BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
After reading through this guide, you must view the online tutorials for the Kaiser Baas Revo Glider to familiarise yourself further with the features and operating controls.
You can view these tutorials here – www.kaiserbaas.com/revoglider
WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
The Revo Glider is optimised for riders of up to 120kg – 265lbs and of a minimum weight of 20kg-45lbs.
OPERATING RANGE
In ideal conditions, the Revo Glider can travel distances of up to 20km. The typical range for the Revo Glider is between 12-15 km
There are several factors that will decrease the optimal range of the Revo Glider: Speed and Riding style. Maintaining a moderate speed will achieve an increased Operating Range on
the Revo Glider whereas, ‘hooning’ around with frequent stops, starts, idling and extreme acceleration will result in a decrease in range.
Terrain. The Revo Glider is designed for smooth and flat surfaces and operating it across uneven and rough terrain is not only dangerous, but will negatively aect the Operating Range of the Revo Glider.
Weight. The weight of the user can aect the Operating Range of the Revo Glider. Battery Maintenance. Reasonable battery charging and maintenance will allow for the maximum
Operating Range on the Revo Glider. Over-charging or failing to follow proper charging instructions can reduce the Operating Range.

PREPARATION
You must carefully read this User Guide, in its entirety, before you step on the Revo Glider. Please follow the charging instructions in this User Guide before you attempt to use the Revo Glider. We highly recommend that you grab a friend to be your spotter when you first start using the Revo
Glider. Your spotter will help you centre your balance and will oer you assistance should you accidentally cause the Revo Glider to accelerate from underneath you. Your spotter should read the User Guide and become familiar with the instructional videos prior to acting as a spotter.
UNDERSTANDING THE REVO GLIDER
The Revo Glider moves forwards and backwards using cues from your body position and posture. If you stand straight and confidently on the Revo Glider, you will be able to control your movement to the point where you are almost motionless.
Don’t forget, the Revo Glider is intuitive, it will move according to the cues it gets from your body. If you lean forward slightly, or tilt your toes forward, the Revo Glider will move forward.
If you lean backwards slightly, or tilt your heels to the ground, the Revo Glider will move backwards. As you become familiar with the Revo Glider, you will notice that tilting one foot forward and leaning the other back will allow the Revo Glider to turn, on the spot and whilst moving.

REVO GLIDER TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND
Maintain a relaxed stance and position. If you tense up and try to make large adjustments, the Revo
Glider will copy you, exaggerating these motions and possibly accelerating out from underneath you. Gain an even foot position. When you finally step up onto the Revo Glider, make sure your feet are
symmetrically placed on the Revo Glider Foot Pads. A symmetrical stance will make sure the tilt and lean of your body is accurately interpreted by the Revo Glider.
Don’t get yourself into a flap. Avoid flailing your arms as this will aect your stance and posture on the Revo Glider.
A solid dismount. ALWAYS dismount the Revo Glider by stepping BACKWARDS one foot at a time. Why? Because when you step forward, your toes tilt towards the ground and the Revo Glider will think you want to go forwards. Trust us, step backwards o the glider.

CHARGING YOUR REVO GLIDER
Remove your Revo Glider from its packaging and place it on a steady surface for charging. Ensure that the charging port of the Revo Glider is clean and dry. Make sure that there is no dust, debris
or dirt inside the charging port. See Product Diagram for charging port location. Use the included Revo Glider wall-charger and connect the Revo Glider to a suitable power point.
Use the appropriate cable provided for your region. NB: Using a non-provided cable will void your manufacturer warranty and may cause serious product failure.
The indicator light on the Revo Glider charger should change to RED, indicating that your Revo Glider is now charging.
When the RED indicator light on your Revo Glider charger turns to GREEN, your Revo Glider is fully charged.
For first-time use, please charge for approximately 2 hours as your Revo Glider has been manufactured with some residual power stored.
When you go to next charge your Revo Glider from flat, a full charge will take approximately 3 hours. DO NOT leave unattended or over-charge the battery for more than 3 hours.

USING THE REVO GLIDER - CHARGED AND READY
Step 1. Place your Revo Glider on the floor, keeping in mind you should be using a smooth and flat
surface. Find a suitable place to practice using the Revo Glider.
We recommend an open flat area with a few metres in each direction. The area should be free from obstructions and distractions.
Step 2. Press the POWER button of the Revo Glider, located on the front edge of your Revo Glider next to the charging port. The Revo Glider should beep, indicating that it has been powered-on.
Step 3. Check the Display Panel. The Revo Glider should display a green Battery Icon and Operating Icon when it is ready to ride.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If you see a red Battery Light, please recharge your Revo Glider. If the Revo Glider emits a series of warning beeps, the Revo Glider is not in its correct starting position. Please turn the Revo Glider o and place on a smooth surface as well as checking that the Revo Glider’s wheels and panels are even and unobstructed. Repeat Step 2.
Step 4. Put on your Safety Gear. Step 5. Grab your buddy! Your spotter should stand facing you, in
front of the Revo Glider. Ideally, you will step on to the Revo Glider and be able to use their arms or shoulders as support to centre your balance
Step 6. Stand directly behind the Revo Glider and make sure your spotter is ready for you to step on to the Revo Glider.
Page 13

