- Hi, my name is Agent Meade,
and today I'm going to convert a hoverboard into a go-kart.
Here's what you'll need.
A hoverboard, a buggy or a go-kart attachment,
tools for the buggy assembly, and safety gear and equipment.
I'll be using this Hover-1 Ranger hoverboard.
It's an excellent option
with a six-mile range and seven miles per hour max speed.
I wanna make sure that it's fully charged,
so I'll plug it in while I assemble the buggy attachment.
The buggy attachment I'll be assembling
is the Hover-1 Raptor.
This attachment has two control handles,
fog blasters with sound effects,
and double shocks to help make the ride more comfortable.
This Hover-1 Raptor comes with adjustable straps,
which helps make it compatible with most hoverboards
with wheel sizes between six and ten inches.
Before we start the assembly,
I'll plug the fog blaster in, so it can charge.
It can take approximately four hours to get to full charge.
Also, you may wanna consider
protecting the surface you're working on
with a towel or blanket.
Okay, now let's get to the building.
First lay the seat frame down on a sturdy surface.
Next, you want to lift this middle section.
Then align the suspension bars
with the two U-shape holders located on the rear beam.
Insert the eight by thirty eight screw,
and secure the eight-millimeter nut to the screw.
Tighten it with the included wrench and hex key.
Repeat this process on the other suspension bar.
Now, slide the left handle bar into the seat frame,
like this.
Make sure to align the holes in the seat frame
with the handle bar.
Insert the eight by thirty eight screw,
and secure with the eight-millimeter nut.
Again, tighten with the included wrench and hex key.
Next, you guessed it,
is to repeat with the right handle bar.
If you plan on using the included flag,
place the flag holder on top of the seat frame,
and align the holes before securing with the screw and nut.
Now, moving to the front of the buggy attachment,
insert the front frame piece into the seat frame.
Make sure the wheel is on the underside.
Then, adjust the frame to the desired length
by sliding the front frame piece in and out.
Insert the two lockers into the U-shape holders,
once you have it at the desired size,
and secure the lockers with plastic caps.
Now, you want to hand-tighten the lockers
and press the handles in, to lock into place.
After the fog blaster has finished charging,
disconnect and attach the mount
to the underside of the fog blaster
using the four mounting screws.
Once the mount is on the fog blaster,
align the two holes on the fog blaster mount
with the two rear holes on the seat frame.
Place the seat
on top of the fog blaster mount and seat frame,
making sure to align the four holes of the seat
with the seat frame.
Secure the seat to the seat frame with four screws and nuts.
Now that the buggy attachment has been assembled,
let's get it attached to the hoverboard.
First make sure the hoverboard is off.
Set the pedal mounts of the seat frame
onto the hoverboard foot locations.
Make sure to keep even spacing on the hoverboard.
Insert one end of the adjustable strap
to the front of the left pedal mount,
and secure the strap to itself.
Now wrap the strap under the hoverboard,
ensuring the textured rubber protector faces the ground.
Insert the other end of the strap
to the back of the pedal mount and secure it to itself.
Once that is done, repeat the process on the right side.
If you use the flag,
assemble it and insert it into the flag holder.
As I mentioned earlier,
this buggy attachment includes a fog blaster
with built-in sound effects.
Let's fill the fog blaster up,
to get some fog trails when riding around.
First thing, make sure it is not plugged in.
You don't want to mix water and electricity.
Press down on the water tank fill port,
and pour water into the fill port.
Take care not to overfill the water tank.
Once you fill one water tank,
fill the other one with the same process.
When you want to use the fog blaster,
press the power button.
This is the button that is closest to the back of the seat.
Then press the fog and sound effect button
below the power button.
Each fog and sound effect button press
will allow you to cycle through three sound effects.
Now we're ready to have some fun.
A couple of things before getting on and taking off.
Make sure you're wearing proper fitting safety equipment.
This could include a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads
and wrist guards.
Once you're good on safety equipment,
you'll wanna double check
that all screws are tight and secure.
Also, check that the tires on the hoverboard
aren't worn down,
and the straps that secure the buggy
are attached appropriately.
Power on the hoverboard and the fog blaster,
if you wanna show off with some trails.
Sit in the seat,
and place your feet on the footrests.
Grip the handle bars
and press both downward to move forward.
When riding, pull both handles upward to break.
If you need to go in reverse, pull both handles up.
To turn left, push the right handle downwards
while keeping the left handle in a neutral position.
Turning right, just means you do the opposite.
And there you go.
