“…Currently, there are three main types of Li-ion cells: cylindrical (with 18650 being the most common standard), pouch, and coin cells having different chemistries, unique properties, and being designed for various applications [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. In the literature, a series of research activities in the field of energy storage are presented [8][9][10][11][12], the lithium batteries being one particular case. Nevertheless, different types of batteries are compared and the autonomy of the life cycle of an electric vehicle is evaluated [7].…”

“…All of these can prove to be suitable solutions for commuting to work/school in crowded cities, to explore the neighborhood, or any other trips that do not involve carrying heavy baggage. Ito et al [12], Muenzel et al [28] and Yoo et al [29] investigate the dynamics of the propulsion mechanism of a skateboard using computer simulations based on different lithium-ion battery chemistry. Kuleshov [30,31] followed the linear stability of the skateboard-skater system and develop a model of motion.…”

This paper addresses the possibility of using an electric longboard in daily travel. A conventional longboard was transformed into an electric one and tested in ICSI Rm. Valcea labs. A series of tests were performed both at the laboratory level and, under normal running conditions, outdoors. Nevertheless, two possible scenarios have been taken into consideration. First, when the electric longboard is running on a flat road with a cruise speed, while the second scenario considered was that of climbing a hill with a 10% slope. The results confirmed the expectations and showed that a full charge of the batteries allows a trip over a distance of almost 50 km on a flat route having a consumption of about 10 Wh/km. However, there are some things to keep in mind when making travel distance predictions. The quality and the profile of the road, the weight of the rider, the rider position, all of these are factors which can significantly influence the predictions regarding the travel distance. Moreover, if the optimization is taken into account, several adjustments can be done in choosing the size and wheel model, whether or not to equip the skateboard with suspensions as well as a compromise between power and energy densities when choosing battery type is essential.
