RollerSafe help center
The award-winning rollerskis from RollerSafe have integrated electronic brakes. With the safe and comfortable brake you can easily control speed in any situation. Go anywhere, steeper, faster, but safer.
WHAT IS ROLLERSAFE, AND HOW DOES ROLLERSKIS WITH WIRELESS BRAKES WORKS?
RollerSafe has developed the world’s first roller ski with electronic brakes. The award-winning RS Smart Brake Technology provides an easy and safe speed reduction in any track condition and user situation.
The platform technology consists of 3 key features:
- RS Remote for wireless control of the brakes, through radio frequency. The brake trigger has 80 points in 30 degrees resolution, ensuring a “seamless” brake force adjustment. The remote is mounted on the ski pole, with an easy slide-on/off function.
- Hydraulic pump controlling disc brake pads through calipers on the rear wheel; similar solution you find on most bikes. The pump is powered by a rechargeable battery (USB), ensuring 50+ hours of use fully charged.
- The brake force can be customized to the users’ preferences (weight, race profile, etc) through the RS Safety App. This enables users of different weight to use the same ski, and get equally soft brake.
RollerSafe makes no compromise on safety and design. The technology is based on dual brake system, separate for left and right ski and pole (redundancy principle). The technology has been tested extensively during 6 years, both in custom-built test rigs, and outdoor in all weather conditions. The electronics are protected with sealed covers, enabling for use in rain, salty conditions and rough terrain. All components have been thoroughly selected and tested for material tolerance.
We put much emphasis on functional design, such as unique slide-on binding features, click-on mud-guards, etc.
RollerSafe has received several design awards for our state-of-the-art products.
I HAVE RECEIVED THE ROLLERSKIS.
Charge the skis before first use. Est. 7 hours for full battery capacity. The battery is also drained in OFF-modus. CHARGE YOUR SKIS BEFORE EVERY TRIP. Battery indicator in the current version of RS Safety App is for illustration only. If in doubt about battery status, do not start using the brakes before charging.
Get familiar with the brake system; start slow and with lower brake force. Adjust force via RS Safety App, download at rollersafe.no (IOS/Android). If you experience problems adjusting the brake force with the app, contact us for support. Be aware that brakes will get softer after a couple of trips. Always check your brakes before starting a new trip and before entering downhill.

THE APP
TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure to charge your skis first. Download app for IOS (App Store) or Android (Google Play).
When skis are connected to USB-charger, open the app and search for ski. Connection is marked with constant green light in ski. Now you can adjust brake force, by using the scale (kg/bar) in the app.
We strongly recommend that your first test the brakes on flat terrain with a low brake force (e.g. 40 kg), to get familiar with braking and balancing your body during use. At first your brakes will feel sharp, after the some usage the brakes will feel smooth. During normal use, the required brake force highly depend on your race profile and weight, so we advise that you test different brake force levels during the first period. User tips: Set different brake force on each ski, enabling for a soft brake to be used in flatter terrain, and a stronger brake for steeper tracks.
- First try to uninstall your app on the phone or tablet and re-install the app.
- Try to adjust the brake force again. If no positive result, please contact us on technical mail or phone for support
Ski: With 100% battery capacity (7 hours charging), you have est. 50 hours of active use, or est. 7 days stand-by time. With 1-3 training sessions during a week, you would need to charge the skis each week. To be sure you always have sufficient battery, we recommend that you charge the skis before each trip.
Remote: The RS Remote use CR2032 batteries, with an expected life time of 1 year. Make sure the remotes are stored without the trigger activated, as activation drain the battery.

We recommend to use a cloth and mild soap to clean the skis. Do not use high preasure water, as this will damage the skis and harm the wheel bearings and create leakage in the control box.
