Before using the skateboard, it is important to wear personal protection as indicated in the diagram provided in the manual. To start the skateboard, hold the power button for 3 seconds on both the board and remote. The remote control and board are factory paired but if required, they can be paired by holding the power button on both the board and remote at the same time for 3 seconds. Follow the screen prompts on the remote control to select features on your board and press the power button to confirm your choice and advance to the next screen. The skateboard comes with a DIY Wheel Setup Sheet that provides information on wheel size, gear ratio, and pole pairs for different wheel sizes. The user can select the drivetrain setup on their board using the throttle wheel and select the wheel size, gear ratio, and a number of pole pairs for their board’s motor configuration.

The board is equipped with a large battery capacity of 51V 820Wh that can be charged in 3.5 hours with a super-fast charge of 5A. The board has a driven distance of 2WD-65KM / 4WD-45KM and can handle uphill slopes of up to 35 degrees easily. The board is equipped with a synchronous four-wheel drive that provides better handling and burst power. The board has marker light colors of red+white that provide visibility during night-time riding.

To activate the board lighting on or off and to switch between lighting modes, double-click the power button on the remote control. The remote control has a fingerprint sensor that can be used for security purposes. The remote control has a
forward/reverse toggle that allows the user to switch between forward and reverse directions. It is important to store and maintain the skateboard properly to ensure its longevity. The skateboard should be stored in a dry and cool place and the wheels should be cleaned regularly. The user should also check the screws and belts for any wear and tear and replace them if necessary.
