I. SAFETY WARNINGS

A. General Disclaimer

Riding ACTON RocketSkates™ can be a dangerous activity. Certain conditions may

cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric

transportation products, ACTON RocketSkates™ are intended to move and accordingly

it is possible for the rider to lose control, fall, collide with other objects, and/or get into

dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or expertise can completely

eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die, even when using

safety equipment and using other precautions.

RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.

This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of

failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your ACTON RocketSkates™. Because any

incident can result in serious injury or even death, we repeat the warning of possible

serious injury or death.

WEAR HELMET AND PROTECTIVE GEAR AT ALL TIMES.

B. Age, Weight & Health

ACTON RocketSkates™ are designed for adults and for older teens. The recommended

rider age is 16 years of age and older. Notwithstanding this age recommendation, any

rider unable to ﬁt comfortably into ACTON RocketSkates™ should not attempt to use

it. Keep ACTON RocketSkates™ away from small children and young teens. ACTON

RocketSkates™ are only intended for use by persons who are, at a minimum, completely

comfortable and competent while operating ACTON RocketSkates™.

DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 275 LBS. Rider weight does not

necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to ﬁt or maintain control of ACTON

RocketSkates™.

C. Conditions for safe riding

where ACTON RocketSkates™ may be used. Ride defensively. Watch out for potential

obstacles that could catch your wheels, force you to swerve suddenly, or lose control.

Be careful to avoid pedestrians, inline skaters,

motor vehicles, skateboarders, other

RocketsSkates™ riders, scooters, bikes, children or animals that may enter your path.

Do not activate Normal or Pro mode on the ACTON App unless you are on

RocketSkates™ in a safe environment suitable for riding, and you are comfortable

maintaining control of RocketSkates™.

Do not touch the wheels or any moving parts on your RocketSkates™ when in use or

immediately after the discontinuation of riding, as these parts can become very hot and

may burn you.

Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your RocketSkates™. RocketSkates™ are not

made to withstand abuse from misuse such as jumping, curb grinding or any other

types of stunts. RocketSkates™ can break from the stresses incurred by these activities.

Any such misuse will void the warranty.

RocketSkates™ are designed to be ridden by only one person at a time. Do not carry

another person or animal while riding RocketSkates™. Do not use near swimming pools,

Do not ride your RocketSkates™ in wet or icy weather, and never immerse the

RocketSkates™ in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged. In

addition, water can create hazardous conditions.

RocketSkates™ are intended for use on ﬂat, dry surfaces such as pavement or level

ground without loose debris such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy,

uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents.

Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or ﬂooring by use of RocketSkates™

indoors

Do not ride RocketSkates™ at night, or when visibility is limited.

Before riding, be sure to check that all four wheels, buttons, and straps are secured

properly. Do not ride the ACTON RocketSkates™ in the rain. Always ride on dry paved

surfaces. Gravel, wet, and uneven surfaces are hazardous.

Check to see that the battery is properly installed and charged. Check the battery level

through the ACTON App. Do not place the battery near heat or ﬁre. Do not expose the

charger to water or any moisture.

Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved safety helmet (with

chin strap securely buckled), wrist guards, elbow pads, and kneepads. A helmet may be

legally required by local law or regulations in your area. A long-sleeved shirt and long

pants are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles);

never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the

wheels, motor, and drive system.

D. Battery Handling & Disposal

ACTON RocketSkates™ come with a charger, and the charger should be regularly

examined for possible damage to the cord, plug, enclosure or other parts; and in

the event of damage, please do not attempt to charge RocketSkates™ until the

charger has been repaired or replaced. While it is safe to charge one at a time, it is

recommended to always charge both together. Unplug the charger and disconnect

from RocketSkates™ when not in use and charging is complete.

Battery is best used under optimal conditions. Temperature 50-75F (10-24C), absolute

humidity 45-85%.

Charger / Battery Safety Warning: Use only the recommended charger and use caution

when charging. The charger should be operated only by an adult. Do not operate the

the RocketSkates™ are not in use. Never store the batteries in freezing or below

freezing temperatures. Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and

cleaning your RocketSkates™ with any liquid.

