Trampa-22 1x4 (Hot — 2024)

It is terrible for commuting (you feel every vibration), but incredible for sliding and pivoting around city obstacles. You won't go 30mph, but you will have a smile on your face at 18mph.

Let's address the elephant in the room:

If you’ve been in the DIY electric skateboard game for more than five minutes, you know the name Trampa. Famous for their indestructible mountainboard decks and bulletproof drivetrains, they aren't usually associated with "pocket rockets." Trampa-22 1x4

Because of the 35-degree angle, mounting a motor mount is tricky. You need their specific "Infinity" channel trucks to make it work cleanly. However, if you do it right—slap a single 6374 motor on the back with a small 6S battery—you have created the ultimate "last mile hooligan board." It is terrible for commuting (you feel every

It is incredibly "pumpable." You can generate speed on flat ground just by wiggling your hips. However, at speed (anything over 15mph), it gets sketchy . There is no room for error. A speed wobble on a 40" board is scary; a speed wobble on this deck feels like riding a pogo stick off a curb. Because of the 35-degree angle, mounting a motor

First, let’s talk about that shape. Trampa calls it a "squircle" (square + circle). It’s 15" long and 9" wide. Yes, you read that right.
