2. Riding Instructions
3. Maintaining your Electric Skateboard
4. Important Safety informationPreface

1. 1. Inspect outer carton for damage and report any to your freight carrier or dealer.
2. 2. Open carton and inspect for internal damage, report any to your freight carrier or dealer.
3. 3. Remove your new Electric Skateboard, remote controller and charger.

Riding Instructions

Before riding your new Electric Skateboard, please be sure you fully understand how the model you have purchased operates.

IMPORTANT
The electric Skateboard’s wireless remote uses a unique 3G high frequency radio signal (Bluetooth) for short distance communication, and a one on one coding function between the remote control and the PCB switchboard minimized the possibility of signal interferences. Signal interference may occur under a strong magnetic field. Use caution and check your ride area for signal interference before use.

The Electric Skateboard Troubleshooting If you take off and refit the battery, and the power light is not on, please check the battery to see if it has adequate power and is fixed properly. If they are ok, that means the self-protection has started. There is nothing wrong with the skateboard. When the battery terminals touch the control box terminals, the capacitor on the PCB of controller will be charged by the battery immediately and a momentary short-circuit occurs, so the self-protection kicks in. Just remove the battery and refit. (You may have to repeat this several times). Try not to take off the lithium battery frequently when the skateboard is in service, because when frequently removed and then refitted, the battery is heavy on the terminals. The terminals can be burnt out easily and an electric arc could be generated at the connection section to melt the conductor terminals, which can lead to damage to the battery or controller.

Lithium battery has a double protection system: a. Current-limiting protection. When the current value reaches the set level, the protection system will kick in for the protection of the electronics and will stop all power from your board.

b. Short-circuit protection. In case a short circuit in the controller, motor or battery occurs, protection system will be started for self-protection and power will stop. c. In most cases removing the battery pack and fitting will reset your board and restart it.

Pistol Grip Remote Controller
1. The Pistol Grip Controller regulates the speed of the board. Pulling back on the lever will accelerate the board. Releasing the lever will return it to the neutral position. Pushing forward on the lever will brake.

2. After standing on board, pull the power lever. Your Electric Skateboard will start slowly and build speed as you pull the lever back.

3. To decrease speed, let the lever go. This will slowly decrease your speed. To slow quicker, push the lever forward to brake. Maximum speed and stopping distance depends on your weight and riding surface.

4. Know your limits. Start slowly and keep your speed down until you have mastered controlling your ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD.

5. Read the section titled: “Riding your Electric Skateboard before attempting to ride”.

Instruction for The Power Hand Grip Controller

1. A. Status light.
2. B. Coding hole. Use a pin like object (avoid the metal made pick stick) to push down the button inside the hold to sync the controller and the skateboard.
3. C. The on/off switch of the Trigger controller
4. D. Reverse button. By pressing this you regulate which direction the board takes. The Skateboard has to be at a complete stop in order for the reverse button to work. When you want to reverse, just flick the switch and then squeeze the trigger. When you want to forward again, press the reverse button again and then push the trigger, Each time you press the switch, the board will reverse direction.
5. E. The battery cover. Squeeze downwards first and then remove the cover to the direction shown. Match the positive and negative signs when replacing the battery inside.
6. F. Pull trigger backward for acceleration, Let it go for neutral, and push it forward for braking.
7. G. Speed limit pick. Basically, we set it at a slower speed gear. You can also limit the speed gear by shifting the pick to the faster speed gear side.
8. Control Box for 1200W
9. H. On/off switch for the skateboard
10. I. LED power light.
11. J. Coding Hold. You need to use a toothpick-like device to push the button inside the whole when you are syncing the board with a controller.

