      Hello,
      A few weeks ago, I started designing my own custom Onewheel. The design is still a work in progress, but it is coming along well!

      My goal is to use two hoverboard motors mounted face-to-face. Since it was hard to find a reliable 350W motor, I decided to go with a 250W one for now.The small motor on the right is labeled as 350W @ 24V. However, even though its wires are thicker, I find that hard to believe given its size. Because of this, I prefer to trust the motor on the left (250W).

      Machining has officially started! I'll keep you updated on the progress.

        Machining complete. I reduced and polished the diameter to bring it down to Ø126. Even though it’s still not possible to mount the tire on it...

        You have to use brute force.
