3.6. RIDING NOTES
Regular / Goofy: If you’re unfamiliar with board sports, try the above steps (with the board
off) standing on the ZBoard with your left foot closest to the front nose of the board
(“regular”), then again in mirror image with your right foot forward (“goofy”), to find which
stance is most comfortable. For reference, the motor is mounted to the rear of the board.
Whichever you prefer, the ZBoard is designed to work equally for both stances. .
Turning: When starting out, we recommend you shift back to the Coast stance when you
are attempting to turn. As you get more comfortable, you can begin turning while in the
acceleration stance by
using your back foot to tilt the board . For best results, adjust your
rear foot placement in favor of the edge of the board you are turning towards.
One Footpad at a Time: Input from the rear footpad will override input from the front
footpad. This is a safety feature. For the best experience, do not put your feet on both
footpads at the same time.
Riding Down Hills: We recommend that you lower your speed before a decline and
position yourself on the brake. Modulate pressure on the brake to maintain a safe speed.
Riding Up Hills: Entering inclines with some speed will improve the ZBoard’s performance
up hills and put less load on its electronics. If you find that your wheels begin losing
traction, the hill is too steep. For the safety of yourself and your board, please find another
route or carry your ZBoard until the incline becomes less steep. Riding up hills reduces
battery life and puts additional stress on your speed controller, belt, drive wheel, and other
components, and should be avoided when possible.
Tacking: “Tacking” is the application of weight onto the kicktail of the deck behind the rear
axle, lifting the front wheels off the ground, and rotating weight to turn the board in place.
If you know how to “tack” the board around, please do so carefully. Avoid slamming the
board 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!
