No, never use your Sapphire Boards in the rain or drive them through water accumulated on road ways.

Yes, but be aware that riding in colder temperatures can affect the performance of the board. A key point that will help in performance is to make sure the board is always being stored inside a temperature controlled environment, not left in uninsulated areas for extreme heat or cold. Keeping your board in the cold can cause damage to your tires, motors, and battery. Your board may act erratically if left in the cold for an extended period of time.
Yes, as long as you are using the battery within the operating temperature of -20c to 60c. This will ensure optimal output while changing devices.
For long term storage, make sure to charge any Gaston Gear batteries 30-50%. Store them in a dry place in a temperature controlled environment. Check monthly to ensure your battery remains between 30-50%.
You can leave all Gaston Gear products charging overnight without issue. In fact, it is healthy for the battery to be left on for an extended period of time (overnight, etc.) every couple of weeks to balance the battery’s charge. While all Gaston Gear batteries have a built in BMS they are not designed to be left plugged in indefinitely.
“Sapphire Board Classic Series” boards are controlled and can have their ride settings adjusted via the bluetooth remote included in the packaging. “Sapphire Board 01 Series” boards can be controlled either by “weight-sensing mode” or an in-app remote found on the mobile app “Ride Sapphire.” On this app exclusively, you can adjust the “01 Series” boards’ ride settings and presets.
