How to Put Bluetooth on an Electric Scooter: A Step-by-Step Guide

Adding Bluetooth functionality to your electric scooter can enhance your riding experience significantly. From listening to your favorite tunes while cruising to tracking your ride stats, Bluetooth has a lot to offer. Here's how you can add Bluetooth to your electric scooter: 

Requirements

Before you start, make sure you have the following items:

• Bluetooth module


• Compatible scooter controller 


• Screwdriver and other basic tools


• Electrical tape


• User manual of your electric scooter

Step 1: Choose the Right Bluetooth Module

Not all Bluetooth modules are compatible with every electric scooter. Check your scooter’s specifications and make sure the Bluetooth module you choose is compatible. Some popular options include modules from brands like Audio-Technica and TaoTronics. 

Step 2: Access the Control Box

Your electric scooter will have a control box that houses all its electrical components. Locate this box, usually found under the deck or near the handlebars, and carefully open it using a screwdriver. 

Step 3: Connect the Bluetooth Module

Refer to the user manual of both your scooter and the Bluetooth module. Connect the Bluetooth module to the scooter’s controller. Usually, this involves connecting a few wires which should be clearly labeled. Ensure the connections are secure. 

Step 4: Secure the Module

Use electrical tape to secure the Bluetooth module inside the control box so that it doesn’t move around while you're riding. Make sure the module is placed in a position where it won’t interfere with other essential components. 

Step 5: Test the Bluetooth Connection

Turn on your electric scooter and activate the Bluetooth feature on your smartphone. Search for new devices and pair with your newly installed Bluetooth module. Test sound quality or connectivity to ensure everything is functioning correctly. 

Step 6: Reassemble Your Scooter

Once you’ve confirmed that the Bluetooth connection works, reassemble the control box and secure it tightly. Your scooter is now Bluetooth-enabled and ready for a more modern riding experience! 

Final Thoughts

Adding Bluetooth to your electric scooter not only makes your ride more enjoyable but also leverages technology to offer smart riding solutions. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or simply love convenience, this upgrade is worth the effort!
