• Read the manual carefully before using the hoverboard.
• Only for use in dry weather.
• Balance scooters are not recommended for use on public roads; for domestic use only.

Chapter 2: Operating the Balance Scooter

1.2. Preparation Before Operation

Before using, the battery should be fully charged. Please check Chapter 6.

1.3. Weight Limitation of the Operator

The weight limitation ensures operator safety and reduces the risk of overloading damage.

2.1. Calibration

If your hoverboard seems to pull to the left or right, recalibrate its sensors:

1. Shut down and level the scooter.
2. Press the Power button for more than 10 seconds until the light flashes 5 times.
3. Shut down the scooter again.

NOTE: Built-in Self-Balance function makes it easy for driving.

2.2. Operating Principle

The hoverboard uses a dynamic equilibrium system with internal gyroscopes and acceleration sensors. The hoverboard's status is controlled by the center of gravity, adjusted by motors controlled by a servo control system. Leaning forward accelerates the device. To turn, slow down and shift your feet forward or backward to move your center of gravity left or right, allowing the hoverboard to sense the direction.

The hoverboard has an inertial dynamic stabilization system for anterior-posterior balance but does not guarantee left-right balance. Operate slowly when turning to avoid injury.

2.3. Learn How to Use It

Step 1: Press the power button to turn on the hoverboard.

Step 2: Place the hoverboard on a flat ground, ensuring all safety measures are taken. Place one foot on the pad, which will trigger the pedal switch and turn on the operation indicator. Once the system enters self-balancing mode, place the other foot on the pad.

Step 3: Control the hoverboard's forward or backward movement. Ensure your body movements are not abrupt.

NOTE: If you are not balanced when triggering the foot-switch, a buzzer will alarm, and the warning LED will light. The system is not in a self-balanced condition. Do not operate the hoverboard without a balanced condition. Recalibrate sensors as per section 2.2.

Step 4: Control the left and right direction of the hoverboard.

Step 5: Before dismounting, ensure the hoverboard is balanced and stopped. Step off one foot, then the other.

[Warning] You should never turn violently when driving fast.

[Warning] You should never ride sideways or turn on a slope. It will lead to a fall and injury.

Chapter 3: Pedal Sensor and Indicator Operation

2.4. Always React on Alarms

The hoverboard will not operate in the following situations:

• During operation, if the system detects an error, it will prompt operators via prohibition of riding, alarm indicator lights, or buzzer beeps. The system cannot enter self-balancing mode.
• When stepping on the hoverboard, if the platform moves forwards or backwards more than 10 degrees, the unit will not operate.
• The battery voltage is too low.
• During charging.
• During operation, if the platform turns upside down, operation will be prohibited.
• Over speeding.
• The battery is not charged enough.
• Tire stall: after two seconds, the scooter enters power-off mode.
• Battery voltage is lower than the protection value: after 15 seconds, the hoverboard enters power-off mode.
• Continuing large current discharge (e.g., climbing a very steep slope for a long time).

[Warning] When the hoverboard enters the shutdown state (low battery), the system will lock the machine automatically. It can be unlocked by pressing the power button. If the battery is depleted or the system indicates a safety shutdown, do not continue to drive. The hoverboard cannot balance without sufficient battery, and the driver is likely to be harmed. Continued driving at minimum battery levels negatively affects battery life. The product should only be used in temperatures between -10°C and +45°C.

2.5. Riding Practice

Before driving, ensure you are familiar with driving skills. Always practice with someone ready to assist.

• Wear casual (but not loose) clothes and flat shoes for flexibility.
• Practice in open spaces until you can easily get on/off.
• Ensure the surface is level.
• Slow down when driving on different terrain.
• Reduce speed on rough surfaces.
• Before driving: Read Chapter 4 on maximum speed and Chapter 5 on safe driving thoroughly.

Chapter 3: Pedal Sensor and Indicator Operation

3.1. Pedal Sensor

The hoverboard has four sensors below the pedals. When an operator steps on the pedal, the hoverboard automatically adjusts to a balancing pattern. Ensure pedals are fully stepped on while riding; do not step on areas outside the pedals. Do not place objects on the pedals that could cause the hoverboard to operate by itself, increasing the risk of crashing, personal injury, or damage.

3.2. Battery & Operation Indicators

The indicator is located in the middle of the hoverboard for operation information.

• Battery Indicator: Green indicates sufficient power. Red indicates low battery (15-20% left), requiring recharge. Red with a warning alarm sound indicates the battery is depleted; stop driving immediately as the hoverboard will shut down and lose balance, risking injury.
• Operation Indicator: Lights up when the pedal is triggered, indicating the system is operating. Turns red if the system encounters an error.

Chapter 4: Range and Speed

4.1. Range Per Charge

Range per charge is influenced by several factors:

• Topography: Range increases on even roads and decreases on uneven terrain.
• Weight: Operator weight influences driving distance.
• Temperature: Extreme temperatures decrease driving distance.
• Maintenance: Proper charging and battery condition maximize driving distance.
• Speed and Driving Style: Steady speeds increase range; frequent starts, stops, and acceleration reduce it.

4.2. Max. Speed

The hoverboard's maximum speed is rated at 14 km/h, but this depends on battery charge, surface condition/angle, wind direction, and driver's weight. Under optimal conditions (full battery, level surface, tailwind, light rider), speed may exceed 15 km/h.

Approaching maximum speed triggers a warning signal; speed should be reduced. Driving at speeds up to 12 km/h is recommended for comfort and safety.

The hoverboard balances well at permissive speeds.

Chapter 5: Safe Driving
