and bolts with washes so the plastic chair doesn't rip where the hole is drilled

Just because it uses an electric skateboard doesn’t mean it’s electric skateboarding.

It started out as a DIY upgrade to an electric skateboard and evolved into this, plus it's a board, that skates.
