Chapter II: Product Introduction

2.1 Description of the Electric Scooter

The self-balancing electric scooter can go forwards, backwards, steer, and stop controlled by dynamic equilibrium. It possesses a fashionable appearance, simple operation, and is easy to control, offering advantages like being low-carbon and environmentally friendly. It is a great companion.

2.2 Accessories

2.3 Operating Principal

The self-balancing electric scooter adapts dynamic equilibrium, using internal gyroscope and acceleration sensors. The status of the electric scooter is controlled by the user's center of gravity. When you lean forward, it will sense your actions to accelerate. When you need to swerve, slow it down, and move your foot forwards or backwards, then the center of gravity of the body moves left or right, therefore the scooter can realize left or right movement.

The self-balancing electric scooter has an inertial dynamic stabilization system, so it can keep anterior-posterior balance but cannot guarantee left and right balance. Therefore, the scooter needs to be operated slowly when swerved, as you may get injured because of the large centrifugal force.

Diagrams illustrating the operating principle: A person standing upright on the scooter. A second diagram shows the person leaning forward, with an arrow pointing left, indicating forward acceleration. A third diagram shows the person leaning backward, with an arrow pointing right, indicating deceleration or reverse movement. The text clarifies that leaning forward accelerates, and shifting weight left/right controls steering.

Chapter III: Information Indicate Devices

3.1 Pedal Sensor

The self-balancing electric scooter has 4 sensors below the pedals. When the operator steps on the pedal, the scooter will automatically adjust itself to the balancing pattern. When riding, ensure the pedal is stepped on; do not step on the parts outside the pedal. Do not place objects on the pedals, as this can prevent the scooter from turning off and increase the possibility of crushing, personal injury, and damage to the scooter.

3.2 Indicator

The indicator is located in the middle of the scooter and is used for operation information.

• Battery indicator part: Green light means full charge. Yellow light means half battery. Red light means 20% battery; the scooter needs charging.
• Operation indicator: When the pedal is triggered, the operation indicator lights up, signifying the system is in operating conditions. If the system runs an error, the indicator will turn red.

3.3 Bluetooth Speaker

If you have purchased a Bluetooth version, you will hear a Bluetooth tone after booting up, which may be a short piece of music or a sentence voice. You can then connect your scooter with your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Chapter IV: About Safely Use

EVERCROSS hopes every operator can ride the scooter safely and enjoy it. Drawing from experiences learning to ride bikes, drive cars, or ski, these skills can help you learn the scooter faster.

Follow the User's Manual to ride the self-balancing electric scooter safely. We highly advise you read the manual carefully at the first time.

Before riding, make sure the tires are good and spare parts are tight. If there is anything abnormal, please contact the agency for repairing immediately.

Please read the manual carefully to get important information, including speed limitation, indicator warnings, and how to turn off safely.

Please never use the scooter for anything that may cause personal injury or property loss.

Please do not modify the spare parts of the electric scooter, as it can badly influence the capacity of the scooter and even destroy it, potentially causing side-effects.

4.1 The Weight Limitation of the Operator

• Reason for weight limitation: 1. Guarantee the safety of the operator; 2. Decrease the damage from overloading.
• Maximum load: 100 KGS
• Minimum load: 20 KGS

WARNING!: Overloading may make you fall.

4.2 Range Per Charge

The range per charge is related to many factors, for example:

• Topography: Driving on a flat road results in longer driving mileage; otherwise, it will be shortened.
• Weight: The operator's body weight can influence driving mileage. Temperature: Placing the scooter at an appropriate temperature will increase driving mileage. Conversely, placing it at an extreme temperature will decrease it.
• Maintenance: If the scooter is properly charged and the battery is in good condition, it will increase the driving mileage. In the opposite case, it will reduce the driving mileage.
• Speed and driving style: Maintaining a moderate speed will increase the driving mileage. Conversely, frequent starts, stops, accelerations, and decelerations will reduce the driving mileage.

