repositioning interfering cabling if any is present, from around the axle cups;
inverting a wheel assembly of the motorized skateboard as necessary to reposition cabling;
providing a pair of lift kit assemblies;
mounting each lift kit assembly to sides of the motorized skateboard via fasteners;
re-mounting each axle cup such that it is supported by a axle cup mounting portion of each axle cup bracket member;
placing the motorized skateboard in a right side up position.
