DO NOT RIDE BEFORE READING

ALWAYS wear a helmet and relevant safety equipment
when riding the board.

ALWAYS ride your board at speeds at which you are
comfortable without power or brakes. Due to a low
battery on your board or remote your board can lose
brakes and power during your ride.

ALWAYS obey and check the local road rules in your
area for where you can ride. Do not ride on busy roads
with line markings.

ALWAYS respect pedestrians!!!

/12

PRO and GTR modes are very powerful and the remote
acceleration and brakes are highly sensitive. Be sure
to be very gentle with these controls to avoid being
thrown off the board.

Start by trying to move as slowly as possible within
these speed modes while using both the brake and
accelerator.

DO NOT RIDE the board if you are under the inuence
of drugs or alcohol.

DO NOT RIDE the board in wet conditions. The board
may slide from under your feet causing injury.

WARNING MESSAGES

INJURIES

Whenever you ride an Evolve board, you risk serious
injury or even death from loss of control, collisions or
falls. To ride safely, you must read ALL instructions,
safety messages and warnings in this manual.

AVOID WATER

The board is not waterproof. The electronics, bearings
and other components may be damaged due to water.
Riding in wet conditions is very dangerous and may
cause injury.

WATER DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

ABUSE

Do not jump on the board, do not ride off gutters or
curbs, do not smash the board into hard objects, do
not drop the board on the ground for starting operation.
Although the product has been made to handle rigorous
riding, it is still an electrical product and needs to be
handled with care and respect.

ABUSE TO THE BOARD AS LISTED ABOVE IS NOT
COVERED BY WARRANTY.

/14

RIDING ON HILLS

Riding on hills can be extremely dangerous; what goes
up must come down! So if you ride up an insanely
steep hill and you intend to ride down this same hill,
you must know how to control your speed without the
use of the electric brakes. This is because there could
be a malfunction with the brakes.

Although the GTR boards can climb hills of up to
25-degree gradient, riding continuously on an insanely
steep hill will put massive stress on the electronics.

We have installed current protections within our
electronics, however if you feel the board slowing down
on a steep hill this is because the protection is kicking
in and giving you warning it’s working too hard. At
this time, you must consider stopping to avoid risking
damage to the electronics.

DAMAGE TO ELECTRONICS THROUGH STRAIN ON
MOTORS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
