TeamGee Electric Skateboard Operation Manual

Safety Warning

This Manual is designed for TeamGee H20 mini Electric products only. We provide important safety warnings and precautions in this Manual. Please keep them in mind, to ensure safety and be sure to read this Manual before use.

1. Skateboard has potential risks like other sports, and it might cause injury. When riding the skateboard, the user might tumble due to loss of balance and get injured or even die.
2. Be sure to wear protective gear before use such as: helmet, kneepads, elbow pads, and hand guards.
3. When you use the electric skateboard for the first time, ride it on a safe open ground and practice basic movements such as standing on the board, accelerating, braking and riding on slow mode to avoid getting injured in a collision.
4. Ride the electric skateboard on flat roads with grip in the open space. Do not ride it on potholes/sand/gravel/muddy/uneven or slanted roads. Do not ride on slippery roads, such as snowy/icy and wet roads to prevent wobbling in use. It is also very dangerous to ride the skateboard on a slope, particularly when riding downhill. Always ride the skateboard within your ability.
5. Do not touch the motors with bare hands immediately after riding the skateboard; otherwise, you may get burnt and/or have other collateral damage.
6. Do not ride the skateboard at night or in a low visible environment.
7. Beginner-level skateboarders should not try to do fancy skateboarding tricks on the electric skateboard, such as an ollie, emergency brake, or carving to avoid getting injured or damaging the skateboard.
8. Minors should be accompanied by parents when riding the electric skateboard and should not use a mobile phone or wear headphones when riding.
9. Please check your shoelaces before riding the skateboard and avoid contact between your shoelaces and the wheel driving system to avoid danger.
10. This electric skateboard has the function of power regeneration. Due to the power regeneration, the skateboard battery will be overcharged when riding downhill and using the brake when the battery is full. This will affect the battery life. If the voltage is higher than the safe value, the remote control will vibrate to remind the user, then the user needs to stop riding downhill and find a flat ground or ride uphill to use the battery and it will be safe to ride downhill again afterward.
11. Pay attention to the standing posture of your feet when riding and do not step on the front and rear wheel of the skateboard to avoid danger when riding.

Instruction for malfunction alarm

1. Battery low voltage alarm

When the remote control battery power is only about 10% (enough for 30 minutes use), its 10% power displays and with double long vibrations; when its power is only about 5% (enough for 15 minutes use), its 5% battery power displays and with a long vibration; when the power is lower than the safe use voltage (3.4V), remote control and skateboard disconnect, then remote control will automatically shut down after a short vibration.

When the skateboard power is less than 25%, 25% skateboard power displays and with double long vibrations. When skateboard power is less than 10%, 10% skateboard power displays and with a long vibration. When the voltage is lower than the safe use voltage, the power output is turned off, and the user should brake as soon as possible.

Note: When the remote control or the skateboard starts to be reminded for the second time, the user should stop using it and charge the related equipment to avoid damage to the lithium battery due to over discharge.

2. Signal loss alarm

When the signal is suddenly lost, the remote control screen prompts "disconnected" and is accompanied by a short vibration. If the skateboard is accelerating, the acceleration will slow down first, and then it starts to automatically brake slowly; if there is no acceleration operation, the skateboard will slowly brake. After the signal is lost, the remote control will start to search for the skateboard. When the skateboard and remote control reconnect successfully, the remote control will vibrate once and the gradual brake will disappear, then back to normal use.

3. Motor wheels blocked alarm

When motor wheels are blocked or completely stuck, the remote control displays an overheat icon on its screen and with intermittent vibrations, then the motor will stop working.

Note: The user should pay attention to the motor temperature. When the motor wheel is overheated, the user should stop using it and wait for the temperature to decrease before using it.

4. Overheated alarm

When the temperature of the operating motor is higher than 100 °C or lower than 0 °C, the remote controller vibrates once and displays "overheat", then the motor will stop working.

Note: The user should pay attention to the motor temperature. When the motor is overheated, the user should stop using it and wait for the temperature to decrease before the next use.

5. Overcurrent alarm

When operating motor current exceeds its maximum allowed, the remote controller screen prompts "overcurrent", and the motor will stop working.

Packaging List

The packaging list includes the electric skateboard, remote control, charging cable, tools, and user manual.

