Your guide to get moving safely on the Faraday Spine

WARNING: Driving and operating an Electric Skateboard can be very dangerous!
Take great care when riding the Faraday Spine and show high alertness in traffic.
Any use of the Faraday Spine and its components is your own responsibility.

NOTE: The Faraday Spine is built with the use of 3D Printed plastic parts, which are potentially less strong/durable than standard plastics. Thus, be very careful and make sure to check up on the condition of the parts before going for a ride. Especially those parts that are critical for movement, such as the gear and the motor bracket etc.

Always replace 3D printed parts immediately if damaged.

Longboarding involves certain inherent risks and dangers which can result in serious personal injuries. When going downhill, even on just slightly incline ground, the Spine will pick up high speeds which may be uncontrollable to an inexperienced rider. Therefore, ride the Spine slowly and only on flat ground, until you're completely familiar with riding this product and can then progressively develop your skills to ride it on hilly grounds.

  1. Always inspect your board before riding. Make sure the quick-release knobs are securely tightened (Leaving the knob lose will cause it to unscrew while riding, potentially resulting in serious harm and injury). Check all wheels and nuts before riding and be sure they are properly tightened. Immediately replace excessively worn shock, bearings, wheels, or cracked parts.