How to Sync 1200W

1. 1. Turn on the skateboard
2. 2. Use a toothpick to poke down I and you will see H blinking.
3. 3. Turn on the trigger remote controller, and then use a toothpick again to poke down B.
4. 4. Turn the trigger remote controller off and then turn it on again, then it will work.
   How to fit a new control box

Flip the board over and connect all wires, then turn on the power, First of all, you need to press the small button(control box reset button), depicted on the picture, on the controller PCB and put the drive wheel on your left side. By standing next to it after turning on the board, you should see the drive wheel turning counter-clockwise. If it is not turning in the direction, press the button again to see if the drive wheel runs counter-clockwise. Make sure the drive wheel runs counter-clockwise before your sync.

Skateboarding can be great as a hobby to pass time, as a sport to learn the principles of concentration and as an exciting profession too if you wish to become an instructor for novice. No matter at what stage you are with your skateboard, whether you are a newbie or a professional, skate shoes are a must for you.

People often overlook the importance of these shoes, however, they shouldn’t. These shoes can give a different skateboarding experience all together. Given below are some points that you must keep in mind while shopping for skate shoes.

1. Fitness – This is an important factor and therefore you must try to get shoes that fit you the best. It is said that the best time to go for shoe shopping is during the night as the feet tend to swell during daytime either due to heat or if you’ve just done a jolly good skate session. A perfect shoe is the one that gives you at least a gap of ½ inch between your big toe and the shoe’s front end. Also try to ensure sure that the heel rest comfortably at the shoe’s back.
2. Grip – Grip of the shoe is another important factor which must always be taken care of while buying skate shoes. Functionality of the best electric longboards can only be realised if you have skate shoes with an optimum grip. Try to go for shoes with a pattered sole as they promise a great grip on the board. Slipper feet is the last thing any skater wants while skating. So, make sure that the shoe you go for has a great grip.
3. Flexibility – Apart from durability, one also needs a shoe that’s lightweight and provides a great flexibility. Various brands nowadays offer shoes that not only offer great flexibility but also promise total comfort. Flexibility while skateboarding is extremely crucial. Skating while wearing rigid hard shoes will be of no good at all.
4. Durability – If a great proportion of your time is spent in skating, you must get skate shoes that are tough and highly durable. Try to go for leather sides as they can easily handle wear and tear, rubber toes and lace protectors. All of this will add generously to your shoe’s life. Some shoes even feature internal ‘lace hiders’ that keep the laces totally hidden and out of the way.
5. Style – Something as cool as skateboarding should always be complemented with skate shoes that are extremely stylish. You have to love them if you’re planning to use them every day. So, grab something which you think is cool and complements your style.

Skate shoes are an integral part of skateboarding. Ultimately, it’s the functionality that matters more than the looks and style as they will be seeing a lot of dust once you start using them. We, at SkateTek, are the best providers of wireless electric skateboards. Our myriad range of products at the affordable pricing has made us the most sought after companies for electric skateboards.

Choosing the perfect skateboard that offers style, comfort and performance is an arduous task. As, there is a wide range of wireless electric skateboards available in the market nowadays. A skateboard comprises of numerous components that includes a deck, trucks and wheels. You can get these components customized as per your needs and comfort. You need to take into account the measurements of specific parts to get started with the modification of your skateboard.

Skateboard Type

There are generally two types of skateboards: long board and short board. The long board provides a smooth riding experience and is not really appreciated to be used to perform tricks as its larger size doesn’t allow that. The long boards turn easily as compared to short boards. The short board skateboard is an ideal option for those people who like to perform tricks off vertical jumps, ramps and rails. As, short boards are lighter in weight, they offer more comfort in performing tricks and jumps.

Deck Shape

You can get the perfect feel and comfort of skateboarding when you fit yourself to the shape of the deck. The length, width, depth and the concave shape of the deck must be considered to get that perfect feel. The length of the deck must correlate with your height. In terms of length, generally short boards less than 33 inches and long boards greater than 35 inches are considered ideal. The width of the deck ranges between 7.5 to 10.5 inches. Wider decks offer more stability to the riders, but if you aim to learn the tricks, deck size must be under 8 inches. Deeper boards are expensive and allow you to perform challenging tricks that require precision. Shallower boards are dependable but are less responsive to jumping tricks.

