Operating Principals

The Dream uses digital electronic gyroscopes and acceleration sensors to control balance and motion, depending on the user's center of gravity. The Dream also uses a control system to operate the motors that are located within the wheels. The Dream has a built-in inertia dynamic stabilization system that can assist with balance when moving forward and backward, 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.

Specifications

Controls and Display

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Before Riding

It is important that you fully understand all functions of your Dream. If these functions are not used correctly, you will not have full control of your Dream.

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

Safety Precautions

Different localities and countries have different laws about riding electric transportation devices on public roads. 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.

• For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious injury and in some cases, even death.

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 at a time.

Riding Your Dream

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

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

Dismounting and Limitations

? NOTES:

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

Dismounting your hoverboard can be one of the easiest steps, yet when done incorrectly, may cause you to fall. To properly dismount from a stopped position, lift your dominant leg up and set your foot down on the ground behind you (STEP BACK). Then, step off the hoverboard with your other foot.

Diagram showing dismounting: Hoverboard stopped, one foot lifts off, then second foot lifts off.

⚠️ WARNING

Make sure to lift your feet completely off the foot mat to clear the hoverboard when stepping back to dismount. Failure to do so may send the hoverboard into a tailspin.

Operating Range and Calibration

⚠️ WARNING

Riding the Dream while exceeding the weight limit may increase the possibility of injury or product damage.

? NOTES:

When max speed is reached, the Dream will beep to alert the user and tilt the rider slowly back to prevent injury.

Safety Alerts

If a system error occurs or an improper operation is performed while riding the Dream, the device will alert 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. The hoverboard may stop suddenly.

The following are common occurrences that will produce safety alerts. These notices should not be ignored, and appropriate action should be taken to correct any improper operation, failure, or errors:

• Unsafe riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.)
