Apparently our water heater broke down at work so I got the day off and the weather is awesome so I'm tearing down and prepping the board. I'm surprised how everything lines up pretty good so far. I'm still getting an adapter plate and vibration buffers for the motor mount. The bearings and rims are great. The tires are ok but I'm upgrading to some slimed out, beefed up knobbies. After some lube the brake linkage is really smooth and even the shoes look good. That pretty much leaves me with the hardest part. Figuring out the paint scheme. I'm thinking straight black with hot pink suspension. I'll definitely keep Tigger decal on the front. Seems like a good name for it..Tigger. I received my kill switch and leash.

Looks fun, but super sketchy. I've riddin my long board down steep hills and that gets scary.
I'm glad it has brakes.
I'm thinking it's like my bike. With the engine engaged all the time it won't freewheel very well downhill. I'll figure it out slowly. I stood on it with the wheels. It seems pretty stable and easy to control.
