Pre-Ride Checklist
Before each ride, it is crucial to inspect your board and remote for any damage. Do not ride if the board is damaged.
- Check if the parts are deformed or worn.
- Check if the screws are loose before use and often throughout ownership.
- After the skateboard is started, check for abnormal sounds. Do not use it until the cause of the abnormal sound is found and resolved.
- Check both the front and rear trucks and ensure that all four wheels are secure.
- Be sure to maintain your tire pressure.
- Properly secure your helmet and protective pads.
- Make sure your board and remote batteries are fully charged.
- Read the safety instructions in the package carefully and follow them.
Power On/Off
Push the Board to Start: A Fantastic Ride
Rolling Start: This board is equipped with a "rolling start" feature. You can shove/push the board ahead, and once it reaches a speed over 5km/h, it will turn itself on. You will hear a beep when it activates.
Power On: The power button is a self-reset switch located at the bottom of the PIVOT, near the motor side.
Power Off: Press the power button, or leave the skateboard stationary for 5 minutes, and it will automatically turn off.
Diagram Description: A diagram shows the underside of the skateboard with the power button indicated. It also shows the Propel EV branding and contact information.
Remote Control
The remote control is used to operate the electric skateboard. It features an LCD display and several control buttons.
Remote Pairing
- Begin with the board and the remote turned off.
- Turn on the board by depressing the power button and releasing it. The power button should illuminate.
- Depress the power button again and hold for 5-7 seconds until it begins flashing. The flashing power button indicates it is ready to pair.
- Turn on the remote.
- Press both buttons on the remote simultaneously for 1 second, then release. You should see the battery meter populate.
- The board is now paired.
Remote Functions
- Scroll Wheel: Push the wheel forward to accelerate, and push the wheel backward to slow down.
- Cruise Control: During acceleration, short press the power button once to switch to cruise mode. Pull the acceleration/deceleration wheel to end the cruise state. If the skateboard and remote control disconnect while in constant speed cruising state, the skateboard will stop slowly.
- Vibration: The remote control will vibrate in the following situations:
- When the skateboard battery is less than 25%.
- When the remote control fails to connect to the skateboard.
Note: The cruise control function is an advanced feature. Please use it with caution and ensure you are familiar with it before performing special actions. Please end the cruise control function before changing gears or performing other operations.
Note: The safe wireless control distance between the remote control and the skateboard is 2 meters.

Changing Wheels
The wheel replacement process for the PIVOT 2-IN-1 is designed to be simple.
- Loosen the bolt next to the wheel.
- Take the wheel and gear out.
- Install the new wheel.
- Tighten the nut.
Note: PIVOT's default wheel size and gear ratio are pre-calculated to make wheel changing easier and simpler. The stock PU wheel and AT wheel can share the same configuration, so you do not need to adjust the motor position or any parameters within the remote.
Diagram Description: The diagram shows a comparison between a 'Street Wheel' and an 'AT Wheel', illustrating their different designs and the gear mechanism.
