Embodiments relate to a motorized skateboard. Embodiments allow users to utilize a power supply, such as a rechargeable battery pack, that is remote with respect to the skateboard. Embodiments can have the battery mounted on, under, partially or wholly enclosed within, and/or integral with the skateboard deck. Embodiments can have a removable and interchangeable motor mount, which attaches to the hanger to align the motor with the drive train. The drive wheel adaptor (hub) allows the user to modify standard skateboard wheels to use as drive wheels for the electric skateboard. The strength of the bond between the drive hub and the wheel enables the skateboard to utilize more torque without failure. Embodiments can allow users to have wiring connections at the front and/or back of the skateboard deck. Board-integrated wiring techniques can also be utilized. The electronics can be attached using brackets that fit the industry standard bolt pattern.
