Introduction
This guide explains how to replace a belt on the Boosted Board Mini Electric Skateboard. This guide is necessary because if the skateboard belt has become over worn or has snapped off, then the board becomes unusable. We will demonstrate how to replace the belt that is attached to the motor in order to regain the function of the electric skateboard.
Tools
-
-
Unscrew the axle nut holding the wheel in place with your wrench on the side of the board where the belt has snapped/became worn.
-
-
-
Use your allen wrench to remove the two black motor cap screws on the motor counter clockwise.
-
-
-
Use your allen wrench to loosen the four motor screws on the motor by turning your tool ¼ turn left. The motor should be loose.
-
-
-
Place the wheel with its new belt inner side first on the axle, making sure the belt is securely back over the motor pulley.
-
-
-
To tighten the belt, create tension by putting your thumb on the wheel of the board and your fingers on the motor and pull the motor towards the motor driver until the belt is taught. There should be some flex in the belt after tightening.
-
-
-
Using the allen wrench place the two screws furthest from the wheel first back in place and tighten, then tighten the closer two screws.
-
If the belt on the other side of the skateboard also needs to be replaced, repeat steps 1-16.
