1.Product Overview                                                                                                                   

 

1.1 General Information 

The  original  IO  HAWK  is  an  Intelligent  Personal  Mobility  Device.  This 

device  is  an  intuitive,  technologically  advanced  solution  that  provides 

the user personal transportation based on dynamic balancing principles 

calculating the user’s center of gravity using gyroscope and acceleration 

sensors. Using the latest technology and production processes, each IO 

HAWK  undergoes  strict  testing  for  quality  and  durability.  With  its 

lightweight,  portable  design,  ease  of  use,  range,  and  low  carbon 

footprint, the IO HAWK is the Ultimate Last Mile Solution.   

 

1.2 What You Need To Know   

Before  you  first  experience  your  IO  HAWK,  please  read  the  USER 

MANUAL thoroughly and learn the basics to ensure your safety and the 

safety  of  others.  It  is  highly  recommended  that  your  initial  IO  HAWK 

experience  be  with  a  spotter  who  can  assist  you  in  centering  your 

balance. Once you keep your center of gravity even, you will be able to 

stand  on  the  IO  HAWK  without  moving,  similar  to  standing  on  the 

ground.  The  most  important  thing  to  do  is  stay  relaxed  and  confident. 

The  IO  HAWK  is  very  intuitive  and  senses  the  slightest  motion,  so 

finding  your  center  of  balance  is  key.  Step  on  quickly,  confidently,  and 

evenly,  but  remember  to  keep  your  body  quiet.  Please  refrain  from 

flaying your arms, leaning too far forward and/or backwards, or stepping 

on  your IO HAWK unevenly,  as this  will cause  you to lose control and 

increase  your probability of injury. Please follow the detailed directions 

outlined in the USER MANUAL in Section 3 under Operating Principles.   

 

1.3 WARNING 

Failure  to  follow  the  basic  instructions  and  safety  precautions 

listed in the USER MANUAL, can lead to damage to your IO HAWK, 

other property damage, serious bodily injury, and even death.