EN
Step 7. Step quickly and confidently on to the Revo Glider. The Revo Glider is strong and will be able to hold you (see Weight Restrictions - Page 8). Plant your feet evenly on to the Revo Glider and strive to stand perfectly straight. This will make steadying the Revo Glider much easier. Use your spotter for support but maintain straight posture as this is how you will centre your balance on the Revo Glider.
TAKE YOUR TIME. On average, it takes at least 3-5 minutes just to get used to standing on the Revo Glider. Use the help of your spotter and allow your body and mind to understand that the straighter you are, the more motionless the Revo Glider becomes. Remember the rules from earlier on (REVO GLIDER TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND - Page 10).
The Revo Glider is intuitive, if you lean forward, you’ll travel forward. If you lean backwards, you’ll travel backwards. If you do not lean at all, you should travel nowhere!
Practice stepping backwards, o the Revo Glider. This is the single most important skill you will need for the safe operation of the Revo Glider. DO NOT step forwards.
ALWAYS STEP BACKWARDS, WITH A STEADY FOOT POSITION, WHEN TRYING TO DISMOUNT THE REVO GLIDER.
Practice stepping on and o the Revo Glider, using the help of your spotter.
This diagram explains how to move forward and backwards. Keeping upright places you perfectly still.
TOP TIP: Lean your head in the direction you wish to travel.

MANOUVERING YOUR REVO GLIDER PART 1.
Now that you’re comfortable stepping on and o the Revo Glider, you can now focus on gradually making the Revo Glider move forwards and backwards.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT and remember, the Revo Glider is intuitive. We advise you to not overthink the gliding process but rather to remember the operating/motion rules:
Move forwards. Tilt your toes to the ground slightly to start the Revo Glider moving in a forwards direction.
Stop moving. Flatten your feet on the Revo Glider and maintain a straight body position to stop the Revo Glider moving.
Move backwards. Lean your heels towards the ground slightly to start the Revo Glider moving backwards direction.
Do not ride or turn fast when travelling backwards. Always stop in a controlled manner and avoid stopping abruptly. Stop by slowly shifting your weight
away from the direction you are travelling. Failure to stop in a controlled manner may result in the Revo Glider losing traction causing you to fall.
TOP TIP: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Page 15

EN
MANOUVERING YOUR REVO GLIDER PART 2.
Now that you can move the Revo Glider forwards and backwards, we can talk about how to turn the Revo Glider in each direction.
Stop turning. Return your feet to an even position and stand straight. This will stop you turning in any direction.
Practice turning slowly at first and to increase the acuteness of the turn, when tilting any one foot towards the ground, lean the opposite heel back in an equal fashion.
Always turn in a controlled manner. Turning too quickly can result in loss of control.
Turn right: Tilt your LEFT foot towards the ground and the Revo Glider will begin to turn to the right.
Turn left: Tilt your RIGHT foot towards the ground and the Revo Glider will begin to turn to the left.
TOP TIP: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE until you can execute a zero-degree turning circle by turning confidently in each direction, on the spot.
Page 16

EN
Now you can work turns into the forwards and backwards movement of the Revo Glider. Keep practicing to begin navigating past obstacles and moving through joint spaces, such as rooms and doorways.
Use caution when riding in new environments Be careful when riding through doorways or under branches or similar objects as the Revo Glider
increases your height. Be alert for hazards when riding including changes in the terrain such as footpaths and grass.

ALERTS - WHAT IS THAT AWFUL BEEPING SOUND?
When the Revo Glider needs your attention or encounters an error, it will emit a series of warning beeps to let you know. This could be for the following reasons:
• You fell o the Revo Glider. The Revo Glider will be able to sense when you unexpectedly dismount and will emit the warning beeping to let you know its sensors have been thrown out. Place the Revo Glider on a smooth and flat surface, then turn the Revo Glider o, then on again.
• You activated the speed alarm. The Revo Glider has an inbuilt speed alarm that will sound when you are moving faster than 10km per hour. Reduce your speed to deactivate the speed alarm. See speed restrictions below.
• The Revo Glider has low-battery. The Display Panel will show a red Battery Icon alerting you to the fact that you should charge your Revo Glider.
• The Revo Glider’s motors are overheating. This is usually caused by pushing the Revo Glider outside of its optimal conditions e.g. riding uphill or over uneven terrain. Please allow the Revo Glider to cool down.
SPEED RESTRICTIONS
The Revo Glider’s maximum speed is limited to about 12km per hour. Please keep in mind that riding at 12km per hour will trip the Speed Alarm and will cause the Revo Glider to emit a series of warning beeps. This alarm has been designed with your safety in mind as the Revo Glider is not designed for speeds above 12km per hour. We highly recommend that users keep the Revo Glider at under 12km per hour.
Speed Conversion: 12kp/h = 7mp/h

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE - KEEPING YOUR REVO GLIDER IN GOOD NICK
We highly recommend that you routinely inspect and maintain your Revo Glider, as you would a bike, board or car. If you discover abnormalities or have any issues with your Revo Glider, please contact Kaiser Baas immediately for advice.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Check the body and tyres of your Revo Glider for damage or excessive wear. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents if you wish to clean and wipe down your Revo Glider. Do not
allow any liquids to enter the ports or buttons of the Revo Glider. The Revo Glider is IP 54 rated, meaning that it can withstand small splashes of water. It is NOT water-
resistant or waterproof and must not be operated or stored in waterlogged conditions. Water and other liquids can cause permanent damage to the circuitry and electronic components inside the Revo Glider.
STORAGE
Store your Revo Glider indoors, in dry conditions at a suitable temperature. If the ambient temperature of the storage location is below 0°C/32°F degrees or above 55°C/131°F
degrees, please select an alternative storage location. To prevent dust and particles entering your Revo Glider during storage, please seal it inside its original
packaging and add additional layers of protection where desired. If storing your Revo Glider for extended periods of time, please note that the charge level of the Revo
Glider may be depleted during storage. We recommend re-charging your stored Revo Glider every 3 months to make sure it is ready to ride when it is brought out of storage.
