CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DRIVING RANGE
A lot of factors will affect how far you can go per charge:
• Driving surface: A smooth, flat surface will increase driving distance.
• Weight: More weight means less distance.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Jetson V8 Sport under recommended
temperature, which will increase its longevity and driving distance.
• Maintenance: Timely battery charging and maintenance will increase driving
distance.
• Speed and driving style: Maintaining a moderate speed will increase distance.
Frequent starting and stopping, acceleration, and deceleration will reduce it.
SPEED LIMIT
The top speed of the Jetson V8 Sport is 10 mph. When you approach the maximum
speed, it will try to prevent you from accelerating further. It will automatically tilt back to shift your
weight backward. You may feel that you are being pushed back or that you cannot make it go any
faster. Do not continue leaning or bending forward to try and increase your speed, or you will fall.
WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
The maximum load is 260 lbs, and the minimum load is 45 lbs. Going above the maximum
weight limit can cause injury, and going below the minimum weight limit will disable
control features. If your weight is slightly above 45 lbs. and you find the hoverboard shaking,
please adjust the sensitivity or force from the Ride Jetson app and it should no longer shake.
TERRAIN
The Jetson V8 Sport behaves differently depending on riding terrain and other conditions. When
using it, please keep the following in mind:
• The Jetson V8 Sport is intended for use on smooth, flat surfaces. To prevent loss of traction, al -
ways be careful when riding, and learn to identify and avoid slippery and wet surfaces, loose mate-
rials, slopes, potholes, and other obstacles.
• Stop and step off the Jetson V8 Sport when you come to unsafe surfaces or terrain.
• The wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to stay upright. Slips occur with loss
of traction, potentially causing loss of control and a fall. Abrupt maneuvers and riding
over slippery surfaces, bumps, and loose objects and materials may cause the Jetson V8 Sport to
lose traction.
PROTECTION FUNCTION
If there is a system error or improper operation during usage, the Jetson V8 Sport may give you a
prompt. This will only occur under certain conditions, such as:
• Battery power is too low.
• Surface angle exceeds 20°.
• The angle of the terrain is more than 35° (the motor will shut off after 15 seconds).
