INSIDE THE BOX
When you receive your Maverix USA Electric Skateboard you will
find the following inside each box:
1 Fully Assembled Skateboard with Battery Attached (wattage
according to model purchased)
1 Wireless Remote Control w/ 9 Volt Battery
1 Tool Kit

1 Charger
THE WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL
Regulating Your Speed:
1. The wireless remote control regulates the speed of your MAVERIX skateboard.
This speed control is accessed in the bottom of the handle, under the 9 volt battery.
To choose your speed slide the bottom open, remove the battery and choose your
speed level. Return the battery, replace the cover and you are set.
We recommend you always begin at Position 3 –Low Speed to acclimate yourself to
riding your Maverix USA board. Once you feel you are comfortable in riding at low
speed you can increase your speed levels.
2. Pulling the trigger toward you will accelerate the board. Releasing the lever
will return it to the near-neutral position, and allow you to coast downhill. Pushing the
trigger away from you will engage braking.
Your Wireless Remote Control has a range of approximately 5 feet beyond which the
skateboard will automatically free wheel.
Three speed positions are available under the 9
Volt battery as follows:
oPosition 1 : maximum speed
oPosition 2 : medium speed
oPosition 3 : low speed

ON/OFF
The on/off switch is located on the top of the wireless remote. Your remote is
equipped with LED lights.
Turn on your remote by using the black switch to the « I », position. The remote
control will beep once; it means it is powered on. To turn off, move the switch to the
« O » position, the remote control is turned off.
To use with lights move the switch to the « II » position. You will be simultaneously
using the remote control lights (LEDs located in front of your remote control) and be
turning on your remote control device.
IMPORTANT: If the Wireless Remote Control beeps 8 times in a row, it means the
batteries are running down and should be replaced. Do not ride the board with low
batteries. Doing so puts you at the risk of running out of power for the remote while
out on a ride. If your remote loses power you will be unable to power your board.
Accelerating & Braking
To accelerate, step on your board and slowly pull the trigger towards you. Your
Maverix USA skateboard will begin to accelerate with the pressure you apply on the
trigger. Once the trigger is fully engaged back towards you, you will be at the
highest traveling speed at the level you previously chose in the handle, 1, 2 or 3.
To return your Maverix USA skateboard to the neutral or freewheel position simply
begin to release on the trigger back to the central neutral position. On a level
surface, this may bring your board to a complete stop. If it does not, you can apply
the brake.
To decelerate, you can slowly release the trigger as stated above.
To STOP the skateboard your Maverix USA board comes equipped with ABS brakes.
Push the trigger AWAY from you. This will engage the brakes and bring you to a stop.

CAUTION
Know your limits and accelerate and brake
Accordingly. Get started slowly and keep a reasonable speed until you are
in full control of your Maverix USA skateboard.
The Wireless Remote Control Batteries
The Wireless Remote Control requires a 9 Volt Alkaline battery. Put the « Power »
button of the remote control on « O » when not in use in order to maximize the
battery life.
If the remote does not react with your skateboard, please replace the battery.
IMPORTANT :
The supplied wireless remote control uses a unique radio frequency that minimizes
the risk of interference. However, interference may possibly occur with other
MAVERIX skateboards. When riding with other Maverix USA riders we recommend
powering on one at a time to avoid interference. It is also possible to experience
interference when riding too close to high voltage power lines, or with mobile phones
or any equipment that emits radio waves.
Carefully check areas where you use your MAVERIX skateboard.

