Break the two warranty stickers by poking a screwdriver through them or peeling them off.
Remove the following twenty screws by rotating the screwdriver counterclockwise:
Eight 16.2mm Phillips #2 screws
Eight 15mm Phillips #2 screws
Four 19.1mm Phillips #2 screws
The holes containing most of the screws are deep and narrow. A screwdriver with interchangable bits will not be able to reach them.
Do not over-tighten the screws during reassembly. Over-tightened screws can crack the plastic channels holding the shell to the frame of the hoverboard.

Use a nylon spudger to pry the metal handle away from the outer shell.
Rotate the metal handle toward the center of the hoverboard to unlock the plate from the retaining clips.
Lift the hoverboard off the metal handle.
Repeat for the handle on the other side of the hoverboard.

Lift the plastic cover on each side up and away from the device.
Multiple wires connect the circuit boards to the outer shell. Remove the shell gently to avoid damaging the wires or components.

Disconnect the following wires by pinching the connector tabs and pulling the plugs out of the connectors:
Charging port wires
Speaker assembly wires
Power button wires
Headlight wires
Only the headlight wires need to be disconnected from the other circuit board.
Ensure the wires are connected to the correct ports on the circuit board during reassembly.

Peel off the glue around the power button.
Unscrew the hexagonal nut around the power button by rotating the nut counterclockwise with a pair of pliers.
