Fix Hoverboards As A Side Hustle

Fix Hoverboards

If you own a hoverboard chances are you've had to fix your hoverboard at one point or another. Hoverboards are both easy and challenging to fix and repair.

Self Balancing Scooters are somewhat challenging to fix in that there is no one type of hoverboard nor is there any repair guide that tells you how to diagnose problems or how to fix your hoverboard.

Fortunately however they are pretty simple devices, there's only a handful of parts in there. You have the motherboard, gyroscopes, battery, and wheel motors and that's about it, there's only so many parts that can go wrong with a hoverboard. 

One of the most common fixes for a hoverboard is the need to recalibate it. This is a fairly easy fix and requires no parts. That is typically the first thing you will want to try to do before spending money on parts to fix your board.

If calibrating it isn't the solution the next most common issue is probably a bad gyroscope, which again fortunately is an easy fix. 

Make Money Fixing Hoverboards

The point here is if you've gotten pretty handy at diagnosing problems on your own hoverboard and fixing your own hoverboard why not turn it into a nice little side hustle, put some ads up on Craigslist and Offer Up and start a little hoverboard repair business. Most fixes are fairly easy and many repair guys charge a flat $150 fee regardless of the problem while some charge even more. I've personally charged as much as $250 for a motherboard and two gyroscope replacement job off of Craigslist.

There's some good money in repairing hoverboards. Check your local cities craigslist and offer up and see if there's already competition or if it's wide open  for you to start placing ads and making money.
