HOVERBOARD: a look from inside. - Assembling/Disassembling a hoverboard - Spare parts for a hoverboard To disassemble a hoverboard is actually quite easy. Most components could be unscrewed by Phillips-head screwdriver, and the bearing blocks needed a metric Allen key to take apart. Electrical connectors came out with modest pressure and occasional help from pliers, with the exception of three wires on each motor, which needed to be pried loose with a screwdriver. If one of hoverboard parts has an issue, It can be replaced without affecting other parts. Most components can be replaced with relative ease. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the battery cable first and turn the power button off before unscrewing anything. Battery The battery pack is what keeps your board going. Battery with a labeled power capacity of 36-37 volts and 4.4 Amp-hours has enough power to move a person.

Wheels also contain a tilt and speed sensor. This detects the rpm (revolutions per minute) of the individual wheel, and sends it to the gyroscope and speed control boards, located inside the main body, right next to the wheels. Gyroscope & Speed Control Boards The gyroscope and speed control boards receive the rpms and tilt information from the sensor inside the wheels, and they, in turn, send it to the main logic board. When you calibrate your board, the gyroscopes are basically “zeroed”, as in, you’re telling the gyroscopes, “this is flat, hence this is when the hoverboard’s tilt is at 0”. Main Control Board The control board (or the logic board) is the “brain” of a hoverboard, and it’s where the processor computes in real time the status of the board, the speed at which you’re travelling, and the relative speed and tilt of the individual wheels. It also controls the power management of the board, and whether you are in “beginner mode” (thereby limiting the max speed of the board) or if the scooter is “locked”. Frame The frame consists of two solid pieces of aluminum with a pivot in the middle that allows it to rotate a few degrees. LED Packages Many hoverboards are coming with LED light.
