Overview Description
This section describes with more detail the highlighted parts in the Overview Section
Power Button:
This button turns the remote controller on and off. Additionally, it can be
used to toggle the speed mode of the board. Turning the board on/off: Hold
this button to turn the remote controller on or off
Changing Speed Mode:
Short press this button to toggle through the Speed Mode (See also: Basic
Functions: Speed Modes)
Reverse Button:
The reverse functionality of this remote controller is production-dependent.
The remote can be put into reverse in one of two ways depending on the
production time of the remote and the board it is being used with.
- Option 1: Short press the reverse button to toggle between reverse or forward modes.
- Option 2: Hold this button for 3-5s to toggle between reverse or forward modes.
Please note: Reverse mode can only be toggled while the board is stationary. Additionally, the communication light will indicate green for forward and red for reverse.
Throttle/Roller:
The Throttle is used to control the output of the motors, either accelerating
or braking. With your index finger through the handle and hand gripping the
remote control, use your thumb to gently push the throttle forward or backward
to either accelerate or brake respectively. It is best to use slow controlled
movements on the throttle to ensure that the board is controlled in a safe and
expected manner. See also Advanced Functions: Smart Speed Mode Changing.
Communication Light:
The communication light flashes when it communicates with the board. The
communication light will be solid (not flashing) when it is not communicating
with the board. For example; when the remote is switched on and the board is
switched off. The colour of light indicates which direction the motors are set
to. Green for forward (RWD) and Red for Reverse (FWD)
Battery Indicators:
There are 4 red lights next to a small picture of a skateboard. While the
board is switched on these lights will indicate the battery level of the
board. While the board is switched off these lights will flash the battery
level of the remote before switching the remote off. When the remote is
plugged into charge, these lights will indicate the charge level of the remote
controller and flash up until all four lights are solid, indicating a charged
remote battery. These lights can also indicate what speed mode and braking
mode the board is set to. See: Basic Functions: Speed Modes and Advanced
Functions: Changing braking sensitivity
Pairing Button:
This small button is on the back rear side of the remote controller and is
used when completing the reset or pairing process. Otherwise, this button is
rarely used. To operate this button you will need a small tool like a tiny hex
key or a toothpick. See Pairing Process for step-by-step instructions.
Remote Battery Warning Light:
If this light is on and flashing during operation it means that the remote
controller battery is very low and needs to be charged as soon as possible.
Continuing to use the remote controller while this light is flashing can cause
damage to the remote controller battery. Additionally, when the remote is
critically low on charge the board can only brake and not accelerate. This
light will display red while the remote is plugged in to charge.
Micro USB Charging Port:
Insert the provided micro USB cable here and connect to the standard 5V USB
port to charge the remote controller.
Basic Functions
Speed Modes
The remote controller has 4 different speed modes:
- Slow Mode
- Medium Mode
- Fast Mode: Economic
- Fast Mode: High Power
To change the speed mode of the remote controller, tap the power button and continue to tap the power button until the desired speed mode is selected.The Battery Indicators will change to display which speed mode you are currently using. The bottom battery indicator being 1. Slow Mode and the top battery indicator being 4. Fast Mode: High Power. There is another way to control the speed modes of the board, see: Advance Functions: Smart Speed Mode Changing
Pairing Process
The pairing process is used to pair a new or existing remote controller to
your board. To pair the remote controller:
- Turn on the board
- Hold the boards power button for ~7 seconds
- The board indicator will flash to indicate that it is in pairing mode
- Turn on the remote controller
- Tap the small pair button with a small tool or toothpick
- The remote should now pair to the board: Communication light flashing and battery indicators showing the battery level of the board.
Charging Process
The remote is charged using a Micro USB cable connected to the remote
controller and a standard 5V USB port (USB port on a computer for example).
The Battery Indicators will flash around in a repeating pattern indicating the
remote is charging. Once all four battery indicator lights are solid (not
flashing), the remote controller is fully charged. The battery takes 20 mins
to charge to 50% and usually charges within an hour from empty.
Auto power off
The remote will automatically turn off after 30 seconds when the remote cannot
find a powered-on and paired board. The remote will automatically turn off if
the remote battery approaches 1% charge. When the remote controller battery is
critically low, the Remote Battery Warning Light will be on and flashing.
Advanced Functions
Smart Speed Mode Changing
While under throttle, reduce speed back to the neutral position with the thumb
lever slowly, then without braking, accelerate upwards again with the thumb
lever. This will cycle you through the speed modes continuously in an
increasing manner without having to press any other buttons or distract
yourself from riding safely. The speed mode will not be increased if you
engage the brakes, for safety reasons.
Braking sensitivity
The remote controller has 4 different braking sensitivity modes. To change the
braking sensitivity of the remote controller, while the board and remote are
switched on and stationary, hold the brakes down on the roller/throttle and
tap the power button. Continue to tap the power button while holding the
brakes until the desired braking mode is selected. The battery indicators will
flash to display which braking mode you are currently using. The bottom
battery indicator being reduced sensitivity and the top battery indicator
being increased sensitivity.
Reset Process
This process can be used to reset the remote controller back to factory
settings. This process can be useful if you are experiencing abnormal
behaviour from the throttle.
To complete the reset process:
- With the remote controller switched off
- Hold the pair button with a small tool or toothpick
- While holding the pair button hold the power button on the remote until the communication light turns green.
Troubleshooting
Please see the table below for some troubleshooting tips. If you have any questions or concerns contact support on the email address at the start of this document.
I can brake but not accelerate| Check that the remote battery warning light is
flashing, if it is, try to charge the remote controller; see Charging
Process
---|---
My board does not respond to the remote| Charge Remote, see Charging Process
Pair Remote, see Pairing Process
Check that the remote is not currently experiencing Signal Loss Otherwise; contact support.
Signal Loss| When the remote controller signal is interrupted:
– Acceleration will cease if throttle is applied when disconnection occurs.
– Braking will continue for very short period, if brakes were applied when signal loss occurs
The remote will attempt to reconnect to the board in a short period of time.
Resetting (turning off and on) the board and remote may be required if signal occurs for a longer period of time.
Potential Signal Loss Causes:
– Large vibrations on the board
– Large Electromagnetic radiation in environment
– Similar Bluetooth style devices close to the remote controller
My board is not as fast| Check that your remote is fully charged and that you
are in the correct speed mode. See: Speed Modes
My board is braking or accelerating without input| Check the Throttle/Roller
for any visual damage that could cause the throttle to get stuck in a
position.
Try the Remote Reset Process: See Reset Process
Otherwise: Contact support
