About the ExSkate App

About the ExSkate App
The ExSkate app was created to make your experience riding on Exway boards even more fun and unique to you. Retaining all the functions of our previous app, ExSkate adds on more utility and functionality for the rider with GPS ride tracking, accessory control, cloud sync board settings, and more to be added with future updates.
Revamped software and hardware platform
Many of the new software features would not have been possible to implement with our second generation hardware, so along with ExSkate, we’ve revamped our core hardware systems with the R3 remote and ESC 3.0 controller. To use ExSkate, a device will need to have third generation hardware and above. Our second gen boards including the X series, Wave, Atlas Carbon, Flex, and Flex ER will continue
Redesigned UI
With ExSkate, we’ve moved all the essential features riders would typically access during a ride like ride data, route navigation, and board status to the home page for quick and easy access. The rest of the UI has also been optimized to be more intuitive to use.
