Nice! Another person who did this for their son. There’s an open source hoverboard hack software which means you don’t even have to go through all of this motor controller junk like he did. No reason to waste good electronics with proper power stages and stuff.
This is the hub adapter I used for the particular model of pedal car I picked up from a yard sale: https://www.printables.com/model/270276-hoverboard-hub-adapter-for-pedal-car
And this is the replacement, larger steering wheel I made early on. https://www.printables.com/model/266452-biohazard-steering-wheel-for-pedal-car
I didn’t end up removing the pedals like he did, what I ended up doing was adding an encoder wheel to the pedals, so that my (then 4) year old son wasn’t having to work so hard to pedal through the rocks/sand/grass. So I turned mine into more like an electric-assisted pedal car.
Also, the big benefit of using the old electronics is also that it has the proper charging circuitry, and is basically ‘free’. I didn’t own any hoverboards prior to this project, I bought a bunch of them on Facebook Marketplace for like $20/ea
Are you talking about the 1996 side scroller? I’m still seeding that torrent.
