Boosted Plus Electric Skateboard User Manual

YOUR BOARD CAN LOSE POWER AND BRAKES AT ANY MOMENT due to radio interference, a dead remote battery, unintentional release of the Engage Button, downhill overcharging of a full battery, and other factors.

Only ride your Boosted board at speeds and on hills where you’d be comfortable without power and brakes.
BRAKING DOWNHILL ON A FULL BATTERY WILL CAUSE BOARD SHUTDOWN since regenerative braking will overcharge the battery.

To prevent this from happening, the remote will warn you by beeping, and you’ll lose your braking power. Safely come to a stop before this happens, and ride on flats or uphill to drain the battery before attempting downhill again.
THE THROTTLE IN EXPERT AND PRO MODE IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE to make the board responsive and fun, but it also means fast or sudden inputs can easily cause you to fall off. Start by trying to move forward as slowly as possible in these modes.

HILLS AND HIGH SPEED CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS because crashes can cause serious injuries.
Be extra careful when pushing the limits of the board, even if you’re an experienced rider.

CARS AND OTHER VEHICLES CAN KILL YOU, so always be aware of your surroundings when riding in the presence of other vehicles.
Ride defensively and assume other vehicles can’t see you.

Remember that your board may lose power and brakes at any moment. Be aware of the laws that govern the use of your board on public roads, bike paths, sidewalks, or other places that you may ride.
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET. Other safety gear, like gloves, pads, and long sleeves, is highly recommended.

WARNING: Whenever you ride a Boosted board, you risk death or serious injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls.
To ride safely, you must read and follow all warnings and instructions in this manual.

WARNING: Always wear a helmet when riding.
Never ride in water, wet surfaces, in the rain, slippery or uneven surfaces, steep hills, traffic, cracks, train tracks, gravel, rocks, or any obstacles that could cause a loss of traction. Avoid night riding, areas with poor visibility, and narrow spaces.

WARNING: Do not ride a Boosted board in environments, on inclines, or at speeds where you would not be safely in control of an unpowered skateboard.
In the event of wireless interference or battery fault, you may need to rely on skating techniques like footbraking or sliding to stop. For more information, visit the online tutorials at www.support.boostedboards.com.

WARNING: AVOID WATER!
Riding in wet conditions or through puddles can damage the board’s electronics and cause the board to lose power or stop suddenly, causing a risk of loss of control or falls.

WARNING: PINCH POINTS
Keep fingers, hair, and clothing away from belts, motors, wheels, and all moving parts.

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Do not open or tamper with electronics housings, which also voids the warranty.

AVOID THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OR COLLISION:

Riding Basics

ARE YOU A “REGULAR” OR “GOOFY” FOOTED RIDER?
Typically, if you kick a ball with your right foot, you are a regular footed rider. However, this is not always the case! Try both stances to see what feels best. If you don’t know which to choose, one advantage of riding goofy footed is that you can see traffic better.

STANCE
Your Boosted board has a lot of power. Follow these tips to ensure a safe riding experience:

Move the Throttle Wheel in small increments.
Keep a wide stance on the board.

Keep a low center of gravity.
Lean forward when accelerating.
Lean backwards when braking.

Power On/Off the Remote

Power On/Off the Board

Check the Remote-Board Pairing

The Connection and Mode Indicator will turn solid when the board is paired. If the indicator is not lit, check that the board is powered on. If the light is still not lit, press the Multi-Button on the remote 5 times (5x), followed by pressing the Power Button on the board 5 times (5x) rapidly to pair your board. Your board and remote have already been paired in the factory, so you typically only need to do this when pairing to a new board or remote.

To Remove the Battery Pack

First ensure that the board is turned off.
Place the board upside down on a flat surface. Using a 4mm hex wrench, remove the six bolts fastening the battery pack to the deck.

Lift the battery pack to reveal the connector between the deck and battery pack.
Carefully twist and pull the connector apart.

To Replace the Battery Pack

To insert a new battery pack, align the grooves on both ends of the connector (board & battery pack).
Insert, push together, and twist the two ends of the connector together. Make sure to tighten the connector fully to make a good seal.
Ensure the connector lays flat within the groove of the board side by side with the accessory wire.

Replace and tighten the bolts with the hex wrench.
