Component Care: Direct and Belt Drive

A well-maintained drive is the heart of your Electric Skateboard. For models with a Belt Drive, it is important to regularly check the tension of the belts. Belts that are too loose or too tight can affect the range and lead to increased wear.

Battery Maintenance for Optimal Performance

A 14S battery offers your Electric Skateboard Switzerland considerable range, but proper battery care is necessary for the long-term preservation of this performance.
