Cool build! My issue with the powered boards is that the motor is both engine and brake - they don't coast when you let off the throttle. With a longboard, coasting is all the fun! I suppose it would be possible to modify the linkage between motor and wheels to be one way (drive) only? Kind of like a freewheel on a bicycle?

Thats purely an implementation issue, it's called "Drag". It can be turned off (in theory) for safety reasons though it's probably not ideal to turn it off.
