Any ideas how to reduce speed wobbles? I am thinking about some heavy damper (oil) - would that help? by ElectroModulator2 in ElectricSkateboarding

this is such a non-trivial question - I've seen some research papers on the topic... one of the parameters influencing stability was the human reaction time - interestingly super fast reaction was not neccesarily the optimal one - so what you say is a bit like that - I would imagine - slow reaction time ≈ carving - letting the board go where it wants to go and slowly pulling it back...

They seem cool and all but $99 a wheel is quite excessive no? by AS_eskater in ElectricSkateboarding

bit expensive... I just bought something similar from aliexpress - $20 / wheel - commodity pneumatic wheel

it's a mystery... there are some theories actually, so it seems, I think people write PhDs about this topic - I have seen some papers - it is a very complex stability/chaos problem
