So when I show up with it at work and lock it up beside all the bikes with coffee holders and rear view mirrors it will look just that much more dominant.

Slowly making progress. The head tube and bottom bracket showed up
And went through the slow and tedious process of taking the 3D Sketchup drawing and then making 2D templates I can use to cut out the shapes. And had to then make them in AutoCAD so I can print them off at work.
@laynehip- i take it you dont have access to solidworks? its quick to do flat patterns in that by making them as sheet metal features
about that skateboard of yours...what you using to gear down the motor? i saw some chains and a box lookin thing so its obviously a reduction gearbox, im more just interested on how you made it and if its really noisy or not.
im using a Tangent drive on my bike, it sounds like a tiny little chainsaw. i recon its pretty cool, but its certainly not stealth.

I currently don't (tried to download it a few times to my new computer but ended up with some pretty crazy malware, so currently waiting until I get the courage to try again haha)
So I 3d printed a gear box, you can see it a little better in the picture below (Gears ended up being too big to fit inside the box which is why most of them are on the outside). But it was geared way too low, so I am just going to go straight from motor to axle with only 2 cogs and try that.
how many amps you pulling? is that a little Cast Creations controller on there at the back above your lipo's? looks like you're using a little BMS too? (i can see the balance plugs going into something).
