WARNING!
- RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. Skateboarding, electric or otherwise, is a dangerous activity. You put yourself at risk of death or serious injury every time you ride a skateboard. Appropriate precautions naturally mitigate these risks.
- NEVER CHARGE your board UNATTENDED!
- AVOID WATER! Your Hoyt St board is water resistant, not waterproof. The electronics and other components are susceptible to water damage.
- ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK when opening the deck to remove batteries, avoid touching the encased electronics and blade connectors, particularly with metal, as it can damage the electronics and deliver an electric shock.
- PINCH POINTS at the motor end of your board can grab fingers, hair, and loose clothing. Keep clear of the motors, belts, pulleys and other moving parts.
- MAINTENANCE is important to keep your board in safe and optimal condition. Familiarize yourself with the maintenance section of this manual and establish a regular schedule of care. If your board is behaving irregularly, please contact hoytskate@hoytskate.com so we can troubleshoot the problem together.
READ BEFORE YOU RIDE !
- ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET when riding the board. Other protective gears like wrist guards, gloves, and elbow and knee pads are also strongly recommended.
- THE BOARD MAY LOSE POWER OR BRAKES due to low batteries or regenerative braking overcharge. Ride at speeds manageable without power or brakes.
- DO NOT ride downhill on a full charge.
- It is strongly recommended all riders take their first rides in LEARNING MODE (Mode 1) and slowly elevate modes to learn the feel and power of the board.
- HILLS AND HIGH SPEED can be very dangerous. Always assume you may need to foot brake your way out of a sticky situation and never ride faster than you can stop. Ride within your capabilities.
- NEVER ride the board while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
- PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH HEAT may damage the electronics. Avoid leaving your board in a hot car or trunk.
- LEARN AND OBEY local traffic laws.
- SHARE the road. Be courteous of cyclists, pedestrians, and other modes of transport.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE
TIRES, WHEELS AND PULLEYS
- Rotate your front and rear tires when the tread is worn down
- Replace tires when worn down to the cords.
- When removing wheels, keep track of the spacers on the axle and replace in the same position/order.
- Urethane pulleys are press fit and bolted-on. Once bolts are removed, some prying and force is required to remove the pulley.
- Be sure to use blue Loctite on the screws when reinstalling pulleys.
Hoyt St will transfer your wheel pulleys to new wheels free of charge when new
wheels are purchased from Hoytskate.com.
IMPORTANT: For optimal safety and range, always use wheel spacers and
washers against both the trucks and bolts in the wheel assembly.
Tip: Watch instructional videos at the Hoytskate YouTube channel.
Belt Tension: Proper tension is a key performance factor. Your board comes preassembled with optimal tension.
- Excessive belt tension leads to increased rolling resistance, lower range and possible belt failure.
- Low tension leads to pulley slippage during acceleration and braking. A low-pitched vibrating noise will accompany the slipping action. After springs tension the mount, tighten the grub screw so the belts stay tight.
Belt Tension Adjustment:
- Important: Loosen but do not remove the bolts and nuts.
- Loosen the two hex bolts located on the motor mount alongside the tension springs.
- Once the hex is loosened, the motor mount springs will auto-set the belt tension.
- If necessary, manually adjust the belt and motor mount for proper alignment and re-tighten the bolts.
Belt maintenance: Hoyt St belts have been built to last hundreds of miles without replacement.
- Inspect belts and pulleys periodically by manually rotating the wheels. Remove any sharp objects and debris that may have lodged in the belt or pulley teeth.
- Belt replacement:
- Unscrew the wheel nut, carefully setting aside washers.
- Pull the wheel and pulley assembly off the belt by gently rotating the wheel while nudging the belt towards the truck.
- Remove the motor pulley cover, then the old belt, and place the new belt around the motor gear.
- Replace the motor pulley cover.
- Ensure the motor gear is fully pressed against the motor.
- Install the first wheel washer. Align the bearing spacer with the hole and install the wheel and pulley onto the axle and over the belt. Add the second washer.
Wheel bearings: Electric skateboards can easily travel hundreds of miles at high speeds over several sessions; the bearings must be maintained for rider safety. Periodically check for noise. A grinding or squeaking noise may indicate compromised bearings. Bearings should either be replaced or cleaned every three hundred miles. No skateboard bearings are fully protected from the debris that rainwater and mud carry. Avoid riding in the rain or be prepared to replace/clean your bearings more frequently.
Every several rides inspect all screws, nuts, and bolts, and tighten as necessary. Ensure belts are under proper tension.
