What if I have to travel with a damaged rear wheel?
Some tips for emergency travel:
1) If the wheel is wet, then you should dry it, especially the sidewalls.
2) If you see the “eraser grit” on the sidewalls, use your thumb to rub as much off as you can.
3) Swap the front and rear tires as soon as possible. Using the damaged tire in the front will not
reduce the performance. However, you should replace the damaged tire as soon as possible and
ride at a reduced, safer speed.
Why am I having difficulty folding my Motorboard?
Avoid using extra force to move the folding mechanism. Crunching or grinding resistance is caused by
trapped grit
. This grit can gouge the aluminum parts if you forcefully move the folding mechanism. Thor-
oughly clean the entire Motorboard and lubricate it before attempting to fold it again.
Can I leave the Motorboard plugged into the charger?
Yes. You can leave the charger on the Motorboard indefinitely without harming the battery.
What is the Tire Gauge?
The Go Motorboard drive system works by having the motors make direct contact with the sidewalls of
the rear wheel. It is normal that over time, the sidewalls of the rear wheel will wear down, and eventually
cause degraded performance. The rear wheel and the front wheel can be swapped, but once both wheels
have worn down, a new wheel must be purchased. You can use the included Tire Gauge to help you deter-
mine when the rear wheel is worn down. Detailed instructions on its use can be found on our web site,

Why do the lights on the charger blink red-green-red-green?
There are three reasons that the lights may blink in this manner. First, you must plug the charger into the
Motorboard first, then plug the power cord into the wall socket. If you do not follow this procedure, the
charger lights will blink red-green, and no charging will occur. Second, if you attempt to charge a hot bat-
tery, immediately after riding, the charger lights may blink red-green. If this occurs, wait 10 minutes for the
battery to cool, then charge the battery. Third, if you attempt to charge the Motorboard and the ambient
temperature is less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the charger lights may blink red-green. If this occurs, bring
the Motorboard up to room temperature, and try to charge again.
