READ BEFORE RIDING
Always wear a helmet. Other safety gear such as gloves, pads,
closed-toe shoes, long sleeves, and long pants are strongly
advised.
Be aware of other cars and vehicles, as they can kill. Always ride
defensively when in the presence of other vehicles. Be aware of
local laws that govern proper usage of your board on public
roads, bike paths, sidewalks, or other places you may ride.
Braking downhill on a full battery can cause a board shutdown.
Internal circuitry will allow for some braking on a downhill at full
charge, but this braking is limited. To avoid this be sure to ride
on flats or uphill to drain the battery before attempting a
downhill after a full charge.
Your board can lose power and brakes at any moment due to
radio interference, a dead remote battery, downhill overcharging
on a full battery, and other factors. Only ride your board at
speeds and on hills where you’d be comfortable without power
and brakes.
Acceleration in Pro mode is rapid and may be dangerous.
Hills and high speed can be very dangerous. Be sure to start slow
and remain extra careful in these conditions, even if you are an
experienced rider.

WARNINGS
ONLY CHARGE USING A RIDERIPTIDE CHARGER. OTHER
CHARGERS MAY POSE RISK OF FIRE.
Always wear a helmet when riding.
Never ride in water, over wet surfaces, in the rain, on slippery or
uneven surfaces, steep hills, or in traffic. Avoid cracks, train
tracks, gravel, rocks, or any obstacles that could cause loss of
traction. Avoid riding at night, areas with poor visibility, and
narrow spaces.
When you ride a Riptide Electric Skateboard you risk death or
serious injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls. You must
read and follow all warnings and instructions in this manual.
Do not ride the Riptide Electric Skateboard 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
foot braking or sliding to a stop. 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. Damage to the board due
to water exposure is not covered under warranty. Keep your
fingers, hair, and clothing away from belts, motors, wheels and all
moving parts. Do not open or tamper with electronics housings.
Electric shock is possible and this also voids the warranty.

3) Pre-Ride Checklist
•Always wear a helmet. Other protective
equipment such as gloves, pads, closed-toe
shoes, long sleeves, and long pants are
recommended.
•Ride in an open, flat area without foot or car
traffic for your first rides. Also make sure you are
in Beginner Mode (Section 11) when you are
learning.
•Read through the warnings on the first two
pages of this manual.
•Avoid environments that can cause loss of
control including loose gravel, water, hills,
cracks, train tracks, traffic, low light, or poor
visibility.
•Check and tighten all hardware.

4) Riding Stance: Regular vs. Goofy?
Riding “Regular” means you stand with your left foot
forward, towards the nose of the board. Riding “Goofy”
means you stand with your right foot forward. How do
you know which one you are? Think about a tug-of-war –
whichever foot you would put forward when competing in
a tug of war to brace yourself, that is the foot you should
put forward when riding. Test and see what works best for
you.

7) Pairing the Remote
When you turn on the Remote and Board for the first time
they should pair automatically. When paired, the Signal
Indicator on the Remote will blink green and the Battery
Level Indicator LEDs will illuminate to display the board's
battery level. Engaging the Thumb Throttle will spin the
motors. If the Remote and Board do not properly pair:
Step 1: Turn on the Board and Remote.
Step 2: Press and hold the Board Power Button for five
seconds until it begins blinking.
Step 3: As seen to the
right, press the Remote
Pairing Button using a thin
object such as a pen or
paperclip.
The Board Power Button
and Signal Indicator will
begin flashing when they
are paired.
