LFArmada
weight: ca. 65-70kg = 140-155 lbs
plans for wheels: yes, but it's summer time, time for wakeskating, i think we will build the rest in autumn, we have also plans for a rain cover in checker style Cool

,

uidzero grey is my favorite color for tech things

Chris Barcellos thanks for the painting tip, we think about powder coating during the winter months, but at first we needed a fast solution because it's summer in europe Smile