12
The Charger
Charging cycle
Before the first use, make sure your MAVERIX electric skateboard has a full charge. A
full charging cycle can take 5 to 8 hours (charging time depends on the model).
Your battery will reach its maximum life after 3 or 4 charging cycles.
In order to charge your MAVERIX skateboard, the charger (provided) plugs into an
ordinary outlet (220 volts), and into the battery block below the deck.
The batteries are fully charge when the light on the charger turns from red to green.
Caution: When the light turns green, disconnect the charger from the battery and
the wall outlet. If the battery remains in charge too long, you may damage the
charger and battery.
Never dismantle your charger even in case of failure; a residual electric current
always remains in a charger. In case of failure, please contact
[e-mail]
To prevent moisture or any other element from damaging your skateboards, its
battery and engine, it is strongly recommended to always close the cover of the
charger plug, located on the battery block of your MAVERIX skateboard.
To avoid deterioration of the connections, unplug the charger by the ends
without pulling on the wire.
Powering on your MAVERIX Electric Skateboard
Your MAVERIX skateboard is equipped with a power button "ON / OFF" on the
side of the battery pack of your board.

13
To turn on your skateboard, press the power button "ON".
When you are done with your ride Remember to reposition the button to "OFF"
Leaving your MAVERIX electric skateboard permanently on the "ON" position
when not in use, can damage the electronics and batteries of your board.
USE OF THE MAVERIX SAFETY LEASH
All models with the exception of the California come with a safety leash. We
provide this leash for your use, so use it!
Place the magnetic part of the safety leash on the electric panel box (see photo
below) and the other end to your sneaker, bottom or your pant leg etc. The
MAVERIX skateboard will not start if you do not connect the safety leash to the
magnetic area designated on the panel electric panel box.
In case of fall, the MAVERIX skateboard will stop instantly, thus avoiding any risk of
collisions with the surrounding area.
To start again, simply remember to place your safety leash on the designated
area on the electric panel box.

14
LIGHTS
Your Maverix USA boards (excluding the California 150W) come with a front and rear
light. To turn on this light flip the switch located on the back of the battery pack
located underneath your board. When your are done riding remember to let your
board cool down and then switch off the light
WARNING
If you should choose to ride at night you must turn on the
lights on your board and your remote. You must also wear
reflective clothing so that you can be seen by others.
Maverix USA stresses that all precautions must be taken for
riding at night. Failure to use the lights on your board and
remote along with wearing reflective clothing can result in
a collision with other riders, pedestrians and vehicles. This
can result in serious injury or death.
RIDING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using your MAVERIX USA Skateboard for the first time, and to ensure your
safety, it is imperative to read this entire User Manual and have a thorough
understanding of all information contained herein. It is the first step in enjoying your
ride regardless of whether you are a first time rider or have been riding skateboards
for years.
Caution:
RISKS OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Driving a MAVERIX skateboard may involve risks of serious injury or death due to loss
of control, a collision or a fall.
To reduce these risks, it is imperative to read and follow all instructions and warnings
mentioned in the MAVERIX USA skateboard User Manual before operating your
MAVERIX skateboard for the first time.
BEFORE STEPPING ON THE BOARD
Make sure you have fully understood the working of your MAVERIX USA electric
skateboard detailed in this manual.

15
Helmet and protective gear must be worn at all times when on the board, even
when riding for short distances or durations. Helmets and protective gear may not
look cool but they are for your protection.
Make sure you ride on surfaces that are smooth, free of any noticeable debris,
relatively uncrowded and offer good visibility.
CAUTION :
You are about to use a powerful piece of equipment. THIS IS NOT A TOY.
If you have any doubts about your abilities in the use of your MAVERIX
electric skateboard, do not use it now.
Even if you feel immediately able to use this product, give yourself time to
practice so you can ride correctly and safely.
Always remember that your MAVERIX electric skateboard is silent which
means that other people do not hear you coming.
Use enough braking distance to avoid possible collisions with people or
obstacles.
AND YOU ARE OFF…….
1. First, check that you are on the low speed mode. (This is done with the switch
located underneath the tab on the bottom of your hand held remote. 3 is
the lowest speed
2. Press the power button on your MAVERIX USA electric skateboard so the
skateboard is ON
3. Get on the board, connect your safety leash and make sure to have a
comfortable and adequate position before starting.
(The chest straight, the knees slightly bent, the body weight slightly forward ...)
4. Without putting your finger on the trigger, turn on your remote control, setting
the knob to "I" or "II" if you want to use the remote control with lighting.
5. Lightly squeeze the trigger in order to make your MAVERIX skateboard gain
speed.

