To start riding, press down on the Thumb Throttle. Get accustomed to 

the acceleration of the throttle.

PLEASE NOTE: Riding, like most sports, involves risk of injury and dam-

age. By choosing to ride the Slate the responsibility and all inherent risk 

is on you. It is crucial that you know, understand and act according to 

safety rules.

Turns - The turns on the Slate are commanded by the direction you turn 

the Handlebar/ Front Wheel in. Before turning, look both ways to make 

sure your path is clear.

Braking – To come to a stop, press down on the E-Brake. Be careful not 

to Press the E-Brake too fast, as it may cause too sudden a stop or  

jerking motion. You may also use the Rear Foot Brake to come to a stop.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DRIVING RANGE

The average range of the Slate is 10 miles. However, a lot of factors will 

affect how far you can go per charge:

• Driving surface: A smooth, flat surface will increase driving distance.

• Weight: More weight means less distance.

• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Slate under    

recommended temperature, which will increase its longevity and  

driving distance.

SAFE DRIVING

Helmet: Most serious injuries that occur while riding are head injuries. 

This could be prevented by wearing a helmet.

Elbow and Knee Pads: For added protection, always wear elbow and 

knee pads when riding your Slate, to prevent any serious injuries.

Get to know the Slate before riding it. Test your control over it. Make 

your turns slowly and cautiously, and give yourself stopping distance. 

It is recommended you practice your first ride on the Slate in an open 

space with no obstacles in your way.

DRIVING TECHNIQUE

Foot Position – While riding the Slate, keep your feet firmly planted on 

the deck.
