1. Product Overview
1.1. General Information
The original hoverboard is an intuitive, technologically advanced solution that provides the user personal transportation based on dynamic balancing principles
calculating the user’s center of gravity using gyroscope and acceleration sensors. Using the latest technology and production processes, each hoverboard
undergoes strict testing for quality and durability. With its lightweight, portable design, ease of use, range, and low carbon footprint.
1.2. What You Need To Know
Before you first experience your hoverboard, please read the USER MANUAL thoroughly and learn the basics to ensure your safety and the safety of others. It
is highly recommended that your initial hoverboard experience be with a spotter who can assist you in centering your balance. Once you keep your center of
gravity even, you will be able to stand on the hoverboard without moving, similar to standing on the ground. The most important thing to do is stay relaxed and
confident. The hoverboard is very intuitive and senses the slightest motion, so finding your center of balance is the key. Step on quickly, confidently, and evenly,
but remember to keep your body still. Please refrain from flaying your arms, leaning too far forward and/or backwards, or stepping on your hoverboard unevenly,
as this will cause you to lose control and increase your probability of injury. Please follow the detailed directions outlined in the USER MANUAL in Section 3 under
Operating Principles.
1.3. WARNING
Failure to follow the basic instructions and safety precautions listed in the USER MANUAL, can lead to damages to your hoverboard, other property damages,
serious bodily injury, and even death.
2. Product Description
2.1. Description of the hoverboard
The hoverboard has two wheels that balance and transport the user using battery powered brushless motors. The hoverboard uses digital gyroscope modules
and acceleration sensors to calculate the user’s center of gravity and move the device accordingly. The hoverboard can move forwards, backwards, turn in either
direction or turn in place. The compact footprint and zero degree turning radius allow you to enjoy your hoverboard both indoors and outdoors.

3. Operating Principles
3.1. How the Hoverboard works
The hoverboard uses digital electronic gyroscopes and acceleration sensors to control balance and motion intelligently, depending on the user’s center of gravity.
The device also uses an intelligent control system to drive the brushless motors that are located within the wheels. The hoverboard has a built-in inertia dynamic
stabilization system that can help assist with balance when moving forward and backwards, but not while turning.
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.
3.2. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Step 1: Getting Started - Take your hoverboard out of the box and place it flat on the floor. Press the power button, located on the front of your hoverboard, next
to the 3-pin charging port.
Step 2: Checking the Display Board - located in the center of your hoverboard. The hoverboard should power on and beep indicating it is on. The Battery indicator
light should be lit, indicating there is power.
A. Battery Indicator: The solid LED light indicates the hoverboard is charged and when the remaining battery capacity is down to 10% a buzzer will alarm
telling you to recharge the device.
B. Running Indicator: As soon as you step onto the footmats,, the Running Indicator LED will light up, which means that the system enters the running
state; when the system has an error during operation, the running LED light will turn red and you will hear the system alert you with a beep.
Step 3: Charging your hoverboard - Make sure the hoverboard is fully charged before
your initial use. For charging instructions, please follow details in Section 8
under Charging your Hoverboard.
Step 4: Protective Gear - Wear all proper protective gear, including, but not limited
to a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
Step 5: Stepping On - Stand directly behind your hoverboard. Place one foot
on the hoverboard. Keep all your weight on your back foot still on the ground.
Otherwise, your device will begin to move, 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).
CAUTION – Stay relaxed and step on quickly, confidently and evenly.
Imagine climbing a stair, one foot, then the other. Once your feet are even, try
to look up and once on the hoverboard it will take a few seconds to adjust
the center of gravity according to your weight and friction on the road.
Step 6: Staying Balanced - 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 hoverboard, just as if you were standing on the ground.
IF NOT, you may feel like you are moving in a particular direction, turning,
spinning in place, wobbling back and forth, or simply uncomfortable
with the device.
CAUTION – On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable
standing on the hoverboard and maintaining proper balance. Having a
spotter will help you feel more secure. The hoverboard 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 movement that is not otherwise natural to you. The best way to
overcome that initial anxiety is by having a spotter.
If you begin to turn in a particular direction, focus on turning in the opposite
direction to stop turning. When you first begin using your hoverboard, 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.
Step 7: Riding your hoverboard - Keeping in mind what we learned in Step 6, apply
the following general principles to the operation of your hoverboard.
Notice in the diagram above, your center of gravity determines which
direction you move, accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop.
CAUTION - Try staying relaxed and focus on finding your center of
gravity to maintain full control. 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. The more comfortable you get on the
hoverboard, the easier you will maneuver. Remember at higher
speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifu-
gal force. For bumps or uneven roads, bend your knees.
Step 8: The Dismount - Stepping off of the hoverboard can be one of the easiest
steps, yet when done improperly, 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.
CAUTION - A common error is to try and step forward.
WARNING – make sure to lift your leg completely off to clear the
device when stepping back, otherwise you can get sent into a tailspin.
