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 Mini X: Battery Pulsing Yellow and Red

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 11:38:08 -0700

The battery is pulsing yellow and red and it seems to be a battery connection issue but any other thoughts? I haven’t bought it yet but I am going to buy it in hopes of fixing it. If not I could use it for parts.

Boosted Mini: How do I fix my battery

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 05:13:35 -0700

My board stopped working almost mid ride and now displays a red light that blinks three times. There is also an orange light on the second node of the five nodes that extend down from the power button. I bought a new charger and kept it plugged in for about two weeks because I read about how this should help it reset, but I'm still getting the red light of death. Any suggestions?

Razor RipStik Ripster: The wheels keep falling off - how to repair?

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 07:58:59 -0700

The axle holding the front wheel to the trucks came out (the bolt that inserts into another bolt apparently unscrewed itself, and the wheel & spacers etc fell out). However, the parts we collected from the road don't appear to make sense together - does anyone have pictures or video showing how to remove and replace the wheels?

Specifically, I need to know what size spacers to order, order of construction, do you need to add LockTite to the bolt, or any other tricks.

I put them back together as well as I could but it didn't look completely right - the wheel was slightly offset to one side (the spaces/washers on either side of the wheel are different lengths!) 2 weeks later the wheel fell off again!

Thanks,

Hey fellas. I'm having an issue. My remote and board connect fine. They both connect to ride app and remote testor I purchased another stealth esc on eBay both that one and my original one, I tried my other V2 plus deck and sent my remote to Ric at bossted surgeon and he said it was fine. The problem is when I ENGAGE the throttle on the remote I get nothing on both motors. No power. On both decks both escs . The motors have low miles. Just nothing. I know theotprs generallyale noise if they are blown buy I get nothing. Seen this before?

Boosted Plus: My remote isn’t connecting to my board. The remote is new.

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 21:06:45 -0700

I had my boosted board at my house and haven’t used it in a while ever since it broke a couple years ago. It barely has any miles on it. One day the remote stopped connecting to the board. I talked to a representative and they had me buy a new remote. It still doesn’t connect. What could fix the issue? Buying a new Ecu?