Picking a Truck

The skateboard trucks are meant to offer stability and ease of turning. These trucks vary from 4.75 to 5.5 inches in width. Wider trucks generally enhance the weight of the skateboard, but allow stable and excellent tighter turns. The size of wider trucks range between 5.5 to 7 inches and are often used in long boards.

Wheels

The wheels of the skateboard are made from polyurethane. Generally, the wheels from 52 to 55 mm are considered to be ideal for street riding, skate bowls and vertical ramps. These wheels allow tighter control. The bigger riders choose wheels from 56 to 60 mm. Long boards have wheels greater than 60 mm and they render more speed and perform well in rougher terrains.

The hard the wheels, the more you are allowed to get your board off the ground. But, along with high jumps, the hardness of wheel have greater impact upon landing. The hardness of the wheels is measured in durometers(A). Any wheel over 90 A is considered to be hard. Short boards ranges between 90 to 100 A, where long boards are less than 90 A allowing smooth riding.

The above point will definitely help the skateboarders in choosing the right skateboard for extreme adventure. We, at Skatetek, are committed to provide incredible wireless electric skateboards delivering high performance for commuting and adventure. You can buy online skateboards at reasonable rates. Skatetek provides customized skateboards that offer excellent skateboarding experience.

An electric skateboard isn’t a new invention. These boards are fast and incredibly FUN!! They give a sensation of flying extremely low. When a person looks around and forward, it feels like they are gliding 6 inches off the road. Instead of taking cars for short trips, people prefer gliding their way to the morning newspaper stack and back.

It is quite easy to ride motorized skateboards, even if you have never been on them before. Perhaps, they are much more easier than regular skateboards as you can have your both feet on the deck. An electric skateboard can be controlled using a controller that manages the acceleration and braking. Although it can be a lot of fun, the bulky batteries make it quite burdensome and not-so-fun to use. Therefore, Skatetek has come up with Skullator – an electric skateboard that is not only stylish, but also, powerful to give you an easy ride through any terrain.

Design

Let’s begin with the looks, because you definitely would want to show it off on the road. Our most popular Skullator model is a yellow-colored street surfer. It has an airbrushed skull-printed design and a deck made out of Canadian Maple Wood. Skullator has attractive pieces of hardware including four-wheels, a brushless motor and batteries. It is powered using one of the finest aircraft grade components .

Weight

The Skullator along with its battery weighs 28 kg/61 Lbs. It can withstand a maximum load up to 150 kg (330 Lbs).

Speed

Skullator has an ability to reach a top speed of 50km/hr (31 mph) and has a motor power of whooping 1500 watt. Thanks to its all terrain super-grip air tires, you can ride this bad boy anywhere, from sandy beach pavements to grassy sidewalks. Are you into dirt skateboarding? No worries, the skullator is prepared to tackle even the muddy road terrains.

Functionality

This motorized skateboard allows you to get from point A to B without having to put much efforts. All that the rider needs to do is control the speed using a wireless remote controller and of course, maintaining a balance, too.

Brakes

The board features an ABS braking system allowing the novice skateboarders to gradually slow down as they approach a downhill or a stop sign. Skullator takes the safety and utility of a longboard to a whole new level.

Battery

The lithium battery takes about 3 to 5 hours for charging and has an input voltage of 90-250v.

Now let’s Start Riding

Being on Skullator electric skateboard is one of the best feelings of motion you will ever experience – more than riding a motorcycle or even driving a car. It provides both – body engagement of a sport and the performance of a vehicle. Skatetek caters urban commuters, professionals, beginners and anybody who is looking to have some skating-fun.

Before you start riding electric skateboards, please be smart, cautious and learn the following safety considerations:

Always Wear A Helmet

You may feel confident riding your electric skateboard but it is always recommend to wear a helmet. It only takes one time for you to injure yourself and if you are without your helmet it can end up really bad. We always suggest that even if you don’t need it – wear your helmet. Your head is an important part of your body and you do not want to hurt or injure it. Be cautious and wear your helmet!

