SAFETY:
WARNING:
AT ANY MOMENT, YOUR BOARD CAN LOSE POWER DUE
TO REASONS SUCH AS RADIO INTERFERENCE, DRAINED
BATTERIES, ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OF THE THROTTLE,
AND OTHER FACTORS.
Be careful with the throttle. To make the board responsive
and fun, we’ve increased the throttle sensitivity. This higher
sensitivity means fast or sudden inputs (quick acceleration
or breaking) can easily cause you to fall o. Start o slow
when riding in faster speed modes.
HILLS AND HIGH SPEED CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS as
high speed crashes can cause serious injury or death. Even
if you are an experienced rider, take caution at all times.
HIGH SPEED MOTOR VECHICLES CAN KILL OR MAIM YOU.
The Phantom is not designed for use on public roads. Check
your local regulations before you ride to ensure compliance
with any laws or ordinances. Always maintain awareness of
your surroundings while riding. If moving vehicles are
present, assume they cannot see you. Know your local laws
governing the use of your board.
ONLY RIDE THE PHANTOM AT SPEEDS AND ON HILLS
WHERE YOU’D BE COMFORTABLE WITHOUT POWER AND
BRAKES.

Always wear a helmet.
Always wear a helmet. Other forms of protective
gear, such as knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist
guards are highly recommended.
While the Phantom is water resistant, exposure to water
and the elements will cause your Phantom to age faster.
Exposure to heavy rains, puddles or submersion in water
can damage the electronics.
Riding your board in poor visibility conditions is highly ill
advised.
Keep loose tting clothing, hair, and ngers away from all
moving parts.
Metal parts of the board will heat up during use and can
cause serious burns if touched.
You, The User, are expected to be able to operate a
non-powered skateboard prior to riding the PHANTOM
The PHANTOM packs a lot of power. Follow these tips to
ensure a safe riding experience:
- Accelerate carefully.
- Ride with a wide stance on the board.
- Ride with a low center of gravity.
- Lean forward when accelerating.
- Lean backwards when braking.

POWER AND
CHARGING
Using the wall charger provided, plug in your PHANTOM.
The charging port (1) is located underneath the deck on the
back-right portion of the board. Remove the safety cap that
prevents water and dust from entering the port and plug in the
board.
Charging can take some time, so it is best to place your
board on charge after any ride, this will keep the battery fully
charged and ready whenever you are. The charging block has
a battery indication light, so you know when it is full.
Red - Board is charging
Green - Board Battery is full
TIP: Disconnect the wall charger from you board once it is
fully charged to help extend the batteries life.
1. Connect the supplied micro USB able to your remote and
fully charge it with any device that supports USB charging.
2. The remote battery level will be displayed in the top left
corner of the screen.
3. When the battery icon is full and stops ashing, the battery
is fully charged.
Before using the board, you must fully charge the battery.

USING THE REMOTE
HOW TO ACCELERATE
SLOWLY push the thumb throttle forward and the board
will begin to move. Like a gas pedal in a car, the further the
throttle is pushed; the more power will be supplied to the
motors and the faster you will accelerate.
TIP: Positioning your feet in a wide stance can give you
more stability. When accelerating, bending the front knee to
appropriately shift your weight forward can help counter act
the acceleration forces to keep you balanced.
HOW TO BRAKE
GENTLY pull the thumb throttle backwards to begin slowing
down. The further backwards the throttle goes, the stronger
the breaking will be.
TIP: When braking, bending the rear knee to appropriately shift
your weight backwards can help counteract the deceleration
forces to keep you balanced.
REVERSE FUNCTION
This function can only be enabled when the board is at a
COMPLETE STOP.
While the board is at a standstill, double tap the Speed Mode
Button on the remote to go in reverse. Once you have backed
up and come to a complete stop. Double tap the Speed Mode
Button on the remote to switch back to forward.