4.3 Max Speed

• The maximum speed of the scooter depends on the model you have chosen.
• When the scooter exceeds the maximum speed, it will sound an alarm.
• Within the permissive speed, the electric scooter can balance itself well. When the speed is faster than the permissive speed, it will warn the operator to slow down.

Chapter V: Learn How to Use It

The User's Manual has told all the instructions and notes; the operator must read them carefully and follow these instructions. It is very important to know all these notes.

5.1 Learn How to Use It

1. Step 1: Press the power switch to turn on the self-balancing electric scooter.
2. Step 2: Preparations for driving. First, step on one foot to trigger the foot switch on the pedal, and the system will enter the self-balancing state. Then step on the other foot to the other side to operate it.
3. Step 3: Take control of the scooter forwards or backwards. The movement of the body cannot be dramatic while driving.

NOTE: If the scooter is not in a balancing condition when you trigger the foot-switch, the buzzer will alarm, and the warning LED will light. The system cannot come into self-balancing condition. At this moment, you should not operate.

4. Step 4: Control the left and right direction of the scooter.
5. Step 5: Get off. Before getting off, make sure the scooter is still on, then leave one foot and then leave the other foot.

Diagrams illustrating mounting and riding: The first shows a person standing on the scooter. The second shows a person with one foot on the pedal, indicating preparation to mount. The third shows a person with both feet on the pedals, ready to ride. The fourth shows a person falling (marked with X) and a person riding stably (marked with V). The fifth set of diagrams shows body posture for steering: upright, leaning slightly forward (arrow left), leaning slightly backward (arrow right).

5.2 Protect Function

You are forbidden to turn violently when driving fast, otherwise it will be dangerous. You are forbidden to ride sideways or swerve on the slope, as it will lead to the balance angle skewing and endanger your safety.

During operation, if the system runs incorrectly or is illegally operated, the scooter will prompt operators in different ways, such as prohibiting riding, alarm indicator lights, and intermittent buzzer alarms. The system cannot enter self-balancing mode.

The system may enter protection mode or stop mode under the following conditions:

• When stepping on the scooter, the pedal goes forwards or backwards more than 10 degrees.
• The voltage of the battery is too low.
• During charging.
• During operation, the pedal is unturned and prohibits operation.
• Over speeding.
• The power is not enough.
• The electric scooter shakes back and forth for more than 30 seconds.
• System enters into protection mode: alarm indicator lights, buzzer alarms of high frequency.
• The platform goes forwards or backwards more than 35 degrees: the electric scooter will directly enter the stop mode.
• Tire stall: two seconds later, the electric scooter enters power-off mode.
• The battery voltage is lower than the protection value: 15 seconds later, the electric scooter enters into power-off mode.
• Continuing large current discharge (such as a long-time climbing a very steep slope): 15 seconds later, the electric scooter enters into power-off mode.

5.3 Riding Practice

WARNING!

When the scooter enters the off state, the system will automatically lock the scooter. It can be unlocked when the lock button is pressed. Do not continue driving the scooter when the battery is exhausted or the system signals a safety shutdown. The scooter cannot be balanced when the battery is low, and in this case, the driver may be hurt. If the battery reaches a minimum, continuing to drive the scooter will affect the battery life.

Before driving the scooter outdoors, please make sure you are familiar with the skills of driving:

• Please wear casual wear and flat shoes as much as possible to maintain flexibility.
• Practice driving the scooter in an open space until you can easily get on, go forward, go back, stop, and get off.
• Make sure the road is flat.
• When you are familiar with the scooter, you can drive on different terrains and off the ground at any time. Slow down in difficult terrain.
• Self-balancing electric scooters are transportation vehicles designed for smooth roads. Please slow down to ensure safety when driving on uneven roads.
• If you are not familiar with scooters, please avoid driving to places with pedestrians, obstacles, and other potential risk factors. Be careful when entering doorways to ensure the scooter can pass.

5.4 Reset

The steps to reset the scooter are as follows:

1. Make sure the hoverboard is fully charged.
2. Keep the hoverboard pedals parallel to the ground.
