Chapter 4 Range and speed
4.1. Range per charge
The range per charge is related to many factors, for example:
-
Topography: On even roads the range per charge will be increased, on uneven terrain, it will be decreased.
-
Weight: The weight of the operator can influence the driving distance.
-
Temperature: Extreme temperature will decrease the driving distance.
-
Maintenance: If the hoverboard is charged properly and the battery is kept in good condition, this will
maximize the driving distance.
-
Speed and driving style: Keeping a steady speed will increase the driving distance, on the contrary, frequent
start, stop, acceleration, deceleration will reduce the distance.
4.2. Max. Speed
-
The maximum speed of the hoverboard is rated at 14km/h but depends on the charging condition of the
battery, the condition/angle of the surface, wind direction, and the driver's weight. If the battery is fully
charged, the surface is very level or even angled downward, there is a tailwind, and the driver is not very
heavy, the maximum speed may exceed 15km/h.
-
Approaching its maximum speed, the hoverboard emits a warning signal, and speed should be reduced. We
