4.1 Preparation
When you want to start your first ride, please try to wear comfortable
casual or a sports outfit, wear flat shoes and in addition you must
always wear safety equipment such as helmet, knee, wrist protection
and any other safety equipment you deem necessary. Place the
Segboard in a spacious place, and ensure that there are no
obstacles around you. Ensure you are complying with the local law.
Get someone to help you when you are initially learning to ride the
hoverboard.
4.2. Steps for Riding
Set it
Segboard on the
ground and turn the power on. It can face
either direction. The green light on the top of the unit will light up. Put
your dominant foot on the platform, next to the wheel. Use your foot
to level the platform and activate the balancing system. The
balancing system will not active until the platform is level.
With one foot on one platform
now
stand up straight. Place your
other foot on the other end of the platform.
Shift your body weight gradually forward to pick up speed. Do not
lunge forward.
Shift your body weight backward to slow down or stop. If you
continue to lean back, you will be able to travel backward
s
.
To turn left, slightly tilt your right foot forward. To turn right, slightly
tilt your left foot forward.
To rotate on the one spot, slightly tilt one foot forward and the other
foot backward
.
When you are ready to get off, slow down, stop and step off
with one foot first, then the other. Turn it off. If you do not turn
it off, it will stay on
for 5 minutes allowing you to step on and
go again without engaging the on/off switch. It will shut off
automatically after 5 minutes.
REMEMBER: Do not lift it off the ground when it is turned on.
IMPORTANT: The top speed is 1
2
km/h depending
on your
weight. When you approach the maximum speed,
it will try
to prevent you from accelerating further. It will tilt
back in
order 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
.
4.3 Terrain and Reminders
It is intended for indoors
and outdoor
use on smooth, flat
surfaces. However, to prevent loss of traction, you must
always be careful when riding and learn to identify and
avoid slippery and wet surfaces, loose materials, slopes,
potholes and other obstacles.
The wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to
stay upright. Slips occur when the wheels lose traction,
potentially causing loss of control and a fall. Abrupt
man
o
euvr
e
s and riding over slippery surfaces, bumps,
and loose objects and materials, may cause
you
to lose
traction.
Driving on rainy and snowy days is strictly forbidden under
our riding guide. Damage caused by water
penetration
caused by misuse will void your warranty.
