You were enjoying the pleasant weather while hovering on your Gotrax hoverboard. Suddenly you hear a beeping sound that doesn’t stop. You get irritated, get off the hoverboard and search for the reason. Do you want to know why the hoverboard beeps?
The hoverboard beeps due to many reasons. If the battery is low, you are overspeeding, or the hoverboard is out of calibration, etc., you will hear continuous beeping. The beeping sound is only produced in the Gotrax to warn you that there is some problem with the hoverboard. It would be best if you resolved it before you have to bear the consequences.
Whenever any problem occurs in the hoverboard, there are always some reasons behind it. You will find all these reasons with solutions here. So that if you get stuck in such a situation, you can resolve it quickly.
What Is The Reason Behind The Beeping Of The Gotrax Hoverboard?
When the Gotrax hoverboard starts producing inconvenient sounds, it alerts you that there is an issue with the hoverboard. The following are the reasons for this problem.
- The hoverboard beeps due to low battery so that you can get alert and get off the hoverboard unless it stops suddenly and makes you fall.
- Overspeeding is dangerous. Every hoverboard has a speed limit and starts to beep when that limit exceeds. It is aware you to slow down for your safety.
- Any internal fault in the motherboard or wire also causes the hoverboard to produce such sound and won’t let the hoverboard turn off.
- Suppose the surface is way too much inclined. The hoverboard will also start beeping. So you may avoid going to that incline path.
- Any stone or too much dirt stuck in the hoverboard can also be one of the reasons.
- Overuse of the hoverboard may overheat, resulting in the beeping of the hoverboard.
How To Find The Actual Reason For Which Gotrax Is Beeping?
You read all the reasons, but at a time, only one can be the reason why your hoverboard is beeping. So hearing the beep, how will you know the actual reason so you can solve it?
When there is some problem inside the hoverboard, it doesn’t only beep but also flashes a red light. The number of red light flashes depicts the problem in the hoverboard.
Flash 1:
A single-time flashing of red light indicates some problem in the motherboard.
Flash 2 or 3:
There is an internal circuit problem if the light flashes twice or thrice.
Flash 4:
It predicts that there is an issue with the motor, and it needs replacement.
Flash 5 or 6:
When there is a battery problem in the hoverboard, the light flashes 5 to 6 times.
Flash 7 or 8:
It detects the problem in the gyroscope.
Flash 9:
If the number of flashes reaches 9, the hoverboard is placed upside down while turning on. It would help if you kept the hoverboard properly.
Other than these, the most important reasons for battery low, uneven surface, and high speed can easily be detected without light flashing. You know it yourself that where you are riding and if the hoverboard beeps in such a place means you need to straighten your way.
How Can The Beeping Of A Gotrax Hoverboard Be Resolved?
Search what the problem is and resolve it accordingly. Suppose the issues are petty, like low battery, overspeeding, etc., so charging the hoverboard and riding it within the speed limit can resolve these issues. The internal issues need more attention because you need to open the hoverboard and repair it. Or you have to send it to the repairer if you don’t understand the issue.
Sometimes it so happens that it beeps when you step on the hoverboard, and when you remove your feet, it doesn’t. So the best way to solve this issue is to calibrate the hoverboard. Now you might think about how to recalibrate the hoverboard. The process for recalibration is as follows.

- Place your hoverboard on a flat surface.
- For a few seconds, Press the power button and hold.
- You will see flashing lights on the hoverboard.
- Leave the power button.

- Always ensure the full charging of the hoverboard. Suppose you are riding it for one or two hours. Check the battery status and turn it off if it is getting low.
- Never go on paths that are way too inclined or declined. Also, avoid extremely rough surfaces if your hoverboard is not an off-road hoverboard.
- While the calibration process, never touches the hoverboard or try to pick it up.
- Resolve the internal issue of the hoverboard soon.
- Use the hoverboard for a limited period, as mentioned in the manual. Do Not overuse the hoverboard.
- Clean the hoverboard because the cause of the beeping sound can be due to any stone stuck in the wheels etc.
