HOW TO GET ON
Once you have charged the battery:

Power On:

Set the Hovertrax Brights on the ground and turn the power on and the indicator lights

on the top of the unit will light-up. The battery/power mode indicator will show either one green or
one green and one orange light to indicate mode. Do

NOT

proceed to step two until all lights on the

indicator light up.

First Foot:

While standing behind the Hovertrax Brights, put one foot on a foot platform, closer to the

wheel than to the center. Use that foot to activate the foot platform by bringing that foot platform to
a balanced, level position.

Confirm Activation:

Confirm the first foot platform is activated. Move your foot back and forth and

feel the response from the product. Play with this single foot platform until you are comfortable
keeping the foot platform motion minimal.

Step Up:

With the first foot platform stable and still, step up on the second foot platform with your

second foot. Do this away from furniture and other large objects. Don’t use a fixed object to brace
or lift yourself – Keep your weight evenly distributed between the two foot platforms. If you are
uncomfortable; step back off and repeat from step 2. Try to stand on the Hovertrax Brights
without moving.

HOW TO RIDE:

Stand in Place:

Hovertrax Brights is unique among two-wheeled items in that the active stabilization

it provides allows you to stand in place. A scooter or bicycle may balance more easily when it moves,
but a Hovertrax Brights can balance even while stationary.

Move Forward:

To move forward, press down gradually with your feet on the fronts of both foot

platforms. Do not lunge forward or lean excessively, as you may lose your balance.

Slow Down:

To slow down or stop, apply pressure to the rear edges of the foot platforms by pushing

down with your heels. Leaning back somewhat may be useful but remember your feet are giving
the instructions! If you continue pushing the rear edges with your heels, you will be able to travel
backwards.

Turn:

To turn left, slightly push your right foot down on the front of the right foot platform; to turn

right, push down on the front of the left foot platform. This idea is to make one wheel turn a little bit
faster than the other wheel.

Rotate in Place:

To rotate in place, push down on the front of one foot platform while pushing down

with equal force on the rear of the other foot platform.

Riding Tip:

Before your very

first ride, expect to spend up
to ten minutes in this stage
of learning how to stand
comfortably on the
Hovertrax Brights.

Self-balancing Function:

If product is not level when
powered on it will slowly rotate
until it is level. Always wait to
mount until it has completely
stopped self-leveling and all
lights on the battery/power
mode indicator are lit.

Riding Tip:

Your practice on

Hovertrax Brights should be
to keep the platform in place
and get a feel for the motions
that are generated from small
changes in your fore/aft
foot pressure.

HOVERTRAX SPEED CONTROL

Not too fast:

The recommended top speed of the Hovertrax Brights is approximately eight (8) km/h (5 mph).

Speed may be affected by rider weight, surface conditions, battery charge, etc. The Hovertrax Brights is
capable of exceeding the normal operating speed for short periods, which is designed to permit the wheels
to react and “re-balance” the product by helping level itself. 11.2 km/h (7 mph) max speed. Do not attempt to
“force” the Hovertrax into continuous operation at “re-balance” speeds, as control will be more difficult and
falls more likely.

HOW TO GET OFF:

Slow down and stop

Step to the back

Power down

Riding Tip:

Hovertrax Brights is

best ridden at speeds similar to
a brisk walk, not faster.

NOTE: If Hovertrax Brights is left on for more than 5 minutes, it will automatically turn off and beep.
