Introduction

Replace one of your Swagtron's wheels with this guide. To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitors using the capacitor discharge tool before making any changes to your Swagtron.

    • Make sure the hoverboard is completely powered off and unplugged from any outlets.

    • Flip the Swagtron so that the footpads are facing the ground.

    • Unscrew the sixteen 9.4 mm Phillips #1 machine screws on the side of the Swagtron that is now facing upwards.

    • Be careful with the small blue capacitors indicated by the orange box. There are many of these capacitors in the device.

    • Slowly lift the backside cover.

    • Both sides lift up the same way, but the motherboard is under one side and the battery is under the other.

    • Detach the four cables connected to the cover by pinching the connector clips and pulling the cables out:

    • Three cables on the motherboard side.

    • Two red cables with white connectors and one white cable with a white connector.

    • One yellow cable with a black connector on the battery side.

    • After detachment, you should be able to completely remove the backside cover.

    • Unscrew the six 11.2 mm Phillips machine screws from the inside of the wheel.

    • You many need to spray a thin lubricant, such as PB Blaster, directly onto each of the six screw points to loosen them.

    • Pull the wheel off of its base.

    • The wheel has a strong magnetic connection to the base, so separating the them will require a lot of force.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Hi,

my girl Swagtron T6 wheel is flat. Probably it is a nail hole. We are faraway from US, so I have to do it by myself. Can I get the wheel out for tire repairing?

Can you help me please?

Thanks

Can't the wheel off

I have a T6 Swagtron and I am struggling to get the wheel off. Are these magnets really that strong? It feels like there is something else holding the wheel in place. I tried prying it but doesn’t seem like its doing enough.
