Building electric skateboards

It's been a hobby of mine since college, building and riding electric skateboards, and a great way to unwind on the weekend and interact with the community. There are tons of Facebook groups dedicated to group rides and discussing different products and boards. I particularly enjoy the engineering aspect of customizing a board, taking them apart, figuring out how it works and putting it back together in a new way.
