As I said, sorry this is not graphics related whatsoever but this is very useful to first-time owners that are scared to mess up their precious board. Plot twist, it's fairly hard to mess up, it was very intelligently built to make sure you can change it all on your own without having to send it back for repair/upgrades.
Why did I change the motor?
There was a weird clicking sound (04:41) coming from a motor. The Boosted (very efficient) support sent me a motor a few days after, they also told me it was not unsafe to ride at all. Which, I kept doing for at least 5 months without an issue (except the obnoxious sound, but at least people would hear me coming).
Why did I change the belts?
You are supposed (what Boosted advises) to change your belts every 500 miles. Mine were in perfect condition, no dents or anything but I like doing everything in batches and, this was my upgrade day.
Why did I change my wheels?
Purely aesthetic, they were in great condition, I was just planning on changing them ever since the Stealth came out and I figured they would sell them in the accessories section.
