It is important that you follow all safety warnings that appear throughout your Swagway
Hands-Free smart board manuals and that you use good judgment when you ride your
Swagway. If you have questions, or do not have the Swagway Manual or Safety Video, contact
Swagway before you attempt to use your Swagway board.
The Swagway is a self-balancing, personal transporter that uses balancing technology.
Note: Balancing technology cannot prevent injury if you do not ride the Swagway safely. Please review the below safety warnings.
• Always wear shoes, a helmet, and appropriate safety gear such as knee and elbow pads when riding. Use an approved bicycle or
skateboard helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and provides protection for the Front, back and sides of your head.
• Do not ride without proper training, please review manual and how to videos before use.
• Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces that could result in a loss of balance or traction and cause a fall.
• Do not ride at high speeds, on uneven terrain, or on slopes. Do not perform stunts or turn abruptly.
• Never place anything on the rider detection pads except your feet. Doing so could interfere with the Rider Detection system and
may allow the Swagway to travel on its own, risking running into a person or property and causing injury or damage.
• Never step off of the Swagway when it is in motion. If you step off of the Swagway while in motion, you risk injury to yourself,
others, and damage to the Swagway.
• Although the Swagway is designed to be as stable as possible for a design that utilizes two self-balancing wheels, it is possible
to “override” the Swagway and tip over when riding too fast for the conditions. Always be aware of the riding surface and environ-
mental conditions while riding. Be alert. Scan both far ahead and in front of the Wheels—your eyes are your best tool for safely
avoiding obstacles and slippery surfaces.
• Do not carry one or more passengers.
• Do not ride your Swagway after consumption of alcohol, drugs, or while intoxicated. You must comply with local laws and give
way to pedestrians.
• All riders must be over 4’ tall and must weigh more than 44 lbs. The maximum weights limit 220 lbs.

4.2 Range per charge
The range per charge is related to many factors.for example:
• Topography: On smooth even road, the range per charge will increase. If you are on rough
terrain or on a slope, it will decrease.
• Weight: The weight of the operator will influence the driving distance.
• Temperature: If the Swagway gets too hot or too cold, it will decrease the driving distance.
• Maintenance: If the Swagway is charged properly and the battery is kept in good condition, the
driving distance will increase. Improper charging and maintenance will decrease the driving distance.
• Speed and driving style: keep a moderate, consistent speed to increase the driving distance.
Frequently starts, stops, acceleration, and deceleration will reduce the driving distance.
4.3 Max. Speed
• The maximum speed of the Swagway is 10 mph (16 km/h).
• When the operator exceeds the maximum speed, the Swagway will sound an alarm.
• At recommended speeds, the electric Swagway will balance itself well. When the speed is faster
than the recommended speed, you will lose balance and fall off.
4.4 Max. Incline
• Do not operate on hills or slopes of more than 30° incline.
• At recommended inclines, the electric Swagway will balance itself well. When the incline is steeper than
recommended, you will lose control or fall off.
