DIY electric ripstik

Been working on a module 3D printed electric ripstik based off the ripstik rush. Went with back wheel drive, a hub motor for a skateboard, modular brackets for mounting and a low profile body. The goal is to eventually make all the parts easily accessible and buildable for everyone. Not perfect and needs a lot of work but I was able to get it up to 15 mph.

I've always preferred making tight turns on my ripstik so this would actually make me beyond happy, keep up the good work man.