13
CHANGING SPEEDS - Level 1, 2, & 3
With the board and remote both turned on, your current
speed mode setting will be displayed in a circle in the lower
left corner of the remote:
Speed 1: Beginner
Perfect for beginners or rst-time riders. The board
accelerates slowly with minimal torque and has a slower top
speed.
Speed 2: Expert
Great for cruising on longer rides that have little incline. There
is more torque than speed setting 1 so you will accelerate
quicker and reach a higher top speed but may have diculty
going up very steep hill.
Speed 3: Ludicrous
For the Professional. This speed setting oers the most torque
and will have you accelerating to top speed quickly. Best for
o-roading and hill climbing.
To adjust the speed, simply click/press the Speed button on the
remote. Each time you press it the LCD will display which setting
you are in.
CRUISE CONTROL
Push the throttle to your desired speed and maintain constant
pressure.
While maintaining your desired speed, Press the POWER
Button to engage Cruise Control. ( Speed Level will be
Highlighted in a White Box )You can now release the throttle to
coast at the speed chosen.
To Disengage Cruise Control, press any button or Push / Pull
on the Throttle
WARNING: Cruise Control, if used IMPROPERLY, can lead to
Serious Injury or Death. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION and
AWARENESS when using this feature. ONLY Ride within your limits
and comfortability with cruise control.

14
YOUR FIRST RIDE
Find an open and at area with clean pavement for your rst ride.
Only ride the Phantom at speeds and on inclines that you
would be comfortable riding on an unpowered skateboard.
If for any reason the board loses power or responsiveness,
you’ll have to rely on traditional skating techniques to safely
come to a stop.
RIDING STYLE
The Best way to nd out whether you ride Regular (left foot
forward) or Goofy (right foot forward), is just to ride and see
what is more comfortable for you. If you are just starting out,
we recommend a goofy stance, so you have a better view of
vehicular trac (Right hand drive countries).
The PHANTOM uses powerful motors that can throw you
o balance if you are not standing properly, or ready for the
acceleration or braking. Follow these tips for a safer ride.
1. Move the throttle in slow increments until you get used to
how the PHANTOM performs.
2. Stand wide on the board to help balance your weight as it
shifts when you accelerate and brake.
3. Stay in Speed Mode 1 (beginner mode) until you are
comfortable riding the PHANTOM.

15
REGULAR GOOFY
Try both stances to see what feels best. If you’re
unsure of the stance you prefer, riding goofy allows you
to see trac better.

16
MAINTENANCE
The Phantom is a Direct Drive Electric Skatebord. Over
time, with extended use, motors, ESC, and battery may
eventually need to be replaced. For full instructions on
how to change and replace components, please visit
milesboard.com/phantomtips
ADJUSTING YOUR
RIDE
The PHANTOM is equipped with the ability to interchange
dierent wheels with a ABEC Hub Core.
- Smallest Wheel Size recommended: 97mm
- Largest Wheel Size recommended: 105mm
(Adjust the Wheel Size parameters through the pairing
process)
WARNING: With larger wheels, be mindful that it will
increase the chance of Wheel Bite. Be sure to adjust your
trucks accordingly so the wheel will not touch the deck
even in your tightest of turns.

17
Make sure the Charge Port is dry before you plug in the power
cord. Failure to follow these instructions could expose you to
electric shock, injury, burns, or cause re.
• Do not submerge the batteries or platform in water. If you
suspect the Batteries or powerbase have been submerged
or experienced water intrusion, do not attempt to remove the
batteries. Do not plug the Power Cord into the board. Failure to
follow these instructions could expose you to electric shock,
injury, burns, or cause re.
• Do not use battery if the battery casing is broken or if the
battery leaks any substance or emits smoke or unusual odors.
Avoid contact with any substance seeping from the batteries.
• As with all rechargeable batteries, do not charge near ammable
material.
• Keep the battery away from all metal objects and store the
battery in temperatures between 32-104 degrees Fahrenheit.
• To store your lithium-ion battery for an extended time-period
- for example, several weeks or months – rst charge it fully,
and recharge it at least once every 3 months. Failure to do so
may shorten the life of your battery.
• If you use, charge, or store the batteries outside the limits
specied, you may void the limited warranty, damage your
batteries, and/or experience reduced range and ineective
battery charging.
BATTERY SAFETY

18
NOTE 1: The range of your PHANTOM is aected by many
variables, including:
• Weight inversely correlates with range. Less weight results
in better range.
• Smooth, at terrain provides better range than rough and
hilly terrain.
• Operating the board in slower speed settings will increase
the range of the battery.
• The ideal temperature for battery usage is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Keeping the battery as close to this temperature as possible
improves range. Colder temperatures will signicantly reduce
range.
• Properly charged and maintained batteries provide greater
range. Old, cold, heavily used, or poorly maintained batteries
provide less range.
NOTE 2: Lithium-ion batteries are regulated as “Hazardous
Materials”. Transporting Lithium battery by air, or other methods,
might be prohibited by policies or law. Please contact the
designated agents from the carrier company for more details.
