The app connects to the board via Bluetooth and we found that sometimes this does not work smoothly and runs into connectivity problems. Restarting the app usually fixes the issue. This is definitely something that can be improved.
Speakers with Bluetooth connectivity
The Halo Rover has built-in Bluetooth speakers. You can pair these with your phone and play your favorite tunes as you ride with the wind blowing through your hair.