Simply learn the electric skateboard and prepare for the first ride

1. Power-on: Turn on the power switch of the skateboard first (the switch is the POWER button on the cover plate at the bottom of the skateboard), and then turn on the power switch of the remote control.
2. Inspect the speed mode: Inspect the speed modes of the remote control. It is advised that a beginner should put the speed mode on low-speed during the first use. Please select the appropriate speed mode according to your familiarity with the skateboard.
3. Stand on the board: Stand with your feet wider, stand on the deck, and with the support of another person or the wall, try to stand on the deck steadily. Before standing on the skateboard, pull the throttle on the remote control all the way down to lock the board, which will help you to stay stabilized on the skateboard. Bend your knees slightly, as this will help you keep balance.
4. Control the forward acceleration: If it is your first time standing on the skateboard, pull the throttle of the remote control all the way down (braking status), then stand on the skateboard and you will be stable. Then try to push the throttle upward to accelerate slowly. For beginners, please push the throttle to accelerate slowly, and if you push it too fast, you might lose balance and fall from the skateboard. When accelerating, lean forward, put the center of your body weight on the front foot, and you will be safer.
5. Turning: Take an example of the standing posture with the left foot in front of the right; it will be opposite if the user adopts the standing posture with the right foot in front of the left.
   1. Keep your balance, and bend your knees slightly.
   2. Turn left: make the center of your body weight backward slightly, press your weight toward the heel, and you will find that you start to turn left.
   3. Turn right: make the center of your body weight forward slightly, press your weight toward the tiptoe, and you will find that you start to slide forward right.
6. Decelerate and brake: If you spot an obstacle or danger ahead, act on it beforehand and pull the throttle downward slowly until you reach a full brake. Do not slam the brake to avoid wobbles; in an emergency, keep calm to deal with it.
7. Power-off: Turn off the power switch of the electric skateboard and remote control respectively. If the electric skateboard and remote control are not operated within 10 min, they will be shut down automatically. After the skateboard is used, store your remote control properly and do not let it get played with by children or kept by people who don't know how to use the skateboard to avoid triggering the remote control by mistake and causing danger.

Charging

Instructions for Safe Use of Battery

Overview: Like people, the skateboard also needs to rest and to be charged. Before charging the electric skateboard, be sure to check whether the voltage of the power grid of your country matches the charger, and carefully read the precautions in this chapter. More importantly, it is not allowed to leave the electric skateboard charged at home for a long time. Failing to charge the skateboard according to this Manual might cause fire and explosions in serious cases.

• Be sure to carefully read and observe the safety tips in this Manual before charging.
• When you don't know how to operate, please read this Manual.
• For safety, please pay attention during charging the electric skateboard and remote control. Unplug the charging cable after the skateboard is fully charged.
• To protect the battery life, do not charge the skateboard immediately after use; instead, wait for half an hour and charge it when the temperature of the internal battery and the remote control drops.
• Do not charge the electric skateboard and remote control with the charging equipment from other brands rather than the original charger; otherwise, it might cause fire and even explosions in serious cases.
• Do not replace the original charging plug, which might be dangerous.
• It is forbidden to charge in the process of use. Such operation will cause serious consequence, such as fire or explosions.
• Please keep the electric skateboard far away from liquids, inflammables, explosives, and other hazardous substances during charging. It is forbidden to cover its surface with any objects, and ensure it is well ventilated.

Guide for Charging of Skateboard

Before charging, turn off the power switch of the skateboard, reverse the skateboard with its surface facing downward and lay it flat, connect the charging cable to the charging port of the skateboard. For charging of the skateboard, connect the power supply according to the sequence shown in the figure below. When the skateboard has been fully charged, the indicator light on the power adapter will turn green from red, which means charging is completed and the charger can be unplugged.

Skills for Riding the Skateboard

We have always put user safety first, and this is why we prepared this chapter to remind you to pay attention to the dangerous roads. For certain special roads, we will describe them as examples, and users are advised to keep off these roads to avoid danger.

Note: We recommend users not to ride the skateboard on non-motorized vehicle lanes (even driveways). The urban traffic situation is very complex and dangerous. Please be responsible for your safety and be concentrated during the ride.

Safe Riding

• Please wear protective gear before riding.
• Please don't pass through the following traffic conditions or road conditions if you can avoid them.

Speed bumps:

This electric skateboard can go over speed bumps. When traveling over a speed bump or preparing to go over a speed bump, maintain a certain speed, keep balance, but do not try it as a beginner.

