BRAKING SYSTEM

The Power Board uses a front wheel disc/calliper system activated by a hand lever (on the left
side of the handlebar). The brake is activated by squeezing the BRAKE LEVER with your left
hand. The Power Board is equipped with a controller that temporarily disengages the power to
the motor when the BRAKE LEVER is depressed.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking system. Braking
distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven riding surfaces.

Adjusting the Brakes

The Brakes on the Power Board should come fully adjusted from the factory. However, it may
be necessary to adjust the brake from time to time.
To adjust the brakes:
1. Loosen the tension screw on the Brake Lever by rotating it
counter-clockwise until the wheel spins freely.
For further adjustment:
2. With one hand, depress the brake calliper using your
thumb and forefinger. (Fig. 9)
3. With the other hand, adjust the tension screw on the brake
line.
a. Turn the tension screw clockwise to loosen the
brake.
b. Turn the tension screw counter-clockwise to tighten the brake.

Squeaky Brakes

The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not affect the function
or performance of the brakes. With continued use, the squeak should go away.

TIRES AND WHEELS

The Bladez Power Board uses an identical rim and tires assembly on the front and rear wheels,
which means that the tires can be rotated. The wheels are actually two wheel halves (split rim)
bolted together to make it easier to remove and replace the tire.
The rear wheel is fitted with a special spacer to accommodate the sprockets, while the front
wheel has a bracket for the disc brake.
Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care
