Wonder if, in the future, they could upgrade it with bigger batteries? Seeing now as it's opened, it won't be possible, from the look of it, as they might redo the outer casing...
Nothing really stopping them doing this. Although its worth considering, they don't really want people delving into the internals unless they really have to - i.e. for a repair. Making it quick release might encourage people to have a look, and end up damaging something. Secondly, dropping it would more than likely release the panels if they were quick release, so screwing them down means it can take more of an impact before shedding the furniture :)
This is just a complety dissasembly video! To fix a puncture you only need to put of the two outer sheels...clip of the motor connectors....loosen the six pedal arms screws....and drop out the complete wheel under the shell....easiest EUC to fix/change a tire!!!
I found so funny all the people here ... They don't understand that you don't need to do all of this to swap out the tire / motor assembly. It's litterally only 6 screws on each side (once outer shell removed on both side), unplug the motor cable then slide the assembly out ... It's funny how people like to comment without even understanding how the thing is built ... And for your information the process is the same with like EVERY EUC, they're all built the same way.
This is just a complety dissasembly video! To fix a puncture you only need to put off the two outer sheels...then clip of the motor connectors from each side....loosen the six pedal arms screws....and drop out the complete wheel including pedal arms under the shell....no need to touch the board atall....thats the easiest EUC to fix/change a tire and it works like this on all KS!
What a nightmare to fix a puncture. I see no good reason why these things can't be designed to simply split straight down the middle with just a few screws to remove. They could have run contacts along each half to connect up the electronics. They need to spend more time to come up with a better more modular and easier to access design than what we currently have. Its definitely doable if they put in the time and effort. On the plus side the layout is tidy and the unit appears well put together, but a simple puncture fix is likely out of the question for most users.

Given the nature of the wheels, presumably the manufacturer will be taking great steps to reduce negligence / personal injury claims associated with design and manufacture, which in turn will help lower the risk for the importer who carries liability for the imported goods.
Just to clarify ... I wasn't talking about quick-release panels, I was really talking about better design and layout so that the removal of so many components and cables would be greatly reduced and a simple job to replace a tyre could be completed in a few minutes rather than hours. You make a good point about quick-release fasteners though and I'm not a fan of these, not even on bikes as it in that case it makes bits easier to steal :=).
I'm pretty sure you don't have to do all that just to fix a puncture or change the wheels. I'm guessing this vid is only to show you how to do a full dissection for whatever you need to do.

Oof! All that for a tyre change! Haha, I kid. I’m sure there’s a quick method to simply replace the tyre, right? Right?! Taking off the case screws is no big deal, but I don’t want to disassemble the control board.

Gt George ah, now puncture is a different thing, he was talking a tire change. Now for a puncture; green slime is the way forward, keeps you puncture free!
appears to be a very well thought out and well built machine.
Unless you just want to change the tyre!
Thanks for the video. Good to see it close up.
It would be good to see details of the battery cells and motor. Presumable that was not Bob from the warehouse taking it apart :)

Quality machine!
Do you know how to use this controller but with a pottentiometer instade of gyro, i want to use it to build an e-bike.
Can't they just make a snap-in wheel/motor cassette? Easypeasy...
I just want to change the tire and not dissect it....

Your my new KING......LOL😎👍
Nice music but dont ask me to put that thing back together for the guy in this video.......I'd be very lost
Is there a Swagroller teardown around? I just burnt my mother board, I do believe.

Is this only half the video?
Not sure, it was direct from KS
Agh...just to fix wheel????
Oof! All that for a tyre change!

How many times you planning on replacing the tire lol

@Speedy Feet UK What kind of answer is that? Punctures happen.
@ Kickersoccer69 Looking for a video of this.
