Getting Started with Your Electric Skateboard: Basics and Control

An electric skateboard is an innovative solution for anyone seeking eco-friendly and convenient transportation. In this article, we’ll cover essential information on how to operate and control an electric skateboard.

Safety First!

Before diving into the controls, remember to wear protective gear—especially a helmet—for a safe riding experience.

1. Powering On and Off

To turn on your electric skateboard, press the power button located on the battery cover or control board cover. The power indicator will light up, signaling that the board is ready. Next, activate the wireless remote by pressing its power button. The remote’s LED screen will display the battery levels of both the skateboard and the remote.

To turn off the skateboard, press the power button again. Majestic electric skateboard remotes feature auto-shutdown, though you can also power them off manually.

2. Acceleration and Braking

Control the electric skateboard using the remote. To accelerate, slide the control wheel "away from you" in the direction you want to move. The further you push, the faster the skateboard will go—similar to using a gas pedal in an automatic car.

To slow down, simply release the acceleration. For a more controlled stop, slide the control wheel "towards you" to brake. The more you pull back, the stronger the braking effect.

Majestic electric skateboards offer smooth acceleration and braking, with regenerative braking that recharges the battery slightly during braking—helping extend your overall range.

3. Turning and Balance

To turn on an electric skateboard, use your body balance. Shift your weight towards one side of the deck to navigate turns.

For right-footed riders, pressing on the toes will turn you left, while pressing on the heels will turn you right. After a few rides, most users naturally begin to lean their entire body to turn, rather than relying solely on toe and heel pressure.

In Summary

Controlling an electric skateboard is intuitive and easy to learn with a bit of practice and caution, especially at higher speeds. It’s a fun and accessible form of transport for riders of all ages and experience levels.
