Important Safety Information¶
DO NOT RIDE YOUR BOARD UNTIL YOU READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your board has the potential to lose power and braking at any time due to interference between your remote and the board, dropping your remote, a fully discharged remote, braking for too long when the battery is fully charged, and other factors. You should only ride your Jed Board within your means, and at speeds and on terrain where you’re comfortable without power and brakes.
Hills and high speed riding can be extremely dangerous as a crash could result in serious injuries or death. Be extra careful when riding your board, always ride within your means and with safety equipment – including but not limited to a helmet and knee/elbow pads, and appropriate footwear – even if you are an experienced rider.
Whilst measures have been taken to prevent overcharging through our braking resistor circuitry, care must be taken to ensure you always ride within your means and on hills you are comfortable without power and brakes. Extended braking downhill on a full battery charge has the potential to cause a shut-down and loss of braking power to prevent overcharging the battery.
Other vehicles have the potential to seriously injure or kill you. Always be mindful and aware of your surroundings when riding around other vehicles. It’s important to assume that other vehicles cannot see you, and you should ride accordingly always being safe. Please obey all laws regarding the use of your board on public roads, bike paths, footpaths or other places.
Do not ride your Jed Board in wet or icy conditions. Whilst the board has been designed to handle a light amount of water, it has the potential to cause damage to your board which is not covered under warranty. Riding in wet or icy conditions is extremely dangerous and has the potential for serious injury or death from a loss of traction and control. Do not submerge your board or any part in water.
Riding at night time or in areas with poor visibility increases the risk of an accident, if you need to ride in these conditions, please use appropriate lighting to ensure you are both visible to others, and that you can see the road ahead.
