OWNER’S MANUAL

ABOUT THE HOVER BOARD

The Sharper Image Hover Board is a two-wheeled self-balancing electric vehicle that uses
dynamic balance principles to move forward, backward and stop. It is easy to operate and
environmentally friendly.

The Hover Board uses a built-in gyroscope and acceleration sensors to control balance
intelligently depending on the center of gravity. It also uses a servo-control system to guide the
motor accurately. When you shift your weight forward or backward, the power plant will control
forward or backward movement to keep the Hover Board balanced. To turn, slow down and
lean your body to the left or right.

LED Display Board

The LED Display Board is located in the middle of the Hover Board.

• Green LED light = battery fully charged.

• Red LED light = power is down to 20% or less.

NOTE: When the LED light becomes red, please stop riding and recharge the battery.

LED Running Lights

• When the operator triggers the pedal switches, the LED Running Lights will illuminate.

RANGE

• The Hover Board is designed to travel up to 12 miles on a full charge.

• A smooth, flat surface will increase the range.

• Riding and storing the Hover Board at recommended temperatures will increase the range.

• Reasonable battery charging and maintenance will increase the range.

• Maintaining a moderate speed will increase range.

• Frequent starts, stops, acceleration and deceleration will decrease the range.

• Continued driving under low power will negatively aect battery life.

NOTE: Other factors may aect the Hover Board’s range, including weight of the operator, the
temperature and surface conditions.

SPEED

• Your Hover Board maximum speed is approximately 6-10 m.p.h.

• When the speed approaches the maximum, a beeping alarm will sound and the Hover Board
will tilt itself up automatically to slow down.

GETTING STARTED

• Always check the battery level before operating the Hover Board.

• Charge the Hover Board fully prior to first use. Normal charging time is approximately 130 minutes
for a full charge, 90 minutes for 80% charge.

• The best charging temperature is between 32°F and 100°F.

• Dress in casual clothes and flat shoes.

• Start slow and avoid driving in narrow or crowded places at first.

• Practice in an open area until you can get on and o the vehicle, and move it forward, backward,
left, right and stop.
