HOVERBOARD NITROX FLASH User Manual
1. Safe Use
1.1 About Safety Use
This section provides important safety information for operating the two-wheel intelligent drifting scooter. It is recommended to read the manual thoroughly before driving. Check the scooter for wear, loose parts, or bolts before each use. Contact your local distributor for repairs or maintenance if any issues are found. The manual contains details on speed limits, indicator lights, and safety shutdowns. Drive safely and avoid endangering others or their property. Do not modify scooter parts, as this can affect performance and lead to accidents.
1.2 Limited Weight of the Driver
To ensure driver safety and reduce damage from overloading, there are weight limits:
- Maximum driver weight: 100 kg
- Minimum driver weight: 20 kg
WARNING! Overloading leads to driver falling. ⚠️
1.3 Disposal
♻️ Please put this product indoors in good condition in case of rain, snow and/or other bad environment. Please don't put this product in high places.
This product should not be disposed of with general household waste within the EU. To prevent harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources. For returns, use designated collection systems or contact the retailer where the product was purchased for environmentally safe recycling.
Factors Affecting Distance and Speed Limit
Distance Factors
Several factors influence the distance the scooter can travel on a single charge:
- Terrain: Smooth, flat roads allow for longer distances than uneven surfaces.
- Loading: The weight of the driver affects the range.
- Temperature: Storing the scooter at recommended temperatures can increase distance.
- Maintenance: Regular and proper battery charging extends the distance.
- Speed and Drive Style: Moderate speeds and consistent driving styles result in longer distances compared to frequent starting, stopping, accelerating, and decelerating.
Speed Limit
The maximum speed is 12 km/h. If the actual speed exceeds this limit, a warning sound will activate, and the deck will lift to reduce speed. While drivers can easily maintain balance at normal speeds, excessive speed can lead to loss of control and falling.
WARNING! Seek assistance from a professional or another person when first learning to drive to prevent falls and injuries.
2. Learn to Drive Drifting Scooter
Carefully read all terms in this user manual to fully understand the scooter for safe and enjoyable operation.
2.1 Intelligent Drifting Scooter Steps
- Start: Press the power switch for about 3 seconds until the green light turns on.
- Mounting: Place one foot on the deck, aligning with the trigger switch operation indicator light. The balancing system will activate. Once balanced, place the other foot on the deck. Maintain balance before attempting to move forward.
- Movement: Once stable with both feet on the deck, the scooter will remain stationary. Move forward or backward by gently shifting your body weight forward or backward. Avoid large body movements. Note: If the deck is not level when the trigger is on, an alarm will sound, and the indicator light will illuminate, preventing the system from entering the automatic balance state. Driving is prohibited in this condition.
- Direction Control: Steer by gently leaning your body.
- Dismounting: Stop the scooter completely. Step off with one foot from the rear (not the front), followed by the other foot.
Description of Driving Posture: The document includes a description of the intelligent drifting scooter's driving drawing, illustrating the rider's stance for balance and control. It emphasizes a relaxed posture with slightly bent knees and feet placed firmly on the deck. Body movements should be subtle to control direction and speed.
Prohibitions: Turning quickly at high speeds is dangerous. Avoid driving or turning on slopes, as this can offset the balancing angle and compromise driver safety.
2.2 Intelligent Drifting Scooter Protection Function
The system provides warnings for errors or irregularities during driving:
- General Warning: Alarm light is normally on, buzzer sounds intermittently. The system may not enter balance mode. This occurs when:
- The platform tilts forward or backward more than 10 degrees during mounting.
- Battery voltage is too low.
- The scooter is in the process of charging.
- The deck lifts during driving (operation prohibited).
- Over-speeding.
- Low battery.
- Scooter unit shakes back and forth for more than 30 seconds.
- Protection Mode: Alarm light is normally on, buzzer alarms at a high rate. This occurs when:
- Platform tilts forward or backward more than 35 degrees (direct stop condition).
- Tire locked-rotor (stop condition in 2 seconds).
- Battery voltage is lower than the protection threshold (stop condition in 15 seconds).
- Continuous large current discharge (e.g., long uphill slope) (stop condition after 15 seconds).
WARNING! When the scooter is off, the system locks automatically and can be unlocked with a button. If the battery is depleted or the system enters protection mode, stop driving immediately as the scooter cannot balance. Continuing to drive can cause injury and affect battery life.
2.3 Intelligent Drifting Scooter Driving Practice
Before driving outdoors, ensure proficiency for safety:
- Wear comfortable casual sports clothes and flat shoes for flexibility.
- Practice in a spacious, flat area until comfortable with mounting/dismounting, moving forward/backward, turning, and stopping.
- Pay attention to the flatness of the ground.
- When practicing on different terrains, slow down on unfamiliar surfaces.
- Never lift the drifting scooter off the ground.
- The scooter is designed for flat ground entertainment use only.
- Avoid driving in crowded areas or places with obstacles if not sufficiently skilled.
- When passing through doorways, be mindful of head clearance and ensure sufficient height and width.
3. Driving Safety Instruction

4. Batteries Charging and Maintenance
This chapter details charging methods, battery maintenance, safety precautions, and specifications. Follow these instructions for driver safety, maximum battery life, and improved performance.
4.1 Lack of Battery Power
A red power indicator light signifies low battery power, and it is advised to stop driving immediately. Insufficient battery energy will cause the base platform to lift, preventing further use. Continuing to drive with a low battery can lead to falls, injuries, and reduced battery lifespan.
Do not use the battery if:
- It emits an abnormal smell or excessive heat.
- It leaks any material.
Battery Safety Precautions:
- Only professional personnel should disassemble or maintain the battery.
- Avoid touching any leaked battery material.
- Keep children and animals away from the battery.
- Unplug the charger before installing the battery or driving. Driving or using the scooter while charging is dangerous.
- Batteries contain dangerous substances; do not open them or insert materials.
- Only use original chargers provided by the company; using others is dangerous.
- Do not charge lithium batteries that have been over-discharged, as they are unsafe for continued use and must be discarded.
- Use the intelligent drifting scooter battery in compliance with local laws.
4.2 Charging Steps
Charging Procedure:
- Ensure the charging port is dry.
- Insert the charger plug into a socket (100-240V; 50-60 Hz). Confirm the charger's green indicator light is on normally. Then, connect the charger to the scooter.
- A red indicator light on the scooter signifies the normal charging process. If it does not light up, check the circuit connection.
- When the indicator light turns from red to green, the battery is fully charged. First, pull out the power plug, then disconnect the scooter end. Overcharging can affect battery lifespan.
- Use the local standard plug.
- Charge and store the battery according to the rules to prevent damage or reduced lifespan.
- Standard charging time is approximately 2 hours; overcharging will reduce battery life.
- Charge the battery in a clean and dry environment.
- Do not charge if the charging port is wet.
4.3 Temperature Too High or Too Low
For optimal scooter performance, the battery temperature must remain within the marked range. Charging efficiency is highest when the temperature is close to the recommended range. Charging time may increase, or the battery may not fully charge if the temperature is too low or too high.
