PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

Wheels 

Periodically inspect the wheels for excessive wear.

Frame 

Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb or object and wreck, crack or break a frame. Get in the habit of inspecting your product on a regular basis.

Hardware/Loose Parts 

Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, fasteners, etc., to ensure they are secure and assembled correctly. There should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose parts or broken components. If the product is damaged, do not ride. Reference “Safety Warnings” on pages 1 and 2 of this manual.

Safety Gear 

Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow pads, kneepads and wrist guards are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. NEVER RIDE BAREFOOTED OR IN SANDALS.

Laws and Regulations 

Always check and obey any local laws or regulations.

Insurance 

Do not assume that your existing insurance policies necessarily provide coverage for product use. Check with your insurance company for information regarding insurance.

USAGE

How to Ride

Do not activate the remote unless you are on the RipStik Electric and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. Turn power button to the “ON” position for both the RipStik Electric and the remote. Place one foot on the front deck plate and with the other foot, push (kick start) RipStik Electric while holding the lever on the remote in the “GO” position. Place other foot on rear deck plate once motor has engaged.

Note: RipStik Electric must be moving at least 3 mph (5 km/h), with lever on remote in GO position, for motor to engage.

How to Stop

The RipStik Electric, like regular RipStiks or skateboards does not have a conventional “brake”, however the RipStik Electric can coast to a stop or can use “dynamic motor braking” to slow more quickly.

1. While riding, release the remote lever and it will return to the “NEUTRAL” position. The product will slow to a stop with motor resistance.

2. To slow more rapidly to a stop, move the remote lever down to the “STOP” position and hold. This will engage dynamic motor braking and the product will slow down more quickly.

   

Note: As an additional safety feature, the RipStik Electric is designed to cut power to the motor when the lever on the remote is in the “STOP” or neutral position.
Note: Motor will re-engage, (without having to kick start), if the remote is in the “GO” position before RipStik Electric has slowed down to under 3 mph (5 km/h).

Note: Practice riding only in wide open areas clear from curbs, parking blocks and other obstacles. Impacting the wheels against any hard surface can damage the wheels. Wheels are not covered under the limited warranty.

Setup Guide

Setting up the Razor RipStik Electric Skateboard is easy. First, make sure the board is fully charged. Next, unfold the board and turn it on using the switch on the bottom of the board. To pair the remote control with the board, press the "pairing" button on the remote and the "power" button on the board. Once the remote is paired, you're ready to ride. To ride the RipStik, simply stand on the board and use the remote to accelerate. To brake, use the remote to slow down. The LED lights on the remote will indicate the battery life and the board will beep when the battery is low.