Your Board Can Lose Power And Electric Brakes

There are various reasons that can cause your electric skateboard to lose power in its electric brakes, such as a wireless radio interference, loose connection, dead controller batteries, or dropping the controller. If any of these scenarios occur, your board will turn into a regular non-motorized skateboard. Therefore, you must learn how to stop the board effectively without power and brakes to prevent yourself from injuries.

Throttle of the Remote Controller is Sensitive

The remote controller of the board has a very delicate throttle and even a slight pull can result in a jolt of power on your board. Make sure to gradually ease into the throttle to gain a balance and prevent yourself from falling off the skateboard. Electric skateboards are very powerful, but once you learn how to use their controls effectively, you’ll start enjoying their responsiveness. Please ride with caution and prevent yourself from injuries.

Riding Uphill And Reaching High Speeds

Without focus and caution, riding the board uphill and reaching its highest speed can be very dangerous. Always plan ahead and know what to do in-case of an emergency. Pay attention to the floor underneath, and try to steer clear of cracks and potholes.

Vehicles And People Around You Can Get Hurt

There’s no need to rush as your life and other lives around you are worth more than reaching a few minutes early. If you feel that a particular area is unsafe, it is recommended to pick up your skateboard, wait and/or continue riding in a safer area. Assume that vehicles around you do not recognize you at all, they do not know you are there and stop. Let them take a turn and then continue riding. Be safe and cautious.

jams, parking hassles – getting from point A to B in a city can be physically and mentally exhausting. Skatetek believes that buying a skateboard can make trips around town easier and more fun.

We aren’t talking about an ordinary board. We bring you a wide range of motorized skateboards.

Yes! Riding endlessly without needing to put manual efforts has become possible with an electric skateboard. It could be used by tourists, commuters and anyone who is looking to have some fun.

Feel free to take it to your classroom, to an office, and onto a bus. With an electric vehicle that weighs 28 kg/61 Lbs, you’ll change the way you think about vehicles.

So what’s more amazing about an electric skateboard?

• They are really fast. Fifty kilometers per hour may not sound fast to car drivers, but that’s quite peppy for a skateboard. It helps get the chores done quickly.
• Besides being fast, they are great fun. Take a fun ride with your friends to the local park or museum without getting stuck in the maddening traffic.
• They give you a feeling like you are flying (very low). When you are riding the board around, you usually look forward – meaning that you do not see your feet. It’s similar to just gliding five inches off the pavement.
• They are not bulky. You can meet a friend somewhere and throw you board in a trunk to drive elsewhere.
• They are easily controllable. With every motorized skateboard, you receive a wireless remote that governs the acceleration and regenerative braking.
• They are very easy to ride, even if you’ve never been on a skateboard before. In fact, they are much easier than an ordinary skateboard because you have both feet placed on the deck.

The problem of continuous congestion and accretion that invades urban transportation is addressed by some of the smartest engineers at Skatetek. We provide a remedy to the situation of growing populations, auto accidents, road repairs, and other factors by introducing an exciting range of electric skateboards to meet your needs and budget.

Walking or biking may reduce traffic and parking hassles, but come with other issues as well. No one wants to wake up an hour early to walk or break into a sweat before a eight-hour work day. Buying a skateboard on our online website is as easy as riding it. You can also buy skateboards parts online.

Here are a few ways to ask the right questions and tips on what is a good electric skateboard.All skateboard companies will boast that they have the best products. Ultimately it boils down to a few simple key factors.

