How to remove a wheel from a hoverboard?

Before you start repairing a gyro scooter at home, you need to familiarize yourself in detail with the nuances of its implementation and follow the detailed instructions. If the breakdown is serious, you should contact the store, presenting a receipt, where they will consult or replace the gadget.

Hoverboards are divided into many types, but in order to have basic information and determine the type of breakdown, it is important to take into account only 2.

• For children, transport with wheels of 6-8 inches is expectedwhich are sensitive to road surfaces and can be damaged by strong vibration (at high speed) or small stones. The wires are often frayed and frayed - this breaks the connection between the motherboard and the wheels. This kind of hoverboard is best used in a yard with a flat surface, but not off-road.
• More versatile are 10-10.5-inch wheels, which are suitable for almost any age. They are protected from shaking while riding thanks to the installed flexible tires. Those, in turn, are divided into chamber and tubeless.

Manufacturers are constantly improving the quality and durability of the goods, however, they do not guarantee the eternal operation of their products, since with prolonged and constant use of the gyro scooter it is difficult to avoid its wear or breakage. Instrument problems can be caused by:

• incorrect use (driving on off-road and bad surfaces; collisions with external obstacles; falls; storage errors);
• factory defect;
• low quality.

A common problem with this type of vehicle is wheel deflection. And also the reasons include:

• damaged nipple (deflation);
• invisible cracks (often formed if you use the gadget outside at temperatures below 0);
• mechanical damage to the wheel (cut, puncture);
• violation of the sealing of the gasket.

A rarer problem is rim deformation. Do not be upset if any of the above happened.... Any problems of this kind are easily solved at home without contacting a service center.

The process of removing the wheel from the hoverboard and disassembling it is not difficult, but it requires care. One has only to follow the detailed instructions so as not to damage the gadget itself and its electronics. The device is disassembled in several stages.

Before starting work, you need to prepare tools, of which there are not so many, namely:

• crosshead screwdriver (or a screwdriver that will speed up the workflow);
• hex wrench (the size is determined depending on the type of hoverboard).

The hoverboard should be turned over and placed on a flat surface (table or floor) for ease of use. After completing the first stage, it is necessary to inspect the wheel for imperfections, punctures, cuts and other malfunctions. This will allow you to determine the next steps: fixing the part or buying a new one.

It is necessary to carefully unscrew the screws located at the bottom of the hoverboard with a Phillips screwdriver. Then you should remove this component of the case.

Important! On the 10-10.5-inch models, the top and bottom of the chassis are connected with a wire from the power button. And also in any gyroscooter, the connection can be made using wires to provide light and music. They are easy to spot when the cover is removed. Disconnecting them reveals the motor, the 3 control boards and the battery.

To disconnect the required wheel from the motherboard and battery, you need to find the plastic holder where it is fixed, unscrew the 4 main screws and disconnect the ribbon. This will remove the stand for the side control boards.

Using a hex wrench, unscrew the 4 bolts securing the wheel and disconnect it from the gyrocycle. To disassemble, for example, a 10.5-inch wheel, perform certain actions.

• The center cap must be removed first.
• After removing the cap, you can see 4 self-tapping screws. They should be carefully unscrewed with a screwdriver or with a screwdriver (the latter is easier and faster) and remove the cover.
• Then you need to unscrew the spool cap and deflate the tire.
• Next, you need to squeeze the tire hard to remove it from the rim.
• Using a flat screwdriver, requires disassembling the wheel.
