Maintaining the Drive System and
Using the Tire Gauge:
Your Go Motorboard™ is a high-tech, high-performance personal transport equipped with one of the most
efficient and innovative drive systems ever made for a scooter or any other vehicle. The drive system uses no
gears, no belts, not even a chain. It is silent, vibration free, and weighs less than 3 grams.
The rear tire of your Motorboard™ is actually part of its TRANSMISSION. Rather than using large, noisy,
complicated gears or chains that are messy, noisy and difficult to service, the Go Motorboard™ transmission
works simply by pinching the rear wheel between two custom-wound motors. It is perfectly normal for the
rear wheel sidewalls to wear down with use, much as it is normal for any tire to wear with time. The sidewalls
were designed to wear down at the same rate as they would on normal tire treads with respect to environ-
mental factors such as dirt and sand. The cleaner the road, the longer your tires will last. In order to function
at peak performance, the rear wheel must have a minimum sidewall thickness to operate. Please use the Tire
Gauge (included) to determine when your tire needs to be replaced.
Using the Tire Gauge:
The Tire Gauge is actually three tools in one:
1) Check tire wall thickness
2) Check for flat spots on the tire
3) Tire crown, or the cross section of the tire
Checking the Sidewall:
1) IMPORTANT: There are two motors, one on each side of the tire, so it is impor-
tant to check both sides of the tire.
2) Wipe off the grey-blue rim and tire in the area you will be checking.
3) Position the Tire Gauge on the rear tire as shown in the picture to the right. The
Tire Gauge sits on the plastic rim of the wheel, next to the orange tire.
4) The orange material of the sidewall must be higher (thicker) than the thickness of
the Tire Gauge. If it is just level or thinner, then its time to replace the tire.
