• If the Hover-1 Rider is not to be used for an extended period of
time, you may need to recharge the battery every 2 months to
maintain the battery life.
• Ensure that the screws on the front and back tires are locked firmly
before each ride.
• Check to ensure the tires are not worn.
• Check to ensure all connections are maintained on the Hover-1
Rider.
• Ensure the brake cables are well lubricated. It is suggested you
lubricate brakes every 6 months.
• Ensure throttle moves smoothly. You should be able to turn it
forward and back,
• Make sure there are no frayed cables, loose connections, missing
fasteners or axle/lug nuts.
CHECKING BRAKES
A cable connects the brake lever to your brakes. The lever causes
the brake pads to apply pressure to the rotors on your wheels.
Pull the lever to ensure the brake moves freely and stops the Hover-1
Rider. If the lever can be pulled flat to the handlebar, the brake is
too loose.
When brakes are not applied, brake pads should be 1 - 2mm from
the rotor. If brake pads are too close to the rotor, the brakes are too
tight. The brake pads should be in line with the rotor surface.
Adjust your brake lever to improve brake sensitivity. Brakes will
wear down over time. If after you have adjusted brake sensitivity,
you feel that the brakes are not performing well, you may need
to have brake pads or rotors replaced.
The first rule in safe riding is to use common sense. A Hover-1 Rider is
vulnerable; it cannot protect you in a crash, against impact, or loss
of control the way driving a car can. A Hover-1 Rider can tip over
sideways or pitch you over the front wheel. It moves faster than a
typical scooter. It does not have bumpers or airbags as a car does.
This section is a guide of safe riding practices. Make sure you are
using your Hover-1 Rider properly.
