RECOMMENDATIONS
Wear appropriate protective equip-•

Listening to music or manage phone •
and other devices while driving
means less attention and increased
risk of accidents.
Check out local regulations about •
riding MonoWheel™ before use.
Do not ride in rain, puddles or mud. •
Also avoid sand or slippery surfaces
that can cause you to lose your balance.
MonoWheels™ batteries can not •
handle cold and should not be used
or stored so that the battery temperature can be colder than 10 degrees.
Make sure to have fully charged bat-•
tery when you ride. For prolonged
storage, the battery should be fully
charged.
Never run completely out of bat-•
teryy. As soon as the lamp turns
red you have to stop immediately
and not restart until charging. The
batteries can be permanently damaged.
Pay attention that the engine power •
decreases as the battery discharges
and therefore, greater care should
be taken when riding with weak bat-

teries. Get to know the limitations of
your weight and battery strength
under controlled conditions.
Ride on a closed , at open space un-•
til you have full control and always
keep the speed below 12 km/h
Keep in mind that MonoWheel™ is •
silent when you ride among other
people and adapt therefore distance. Follow all local trac laws
and ride with care.
Use the enclosed safety strap to at-•
tach the handle and your belt to
prevent MonoWheel™ to go further
when control is lost .
Do not lift MonoWheel™ above •
ground without turning it o rst.
Turn o and then on again when the
wheel get contact with the ground
again.
If the power light is ashing red •
MonoWheel™ should not be used.
Turn o and on to regain the green
light, always with the wheel contact
with the ground.
SAFETY STRAP
Start by attaching to the handle and adjust the length so that it reaches 1 dm
above the waist when standing on the
pedals. You then attach the other end of
the strap to the waist belt. You can keep
the belt in your hand, but this is more difcult as a beginner. You should use the
strap until you are absolutely sure not
to lose control. Without the belt you risk
the safety of others.
LEARNING TO RIDE
Learning to ride takes most people less
than 30 minutes if you have the help of
another person for support. To accelerate the learning process it is recommended to:
Start practicing on a large open plan •
clean surface , such as a parking lot,
p- garage or gym .
Get help from a friend who sup-•
port you before you got balance by
walking by your side and hold you.
This step is especially important the
rst 20 minutes. The friend should
also have read the manual.
Place MonoWheel™ on the ground (
there is no front / rear ) and turn on the
ON button and fold out both foot pedals. Check that the power light is green.
It takes two seconds before MonoWheel™ gives stability and can be used.
Place your feet in the middle on each
foot pedal, be straight in the body and
squeeze lightly to the sides (when you
learn to ride, you will not stand so that
your legs are in contact with the chassi). Be sure to place both feet equally
on each side . Take support against a
cfriends shoulders and start to feel the
balance. Try to stand straight but relaxed and look a bit forward.
At rst, your muscles will try to compensate and counteract MonoWheels
movements. This results in MonoWheel™
shakes and vibrates laterally .
Lean forward slowly as a ski jumper (ie
with the whole body, not just your upper body) until you achieve the walking
speed, all the time with your arm around
a friend who keeps the balance . Go
straight and repeat back and forth until
you feel safe and stable. Higher speed
gives better balance. Avoid sudden and
