I build an electric longboard with a power tool batteries

During the summer of 2022 I decided to build an electric skateboard for myself using a standard longboard and the novelty of using to Milwaukee M18 Lithium ion batteries commonly used in power tools. I also manufactured a double axle for the front truck, as the original smaller wheels got stuck when driving over storm drains.This longboard was able to reach speeds of 55 km/h.

• Pintail Longboard

• Flipsky 6374 E-Board motor

• 15 Tooth 10mm D-Shape pulley

• 2x Milwaukee M18 Red Lithium XC5.0 Power Tool batteries

• Flipsky FSESC4.20 50A Speed Controller

• Flipsky VX2 Pro remote

• 36 Tooth ABEC wheel pulley

• 285mm Belt

• 7.5mm Aluminium sheet

• Battery Level indicator

• Power button with fuse

• Thin Aluminium sheet

• M4 & M5 Nuts and Bolts

• XC60 Connectors

• Wires


The machinery I used:

• Waterjet

• TIG Welder

• Milling machine

• 3D Printer
