Page 4 Introducing the M1, the next generation of electric skateboards. With powerful dual in-wheel motors and the ability to change batteries on the ﬂy, the M1 turns every distance you travel into a thrill ride. We are a team of passionate designers, engineers and athletes that are inspired by you, the rider.
Page 5: Introduction
The Inboard M1 is the ﬁrst skateboard with motors in the wheels. From its streamlined look to its feel under foot, every detail of the M1 is based on rider ﬁrst design. The M1 is an electric skateboard designed from the ground up for riders of all skill levels.
Page 6 • DO NOT ride your M1 in environments, or at inclines and speeds where you would not safely be 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 stop.

But the M1 is NOT waterproof. That means you can’t take a bath with your M1, or take it swimming in a lake or a pool. Think of your M1 like a cat, cat’s are water resistant, they’ll drink water, maybe tolerate some light splashing...but don’t try and give a cat a bath, you’ll have a bad time.
