6.2.3. OPERATING LIMITS
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the operating limits of the machine. These limits are set to maximize rider
safety while reducing the risk of damage to the machine.
The machine will perform better when you observe these limits.
DYNAMIC WEIGHT LIMITS
To keep the machine and rider in balance, the machine must always have enough power to be able to turn its Wheels
forward and backward.
Exceeding the weight limits, especially when combined with other variables that require more power, will increase your risk
of falling or damaging themachine.
The variables that require more energy and powere are:
Higher load (weight of rider)
Steeper slopes
Bumpier surface conditions
Higher Speeds
Abrupt maneuvres
The machine monitors the amount of power being used and will activate safety alerts when it senses excessive power
demands. It is important that you learn to anticipate and recognize when the machine is reaching the limits of performance.
Learn to recognize and respond to Safety Alerts; review
“Speed Limiter”, “Stick Shake Warning” and
“Safety Shutdown”
MINIMAL WEIGHT LIMITS
The rider’s weight must not be less than indicated in paragraph 2.2
It is important to comply with this weight limit as the rider may not be able to ride safely because he/she cannot shift his/her
weight far enough back (behind the centerline of the Wheels) to safely slow down and stop. This is especially true when
riding downhill. Also, riders below the minimum weight limit might fail to properly interact with the self-balancing system.
In the same way exceeding maximum weight limits could jeopardize the dynamic stability and cause the machine to
accelerate forward involuntarily, risking injury and damage.
STRUCTURAL WEIGHT LIMITS
Exceeding the maximum weight limit increases the risk of damage to the machine. Heavier payloads place greater stress
on the machine. It is important not to exceed the structural weight limit placing or attaching certain unforeseen accessories
to the machine.
Several factors affect the loads transmitted to the machine:
Skill level of the rider.
Payload (weight of the rider and all cargo).
Surface condition (obstacle height, etc.).
Exceeding the rider or cargo weight limits, especially when riding on uneven terrain, could damage the machine.
