GOING DOWN A HILL:
We recommend that you reduce speed before descending any
slope, and position yourself in the BRAKING stance for the duration. Make sure to modulate
pressure on the brake to maintain a safe speed.
GOING UP A HILL:
Entering inclines with some speed will improve the ZBoard’s
performance up hills and put less stress on the electronics. If you find that your wheels begin
losing traction or the ZBoard struggles to maintain speed, the hill is too steep. For the safety
of yourself and your board, please find another route or carry the board until the incline
becomes less steep. Riding up hills can dramatically reduce battery life and puts additional
stress on your speed controller, belt, drive wheel, and other components, and should be
avoided when possible.
TACKING:
Avoid slamming the ZBoard back down on the ground as this may cause
components to come loose or be damaged.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. START SLOW, BE SAFE, AND HAVE FUN!