1. The most important and I stress the most important question of all in the history of electric skateboard issss , battery range, let’s face it, you are buying an electric skateboard to ride as far as you can, as long as you can  , you want to go and go and go and go, the battery is your gas tank ,a good branded battery and high amps determines your hours of fun. Sony and Samsung lithium batteries are currently the best in the market. Only a few companies offer these for electric skateboards. Lead acid batteries are way too heavy and have a very short range, trust me , lithium is the way to go, you will spend more money but will have more fun and longer range , after all that’s the purpose of buying and electric skateboard. P.s the battery is the most expensive component in an electric skateboard.
2. I do not understand why people pay 2000 dollars for a street only electric skateboard that only has a battery range of 6 miles. Is it the smartness of the selleradvertising, or the dumbness of the buyer for not doing homework?You want to travel 6 miles, get a conventional $80.00 skateboard.
3. Second is type of motor, the brushless motor is currently the best as you can’t turn on a dime with a 60 lbs skateboard , so you need a brushless motor to provide reverse. You also need to have motor protection against overheating, if that occurs. Once again, you are buying and electric skateboard for ease of use, to make your life easy and fun.
4. Forget the deckdesign, it’s just a piece of designed printed grip tape, hell you can design it yourself unless it is custom airbrushed , The new bamboo decks are much more durable, lighter and stronger than the maple decks, (Indonesian Bamboo is awesome) you may also want to find a brand that is constantly upgrading its technology, let’s face it, tech is moving forward, you want to be able to keep up, the old 800 watt skateboards are history, they are old, old tech, old control modules, old brushed motors, all old. Get with the tech. New tech has provided much safer electric skateboards , much faster , high torque and much lighter boards. (Check out Skatetek Raptor)
5. Wireless remote controls have improved. It has been TechEd up from 2.4 g to 3 g.
6. Let’s talk about the trucks. Old metal steel trucks are heavy and buckle easily if your board hits the side walk. New technology is the magnesium alloy trucks which are lighter and stronger; these materials are used in the manufacture of aircraft.

The History of the Electric Skateboard

It should come as no surprise that at Skatetek we’re big fans of motorized boards. We’re not the only ones though. We follow in the footsteps of some inventive boarders, who at the end of the day, just didn’t think they were going fast enough.

Have you noticed the same trend we have? It started when the Horse & Buggy, became the car. Then the bicycle became the motorcycle. So, it doesn’t really seem like a stretch that the skateboard became the electric skateboard, does it? Putting a motor on a form of transportation that didn’t start out with one, is kind of what we do. First, you make it go. Then, you make it go faster, go further, go for longer! Skateboard, meet the twenty first century, we think you’ll like it here.

In fact, the electric skateboard got its start in the 1970s when a few avid boarders weren’t having as much fun as they could getting from point A to point B. Using the engines they liberated from their parents lawn mowers, weed whackers and chainsaws, they attached the motors to their boards, and bam – created the first electric skateboard. Somehow, I doubt that this is what their parents meant when they said “go mow the lawn.” Regardless, they started a revolution. That’s what innovation is all about. You take something good, and make it even better.

By the 1990s, electric boards on the shelves – not the kind Macgyvered together with spare parts and borrowed motors – set you back upwards of $1500, that’s over $2000 in 2015 dollars! And they weren’t nearly as sleek as they are today. The logistics of these boards was still being worked out. Their heavy motors, and batteries with short life spans were throwing off the balance of the boards significantly. Remote controls were usually connected with cords, and you couldn’t really go all that fast, for all that long. They were good, but they were about to become so much better.

It wasn’t until the early 2000s that electric skateboards were getting the R&D they needed to hit the shelves in a big way. Smaller electric motors, stronger batteries, and more reliable wireless technologies were being improved. We didn’t waste any time getting this technology on our boards.

At Skatetek, we’ve done our research. We’re not the least expensive board out there, and we have no interest in being that board. We use the highest quality of the best technology we can source. On our boards you can zip around at go up to 59 km/hour using the 3G wireless remote controller. Not only that, but you can be on the road for up to 40km before you have to recharge, which takes 2-4 hours using our Sony Lifepo 4 batteries. Choose from our seven different models featuring 150 Watt to 3500 Watt powers.

Whether you’re looking for a more environmentally conscious and convenient way to get to work, or you’re looking to upgrade your current board, we have the electric skateboard for you.
