    I think that's pretty common mate, and nothing to worry about. A few other people have noticed it and posted threads. Shouldn't affect performance.

    You'll love the ATs mate, so much grip in addition to taking on thre rougher park terrain.

    Cool, thanks Alex! I have a feeling I'll be charging it up a few times tomorrow.

    Good idea!
     
  4. You might need to balance the wheels. Check out this thread from the Guides section

    Happy riding!

    Just had my first ride on ATs! Was awesome but a little bit wobbly, nothing major. Ordered a few strips of weights, thanks for flagging the thread.

    Uhmmm...wear a helmet lolol

    Also always look to make sure your remote is in sync with the board before changing modes and release the throttle 1st.

    Bend your knees and lower your center of gravity at high speed, that seems to help with wobble and lean back 1st before hitting th brake.

    Happy eBoarding!!

    Some thing I've noticed about the brakes they seem to go in stages as opposed to applied pressure on the trigger seems there are 3 stages and depending on how fast you are going is how much are applied. Snow is finally letting g up here as well and I was able to commute to work can't wait till I can do it every day.

    I hadn't noticed that, I'll look out for it on my next ride :) I've been getting much more confident now I've gotten speed control down a bit. I have the issue of living in central London where there are people, cars etc absolutely everywhere, but I've managed to pick good times recently found some quiet moments to really let rip and then use the brakes more. Aw dear, glad your snow conditions are letting up. I'm from Scotland and the weather was pish up there too haha.
