In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of pairing a new remote with your Metroboard electric skateboard.
Why do you need to pair a new remote, you may wonder? Well, just like any other electronic device, your electric skateboard and its remote control need to establish a connection in order to communicate with each other. This pairing process allows the remote to send commands to your skateboard, controlling its speed and direction. So, if you’ve recently purchased a new remote or are experiencing issues with your current one, it’s important to know how to pair it with your Metroboard electric skateboard.
Don’t worry if you’re not tech-savvy – the pairing process is straightforward and requires no special technical skills. Just follow the steps we outline in this guide, and you’ll be up and riding in no time!
Before we proceed, it’s worth noting that different models of Metroboard electric skateboards may have slight variations in their pairing procedures. However, the basic principles remain the same. Consult your skateboard’s user manual for specific instructions if needed. Now, let’s get started by turning on your skateboard and remote control!
Why do you need to pair a new remote?
Before we dive into the step-by-step process of pairing a new remote with your Metroboard electric skateboard, let’s understand why this is necessary in the first place.
The remote control is a vital component of your electric skateboard. It serves as your command center, allowing you to control the speed, acceleration, and braking of the board. Without a properly paired remote, your skateboard won’t respond to your commands, making it impossible to enjoy the thrilling ride you desire.
There are a few reasons why you might need to pair a new remote with your Metroboard electric skateboard:
- Replacement: Perhaps your old remote control is damaged or no longer functioning properly. In that case, getting a new remote is the solution. However, the new remote needs to be paired with your skateboard to establish the necessary connection.
- Upgrade: Some riders choose to upgrade to a more advanced or feature-rich remote control. This could be because they want improved responsiveness, additional control options, or enhanced safety features. Pairing the new remote ensures that it works seamlessly with your specific skateboard model.
- Multiple Remotes: If you own multiple Metroboard electric skateboards, you may want to pair each skateboard with a dedicated remote. This way, you can effortlessly switch between boards without the hassle of re-pairing the remote each time.
Now that you understand the importance of pairing a new remote with your Metroboard electric skateboard, let’s move on to the step-by-step process that will guide you through the pairing procedure.
Step 1: Turn on the skateboard and remote
Before you can begin the pairing process, make sure both your Metroboard electric skateboard and the new remote control are powered on.
Let’s start with the skateboard:

- Flip the power switch to the “On” position. You may see some indicator lights or hear a beep, confirming that the skateboard is now powered on.
- Allow a few seconds for the skateboard to fully initialize.
Now that the skateboard is on, let’s move on to the remote control:
- Locate the power button on your new remote control. It is usually located on the top or front of the remote.
- Press and hold the power button until you see the remote’s display or indicator lights turn on. This indicates that the remote is now powered on.
- Wait a few seconds for the remote to initialize and establish a connection with your skateboard.
Once both the skateboard and the remote are powered on, you’re ready to move on to the next step in the pairing process.
Step 2: Enter the pairing mode on the remote

Entering pairing mode on the remote allows it to actively search for the skateboard and establish a connection. Once the remote is in pairing mode, it is ready to initiate the pairing process with your Metroboard electric skateboard.
Now that the remote is in pairing mode, let’s move on to the next step and put your skateboard into pairing mode as well.
Step 3: Enter the pairing mode on the skateboard

- Ensure that both the skateboard and the remote control are still powered on and connected.
- Hold the remote control securely in your hand and grip the throttle or control lever.
- Gradually press the throttle forward to accelerate the skateboard. Observe if the skateboard responds and starts moving smoothly. If the skateboard doesn’t respond or there are any issues with acceleration, check the connection and repeat the pairing process if necessary.
- Similarly, test the brake functionality by gradually pulling the control lever backward. Ensure that the skateboard slows down and comes to a stop smoothly.
- Check if any other control features, such as different speed modes or additional functions, are working according to the instructions provided with your specific remote control model.
