Okay lets do this!

How to get hub motors off a hoverboard:

First we unscrew each of these screws.

Here's what it looks like with the bottom panel removed.

Next we want to disconnect everything, & remove the battery and controller board so we can get at the hub motor.

This budget hoverboard is a plastic chassis rather than metal.

I would NOT recommend repurposing this chassis for a heavy robot.

Luckily for me I have a metal chassis on my bot base already and this hub motor should fasten fine.

Left motor off.

Now rinse & repeat on right.

All wired up?

Gonna try this now, but I guarantee I wired something wrong here so give me a bit.

We have spinnage!

(And yes I did wire it wrong at first)
