While the current models still aren\u2019t quite the quality of Marty McFly\u2019s hoverboard (thanks, Doc!), it\u2019s just as mesmerizing to see someone majestically gliding through the daily San Francisco sidewalk traffic. Not everyone feels the way I do, though\u2014some find them dangerous (like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/business\/consumer\/u-s-government-agency-declares-hoverboards-unsafe-n521881\">the government<\/a>\u2026) or consider them a nuisance. I think we can all agree that the hoverboard is the most polarizing consumer product in recent history\u2014you either love it, or you hate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an engineer, hoverboard construction and wiring is intriguing. Factories and small mom and pop shops all over China are replicating and selling hoverboards that range from $200 to $2,000. Companies are suing each other over patents and stolen IP. Battery and electrical issues are being found that have caused tragic fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say, we at Fictiv couldn\u2019t wait to dig in and after tearing down a hoverboard, it\u2019s easy to see why this is one of the most replicated products on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to start building your own awesome project?&nbsp;<a href=\"\/\">Visit Fictiv<\/a>&nbsp;for 24 hour turnaround on 3D printed parts.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Enclosures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image14.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5261 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image14.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image14-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the hoverboard, you can see that assembly is done with the top side facing down.

These hoverboards come in many colors, so painting the covers (rather than doing colors in-mold) is a much more economical way to deal with unpredictable color demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5263 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image02.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image02-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see a panel-mounted light and button attached to the bottom cover.

To hide the stickers, they covered the areas with tinted polycarbonate windows that pop off easily. The results are actually pretty great\u2014we didn\u2019t notice the stickers at all while playing with the hoverboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5266 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image04.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image04-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the LED boards\u2014we\u2019re actually surprised they\u2019re not the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image07.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5267 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image07.png 950w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image07-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Electronics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The top half of the assembly looks more complex, but if you follow along, you\u2019ll see it\u2019s really quite simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have a main PCBA, two gyro PCBAs (identical), and a large lithium-ion battery pack. It\u2019s interesting to note here that there still isn\u2019t a motor to be seen, making us think there are actually two motors embedded in the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image06.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5268 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image06.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image06-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After removing the gyro boards and the main PCBA, we\u2019re left with a battery (being held in by a plastic bracket), two metal plates screwed down to hold the wheel shafts, and four rubber triggers that are depressed when a rider stands on the rubber pads on the hoverboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at the aluminum plate on the left, that\u2019s where the main PCBA was located. There were fourteen screws and washers holding down the board, which was probably done to reduce vibration on the critical components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image00.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5269 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image00.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image00-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few more screws and little arm strength leave us with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Four injection molded ABS enclosure pieces<\/li><li>Four injection molded polycarbonate light covers<\/li><li>Three plastic brackets<\/li><li>Two gyro PCBAs<\/li><li>Four LED PCBAs<\/li><li>One main PCBA<\/li><li>Two wheel assemblies<\/li><li>One battery pack<\/li><li>This two-piece casted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/materials\/cnc-aluminum\">cnc aluminum<\/a> chassis<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus some odds and ends.

Internally, when the rubber pad is depressed, it interrupts an IR sensor pair, which tells the motor on its side to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When all the IR sensors pairs are interrupted, the hoverboard stands still. When someone leans forward or only breaks the front IR sensors, the hoverboard is told to move forward. Or, if the person\u2019s right foot leans forward, while his or her left foot leans backwards, the front right and back left IR sensors are broken, so the hoverboard rotates counter-clockwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chassis Rotation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image03.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5272 lazyload\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The chassis rotates around a simple steel bearing shaft that connects the left and right sides of the hoverboard. The steel shaft is also hollowed and used to pass electrical wiring from one side to the other. A rotational limit is added by using a curved slot opening on one side of the hoverboard with a shaft on the other half that glides within that opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Wheels (Motor)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we expected after opening the body, the motors are located within each wheel, and they\u2019re heavy! Each wheel weighs about twelve pounds. The motor is a three-phase AC, permanent-magnet brushless motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know it\u2019s three-phase AC because there are three thick wires coming out of the shaft, in addition to a five-wire harness going to the motor controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a battery-powered device, you normally only see DC components. However, in a system that requires high power, AC motors are more efficient. AC motors also have more control over their start-up torque than DC motors, making the hoverboards just slightly less terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5273 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image13.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image13-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, it looks like a pretty well-built motor, until you realize that the manufacturer used bamboo sticks as spacers between the coil windings and their slots\u2014looks like a hack to us. These bamboo sticks are commonly used for BBQ meat skewers ubiquitously found at Chinese night markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using spacers to stabilize the coils and keeping them compact against the armature core is a common practice in motor manufacturing. Maybe it\u2019s actually kind of ingenious that the manufacturers used off-the-shelf components (from an unrelated industry) to achieve this goal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking even closer, you\u2019ll also see thin sheets of white plastic wrapped around the coils. These act as insulating liners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5274 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image05.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image05-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BOM of Major Cost Drivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoverboard major component BOM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>One main PCBA<\/li><li>Two motor wheels<\/li><li>Two gyro PCBAs<\/li><li>One Lithium Ion battery pack<\/li><li>Cast aluminum internal chassis<\/li><li>Injection-molded plastic housing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the BOM shows just how simple this product is and why manufacturers in China are able to replicate and manufacture it so easily. What looks on the outside like a new, cutting-edge technology product is really just a couple of sensors and motors. There is a lot of space inside the enclosures, so the manufacturers can use lots of off-the-shelf components, without spending time and money on miniaturization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IR sensors tell the wheels which way to spin and the gyro measures the tilt and tells the wheels how fast they need to spin to keep the person upright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assembly is simple and clean\u2014no fixtures are really needed, except maybe a holding fixture to steady the oddly shaped hoverboard upside down during assembly. All wires are connectorized, making the product easy to rework and repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After tearing this particular hoverboard apart, we feel like we got a pretty well-built one. We even charged this thing three times without it catching on fire; although, for the first charges, we took the extra precaution of charging it in the bathtub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part of this teardown is that we can actually put it back together! You\u2019ll catch me at the local skatepark. Peace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5275 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image10.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image10-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image10-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image10-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hoverboard-Hero.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5491 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hoverboard-Hero.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hoverboard-Hero-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now, you\u2019ve almost certainly seen a hoverboard out in the wild.
