AUTO THROTTLE LOCK (SAFETY)

The auto throttle lock is a safety feature designed to provide an additional layer of protection against accidental throttle activation. Its purpose is to prevent any unexpected acceleration that could potentially compromise the rider's safety or lead to undesirable situations.

Why should I use the Auto Throttle lock feature?
By enabling this feature, you can rest assured that your board will remain stationary, even if the throttle is inadvertently engaged.

Once the auto throttle lock is activated, it works in a straightforward manner. After a few seconds of inactivity on the hand controller, the throttle will automatically lock, securing the board in a stationary position. To indicate the activation of this safety measure, the LEDs on the battery will dim, signaling that the board is in a locked state.

While in the locked position, any attempt to accelerate the board, regardless of throttle input, will not have any effect. This lock remains in place until you choose to reactivate the throttle functionality.

How do I reactivate my controller after it's been locked?
To reactivate the throttle and restore its availability, simply reapply the Power Key Leash, which serves as the key to unlocking this safety mechanism. Upon reconnecting the leash, the LEDs on the battery will brighten up, signifying that the throttle is once again active and ready to use.

As a precautionary measure, we highly recommend keeping the auto throttle lock feature enabled at all times. By doing so, you prioritise safety and minimize the risk of unintentional throttle activation.
