First Things First
Congratulations on your new
Metroboard X22!
From all of us at Metroboard, thank you!
If you have questions or concerns you
can reach us at 360-851-9586 or
(note the hyphen)
Please read this guide while you charge.
Charge!
Plug the charger into the wall and then insert the 4-pin
connector into the charge port on the rear top plate of
your Metroboard. The charger’s LED light will turn red
while charging and the charger’s internal cooling fan may
turn on.
When the light turns green, the board is fully charged.
Also be sure to charge your remote! Plug the micro-USB
cord into the remote and plug the other end into any USB
power source. Always charge your remote when you
charge your board. That way, you don’t have to remember
when the last time you charged your remote was. If you’re
wondering, the remote has enough power for 3 or 4 rides.
But don’t gamble.
When the remote power is very low it will vibrate every
few seconds. When that happens, stop and charge your
remote immediately before you lose connection. In a
pinch you can charge the remote from a pocket power
source while riding, but only do so in an emergency.
Battery Tips
Charge time from a drained battery to full is about 3
hours. Your board is shipped with the battery at ~50%
charge, so you should be ready to ride in about an hour.
60-70% is also the optimal charge level to store your
board if you don’t plan to ride for more than a week.
For care of your battery, let it rest for ~20-30 minutes af-
ter you ride before putting it back on the charger. This will
give the individual cells in the pack a chance to balance
out and help ensure a full charge and a long-lasting bat-
tery. Additionally, leaving the board on the charger for an-
other 15 minutes after the light turns green will also help
ensure all the cells are balanced and at maximum capac-
ity. There is no harm in leaving the board on the charger
for longer, but we don’t recommend leaving it plugged in
all the time.
Safety Gear
Everybody falls.
It is better to crack a helmet than your skull.
Always wear a helmet.
We strongly encourage a full-face helmet.
Gloves are also highly recommended because shredded palms
are just the worst.
Knee and elbow pads are also advised.
Armored jackets and hoodies are a good idea.
Dress for the slide, not for the ride.
Helmet.
Gloves.
Knee & elbow pads.
Slide protection.
Study and practice how to fall without injury. Practice in the
grass at your local park. Do not try to catch yourself with your
arms extended. At speeds under 18mph it is possible to tuck-
and-roll. At speeds beyond that, you should be prepared to
slide.
Always ride within your ability.
Remote Control Overview
The Metroboard X22 ships with the rock-solid frequency-
hopping Puck made by Hoyt St Electric Skateboards.
Remote Connection
To turn on the remote:
Press and hold the power button until it vibrates.
ON: Hold 1.5 seconds (short vibration)
OFF: Hold 1.5 seconds (long vibration)
AUTO-OFF: After 5 minutes of inactivity.
Paired: All the lights ash RED until the board is turned on.
Un-Paired: The lights will continue to ash red if the board has
become un-paired.
To Pair the remote:
Pairing is the process of coupling your remote with the receiv-
er built into the board. It is only necessary to do this if the re-
mote does not connect to the board when both are powered
on.
Turn off the skateboard and remote.
Simultaneously hold the Power, Mode, & Reverse button un-
til the remote LEDs ash GREEN rapidly.
Turn on the Skateboard. Pairing is complete with the remote
vibrates and stops ashing.
POWER
Using the Remote Control
Power Button:
Powering on and off requires a 1.5-second hold.
Double-press to lock the throttle. The LEDs will glow BLUE
when locked.
Mode Button:
The Hoyt St remote control features 3 speed modes. Press
this button to cycle through the modes. The remote will vibrate
once, twice, or thrice to indicate which mode you are in.
Mode 1: Learning mode for beginners
Mode 2: Intermediate mode suitable for most riders
Mode 3: Advanced full-power mode
Reverse Button:
For left-handed users, hold this button for 1.5 seconds until the
remote vibrates and beeps. Test throttle direct before riding!
Time Travel Button:
Feature not yet unlocked.
Inspection
Always inspect your board before riding. Here are some things
to check:
Axle nuts should be tight but not overly tight to keep the
wheels from free-spinning. Tighten each axle nut until it stops
and then back off ~1/6 turn to give the wheel the smallest de-
tectable bit of “slop” (or wiggle).
Check your belts and pulleys often for small rocks or other
debris as these can cause uneven and early wear. If you hear a
“tick-tick-tick” sound as you ride, check your belts for tiny peb-
bles. A small hex key works well to pluck tiny rocks wedged in
pulleys and belts.
Check for loose hardware screws. If you have screws which
keep backing out due to vibration, we recommend adding a
drop of Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242.
Always test your remote connectivity as part of your pre-ride
inspection. Use the handle on the Metroboard to lift the rear
wheels up off the ground and test the remote by throttling the
thumb-wheel gently all the way forward, and braking/reversing
by pulling all the way back.
Recommended Tools
Lid Enclosure Screws: 2.5mm hex
Axle Nuts: 11/16 socket
Kingpin Nuts: 9/16 socket
Motor Mounts: 5/16 socket

Your First Time
An empty parking lot is the perfect place to practice and ne-
tune your trucks. Bring your skate tool along on the rst few
rides to make truck adjustments while you’re still getting a feel
for the board.
Powering On
We recommend turning on the remote rst, and then powering
on the board.
1. Press the power button on the remote for 1.5 seconds
2. Press the power button on the rear top plate of the
Metroboard
The board and remote should link automatically. If the remote
does not connect immediately see the Remote Connection in
this guide.
Test the remote
Always test your remote connectivity as part of your pre-ride
inspection. Use the handle on the Metroboard to lift the rear
wheels up off the ground...
Accelerating
With the drive wheels off the ground, test the remote by throt-
tling the thumb-wheel gently forward.
Braking
Pull back on the thumb-wheel to brake. Once the board has
stopped, simply let go of the thumb-wheel.
Reverse
If you keep holding the thumb-wheel back after you come to
a stop, the board will start to go in reverse. Push the thumb-
wheel forward to brake when riding in reverse.
Lights
The left remote button toggles the lights on and off and cycles
brightness through 3 modes. The sequence is: brightest, off,
medium, off, low, off.
New Rider Tips
Your feet should be parallel to each other with your toes point-
ed slightly forward on the deck.
Prepare for acceleration by bending your front leg slightly and
bracing with your back leg.
Prepare your body for braking by bracing your front leg and
bending your back leg a little.
Now, practice accelerating, braking, and turning heel-side and
toe-side. The faster you go, the easier it is to turn.
Always keep one foot on the board when stopped. This will
keep you from accidentally bumping the thumb-wheel and
sending your board into trafc or a pedestrian. It’s a good habit
to start now.
Never stand on the board or let anyone else stand on the board
while someone else is holding the remote.
Put the lanyard around your wrist while riding.
Practice Foot Braking. This maneuver can save your life in a
pinch.
Ride within your capabilities.
