3 HOW TO RIDE
It is highly recommended to begin your first scooter experience with the help of a friend. Having a helping hand during initial use will increase your confidence and help you become acclimated to your scooter. Besides, always wear the proper safety gear before riding the hoverboard.
Before operating, charge your MEGAWHEELS unit with the included power adapter. Charge time can take up to 90-120 minutes.
Put the hoverboard on the horizontal floor or table, keep it level. Press and hold the power button, then you will hear a beep voice, the battery indicator light will light up in green, which indicate that the unit is on.
07
3.1 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1- Put on your Safety Gear
Step 2 -Getting Started
On the top of the board, there are two indicator lights: Battery power level indicator light and system indicator light. When the board is on, the battery power level indicator light should be lit, indicating there is power to the device.
A. Battery Power Level Indicator: The Green LED light indicates that the scooter is fully charged, while red LED light indicates the power is down to 10% or less, then you will need to recharge the device.
Step 3- Checking The Status
Helmet
Elbow Pads
Wrist Guards
Knee Pads
Wear all proper safety gear that you have, including, but not limited to a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards.
Page 9
B. System Indicator: When the gyroscope on pedal is triggered, the green system indicator light will light up, which means that the system work correctly. When the system has an error during operation, the system indicator light will turn red and the system will alert the rider with a "beep" voice.
Step on one pedal to trigger the sensor, the system will enter self-balancing mode. Then step on the second pedal with your other foot quickly.
08
Step 4- Step on the board
Stand upright but relaxed. Do not make any sudden or jerky movements.
The MEGAWHEELS
®
has 4 sensor points on the sides of both pedals that
nearby wheels. When the rider steps on a pedal, the MEGAWHEELS
®
will
adjust itself to balance automatically.
If the board does not seem to work, check to be sure your feet are on pedals near the wheels to trigger the sensors.
If the MEGAWHEELS
®
does not enter self-balancing mode when triggering the sensor, the System indicator will turn red and flashing, together with "beep" voice. DO NOT operate the MEGAWHEELS
®
under these
conditions. Please power the unit off and back on again. If this fails resolve the issue, re-calibrate the board by following the Calibration Instructions
on Section 3.3.
Step 5- Staying balanced

Page 10
NOTE: When riding the MEGAWHEELS® , you must make sure both feet are touching the pedals for proper detection. Do not put other objects on the pedals, as it could cause the system to lock or move on its own.
NOTE:
- Do not tilt forward or backwards beyond 10º, as the unit may malfunction.
- The MEGAWHEELS
®
will not function if your unit flips upside down.
- Avoid uneven or rocky surfaces as the board may not function properly.
- Avoid hills or slopes of more than 20º incline.
- When the operator exceeds the maximum speed, the MEGAWHEELS
®
will emit a warning alarm.
The MEGAWHEELS
®
self-balances and moves because of Dynamic Equilibrium. This is generated by the shifting of your body weight. The hoverboard uses an internal gyroscope with acceleration sensors to move based on your center of gravity. When you lean forward, it will sense your actions and accelerate. When you need to turn, slow down and gently shift the weight on your left or right foot to turn towards the opposite direction.
Start by just thinking about moving forward. It’s natural to lean in the direction you want to go, and just a slight weight shift toward the front of the hoverboard will move it.
If the hoverboard isn’t moving yet, slowly and carefully lean forward until the hoverboard begins to move. Don’t worry if you move in circles at first. The board will turn when you lean toward one side or the other, so finding the perfect balance to go straight takes a little practice. Continue using it with a spotter beside until you get the hang of it.

To turn left, push your right toe forward slightly. Push forward with your left toe to turn right. After a bit of practice, it will seem like the board knows where you want to go before you do!
For a sharper turn, pull back with the opposite foot just a little. For example, if you want to make a sharp left turn, push forward with your right toe while pulling back your left toe. With practice, you’ll even be able to spin in circle.
The hoverboard can move backward, too. Make sure the space behind you is clear. Lean back just a little. The board will move in the direction you lean. Remember, just a slight shift in weight is all that it takes to move the board.
Stand straight up and down until the board slows and stops. Then, simply reverse what you did to get on the board. Shift your weight to your domi­nant foot and step off with the other foot. Use your core to control.
Getting on and off the board is the hardest part. Practice this with a spotter until you are very comfortable. Remember, don’t jump off the board.
The MEGAWHEELS
®
has an inertial dynamic stabilization system that keeps you upright. However, it will stop detecting you if you lean too far left or right or if you take a foot off of the board. Slow down before turning or you will fall off and be injured.
NOTE:
- Avoid turning suddenly when riding fast, as this may result in an accident.
- Avoid riding sideways or turning on slopes. The self-balancing sensors may malfunction and may require recalibration.
- Do not step on the center pivot point of the MEGAWHEELS
®
.
- If the board flips over or rotates more than 180 degrees, the motor and riding capability will be disabled. To restore normal functionality, power off the unit and then power it back on. After this, continue to ride as normal.

3.3 RE-CALIBRATION
If your MEGAWHEELS® seems to pull to the left or right during your ride, or the system indicator flashing red light together with beep voice and other situations that the board seems to be unbalanced, you may need to recalibrate its sensors. To calibrate your unit, follow the instructions below.
Step 1- Power your hoverboard off Step 2- Place your MEGAWHEELS
®
horizontally, make the both wheel bases are level to the ground. Step 3- Long press the power button and keep your finger on it, the system indicator light on the hoverboard will be on and flash for 5 times and come out a beep voice. Step 4- Release your finger, the system indicator light will keep on, and then press the power button to power it off. Step 5- Power on the hoverboard again, the balance is adjusted.
If the MEGAWHEELS
®
can't be calibrated correctly, repeat step 1 to 5 or
contact customer support for additional assistance.

4 SAFE RIDING TECHNIQUES
We sincerely hope every user can ride the MEGAWHEELS® safely. Think back to when you first learned to ride a bike, skateboard or even drive a car.
Although the MEGAWHEELS
®
is designed with gyroscopic balancing technology in order to maintain maximum stability, it is still possible to "override" the hoverboard and tip over when riding too fast for the condi­tions.
Following these techniques can help ensure that you have a safe, fun riding experience on the MEGAWHEELS
®
.
NOTE:
- MEGAWHEELS
®
highly recommends wearing appropriate safety gear
before riding your hoverboard.
- When going through doorways, remember that you are only 11 cm taller on the board, don't ride it through.
- Wear flat shoes to maintain flexibility and stability.
- Use your best judgment to keep yourself out of dangerous situations with your scooter.
- Make sure your feet are always on the pedals. Taking your feet off the board while riding is incredibly dangerous.
- Bend your knees when riding on bumpy or uneven pavement to absorb the shock and vibration, which help keep your balance. If you are unsure if you can safely ride on a specific terrain, step off and carry your scooter.
- Ensure the vehicle speed is safe for yourself and others, and be ready to stop at any time.
- When riding near others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions.
Page 14

with local laws and give way to pedestrians.
WARNING: Never ride at high speeds on uneven terrain or slopes. Never perform stunts or turn abruptly without checking your surroundings. Never carry one or more passengers on the board with you. Never carry heavy items while riding. Never ride in the rain, dark, or dimly lit areas. Never continuously spin in place, it will cause dizziness and you could fall and injure yourself. Never use the MEGAWHEELS
®
to do anything that may cause personal injury or property damage. Never ride backwards for long distances or at high speeds. Never step off the board when it is in motion. Never place anything on the rider detection pads except your feet. Doing so may cause the MEGAWHEELS
®
