Before Riding
Please try to wear a comfortable casual or sports outfit when you go for a ride, and wear
closed-toe, flat shoes. Please use the Jetson V5 in a spacious place, and ensure that there
are no any significant obstacles in the way. Please ensure the charger is unplugged from the
Jetson V5 before riding, or it may cause danger.
How to Use Your Jetson V5
For your safety, it is recommended to wear protective gear such as a helmet, elbow pads,
and knee pads when operating the Jetson V5. The power button is located next to the
charging port on the Jetson V5 on the back of the device. Press it until you hear the Jetson
V5 beep to turn it on or off. Clothing should not be so loose that a garment may be caught
on a passing object or in the wheels; this could result in loss of control and personal injury.
When standing on the Jetson V5, keep you feet shoulder-width apart. Do not stand on the
center portion of the Jetson V5. Keep a relaxed, upright posture, with your knees slightly bent.
The range of the Jetson V5 is dependent upon the way you use it. The battery will run out
quicker if you ride at higher speeds and/or up or down an incline.
Getting On and Off the Jetson V5
The Jetson V5 works in both directions, there is no correct front or back of the unit.
IMPORTANT: Be careful getting on and off the Jetson V5 and use stable objects for assistance
when learning to get on and off. Always step forward when getting on the Jetson V5 and step
backward when getting off the Jetson V5. Getting on or off the Jetson V5 in any other
manner may result in a fall and personal injury.
Steps to Riding the Jetson V5
• 1 - Set the Jetson V5 on flat ground and turn the power on. The green light on top of the unit
will light up. The Jetson V5 can face in either direction.
If the user stands on the Jetson V5 when it is not at a level state, the
buzzer will alarm and the warning indicator will light up. At that
time, the system cannot enter self-balancing status and users are
forbidden to operate the Jetson V5.
• 2 - Put one foot on the mat. That will trigger the pedal switch, which will turn on the indicator
light. After the system enters self-balancing mode, put your other foot on the pad. If the
system does not enter self-balancing mode, do not place your other foot on the pad.
• 3 - After standing up successfully, stand upright and maintain your balance to keep the
Jetson V5 stationary.
• 4 - Shift your body weight gradually to pick up speed. Do not lunge forward or backward.
NOTE: Slight movements will pick up speed, be cautious as you become accustomed to the
Jetson V5’s controls.
