While riding your Flex, if there is a system error or improper operation
performed, the Flex will prompt the user in a variety
of ways.
You will notice the Running Indicator Light will turn RED and you will
hear a beep sound alerting you to take precaution and cease
operation, which may make the device stop suddenly.
The following are common occurrences where you will hear the
Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate
action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure or
errors.
• Unsafe riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.)
• When you step on the Flex, if the platform is tilted more than 10
degrees forward or backward.
• Battery voltage is too low.
• The Flex is still charging.
• During operation, the platform self initiates to tilt due to excess
speed.
• Overheating, or motor temperature is too high.
• The Flex has been rocking back and forth for over 30 seconds.
• If the system enters protection mode, the alarm indicator will light
up and the board will vibrate. This typically occurs when the battery
is about to run out of power.
• If the platform is tilted forward or backward more than 10 degrees,
your Flex will power off and stop suddenly, possibly causing the rider
to lose balance or fall off.
• If any or both tires are blocked, the Flex will stop after 2
seconds.
• When the battery level has depleted below protection mode, the
Flex engine will power off and stop after 15 seconds.
• While sustaining a high discharge current during use (such as
driving up a steep slope for a long period of time), the Flex engine
will power off and stop after 15 seconds.
CHARGING THE FLEX
• Ensure that the charging port is clean and dry.
• Make sure that there is no dust, debris or dirt inside the port.
• Plug the charger into a grounded wall outlet. The charging
indicator light ON THE CHARGER will be green.
• Connect the cable with the power supply (100V ~ 240V; 50/60 Hz).
• Align and connect the 3-pin charging cable into the charging
port of the Flex. DO NOT FORCE THE CHARGER INTO THE CHARGE
PORT, AS THIS MAY CAUSE THE PRONGS TO BREAK OFF OR
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE CHARGE PORT.
• Once attached to the board, the charging indicator light ON THE
CHARGER should change to RED, indicating that your device is now
being charged.
• When the RED indicator light on your charger turns to GREEN, then
your Flex is fully charged.
• A full charge may take up to 6 hours. While charging, you will see
a yellow flashing light on the scooter, which also indicates charging.
Do not charge for more than 7.5 hours.
•After fully charging your Flex, unplug the charger from your Flex
and from the power outlet.
