OWNER’S MANUAL

  READ BEFORE YOU RIDE!

ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET when riding the board Other protective gear like wrist guards, gloves, elbow and knee pads are also strongly recommended.

THE BOARD MAY LOSE POWER OR BRAKES Ride at speeds manageable without power or brakes.
DO NOT ride downhill on a full charge. This will damage the battery.

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.

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.

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, 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.

CHARGER

Hoyt St chargers are UL certified and built with the highest level of quality and safety. To charge your Hoyt board, plug in the charger to the port located at the bottom right underside of the board Lift open the charging port and insert the charger A red LED will light up while charging and turn green when fully charged The process requires ~2 hrs. Never leave your board unattended while charging and avoid leaving plugged in for extended periods, like overnight.

TIP 1: The batteries will not be damaged in any way by operating the board after a partial charging session.
TIP 2: Be wary of quick charge claims by resellers. A charge time of 2-3hrs for a 260WH lithium ion battery is recommended by industry experts. An accelerated charging session requires a higher current flow to the cells and may shorten battery life.

CAUTION: The majority of lithium ion battery accidents occur during the charging process. Only use Hoyt St’s supplied charger. Using a different charger may damage the batteries, shorten their life cycles, or even cause fires.

OPERATION
GETTING STARTED

CHARGE THE DECK

Full charge = 2 hours

Charger light turns green when deck is fully charged.

CHARGE THE REMOTE

Full charge = 8 hours of use on a full charge. When charging, LEDs glow red until full charge reached, then green. While riding, click the power button once to check state of charge.
Blue = 8 to 4½ hours
Green = 4½ to 1 hour
Yellow = 1 hour to 20 min
Red = <20 min

OPERATION
LET’S RIDE!

SAFETY FIRST

ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET and consider other protective equipment.

Verify the board is functioning (without rider) in a flat, open area clear of obstructions.

If this is your first ride, we urge you to get a feel for the power and nuance of the board In beginner mode.

Beware of obstacles that may cause control issues: gravel and rocks, cracks and tracks, grates and drains, water and ice, etc.

Remember skateboarding is a dangerous activity, capable of causing serious injury or death. Take necessary precautions to avoid both.

STANCE

Position your body to brace yourself against the forces of acceleration and deceleration.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Every several rides inspect all screws, nuts and bolts, and tighten as necessary Ensure belts are under proper tension.

Remote Control (Re-)Pairing: Pairing is the process of wirelessly coupling your remote control transmitter with the receiver built into the board so other transmitters cannot interfere with data transmission. To re- pair the remote:

• Turn off skateboard and remote control.
• Simultaneously hold the Power Mode and Reverse buttons until remote control LEDs flash green rapidly
• Turn on skateboard’s power. Pairing is complete when the remote vibrates and stops flashing.

Changing Wheels (wheel pulley transfer):

• Remove screws from wheel pulley and remove hub cap.
• Remove the pulley from the wheel with a pulley puller or arbor press.
• Use a rubber mallet or arbor press to press the pulley into the new wheel.
• Reinstall the screws and hubcap using Loctite blue.

Hoyt St will transfer your wheel pulleys to new wheels free of charge (excluding shipping) when new wheels purchased from Hoytskate.com. Contact hoytskate@hoytskate.com for details.

Wheel bearings: Electric skateboards can easily travel hundreds of miles at high speeds over several sessions; it is imperative that the bearings 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 carries. Avoid riding in the rain or be prepared to replace/clean your bearings more frequently.

Belt maintenance: Hoyt St 300-5M-15 belts have been built to last hundreds of miles without replacement.

1. 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.
2. Belt replacement:
   • Unscrew 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.
   • Once the wheel is off, unscrew the four bolts on the motor gear cover.
   • Remove the old belt and place the new belt around the motor gear.
   • Add the motor gear cover and firmly screw into place.
   • Ensure motor pulley is fully pressed against motor.
   • Install 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.
3. Belt tension: Proper tension is a key performance factor. Your board comes preassembled with optimal tension.
   • Excessive belt tension can lead to increased rolling resistance, lower range, more noise and belt failure
   • Low tension leads to pulley slippage during hard acceleration and braking.
4. Belt tension adjustment:
   • Important: Loosen but do not remove the bolts. Use Allen wrench included with purchase.
   • Loosen two hex bolts located on inside of the motor mount alongside 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.
