Many external factors can affect the range of your board. Click for more.

<p id="isPasted">Many factors can affect range such as rider weight, riding style, riding terrain, elevation gain, wheel and gear setup, belt tensions, tyre pressures, bearing condition, battery age and even ambient temperature.&#xA0;</p><p id="isPasted">ECO mode has been designed specifically to get the best range by only allowing gentle trigger control and not exceeding speed. Other factors include:</p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="maintaining-the-speed">Maintaining the Speed</h4><p>There is a sweet spot on the board for the best efficiency. To achieve the maximum range out of your battery it&apos;s best to ride in full speed mode on the remote and only accelerate to 30-50% and hold this speed. This will still allow the board to travel fast (25kph / 15mph) without putting a large current through the electrical setup. To slow down you can then just go to neutral mode on the remote, carve to control speed, and only use the brake function if really needed. Maintaining speed is the best way to achieve the biggest range during your session.&#xA0;</p><p>If you use the trigger in a heavy motion such as pulling all the way in just to get up to a medium speed and constantly using the brake function, this will reduce battery life. Also if you use a &apos;slower speed mode&apos; and pull the trigger all the way in, this uses the same amount of current as the &apos;full speed mode&apos; and will drain the battery faster (refer to your manual on how to switch between modes).</p><p>&#xA0;</p><h4 id="board--battery-maintenance">Board &amp; Battery Maintenance</h4><p>Board and battery maintenance are crucial to good battery life. In particular, check that the bearings are clean and rolling freely; if your wheels are getting worn, rotate or replace them; and ensure proper charging and board maintenance.</p><p>If you are riding with all terrain wheels, make sure that your tyre pressures are between 40 - 45 PSI for an efficient, fast roll. If they&apos;re flat, it will drain the battery quicker and reduce the range - think of how hard it is to ride a bike with flat tyres! &#x1F6B2;&#x1F4A8;</p><p>Also see our articles on maintaining your <a href="https://evolveskateboards.gorgias.help/en-US/how-do-i-maintain-my-board-42879">board</a> and <a href="https://evolveskateboards.gorgias.help/en-US/how-do-i-maintain-my-battery-42878">battery</a>.</p><p>&#xA0;&#xA0;</p><p>If you believe your range is uncharacteristically low and have considered the above, please view our <a href="https://evolveskateboards.gorgias.help/en-US/start-here-42893">troubleshooting guide</a>.</p><p>&#xA0;</p><p>Check our team testing the range on the Hadean series.</p><p><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-rv fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="100%" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dsSs3c4rQrk?&amp;ab_channel=EvolveSkateboards&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br></p>

How do I get the best range and performance out of my battery?

The charger has an automatic cut-off when the board is fully charged, however, we recommend unplugging it as soon as it's charged as a precaution.

Charging your board overnight

If you need to store your board for long periods, the battery should sit between a 40 and 50% charge and stored in a cool dry environment.

Storing your Evolve Skateboard

Your battery should always be stored at room temperature. Excessive heat can permanently affect or damage the battery. Click for more.

<p id="isPasted">Your battery and therefore your board should always be stored at room temperature. Excessive heat can permanently affect or damage the battery. The board does have heat protection software in place should this occur whilst riding to prevent the battery from overheating.</p><p>If left in a hot car, hot environment or exposed to other factors that may cause excessive heat, the heat protection software can&#x2019;t reduce temperatures, and your battery may be affected permanently.</p><p>Cold temperatures will affect battery life and power output. If you are riding in low temperatures you may experience lower range, top speed and acceleration. Exposing the battery to excessively low temperatures may have a permanent effect or cause damage.</p><p>The battery cannot charge past 42 volts as the charger has voltage cutoff detection installed, however, we recommend removing it from charge once the charger shows green and also only using Evolve chargers with your board.</p><p>If you will not be using your battery for a prolonged period of a MONTH OR MORE, it is recommended to STORE IT BETWEEN 40 AND 50%. Leaving it fully charged and unused can result in permanent loss of total capacity. If the battery is stored near depleted for a prolonged period of time, it may drop to an unrecoverable voltage.</p>

How do I maintain my battery?

If you regularly clean and maintain your electric longboard, it will last a long time and ride at its best. Click for more.

<p id="isPasted">If you regularly clean and maintain your electric longboard, it will last a long time and ride at its best:</p><p>Always clean your bearings for the best roll and quietest/ smoothest ride. Bearings get dirty and affect ride quality which may reduce battery performance and cause possible bearing failure.</p><p>Always check all screws/nuts throughout the skateboard are tight (truck nuts, wheel nuts etc). You are responsible for this and they may loosen over time.</p><p>Occasionally rotate the wheels on the skateboard diagonally, so front right to back left etc. as the drive wheels will wear the fastest.</p><p>Regularly clean &amp; check the belt and drive gear for any damage. Replace if necessary.</p><p>For all terrain boards, keep your tyre pressure at 40 - 45 PSI for the best range.</p><p>Always store your board at room temperature.</p><p>Clean your board from dust and dirt so it looks and rides as new, a clean board will last longer. Use a damp &amp; dry cloth to clean.</p><p>Make sure motors are clean and free of excess play or strange noises. If they get really hot whilst riding, give them some time to cool down.<br><br><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-rv fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="100%" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Td9mhtl56Ig?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></p>
