How a hoverboard works
Despite its name, a hoverboard doesn’t hover over the ground. It’s a self-balancing board with an outer frame that pivots from the center. The two wheels contain an electric motor and sensors which detect speed and the tilt of your body. While you tilt your body forward, the sensors in the hoverboard will keep it upright.
Under each footpad is an LED light, which triggers the sensor below. The LED light stays on while your feet are flat on the board, signaling for the motor not to run. As you learn your body weight forward, the LED light goes off, telling the logic board to run the motor. You’re able to do circles with your hoverboard as the two motors are separate, with one in each wheel.
