Traditionally, electric longboards are big, heavy, and expensive. In this video, I show you how to turn a tiny skateboard into a fully electric ride using affordable parts from Amazon. The result is an ultra-lightweight, portable board that’s small enough to fit in a backpack. Everything you need to build it is linked below.
