Safety & Compliance

Skateboarding, electric or otherwise, is a dangerous activity. Naturally, appropriate precautions should be taken to mitigate the risks involved in riding. We strongly recommend that users learn and obey local traffic laws and regulations before riding their boards. Metroboard waives all liability that comes with the use of Metroboard products. Other important safety precautions are listed below:

Always wear a helmet when riding the board. Other protective gears like wrist guards, gloves, elbow and knee pads are also strongly recommended.
Do not ride downhill on a full charge. To prevent dangerous over-charge, the board is designed to cut braking capabilities. Before going downhill on a full charge, dissipate some energy from the board first to allow for a safe ride.
Ride within your capabilities. Hills and high speed can be very dangerous. Always assume you may need to foot brake and never ride faster than you can stop safely without the remote control.
Never ride the board while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

Safety - Must Read

Electric skateboards are powerful vehicles and require skill and knowledge to ride safely. Please read before your first ride.

Personal safety

Always wear a helmet to avoid serious head injuries. Gloves and pads are highly recommended.
Ride only as fast as you can stop safely. No machine is guaranteed against malfunction.
Never ride mentally fatigued.
Learn to fall safely.
Learn to foot brake.
Always maintain your board, this is the owner’s responsibility. Always check all screws/nuts throughout the skateboard are tight regularly. Always clean your bearings for best roll and quietest/smoothest ride (including the bearing in the drive gear). Bearings get dirty and effect ride quality and may reduce battery performance and cause possible bearing failure.
Whenever you ride a Metroboard board, you risk serious injury or even death from loss of control, collisions and falls. To ride safely, you must read ALL instructions and safety messages and warnings in the manual.
Always respect pedestrians.

Battery and components

Never ride downhill on a full charge. Regenerative brakes are designed to shut off at full charge to prevent battery damage.
Always charge the batteries under supervision and away from flammable objects. Although safe, precaution is advised.
Never use generic or other brands' chargers.
Always gently push down the battery packs into the connectors. Never force fit.
Never leave batteries depleted for an extended period of time. Once lithium-ion cells drop below 28V, recharge may not be possible. For long term storage, charge to 3 bars on the battery meter.
Never touch the electronics to prevent personal injury and short circuits.
Periodically check your bearings. Listen for irregular or grinding noises.
Periodically ensure all screws and hardware are tight. Never over-tighten.
Contact Metroboard St before modifying or DIY'ing on your own. We're here to help.

Remote control

Prevent dangerous, unintended acceleration - turn the board OFF whenever the remote control is off. Alternatively, keep BOTH board and remote control on and lock the remote control by double-clicking its power button. These are the surest ways to guard against interference and signal hijacking. Although the receiver's EMI shield provides protection from such attacks, turning off the board will guarantee it.
Always ensure your remote control is charged before every ride. It will vibrate when it drops to 10% charge.

Your environment

Avoid water - Riding in wet conditions is very dangerous and may cause injury. The board is not water proof. The electronic and mechanical components are subject to damage due to water. Please note damage as a result of moisture exposure is not considered a manufacturer defect and not covered by warranty. Grit, sand, and deposits may work their way into the motors, pulleys, belts, and wheel bearings.
Abuse - Do not jump on the board, ride off gutters or curbs, smash the board into hard objects, or drop the board on the ground for starting operation. Although the product has been made to handle rigorous riding, it’s still an electrical product and needs to be handled with care and respect. The warranty does not cover significant impacts or damage resulting from any of the above.
Always assume you are invisible to vehicles and pedestrians. Ride defensively.
Never ride at night without lights. Be seen.
Never leave your board in a hot vehicle. The heat may have adverse effects on the bamboo, electronics, and batteries.
Always follow local laws and ride respectfully. Electric skateboards are gaining widespread attention from local governments. Work together in getting the law on our side.
