PREPARATION

Be sure that you are thoroughly familiar with all of the features and controls 

explained in this manual before you ride. 

ADJUST THE BOARD’S SPEED-ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE

Your  board  has  3  adjustable  speed/acceleration  ranges.  Factory  preset  is  the  middle 

position favored by most riders. To change (1) Turn off the wireless remote. (2) Remove 

battery cover from base of remote. (3) Set the slide switch according to these guidelines.

Slide switch 

shown in Middle 

position

   

 

- Middle Position - Full speed/controlled acceleration

Recommended for most riders, this factory preset 

setting offers top speed but will accelerate more 

gradually to help keep a rider on the board during 

sudden trigger squeezes.

- Far Right Position - Full speed/full throttle control

Recommended for only the most experienced riders 

offers acceleration in direct response to trigger 

pressure. Sudden trigger squeezes result in immediate 

acceleration – full, direct control so be careful!

- Far Left Position - Low speed maximum

Recommended for beginners and anyone who wants a 

slower, more controlled speed.

time you turn on your board and remote they will search to find each other and link/lock-

on. Follow these steps to get started (one board at a time if in a group)