16
6. Slightly push the trigger forward in order to brake.
7. Repeat number 5 & 6 once more just to make sure.
8. Squeeze the trigger toward you to go….!!!!
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Know your limits and accelerate and brake accordingly. Get
started slowly and keep a reasonable speed until you are in full control of your
MAVERIX USA skateboard.
UPHILL AND DOWNHILL RUNS
On an uphill run, you will find that you need to keep your weight over the rear
wheels to keep them from slipping.
If the hill is too steep (in excess of 10 degrees) the board will bog down and
continued use may overheat the engine. Stop, step off and walk the steep hills.
This board will take lighter weight riders up hills faster and will slow down under the
weight of heavier riders.
On downhill runs, the engine remains engaged at all times. Do not hesitate to
slow down slightly in order to avoid taking too much speed.
A smooth and regular use of the engine braking is preferable to a sudden use at
high speed. Know your limits and ride within them.
SPEED
Never ride down hills that are too steep to maintain safe control of your MAVERIX
skateboard. Never ride down hills that require constant braking as this can
damage the board’s electronics.
BENDS AND CURVES
Steer your MAVERIX board as you would a regular skateboard.
Gently press your heels or toes on the side of the board to turn slightly.
The more pressure you will be applying with your heels or toes, the more you are
going to turn.

17
Do not try to make big turns at high speed.
WEAR AND TEAR
Under normal use, your MAVERIX USA electric skateboard requires no
adjustments.
However it is recommended to check the wear and tear of every element of your
skateboard before each use (see next section).
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR MAVERIX USA ELECTRIC
SKATEBOARD
CAUTION
Failure to follow maintenance instructions and guidelines mentioned in this
section will void your warranty.
Before Intervening:
- Make sure your MAVERIX skateboard is unplugged from the
220 volt outlet and its charger.
- Disconnect the battery.
Maintenance
Under normal use, your MAVERIX electric skateboard requires very little
maintenance. However, before each use, check the following :
Tightening the front and rear trucks
The tire pressure (for the 800W model)
The charge of battery cells (remote control and skateboard)

18
Your MAVERIX electric skateboard is not waterproof and must not be ridden in the
rain, mud, or other wet areas to prevent electrical damage. Always keep your board
clean and free of moisture.
V.2 Replacement and maintenance of the timing belt
The timing belt on your skateboard is tested before each shipment to ensure the
quality of our products. This component does experience normal wear and tear with
use and at some point in time may need to be replaced.
Maintenance Tips :
If a foreign element enters the belt cover (sand, gravel …) stop the engine
and clean the housing as soon as possible by removing the cover in front of
the wheel.
V.3 Replacement and maintenance of the wheels
Like all skateboards, wheels and bearings wear out over time.
On electric skateboards, it is normal that the drive wheel wears out faster than the
other ones.
You can find all the replacement equipment necessary by contacting
[e-mail]
Maintenance Tips :
On the 800W Border Cross model, you can simply swap the tires by removing
the rim of the wheels you want to change.
• The tire pressure must be equal to approximately "1 bar" to ensure the perfect
stability of the electric skateboard and preserve the inner tubes.
V.4 Maintenance of the batteries

19
The rechargeable batteries provided with your MAVERIX skateboard should last 1-2
years if kept properly charged, used and stored, but will slowly decrease in capacity
and eventually fail to hold a charge beyond this limit.
To maintain maximal life, always keep your batteries charged when storing for
extended periods of time. Charge your MAVERIX skateboard at least once a month
to maintain battery life.
These batteries are easily replaceable; you may order replacement batteries
contacting your dealer.
Tips :
Charge your board at least once a month.
Always keep your MAVERIX electric skate horizontal.
Store batteries in a dry place away from sunlight.
