Correct Posture Of Electric Skateboard
First of all, you want to make sure you have the right stance on your electric skateboard. That means your feet are more or less hip-width apart from each other. You need to bend your knees to make up for concussion and corners. It’s also much easier to keep the balance.
All controls are built into the remote control for immediate access to all actions.
Find an open space to understand and practice all the features of the remote.
Get To Know Your Board And Practice!
Find traction points, acceleration points, breakpoints, and radii of gyration. Find an open space to understand and practice all the features of the remote. Learn how the board turns corners, how it works, and how it feels overall. You’ll learn all this when you’re actually riding an e-skateboard. The better you get on the board in a safe place. It’s a simple piece of advice, but it’s a very effective piece of advice. Practice practice practice! All controls are built into the remote control for immediate access to all actions.
Kick push
Kick push is important on regular electric longboard skateboard. Technically, it’s not necessary as an electric skateboarder. Thank you for the technology!
How To Do A Kick Push:
First, you need to rotate your forefoot sideways. Now your toes point in the direction you’re riding and your heels point behind your keyboard. Now you can move your entire weight to your forefoot. Before that, you need to make sure that you can keep your balance on a normal floor with one foot. This is one of the hardest parts of skateboarding (without putting an unstable rolling board under you)!
Now you can hold your hind legs and move them sideways. At this point, in addition to the electric skateboard, you should be able to push the floor with your hind legs. And this is – kick push!
Foot Brake
Footbrake is like a kick push, which is very important on regular skateboards and longboards. However, it is usually not necessary for an electric skateboarder. In my opinion, the big advantage of boarding is that you don’t have to apply the footbrake to slow down or stop. e-Skateboard Thank you!
However, the board’s regenerative braking system may not be enough to slow down. You may even forget to charge the remote control battery. The brakes will not be applied without the remote control.
Remote control has no batteries – no signal – no brakes.
The empty battery in board – no brakes.
If the board’s battery is fully charged, some board’s regenerative brakes will not work to prevent overcharging and will harm the battery.
Also, the rate at which the braking system fails without external influence is small.
Don’t expect it! (Knock on Wood) However, in such a case, I definitely want to apply the foot brake.
How To Apply The Foot Brakes:
The footbrake works like a kick push. The forefoot should be sideways so that the tip of the foot is facing the driver and the heel is facing the back of the board. You can now take your hind legs off the board. (You need to stand on one leg for a short time) Place your hind legs slowly and quietly on the road to create friction. Make sure it is very calm at the beginning of the friction building. When enough friction occurs, it slows down and eventually stops.
Emergency Brake
Emergency braking is an initiative that you never need if you wish. So basically it’s an emergency brake and you have to do it last before it crashes.
This action requires you to jump off the board. If the speed isn’t that fast, you should be able to run beside the board and decelerate on foot. Be sure to catch the board before harming others.
If you’re too fast to run beside the board, you can jump off the board with a grass patch (if possible). You can perform “Ninja Roll” and “Judo Roll” so as not to hurt yourself.
Traffic
Do not underestimate the traffic. Bicycles, cars, and trucks are extremely dangerous to us as electric skateboarders. Normal skateboarder traffic can be dangerous. However, as the board speeds up, you need to be able to properly judge and predict traffic.
