C-B® owner(s) &/or user(s) hereby all agree to release and hold harm-
less the C-B ® product’s manufactuer, importers, distributors ,dealers
, sales reps, freight forwarders, &/or afliated parties and companies,
including but not limited to the ofcers of the above mentioned compa-
nies, from any and all liability relating to any injury, damage to person(s)

EXTREME CAUTION: Go as slow as possible. WHERE FULL PROTEC-
TION: Helmut/knee pads/elbow pads/wrist guards and driving gloves.
Your are NOT riding a bicycle with big wheels. You need to "slow down"
dramatically, to provide yourself with sufcient time to react, in order to
avoid hard to detect hazardous objects on the roadway
that you are not used to watching out for, such as 1/4th"diameter
tree branches, 1/8th"diameter stones or rocks , surface ruts, uneven
pavement, pot holes, water lled pot holes, &/or any object jutting
out from an indoor or outdoor riding surface. Note- such objects in
the roadway can jam/ stop the forward motion of any scooter with
smaller type diameter wheels, C-B ® included, ejecting you off the
stand-on deck to the road surface. When driving your C-B ® , you need
to "constantly monitor" the road surface ahead of you for hazardous
roadway objects and dangerous cracked, rutted, pot holed or uneven
pavement.
WARNING: Please be aware that failure to REDUCE the C-B's ® SPEED
will drastically increase the possibility you will hit road objects that could
and will throw you off C-B's ® deck to the road surface, possibility caus-
ing serious injury to you &/or persons nearby you.

Wearing full protective gear will greatly reduce your chance of being
injured should you be involved in an accident, regardless of who caused
the accident. Watch out for reckless bicycle riders, reckless automobile
drivers, and pedestrians moving suddenly &/or unexpectedly into your
path. Outdoors, only drive your C-B ® in bike lanes with pavement
you have pre check to be smoothly paved and free of hazardous road
objects, on low speed 5 MPH and under surface streets you have pre
checked to be smoothly paved and free of hazardous road objects,
and where allowed, on sidewalks you have pre checked to be smoothly
paved and clear of hazardous objects. Indoors, drive and enjoy your
emission-free C-B ® anywhere and everywhere you are allowed to,
always rst pre checking your intended route, to avoid driving on sur-
faces that are not completely smooth and free of hazardous objects.
CAUTION: Do not drive C-B ® on grass, dirt, gravel, sand, mud, icy
or snowy surfaces , through puddles, in heavy rainy downpours, heavy
winds, or on cold weather surfaces that have not been properly salted.
Though your C-B ® in designed to be driven in all four seasons, avoid
driving C-B ® on days that have excessively hot or excessively cold out-
door temperatures.
WARNING: Do not immerse C-B ® in water . Though your C-B is
equipped with front and rear LED lights, exercise
special caution when driving at night. Hazardous objects on the road-
way at night are much harder to spot.

PACK TO 100% ON DASH/DISPLAY.Failure to do so can cause damage
to your battery pack. Try to avoid deep discharging of battery multiple
times to less than 10% charge. Over time,this may damage your bat-
tery pack or cause the need to replace your battery pack more often
than would normally be required. Always re-charge battery to 100% af-
ter riding. Every time you park, stow or allow your COMMUTE-BOARD™
to be stored without using it for extended periods of time,make sure
that you rst turn off the initial power using a 5 second press down on
the dash display button, then,also immediately turn the master power
switch off using the red ON/OFF master power switch,located under
the front deck one,moving the switch to the "OFF” position. Failure to
do so will result in your battery charge depleting on the display. Allowing
this to happen multiple times can permanently damage your battery
pack. STORING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS ON TIME : You can store
your COMMUTE-BOARD™ for extended periods of time,as long as you
recharge the battery pack to a full 100% charge at least EVERY 90
DAYS. Failure to do time may permanently damage your battery pack,
causing it to no longer hold a charge,requiring the battery pack to be
replaced. CHARGING THE BATTERY: Always plug the electrical cable
from the charger unit into the COMMUTE-BOARD’s™ charging port
FIRST; then proceed to plug the cord from the charger into any std.
110 volt wall outlet. Look for a “RED LIGHT”to appear on the char-
ger unit.That indicates your battery is recharging. Recharge time is
around 30 minutes to 4 hours,depending on the % the battery pack
is discharged. Once a full charge to 100% is achieved,a solid “GREEN
LIGHT”will appear on the charger unit Once a solid green light appears
on the charger unit,immediately discontinue charging following this
procedure; rst, unplug the cord from the wall outlet Then, unplug the
cable from the charging port on your COMMUTE-BOARD™.Wrap the

