DIY: Transforming Your Board into a Kart

Having a hoverboard is an awesome acquisition. It’s a fun gadget you can use to enhance your balance and move around with flair and style. Also called a self-balancing scooter or self-balancing board, this electric personal transporter can get you from point A to point B by standing on your feet. If that isn’t fun enough, there’s an even better way of moving from point to point: transforming your hoverboard into a hoverkart. Now that is more than awesome! The idea may seem great and all, but how do you transform your board to a kart? It may look hard, but it could actually be easy. You’ll just need a hoverboard and some accessories and add-ons.

Prepare the Hoverboard

The hoverboard is the integral part of a hoverkart. This is the part that sets the vehicle in motion or more like the engine of a conventional automobile. There are different brands of hoverboards in the market, and most follow the same standard measurement and dimensions. It is always best to select a durable kind of hoverboard.

Attach the Rear Frame

The rear frame is one of the parts closest to the hoverboard. Most rear frames come with straps or customized attachment systems that are easy to install and fit perfectly to the hoverboard. This attachment isn’t damaging to the hoverboard because it has the dimensions of the hoverboard considered, and also some attachments are adjustable.

Attach the Left and Right Control Arms

You can then attach the control arms to the hoverboard. In automotive terms, the control arms serve as the steering and gear system. These control arms will make the hoverkart move forward, change speeds and directions. It is essential that you place the control arms correctly, with each of the arms placed in equal distance from the hoverboard’s sensor pads for optimum operation and safety.

Attach the front Frame

The front frame completes the full frame of a hoverkart, specifically the suspension hoverkart type. To connect and attach the rear frame and the front frame together, you will need frame clips to fasten and hold the two frames securely. If the frames are adjustable, the frame clips can be loosened and fastened to adjust the length of the frames.

Add the Seats

Seats can then be added once the frame has been completely installed. The size and type of the seat can vary depending on the type of passenger, whether it an adult or a child. The standard size for adult seats should be 50-60 cm across, and 40-50 cm for the lengthwise measurement. Child seats can have the standard 30-36 cm crosswise and 18-25 cm lengthwise. The backrest measurement can be the standard 31 cm for both passenger types. Another thing to consider is the front wheel size. The front wheel should be large enough to partially support the weight of the passenger’s legs.

Attach the Front Wheel

Completing the hoverkart transformation is the front wheel. The front wheel adds to the stability and maneuverability of the kart. You can have the choice of a fixed wheel or a swivel caster wheel depending on your intended use for the hoverkart. A fixed wheel is ideal for operating on high speeds and having a stable movement. Adults can use this type of wheel attachment. Hoverkart racers also prefer the fixed wheel attachment for stability at high speeds. For everyday personal transport use, the swivel wheel is ideal for smooth handling and maneuverability. Turns are easier to perform with swivel wheels compared to fixed wheels. Thus, swivel wheels are also recommended for kids and young users.

Add Accessories

Your hoverkart is now basically complete. It now depends upon the users if there are customizations and accessories they wish to add to the kart. For smooth travel using the kart, you can add the suspension spring or shock absorber. This can minimize discomfort to your rear area and lower back area. It could also help prevent back pains and also smooth the kart’s movement. If the hoverkart is used by different family members, it would be recommended to add an adjustment slider to the seat, along with adjustable frames. This way, the length of the card can be accordingly adjusted to the drivers: the kids or the parents.

Now that you have an idea on the fundamental hoverkart parts, you can be confident enough to build one on your own. There are pre-assembled hoverkart sets that only need to be attached to the hoverboard, and there are also separate individual hoverkart parts for those who want to give their karts a customized touch. Whatever your preference is, one thing is certain: you have stepped up the fun in your personal transport with hoverkart. So level up your fun by transforming your hoverboard to a hoverkart now!
