2. Product Introduction

Description of the Self-Balancing Scooter

This self-balancing scooter is a high-tech electric personal transportation device which, based on

dynamic balance principles, can be controlled forward, backward and standing still. The

advantages of our self-balancing scooter are: easy operation, flexible control, low carbon output,

environmental protection and suitable for various surfaces. The self-balancing scooter can be

used for travel for leisure, scenic tours, security patrol and other applications normally travelled

via foot. When you stand on the self-balancing scooter, by shifting your weight forward or

backward on the foot pads, the unit will automatically assist in maintaining balance. To turn you

will slow down and shift the weight in your feet to determine the direction to turn.

Description of Parts

This self-balancing scooter uses gyroscope and acceleration sensors to intelligently control

balance depending on a center of gravity. It also uses servo-control systems to drive the motor

accurately.

A built-in inertia dynamic stabilization system maintains the direction of forward and backward,

however, it cannot guarantee the stability of left and right. When you drive a self-balancing

scooter, please shift your weight in order to overcome the centrifugal force and improve the

stability while turning.

There are four sensors under the foot pads. When the user steps on the self-balancing scooter, it

will automatically adjust to balance. You must ensure that you are stepping on the rubber foot

pads – please don’t step on the unit outside of the rubber pads.

Note: Do not place items on the rubber foot pads while not in operation – this will make the unit

unable to switch off and increase the probability of collision and potential injury to nearby people

or damage to the self-balancing scooter itself.

The display board is located in the middle of the self-balancing scooter. It displays information

regarding the self-balancing scooter.

• Battery Display: When GREEN, this battery shaped LED light indicates the self-

balancing scooter is fully charged. When RED/ORANGE, the battery is on low charge,

please recharge. Note: If the battery LED is blinking red/orange and the unit is beeping,

it means the unit will soon shut off due to the battery being too low for operation.

• Running Display: When the stepping on the foot pads, the running LED will light up

GREEN which means that the system is running. When the unit has an error, the running

LED light will turn RED.

3. Safe Operation of the Self-Balancing Scooter

We strongly recommend that you read all of the information in this manual prior to riding the

self-balancing scooter for the first time in order to familiarize yourself with important safety

information such as speed limits, vibration alerts and safety shutdown, etc. Be sure to check the

wheels for damage, proper inflation of the tires (if applicable) or for any parts that may be loose

before driving. If there are any abnormal situations, please contact us for information.

When the self-balancing scooter exceeds the max speed due to sloping terrain, it will alert the

rider to slow down by beeping and the red sensor LED light will begin to flash on and off.

Riders should wear a helmet, wrist guards, knee pads and elbow pads, especially beginners.

Mouth guards are also recommended as protection against in the event one should fall off of the

scooter.

This unit should be operated on a smooth, dry surfaces well away from traffic or obstacles that

may cause a collision and/or injury to the rider.

Check the unit over carefully before each use. If there are any cracked, loose or broken parts, the

unit should not be used until it is repaired.