Recharge time: 2.5 hours

Average battery life: 600 charge/discharge cycles

When the RocketSkates™ are not in regular use, recharge the battery at least once a

month until normal use is resumed. Do not wrap it with conductive material, as damage

could result via direct contact between any conductive material and the battery. Do

not short circuit by linking connectors together. Do not demolish or disassemble the

battery by yourself. Do not store the battery in a damp place.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE WARNINGS INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY.

E. Radio Interference Precaution

ACTON RocketSkates™ incorporates a sophisticated communication algorithm to

ensure stable connection between Lead and Follower skates. But in some rare cases

connection may be lost between the two skates. As a safety precaution, skates will shut

using the buttons on the backs of each skate, in order to re-establish connection. If a

loss of connection happens more than once, stop using the skates immediately and

avoid using the RocketSkates™ again in such areas.

Try to avoid areas with high-power radio-transmitting equipment such as a radio tower.

Please contact ACTON for further assistance.

experience with the RocketSkates™. Failure to adjust the footstrap (and/or footpad)

may prohibit you from fastening the RocketSkates™ to your feet securely, and may

cause injury when using the RocketSkates™.

Adjusting the Foot Strap

Changing the Footpad (short footpad available from Online Store)

The RocketSkates™ come with a long footpad installed. This should ﬁt shoe sizes

Women US 6, UK 4 and larger. Men US 6.5, UK 39 and larger. If your shoes size is

smaller, you have the option of swapping the footpad to a shorter one.

B. Charging

Failure to recharge the battery at least once a months may result in excessively

degraded battery performance. The battery requires charging for at least 2 hours

before ﬁrst use.

C. Register & Setup

RocketSkates™ can be connected with the app through Bluetooth. Please download

the “ACTON” app to your phone. The app is currently available for Android

versions 4.3+, and iOS iPhone 5+. When the app is opened for the ﬁrst time, the

registration process will help you through some features that allow the RocketSkates™

to better suit you, and therefore enhance your riding experience. These features include

accurate information at setup. For your safety, please set to BEGINNER mode on the

app home page to start. Only set to NORMAL mode when you are a comfortable rider.

Only set to PRO mode when you are very familiar with the RocketSkates™.

1Use the attached wrench to remove

both screws on the footpad. Remove

the screws, nuts and washers.

2Slide the new footpad on and put

the washers and nuts back and tighten

both screws.

The charging port is at the top center

section of the ankle cushion. Plug into

this port ﬁrst, then plug the charger into

the wall outlet.

During charging, the red light on

the charger should be on. Once the

RocketSkates™ are fully charged, the

light on the charger will turn green.

Turn the power on by pressing the

hexagonal button at the rear end of the red

buckled skate. Brief music will be played

and the battery level LED will turn on.

Carefully stand up with toes of both

feet on the ground. Lean slightly forward

to avoid falling backward.

Riding Posture: maintaining balance

is a key element involved in the use of

RocketSkates. With practice, you will be able

to ﬁnd a comfortable position that best suits

you; however, we ﬁnd that the best posture

is one that positions one foot directly in

front of the other, such that your feet are

inline to allow for even weight distribution

between the front foot and rear foot. This

position allows you to best balance yourself

under acceleration and deceleration. The

driving skate can be used either as the front

OR rear skate, though we’ve found that

using the driving skate in the rear was most

comfortable.

3Speed is controlled by tilting the Lead

skate. Tilting forward increases speed and

tilting backward slows the skates and applies

the brake. The RockeSkates must be rolling

for the motor to engage so you must ﬁrst

push o before tilting the Lead skate forward.

This is a safety mechanism to prevent the

skates from unexpectedly accelerating while

you are standing still.

IV. Beginner Tips

•Strap into the RocketSkates™.

Always strap into the skates in a seated position.

•Maiden Voyage.

Find a buddy to hold your arm or hold a railing

or wall. LEAN FORWARD TO MAINTAIN YOUR

BALANCE. DO NOT LEAN BACK. Always keep in

mind that speed is controlled by the remote

control.

•Standing on Rocketskates™ is best achieved by

touching your toes to the ground. DO NOT LEAN

BACK.

•Balance.

Do not position your feet side by side when using

RocketSkates™. Always have one foot in front of the other

to maintain balance. Keep both feet pointed in the same

direction at all times. DO NOT LEAN BACK.

•Braking.

Remember that only the driving skate controls

the braking. DO NOT LEAN BACK.
