HOW DOES A HOVERBOARD MOVE?
THE WHEEL SENSOR
The wheels of the hoverboard house the electric
motors themselves. They 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.

THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is what keeps your board going.
There are different packs out there, but the vast
majority of them are 36V 4400mAH battery packs.

HOW DOES A HOVERBOARD DETECT YOUR MOVEMENT?
The Pressure Pads 
Sit on two switches each.
When you lean forward, the front switch is pushed
down, and a little plastic wall slides
in-between an infrared LED and an infrared sensor.
As long as the sensor detects the light, the
logic board will tell the motors to be still.
But when the light is interrupted (because of the
switch being pushed down by your weight), the
board tells the motor to spin in a
particular direction.

HOW DOES A SELF BALANCING SCOOTER BALANCE?
Tilt Sensors in the Wheels 
The tilt sensors in the wheels tell the
gyroscopes how far forward youre leaning. The
gyroscopes relay this information to the logic
board.
The more youre leaning forward, the faster the
logic board tells the motors to spin, to sort of
catch up with your center of gravity. Its this
simple (yet very clever) mechanism which allows
you to control the cruising speed of the scooter
with your weight.
