- Page 6 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.
- Page 7 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.

When connected to the board, the Signal Indicator LED will blink and the Battery Level Indicator LEDs will illuminate to display the board's battery level.
- Page 9 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.

Throttle to brake. • Always move the Thumb Throttle in small increments. • Bend your knees and keep a wide stance. • Don’t put your rear foot too far back onto the tail, as this may cause you to lose your balance.
- Page 11 Thumb Throttle away from you until the motors begin to engage. The further you roll the Thumb Throttle forward, the faster the Riptide Electric Skateboard will go. At any time you can release the Thumb Throttle to coast or roll it backwards to brake.
- Page 12 Coasting To coast, simply release the Thumb Throttle. This will cut power to the motors though you still will feel added friction from the drive train. Reverse To switch the board into Reverse, press the Reverse Button located on the side of the Remote below the row of LEDs.

As the battery capacity diminishes, fewer LEDs will remain lit. When battery level is critically low, the board will make an audible beeping and eventually cut power to the motors.
