Hoverboards are the most advanced mini e-vehicles. They work with the help of many small and big electronic components and sensors.

Sometimes, your hoverboards start acting weird, and that results in difficult handling and control. In this situation, you have to reset and calibrate it to fix the issues.

But, many people didn’t know the right way to reset and calibrate their hoverboard. So, let’s find out how to reset a hoverboard and then calibrate it easily.

Place your hoverboard on a flat surface and turn it ON. Now long-press the power button for 3 to 10 seconds and wait for its lights to start flashing. This process will take some time, so wait for the lights to stop flashing. When they stop, your hoverboard will be turned On and calibrated.

There are different kinds of hoverboards available nowadays in the market, and all of them are different in terms of their size, specification, functionality, and handling.

So, there are different ways to reset and calibrate their gyroscope for better control and handling. Some hoverboards are calibrated manually, and some are calibrated with their remote.

Let’s discuss the hoverboard’s different reset and calibration methods so that you can easily do it without any hesitation.

But before that, here is a short video of a user who had a similar experience and see how he has solved it.

Reset And Calibrate Hoverboard Manually

Hoverboards are self-balancing mini e-vehicles that are very popular nowadays. They consist of many sensors and electronic components that work together and provide a self-balancing riding experience.

All hoverboards have a gyroscope that senses the rider’s movement and weight pressure and sends the signal to the motherboard to act accordingly.

Sometimes, the connection between the Gyroscope, Footboard, and Motherboard becomes weak or disrupted due to several reasons, resulting in weird handling of the hoverboard.

In this situation, you have to reset and recalibrate it to ride your hoverboard smoothly. So, the most common way of calibrating your hoverboard is the Manual Way.

Following is the step-by-step guide of how to reset and calibrate your hoverboard manually.

  1. First of all, make sure that your hoverboard is charged and the battery can last for a few minutes. If you are not sure about the battery situation, then charge it for a few minutes to continue to process.
  2. Now, place it on a flat or a balanced surface and make sure that both wheels and footboard are balanced.
  3. Now, long-press the power button for 3 to 10 seconds until the lights start flashing. There would be different lights flashing and sounds coming out from the hoverboard, indicating that the process has begun. During this time, Do not touch the hoverboard; it would disrupt the calibration process and can cause other handling issues. So, be careful.
  4. Wait for a few minutes until the process is completed and lights stop flashing. Now either the hoverboard will turn ON or OFF depending on the brand or the model of the hoverboard.
  5. If it’s ON, then restart it by turning it Off and ON.
  6. Now, ride it for a while, and your hoverboard will be calibrated successfully.

So above, I have written the complete guide on resetting and calibrating the hoverboard manually. If the above process didn’t work for you or your hoverboard is still acting weird, you can try calibrating it again. It will surely solve the issue.

Conclusion

Hoverboards consist of different smart electronic components, including Gyroscope, Weight Sensors, etc. The gyroscope senses the motion of the rider and sends appropriate commands to the motherboard to act accordingly.

Sometimes, the connection or understanding between the gyroscope and the sensors is disrupted for several reasons. The gyroscope will be unable to sense the right motion of the rider and control the handling properly. That is why you need to calibrate it in order to keep your hoverboard ride smooth and accurate.

I have written a detailed guide on resetting and calibrating the hoverboard with three different methods: Manual, Remote, and App Calibration. You can follow the above-given steps to perform the task and get your hoverboard alive again.
