Pomelo Stick Mount
Description
I made this mount for the Pomelo Electric Skateboard. Originally I made the mount because I thought it would make it easier to steer the skateboard by hand. But it did not work out very well. I would have had to crank the handle so much left or right so that the mount would have broken before any steering would occur. But as a side effect I found it very comfortable and more secure just to hold on to the stick while riding, since I have a prosthetic leg. Components used for assembly: * 4 M5 screws >= 20mm long with a round head. * 4 M5 nuts. * Broomstick or rod 21,2mm diameter. The mount fits to the front of the skateboard and is assembled with the nuts pressed into place in the printed bottom part and then screwed together with the printed top part. The hole for the stick is 21,2mm. The reason for this is, that all the broomsticks I could get in my area whether they were made of wood, plastic or metal were exactly that size. I guess it's a kind of standard then - but feel free to change it with your favourite mesh tool. I guess this mount is not for everyone but for me it made a difference. The picture shows my first prototype. I feel it would break easy even though it haven't yet. The uploaded stl is enforced by two triangles.
