Wireless Glove-Controlled Electric Mountainboard
This project started in Spring 2011 when I wanted to create a Electric Mountainboard 2.0. Months before, my board stopped working and it turned out the motor controller was damaged. As it turns out, the capacitor was blown out, and the circuit was completely fried. The new version has a revamped casing, can go up to about 12-15 mph with the installation of a stronger motor, and works with a custom-built glove controller.
