Operating Principals

The device uses digital electronic gyroscopes and acceleration sensors to control balance and motion, depending on the user's center of gravity. The device also uses a control system to drive the motors that are located within the wheels. The device has a built-in inertia dynamic stabilization system that can help assist with balance when moving forward and backwards, but not while turning.

TIP: To increase your stability, you must shift your weight in order to overcome the centrifugal force during turns, especially when entering a turn at higher speeds.

WARNING: Any Ranger that does not work properly can cause you to lose control and fall. Inspect the entire device thoroughly before every ride, and do not ride it until any problems have been corrected.

  6. The Ranger will say "Paired" when successfully paired.
  7. Please note, pairing mode on the Ranger will last for two minutes. If no devices are paired after two minutes, the Ranger speaker will automatically return to standby mode.
  8. If pairing is unsuccessful, turn off the Ranger first and re-pair following the aforementioned steps.
  9. If your smart phone is out of range, or the battery is low on your Ranger, your speaker may disconnect from your smart device, and the Ranger will say "Disconnected.” To reconnect, follow the aforementioned steps, or recharge your scooter.

NOTE: Once you have paired the Ranger speaker with a device, the speaker will remember this device and will pair automatically when the device's Bluetooth® is activated and in range. You do not need to re-pair any previously connected devices.

Your scooter can pair up to two multi-point devices. You can reconnect a previously paired device without going through the pairing or PIN process on up to two devices.

Listening to Music

Once the Ranger Bluetooth speaker is paired to your device, you can stream music wirelessly through it. Only one speaker will play music as the other speaker is strictly for safety alerts from your Hover-1. Select the track you wish to listen to on your device to listen via the speaker. All volume and track controls will be made using your music device. Should you encounter any problems while streaming, please refer to your device's user manual.

Before Riding

It is important that you fully understand all elements of your Ranger. If these elements are not used correctly, you will not have full control of your Ranger. Before you ride, learn the functions of the various mechanisms on your scooter.

Practice using these elements of your Ranger at slower speeds in a flat, open area before taking the device out in public areas.

Pre-Ride Checklist

Ensure that your Ranger is in proper working order each and every time you ride. If a part of the scooter does not function correctly, please contact our Customer Support Center.

WARNING: Any Ranger that does not work properly can cause you to lose control and fall. Do not ride a Ranger with a part that is damaged; replace the damaged part before riding.

Safety Precautions

Different localities and countries have different laws governing riding on public roads, and you should check with local officials to ensure you are complying with these laws. Hover-1 is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not follow local laws and regulations.

Your Ranger is not equipped with reflectors. It is not recommended that you ride in conditions of low visibility.

WARNING: When you ride in low-visibility conditions such as fog, dusk, or night, you might be difficult to see, which could lead to a collision. In addition to keeping your headlight on, wear bright, reflective clothing when riding in poor lighting conditions.

Think about safety when you ride. You can prevent many accidents if you think about safety. Below is a helpful checklist for Compact riders.

Safety Checklist

WARNING: When a hoverboard and a kart (sold separately) are being used, it is NOT ADVISABLE to ride the combo uphill. If using on a steep incline above 5-10°, a safety mechanism built into the hoverboard will activate, which will shut down your hoverboard automatically. If this happens, dismount your hoverboard, place it on a flat surface, wait 2 minutes, and then power your hoverboard on again.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, adult supervision is required. Never use in roadways, near motor vehicles, on or near steep inclines or steps, swimming pools or other bodies of water; always wear shoes, and never allow more than one rider.

Riding Your Ranger

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR Ranger, VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

Before using your Ranger, be sure to familiarize yourself with the operating procedures.

Operating Your Device

Make sure the Ranger is fully charged before your initial use. For charging instructions, please follow details under CHARGING YOUR Ranger.

Stand directly behind your device and place one foot on the corresponding foot mat (as described in the diagram below). Keep your weight on the foot which is still on the ground, otherwise the device may begin to move or vibrate, making it difficult to step on evenly with your other foot. When you are ready, shift your weight to the foot already placed on the device and step on with your second foot quickly and evenly (as described in the diagram below).

Diagram description: Two diagrams showing the process of stepping onto the hoverboard.

NOTES: Stay relaxed and step on quickly, confidently and evenly. Imagine climbing stairs, one foot, then the other. Look up once your feet are even. The Ranger may vibrate or spin in one direction, if weight and pressure are applied to only one foot mat. THIS IS NORMAL.

Find your center of gravity. If your weight is distributed correctly on the foot mats and your center of gravity is level, you should be able to stand on your device just as if you were standing on the ground. On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable standing on your device and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will help you feel more secure.

The Ranger is an incredibly intuitive device; it senses even the slightest bit of motion, so having any anxiety or reservation about stepping on may cause you to panic and trigger unwanted movement.

When you first begin using your device, the fastest way to move in your desired direction is to focus in that direction. You will notice that just thinking about which way you would like to go will shift your center of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that direction.

Your center of gravity determines which direction you move, accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop. As described in the diagram below, tilt your center of gravity in the direction you wish to move.

To turn, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay relaxed.

WARNING: Do not turn sharply or at high speeds to avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.

As you get comfortable on the device, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.

Bend your knees if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then dismount and carry your Ranger to a safe operating surface.

Diagram description: Three figures showing movement: "Move Backward", "Stop", "Move Forward" via tilting.

Dismounting and Limitations

NOTES: Try staying relaxed and focus on finding your center of gravity to maintain full control of your Ranger.

Dismounting your device can be one of the easiest steps, yet when done incorrectly, may cause you to fall. To properly dismount, from a stopped position, lift one leg up and set your foot back down on the ground (STEPPING BACK). Then step off completely as described in the following diagram.

Diagram description: Two diagrams showing the dismounting process.

WARNING: Make sure to lift your leg completely off the foot mat to clear the device when stepping back to dismount. Failure to do so may send the Ranger into a tailspin.

Weight and Speed Limitations

Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed here in the manual.

WARNING: Overweight exertion on the device may increase possibility of injury or product damage.

NOTES: To prevent injury, when max speed is reached, the Ranger will beep to alert the user and tilt the rider slowly back.

Operating Range and Calibration

Operating Range

The Ranger can travel a distance up to 6 miles on a fully charged battery in ideal conditions. The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your device.

Balance & Calibration

If your Ranger is unbalanced, vibrating, or not turning properly, you can follow the below steps to calibrate it.

  1. First, place the Ranger on a flat, horizontal surface such as the floor or a table. The foot mats should be even with each other and not tilted forward or backward. Make sure the charger is not plugged in and the board is turned off.
  2. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for a total of 15 seconds. The scooter will turn on, lighting the battery indicator on the board.
  3. Turn the board off and then turn the board back on. Press the power button twice. Calibration will now be completed.

Safety Alerts

While riding your Ranger, if there is a system error or illegal operation performed the device will prompt the user in a variety of ways. You will notice the Running Indicator Light will turn RED and you will hear a beep sound alerting you to take precaution and cease operation, which may make the device stop suddenly.

The following are common occurrences where you will hear the Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure or errors.

WARNING: When the Ranger turns off during a Safety Alert, all operation systems will halt. Do not continue attempting to ride the Ranger when the system initiates a stop. Turn your Ranger off and back on to unlock it from a Safety Lock.
