Step-by-Step Guide: How to Attach a Hoverboard to a Cart

Attaching your hoverboard to a cart is a quick and simple process that takes just a few minutes. The iHoverboard K3 Hoverboard Go Kart is designed for easy setup, allowing anyone to turn their hoverboard into a fun, seated go-kart in around 10 minutes. Follow these steps to ensure a safe and secure connection between your hoverboard and the kart.

1. Prepare Your Hoverboard and Kart

Before you begin, make sure your hoverboard is fully charged and switched off. Place it on a flat surface to keep it stable during installation.
Next, unpack the iHoverboard K3 Go Kart, ensuring all components are included — frame, seat, straps, and front wheel assembly. The kart comes almost fully assembled, so you’ll only need to make a few quick adjustments.

2. Adjust the Frame Length

The iHoverboard K3 features an adjustable frame (27”–35.5”) to fit riders of different ages and heights.

Loosen the adjustment knob on the frame.
Slide the frame to your preferred length.
Tighten the knob securely once the desired size is set.
This allows a comfortable riding position for both kids and adults, ensuring better control and stability.

3. Attach the Kart to Your Hoverboard

Now it’s time to connect your hoverboard to the cart:

Position the hoverboard under the rear of the kart frame, aligning both footpads evenly.
Use the six adjustable straps provided in the package to fasten the kart frame to the hoverboard.
Make sure the straps are tightened firmly to prevent slipping or imbalance.
The straps are reinforced and designed to hold securely without damaging your hoverboard’s surface.

4. Install the Front Wheel and Check Alignment

Attach the 360° swivel front wheel to the front bar of the frame. This wheel enables smooth turns and stable rides.
Ensure that all screws and nuts are tightened properly and the front wheel spins freely. A well-aligned front wheel ensures smoother steering and reduces wear on your hoverboard.

5. Test the Controls

Once the setup is complete, it’s time to test your kart.

Sit comfortably in the seat and grip the sponge-padded handles.
Push both handles forward gently to move forward.
Pull them back to slow down or reverse.
Push one handle forward and the other back to spin or turn 360°.

Before your first full ride, double-check that all parts are secure and that your hoverboard responds correctly to the handle movements.

6. Ready to Ride

You’re all set! Your hoverboard is now securely attached to your iHoverboard K3 Go Kart. Enjoy a smoother, safer, and more exciting way to ride — perfect for outdoor fun, daily cruising, or family activities.
