Adjustments
Under normal use the Electric Skateboard requires no adjustments.However,it is prudent to
check all fasteners for tightness before every use.The bushings in the trucks are specially
formulated to provide shock absorption and positive steering control for the Electric
Skateboard
RIDING YOUR ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD
BEFORE YOU RIDE
Be sure that you are thoroughly familiar with all of the features and controls discussed in the
previous section.All safety equipment should be worn,even when riding for short distances or
durations.Make sure that the area in which you plan to ride is paved,level,free of
obstacles,clear of power lines,radio antennas,and not crowded.
SAFETY WARNING
You are about to climb aboard a powerful motorized skateboard.If you have doubts about
your ability to ride,
DO NOT RIDE IT!
Know your limits and ride within them.Even if you
are an expert skateboarder,give yourself time to learn the Electric board and ride
conservatively,especially the first few times.Remember,the Electric Skateboard is silent and
others will not hear you coming.Give yourself adequate time to distance to stop and avoid
abstacles and others.
GESTTING STARTED
Make sure the switch to the Electric Skateboard is ‘ON’ and the switch on the hand controller
is ‘OFF’.Step on to the skateboard and assume a normal skateboard stance(leaning
forward,knees slightly bent.)Keeping your fingers off the power lever,turn the switch on the
top of the controller to the ‘ON’ position.Pull the lever for a moment to start the board.Start
off slowly by pulling the lever back until you become comfortable and in control of the speed.
Uphill and Downhill Riding
The Electric Skateboard is far superior to an ordinary skateboard in uphill and downhill
riding.On and uphill run,you will find that you need to keep your weight over the rear wheels
to keep them from slipping.If the hill is too steep,the board will bog down and continued use
may overheat the motor.Stop,step off and walk the steep hills.This board will take lighter
weight riders up hills faster and will slow down as the rider’s weight increases.
On downhill runs,the motor remains engaged at all times.Providing some drag to slow you
down.You also have full braking control.Frequent minor speed corrections with the brakes are
preferable to letting your speed build up and then braking suddenly.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS
AND RIDE WITHIN THEM!
