Boosted Board 1st Generation: Replace new battery in Boosted board 1 gen

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 20:39:59 -0700

Hi,

i have a boosted board first generation and my battery is dead. Can somebody explain how i can replace the batteries and the board will work later on :)

I went to an batterie shop and they told me that the batteries are broke for sure they got new batteries but they said it will not work because of the BMS (battery management system)

So my question is: what batteries should i buy which tools do i need and how can i make my boosted board work again. If i charge it now it only runns for 2-3 minutes and then dead :(

the battery shop already took the batteries out from the board and the would make a new akku for me but i also would try it on my own

i would highly appriciate if somebody can help me to get my board fixed, i am from central europe and the shipping to USA would cost me 200 USD. So i would rather try it on my own before sending it to boosted for 200 usd and then pay additional for the repair work

thank you all for any hints

Simon

Boosted Board 1st Generation: How do I change the motor?

Tue, 17 Jul 2018 16:11:14 -0700

I had an issue with my boosted board as I was riding, the left back motor suddenly overheated and just stopped turning , I let it cool down but when I try to accelerate (even when Im not on it) the left wheel turns very slowly as if there is friction stopping it from turning.

I contacted boosted but they required shipping the board to the US (I dont live in the US and shipping to the US is very expensive where I am from)

Any tips would highly be appreciated.

Boosted Board 1st Generation: The wheels on my board feel stiff

Sun, 23 Oct 2016 19:44:13 -0700

While riding, the wheels on my board do not seem to roll freely. My ride feels very stiff and I don't move very far. I've tried loosening the nuts slightly, but the problem continues. What else can I do to fix this?

Boosted Board 1st Generation: Why won't my board accelerate?

Sun, 23 Oct 2016 17:47:35 -0700

When I step on my board and try to accelerate, nothing happens. I've made sure both the board and remote are fully charged and still nothing has changed. Is there something else I can do?

Boosted Board 1st Generation: Where can I buy 1st gen charger and remote?

Tue, 02 May 2023 09:47:35 -0700

I found and old 1st gen boosted board in the apt I moved into, but no charger and remote. I see some online but I'm not sure which one I need.

Also most chargers and remotes I see are over $150. Hoping someone knows a little secret spot to help me out.

Thank you!

Boosted Board 1st Generation: My board will not run, I feel the wires are loose, how can I fix this?

Sun, 19 May 2019 15:51:22 -0700

My boosted board power was intermittent before i wiggled the back motor wires then it worked again. I feel that maybe the wires maybe got seperated from the circut board underneath the back cover. Has anyone fixed this issue before. BB will not fix my V1 board anymore so rigjt now it is a $1200.00 paper weight. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I miss my BBV1 sooooooo much. Thank you in advanced!!!!
