    • Almost done! While you apply the griptape I recommend to charge the board. It is shipped almost fully discharged for safety. Dont forget to charge the remote as well!

    • Note: we are not using upgraded chargers that look slightly different

  31. Apply the griptape hexagons however you see fit! You can use the included Y Spacer to get even spacing between all of the hexagons.
    • Apply the griptape hexagons however you see fit! You can use the included Y Spacer to get even spacing between all of the hexagons.

    • Take your time, and try to make it look organized!

    • WARNINGS!

    • VERY IMPORTANT: Do NOT leave the switch in the on position when not using the board! It will completely drain the battery (and make in unusable). Remember to turn the board off after every ride.

    • If you are not going to use the board for 2 weeks or more, be sure to charge the battery to 36V and unplug it.

    • ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET! THEY SAVE LIVES. DONT WEAR IT FOR YOU, WEAR IT FOR YOUR FAMILY.

    • Electric skateboarding is a very fun and rewarding sport. But, everyone has fallen off their board at some point. It's not a matter of if it will happen, but when it will happen. Please wear at least a helmet and always ride within your comfort zone

    • Treat the board with respect! It is a vehicle after all. Do NOT drop the board from a vertical position to set it down as it put a lot of stress on the enclosure. Give the board a good once over before every ride to make sure bolts are tight and things look normal.

    • NEVER CHANGE THE FIRMWARE ON THE VESC! IF YOU ARE HAVING AN ISSUE REACH OUT TO SUPPORT BEFORE CHANGING ANY SETTINGS ON THE VESC!

  32. Its time to ride! The remote has three acceleration modes
    • Its time to ride! The remote has three acceleration modes

    • Red = full acceleration

    • Yellow = medium acceleration

    • Green = low acceleration (beginner)

    • When riding for the first time make sure you are in the green mode. Then slowly work you way up to red. THE BOARD HAS MORE POWER THAN YOU REALIZE.

    • ALWAYS RESPECT THE BOARD AND RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS. OBEY ALL TRAFFIC LAWS AND WEAR A HELMET.
