RIDING ON HILLS
DO NOT RIDE IN WET CONDITIONS
•
Riding on hills can be extremely dangerous; what goes up must come
down! If you ride up a steep hill and you intend to ride down this same
hill, you must know how to control your speed without the use of the
skateboard brakes. Heavy braking on steep terrain could cause the
motors to overheat and then you may not have the skateboard braking
system available to assist you.
•
Your Evolve Skateboard can climb hills of up to 35% gradients. Riding
continuously on steep hills will put massive stress on your board, the
motors and the brakes.
•
If you feel the board slowing down on a steep hill, this may be the
protections providing you warning that the board is working too hard. You
must consider stopping to avoid risking damage to your board and the
electronics.
NOTE:
Damage from overloading the electronics and the motors is
not covered by warranty.
•
Riding in wet conditions will significantly reduce grip. This may result
in the board aquaplaning or sliding from under your feet or the wheels
slipping or sliding. It will also take longer for you to brake or stop. The risk
of a crash is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
•
Your Evolve Skateboard may be able to withstand light rain and small
splashes, but is not designed to be subjected to inclement weather,
extremely heavy showers or submersion in water. Water damage is not
covered under warranty.
