The skateboard itself was purchased from TAOBAO for 10 SGD. It is the cheapest I could find as I am quite new to skateboard and do not have specific needs for good quality.
The mechanic hardware of the electric skateboard are all purchased from TAOBAO from a vendor that sells complete DIY kits to modify your normal skateboard to electric version. The kit includes wheels, pulley, belt, trucks and necessary screws and nuts.
Assembling the kits was quite straight forward although the vendor didn't provide any manual or instruction. Moreover, there are numerous videos on Youtube that describes the procedures in details such as this:
Overall, I am quite satisfied with the quality of the DIY kit except the following two parts.

1. Due to the pulling force of the belt, the wheel that connects to motor could not be mounted straightly, resulting in friction against the truck. I had to purchase lubricant oil to reduce the friction so that wheel could rotate properly.
2. Provided screws were not able to lock the pulley to motor shaft tightly. I had to use strong epoxy glue to glue the pulley to motor shaft.
The whole kit costed about 375 RMB (58 USD/77 SGD), which is slightly more expensive than if you purchase each component separately. However, I think purchasing the DIY kit did save a lot of times and efforts of finding and matching components, especially for a newbie like me who did not have an extensive hardware background.