LEARNING TO RIDE C-B. FOR THE FIRST TIME AND BEYOND!
CAUTION: Find a fairly empty parking lot to practice your C-B ® driving
skills. Without using the throttle control, try using C-B rst as a manual
'kick scooter'. C-B can free wheel forward like a manual push type kick
scooter. Use manual leg kicks to scoot around a bit to that a better
'feel' for balancing aspects of your new C-B®. Once you feel condent
you are "READY" for a ride using the powered 'thumb push throttle',
slide master red off/off switch, located under front deck one, to the
"ON" position. Press the power on/off button of the dash/display down
5 seconds. The dash will light up. All power is on and you are ready
to take your rst powered ride. BEFORE pressing down on the thumb
throttle, place one foot on the deck and using your other foot and leg,
manually leg kick the scooter forward, hop on with other foot, and only
then press your thumb down on the throttle, located on right side of
the handle bars. Now the front hub power drive motor wheel is propel-
ling your forward. The press down thumb electronic brake is located on
the left side of the handlebars. IMPORTANT WARNING; When rst us-
ing the thumb press down brake, lightly "feather" the brake, bend your
knees , crouch down, and position yourself so you are leaning slightly
back on the deck. CAUTION: The electronic brake is powerful; if you
press on it too abruptly while you are still learning how to ride your C-B
®, and if you fail to bend your knees, crouch down and lean back slight-
ly while getting a "FEEL FOR" the brake, you could suddenly feel yourself
'lurch forward' toward the steering column, experiencing a feeling of
'loss of control'. Again, lightly feathering the brake, and applying light
thumb pressure to the brake while you are in the learning stage will
avoid a 'lurching forward' feeling toward the steering column.

GETTING STARTED:
Refer to the photos in this manual. Carefully open carton with a pock-
et knife, box cutter, key etc. Remove the shrink wrap. Gently remove
the folded C-B® from the carton and place it onto the top of any small
stable table covered with a tablecloth or towel. Lean the folded C-B®
onto it's right side. Locate the 'manual Instructions booklet' and the
white small box with the charger/charger cable inside. Set the char-
ger/charger cable box aside but keep the manual handy. CAUTION: Be
careful when removing the folded C-B from the white foam packing and
carton, because the "carry handle" hook/latch and catch slot may not
yet be secured. {The kickstand was set in its folded up position at the
factory}. Hint: Make sure kickstand is in the folded up position, before
removing C-B from the carton.. After the folded C-B® has been placed
on a table top, onto its right side, study the underside of lower front
deck.
1. Find the “red master power, on/off switch”, located near the rear
underside of front deck one. {The red master power switch is set in the
“off” position at the factory}.

13
Next, nd the big, black metal spring loaded movable “deck lock”,
located about 1” to the right/rear of the red master power on/off
switch. Using ONLY your rst or index nger of either hand press “UP”
on the “at section” of the black metal deck lock, closest to the red
master power on/off switch. Press up on that exact at section of the
deck lock and then quickly release nger pressure a few times, as this
is good practice for later; see the manual for: {how to lock the two
decks}; {how to unlock the two decks}. IMPORTANT: If the “black metal
spring loaded carry handle hook”, located at the bottom rear section
of the folded steering column has NOT yet been securely connected
into the “catch slot” located in the top rear section of top folded, rear
deck 2, make the hook/slot connection now, by using the rst, or index
nger of either hand to “pull out” the black metal hook and then insert
the edge of the hook securely into the catch slot. Now, you can “lift”
the folded C-B® using its hooked, secured “carry handle”, by using one
hand to grasp the folded steering column carry handle by its underside,
positioning your 4 ngers under the forward most section of the “folded
steering column carry handle”. {This is the carry handle’s best point-of-
balance}. Using the now secured, hooked carry handle, lift the folded
C-B off the table and place the folded C-B® onto the oor of your house
or garage. Immediately fold down the kickstand.
