How to Connect Bluetooth to Hoverboard
Last Updated on September 6, 2022 by BoardsRiding
Hoverboards are one of the most exciting and fun inventions in the modern world. They are used by people of all ages from kids to teenagers, either for transportation or for fun on various social media platforms.
What started off as a simple and basic invention has quickly shown progress in terms of different models and different features.
Apart from LED lights and all-terrain wheels, one of the features that are very popular in hoverboards nowadays is the Bluetooth feature that lets you connect your phone or laptop to your hoverboard, and then you can play your favorite music while you’re riding!
This feature is especially considered favorable for those who prefer listening to music openly instead of plugging in their headphones.
So, before you can enjoy that music, you have to connect to the hoverboard through Bluetooth on your phone and laptop.
Device Compatibility:
Another issue that may arise when you want to connect your phone to your hoverboard is if your phone is compatible with your hoverboard or not.
Many people don’t pay much heed to that and move on to the connection step, only to find out their device isn’t even compatible with the hoverboard.
So, make sure you go over the specifications of your hoverboard first and confirm if your device is compatible with it or not.
Mostly, any device with Android 5 or 6 or upwards should easily be able to connect to your hoverboard but it’s better to make sure first.
How to Connect Bluetooth on your Android:
Since we’ve already gone over the device compatibility issue you might face on android, let me show you how you can connect bluetooth to your hoverboard on an android.
- Firstly, all you have to do is simply turn on your hoverboard if it isn’t already. You should be looking for a simple button on the back of your hoverboard, press it once and your hoverboard will turn on. That will be confirmed when you hear a tonal sound right after pressing the button.
- Now that your hoverboard is turned on, the bluetooth will show up when you check your phone.
- So, go to the settings menu of your android and look for either “device connection†or “bluetoothâ€, after going into the bluetooth menu, turn it on and your phone will automatically search for new devices around you.
- As your phone finishes the search, you should see either your hoverboard’s name or just ‘bluetooth’ in the list, tap it once and then follow the simple instructions once your phone takes you through them.
- That’s basically all you need to do to set up a connection between your phone and your hoverboard. Afterwards, just play whatever music you want from the music library.
How to Connect Bluetooth on your iPhone:
The instructions for iPhone are pretty much the same as on android.
- First of all, turn on the hoverboard if it already isn’t.
- Proceed by going to the settings menu of your iPhone and go into the Bluetooth connections menu and turn on the Bluetooth.
- First, you will see a list of all the devices that were previously connected to the iPhone. Below that list will be the bluetooth with the name of your hoverboard or just the manufacturer name, which will let you connect your iPhone to the hoverboard.
- In some cases, your hoverboard may just be labelled as ‘bluetooth’ so don’t be confused if you don’t see the name of your hoverboard.
- Tap the bluetooth and just follow the instructions that your iPhone shows you. The connection will be confirmed with a sound but even if you don’t hear the sound, the link sharing sign will appear in front of the name which will tell you that your iPhone is now connected to your hoverboard.
- You can now play the music on your hoverboard by going into iTunes or Spotify or any other music application on your iPhone.
Pairing your Laptop to your Hoverboard by Bluetooth:
The instructions for connecting your laptop with your hoverboard through Bluetooth are pretty much the same as android or iPhone. That’s because laptops are manufactured with built-in Bluetooth like phones unlike desktops.
- Search for ‘Network and Sharing’ on the search bar of your laptop and click on it when it shows up.
- Clicking on the “Add bluetooth or any other device†option will take you to the list of bluetooths which are near your laptop.
- Follow the rest of the simple instructions and the connection will be established.
However, most people avoid pairing their laptops with their hoverboards and just stick to their phones because of the portability factor.
