- Welcome back to What's Inside?
Today, we have nano scooters!
- Woo, these things are awesome!
Some people call 'em hoverboards,
some people call 'em nano scooters, .
I just call 'em awesome, and fun.
- So, we've got two of them thanks
to our friends at NanoScooters,
and we've been riding this thing around,
and it's so much fun.
Here's the scooter, has the two different sides.
This little plastic part that senses your weight
when you put it on there and then the light turns on.
And then if you lean forward or back,
it works, even with my hand.
The little green light tells you if you're on or not.
(wheels whirring)
(playful yelling and laughing)
When you're ridin' it you just kind of lean.
Sometimes you go over the bumps
and you just lean back a little bit and slow it down.
But, if you just kind of lean
and it goes where you want it to go.
(playful music)
- [Lincoln] Full speed ahead.
(laughing)
Look, a train!
- [All] A train!
- That was a lot of fun, we rode it all over the place.
It was a blast, we kind of damaged it a little bit.
It's kind of beat up a little bit, because we rolled it
on the asphalt going down some of the hills (laughs).
- Yep.
- So, we had a good time, and it's time to cut
this one in half, take it apart.
There's a lithium ion battery inside of there,
so, I don't know that I want to just
cut into it with a big saw.
But first, maybe we'll just take off the guards
around the tires and take off a bunch
of this plastic and see what it looks like.
(techno music)
- [Lincoln] You're so close.
Whoa! - [Dan] Woo!
- [Dan] Got it.
I kind of cut the tire a little bit.
Check that out, woo!
Exposed wheel, still working great.
Wouldn't be good if you got your shoelace stuck in there.
That was fun modifying it but really,
there's a battery inside of there,
I don't want to mess with it too much.
I'm gonna take a screwdriver
and take the whole top off and see what happens.
(techno music)
- [Dan] Ba, bada, ba, bada, ba, bada, baaaaa.
Oh my gosh, it takes off the bottom part.
I thought it'd take off the top part, oh!
Whoa, what the heck?
Look inside of that thing.
Look at all that stuff. - [Lincoln] Whoa!
- [Dan] Can't really read the writing on it.
It's, ah, pretty much just in Chinese.
But there's, like, the motherboard.
Okay, here's the bottom part off.
Now, without the bottom let's see if it'll ride.
That side workin'?
Yeah, it still works!
- This is crazy.
- [Dan] Well, that side doesn't even have much in it.
This is where you charge it, right here.
And the power button is right there.
But then the battery's actually on the opposite side.
- [Lincoln] So, I think that these red cords go...
yeah, the red cords go through this
and then they plug in the battery right there.
- [Dan] Well, once I unplug this
you're not gonna be able to ride it anymore.
This is the power.
One thing I like is, this little bar goes through,
it connects to this one, and then that way
when it goes back and forth,
it has a limit to how far each one can go.
There's the battery.
- [Lincoln] I wouldn't!
I think that you should unscrew these,
so that you could, like, open up the motherboard.
- Ta-da! Oh, look at that.
That is neat.
When you lean forward or lean back
on the other side, it pushes.
You can see this bouncing forward, beep, beep, beep.
And this one at the other side, beep, beep beep.
So, if you lean forward too much it's gonna tell...
It's going to push on this button right here,
and it's going to tell whatever it tells over here to
balance and to move, and it talks to this at the same time.
But this is the thing
that you're steppin' on the other side.
See, see there's the little platform.
And when you look on the other side, there it is.
Beep, beep, beep.
- [Lincoln] Wow, that is amazing.
- [Dan] That's really neat, this is still very heavy.
Even without all of these motherboards,
the top part that we have on it--
- The battery, the battery is very heavy.
- Watch, it turns now, weee!
That'd be hard to balance on it, try it?
- Uhh yeah, you'll fall.
- I'm going to hop on it (laughs)
It just wobbles like crazy!
Before I go, I gotta to do one more thing.
(water splashing)
- [Dan] (laughs)
