We did the dumb stuff so you don’t have to 😂. I took the Maxfind Cyber Kit and electrified… furniture, the cardboard box it came in, even a car wheel. Most of it fell apart (hilariously), but it was a blast watching my friends Michael (Indonesia) and Johnny (Russia) try to ride the chaos. Then we end strong: a clean pintail deck build that actually RIPS. ► What’s inside: • Real-world review of the Maxfind Cyber Kit (DIY conversion for your deck) • Weird electric “boards”: box build, furniture board, and a wheel-on-wheels experiment • Proper pintail setup + wheel swaps and ride tests • Maxfind helmet rundown and why I wear it • Airline-friendly power: I also test a 99 Wh pack so you can fly with your setup* • Honest pros/cons after a full day of mods, fails, and laughs ► Why the Cyber Kit? • Made to electrify almost any wooden deck; quick assembly + modular hardware • Up to ~28 mph (45 km/h), ~25 miles (40 km) range, and ~30% hill climb (configuration-dependent) • Hub OR belt drive options on the kit, plus fast-swap battery design ⚠️ Safety first: These prototypes were sketchy. Wear a helmet, pads, gloves; test in safe areas; don’t ride broken or unstable builds.

About This Video

I grabbed the Maxfind Cyber Kit (basically an electric skateboard without a deck) and did what any responsible adult would do: I mounted it on anything I could find. First we motorized the actual cardboard box it came in. It worked… and then immediately reminded us why “prototype” builds are sketchy. After that we went full chaos mode with a moldy furniture plank, swapped to smaller wheels to avoid wheel bite, and did ride tests that were equal parts hilarious and terrifying. My friends Michael and Johnny took turns trying to survive the wobble, and yes—things fell apart. Then I stopped electrifying random objects and built what I actually wanted: a clean pintail “beach board” setup. I drilled the deck, mounted the kit properly, played with wheel options (I’m picky—107mm felt too big/heavy for what I wanted), and aimed for a smaller, surfy ride that still rips. I also break down two accessories that genuinely impressed me: Maxfind’s helmet (super comfy, lightweight, great visibility, magnetic buckle) and the travel angle—hot-swappable batteries, including a 99Wh pack that can make the board lighter and is way more airline-friendly. End goal: real-world testing, honest pros/cons, and a reminder to gear up because some of this was straight-up cursed.
