Review on 🛹 High-Quality Electric Skateboard Motor Mount for Caliber II Trucks - Ideal for DIY Enthusiasts by Brent Gurney

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Will not work for a number of reasons

The bracket is very nicely made but there are a number of issues that render it unusable: The motor pulley is not aligned with the wheel pulley and so the belt tries , either to enter the wheel or from the pulley itself. 2) Standard gauge trucks do not have axles long enough to mount a wheel with a pulley attached. You can try hollowing out the pulley so it will sit over the aluminum truck, but then the belt tension will twist the bearings in the wheel and cause a lot of friction and eventually bearing failure. If you're determined to make it work you'll need to cut off part of the truck to reveal more of the axle, which is doable but certainly not easy. If you don't have access to actual crafting tools, I would suggest staying away from caliber trucks to assemble an electric skateboard.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Only available in white