Bumpy road:

When riding on such roads, the bumpy roads may make the wheel suspend in the air and lose the grip. So please maintain low speeds and keep ridings straight as much as possible.

Junction of sidewalk and lane:

Usually, there are steps and even gaps less than 3cm at the junction of roads. When passing through or getting ready to pass through it, maintain a certain speed and plan the riding route to make it form an angle of 45° with the junction.

Small pits on the roads:

Be careful to avoid these “traps”. If the pit is big, the wheel might get stuck. If your wheel gets stuck in the pit during riding, it will lead to very serious consequence and injury.

Roads with striped crosswalks:

Pedestrian crossings seem to be very safe; however, when the road is wet (the dew in the morning or after raining), the grip provided by the road is very limited. Therefore, when passing through these types of roads covered with paint, do not accelerate fiercely, and do not change direction violently.

Underground garage:

Similar to the pedestrian crossing, the underground garage may also be covered with one layer of paint. If there is water on these types of roads, the grip will be very limited. Therefore, when passing through, do not accelerate fiercely, and do not change direction violently.

Cars parking by the roadside:

Some careless or reckless motor vehicle drivers might not see the rearview mirror when starting, and they will pay no attention to approaching of your skateboard. In such case, slow down as much as possible, particularly at the junction, check whether the automotive front wheel is going to turn.

Roadside pedestrians:

In crowded places, slow down as much as possible, and when the pedestrians are calling or surfing the Internet on their cell phone, they will be unaware of your skateboard getting close.

Water-logged roads:

Considering the potential hazard for electronic components, please avoid immersing the skateboard in water. In water-logged places, there might be a big pit, and the tire might get stuck and cause serious sequence and injury.

Prompt: The damage to the electric skateboard caused by immersion in water will not be within the scope of warranty.

Precautions for Safe Use of Skateboard

Battery:

Forbid plugging conductive objects into the charging interface; otherwise, the internal electronic devices in the skateboard might be short-circuited and damaged, and it might even be dangerous. Please use the electric skateboard at 10-30°C as much as possible; otherwise, it will accelerate the aging of the battery at high or low temperature, accelerate the attenuation of battery capacity, shorten the battery life, and reduce the driving mileage.

In the case of failure with the battery, dispose of it by the authorized agent of electric skateboard, and forbid dismantling and adapting it without permission.

Charging:

The lithium battery has no memory function and it can be charged whenever needed. To extend the battery life maximally, please fully charge the battery every time after riding. If you charge the skateboard battery only when it has been used up, the lithium battery will be over-discharged, and the battery life will sharply decline. Do not charge the over-discharged lithium battery (it cannot be charged)! There is a potential safety hazard with the over-discharged battery, so please scrap the battery.

If you don't ride the electric skateboard for a long time, put it in a cool and dry indoor place, fully charge the battery, maintain at least 80% battery level, and charge it at least once every two months.

Cleaning:

Ensure the skateboard is powered off, unplug the charging cable, snap the dust cap off the charging interface, then wipe the shell or surface of the electric skateboard with a wet cloth, and don't allow water to flow into the charging interface or the shell of the electric parts, to avoid damaging the electric skateboard.

Maintenance:

Regularly inspect the bridge nuts and truck bolts at the installation position of the front and rear bridge component, and tighten them right away if they are loose.

If there is a "chatter" sound during riding, add a few drops of lubricating oil at the position of bridge PU and top PU in time to lighten the wear.

Please regularly check whether the left and right PU wheels of the skateboard and motor PU jacket are worn seriously, whether the bearing is worn and makes abnormal sounds and the skateboard slides smoothly. For seriously worn PU wheels, please have it replaced by the authorized agent or dealer's customer service staff.

Regular use of high-temperature lubricating oil in the motor PU groove can prolong the service life of the motor PU wheel and reduce the noise in the driving process.

Note: The following illustration shows how to replace PU wheels and maintenance.

Diagram showing skateboard wheel and motor components for maintenance.

Transport:

Note: The lithium battery is usually classified as a hazardous article according to shipping laws. If you need to transport a lithium battery, please observe the requirements of local laws and regulation. To facilitate after-sales service, return and replacement of goods, please keep the original package of the whole skateboard properly; if the skateboard needs to be repaired, please transport it with the original package and pack it tightly, to avoid secondary damage in transit. Thanks for your support.
