Working Principles
The Jetson Glyro uses gyroscope and acceleration sensors to control balance intelligently
depending on a center of gravity. The Jetson Glyro also uses servo-control systems to drive the
motor accurately. It is like a human body, when you stand on the Jetson Glyro, move your body
forward or backward and the power plant will control the wheels forward or backward to keep
balance. When you turn you must slow down and move your body left or right. Built-in inertia
dynamic stabilization systems maintain the direction of forwards and backwards, however, it
cannot guarantee the stability of left and right. When you ride the Jetson Glyro, please shift
your weight in order to overcome the centrifugal force and improve the security whilst turning.
Diagram for Reference:
Mat Sensor
There are four sensors under the mat, when the user steps on the Jetson Glyro, it will
automatically adjust to the balance mode. Driving the Jetson Glyro, you must ensure that you
are stepping on the mats. Please don‘t step outside the outlined mats. Please do not put items
on the mats, which will make Jetson Glyro unable to switch off, and increase the probability of
collision to cause the injury of people or damage to Jetson Glyro.
Battery Level Indicator
An LED indicator is used to indicate battery level. When the light is green, it means that has
enough power. When the light turns red, you should charge it as soon as possible. Please check
power level before usage to ensure there is enough power for the return trip. You may want to
charge it every time after use. When power level is lower than 10%, the LED indicator will flicker
and the buzzer will sound off. Sustained range will decrease during winter, because the battery
performance decreases quickly in cold conditions. In 5°F, for example, battery performance is
only about half in comparison to that in room temperature.
WARNING: It will notify you when the battery charge is dangerously low by slowing down and
shaking the wheels when you are riding it. If these warnings occur, immediately slow down and
safely step off. Turn the unit off. Do not attempt to ride again until the battery is recharged.
Remote control Function
To control your new Jetson Glyro with your remote control you must first make sure that your
Glyro is powered ON. Point your remote at the Jetson Glyro and press the button firmly.
Each button has a different function:
• Lock - Locks the device from any wheel movement.
• Unlock - Unlocks the device for transport
• Mode - Adjusts the speed sensitivity of your Jetson Glyro
device. There are two settings, Beginner and Advanced.
You can also change the sensitivity of your Glyro by
pressing the power button twice when turning it on.
(Each beep signals a change in sensitivity.)
Charging the Battery
Your package comes with a built-in, rechargeable lithium battery pack. For the first time, you
must fully charge the battery with the included UL-certified charger. Be sure to charge the
battery in a clean, dry location.
1. Plug one end of the power cord into it. Plug the other end into a grounded AC outlet.
The red charging light on the charger unit will turn on.
2. The charger may take up to 2 hours to complete its charge. The red light on the charger will
turn green once it is finished.
Recharge the Jetson Glyro after each use.
Before riding
When you want to start your first ride, please try to wear a comfortable casual or sports outfit
and wear fat shoes. Please use in a spacious place, and ensure that there are no any
significant obstacles in the way.
How to use your Jetson Glyro
For your safety, it is recommended to wear protective gear such as a helmet, elbow pads,
knee pads, etc, when operating the Jetson Glyro. The power button is located next to the
charging port on the Jetson Glyro. Press it until you hear the Jetson Glyro beep to turn it on or
off. When riding the Jetson Glyro wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing and athletic
shoes with a closed toe. Clothing should not be so loose that a garment may be caught on
a passing object or in the wheels; this could result in loss of control and personal injury. When
standing on the Jetson Glyro, keep feet shoulder width apart. Do not stand on the center
portion of the Jetson Glyro. Keep a relaxed, upright posture with your knees slightly bent. The
range of the Jetson Glyro is dependent upon the way you use it. The battery will run out
quicker if you ride at higher speeds and/or up or down an incline.
Getting on and off the Jetson Glyro
The Jetson Glyro works in both directions, there is no correct front or back of the unit.
IMPORTANT: Be careful getting on and off the Jetson Glyro and use stable objects for
assistance when learning to get on and off. Always step forward when getting on the Jetson
Glyro and step backward when getting off the Jetson Glyro. Getting on or off the Jetson Glyro
in any other manner may result in a fall and personal injury.
Steps to riding the Jetson Glyro
• 1 - Set the Jetson Glyro on flat ground and turn the power on by opening the charger port
of the Jetson Glyro and press the power button. The Jetson Glyro can face in either direction.
The green light on top of the unit will light up.
If user stands on the Jetson Glyro two platform when it is not at a
level state The buzzer will alarm and warning indicator will light up.
At that time the system cannot enter self-balancing status and
users are forbidden to operate the Jetson Glyro.
• 2 - Put one foot on the mat that will trigger the pedal switch to run indicator light. After the
system enters the self-balancing mode, put the other foot on the pad.
• 3 - After standing up successfully, keep the balance of the center of gravity to maintain the
Jetson Glyro in a stationary state.
• 4 - Shift your body weight gradually forward to pick up speed. Do not lunge forward.
• 5 - Moving Forward: Lean forward on both platforms and/or point your toes downward to
Instruct the Jetson Glyro to move forward.
• 6 - Moving Backward: Lean backward on both platforms and/or rock your heels backward
to instruct the Jetson Glyro to move backward.
• 7 - Turning Right: Point your left toes downward, rotating the platform forward, to instruct the
Jetson Glyro to turn right.
• 8 - Turning Left: Point your right toes downward, rotating the platform forward, to instruct the
Jetson Glyro to turn left.
• 9 - To rotate, slightly tilt one foot forward and the other foot backward.
• 10 - When you are ready to get off, slow own, stop and step off with one foot first behind the
unit, and then step down with the other. Turn it off. If your 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.
Driving Range
There are a lot of factors, which will affect drive distance:
• Land form: A smooth, flat surface will increase the driving distance.
• Weight: The weight of the driver can affect driving distance.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Jetson Glyro under recommended
temperature, which will increase driving distance.
• Maintenance: reasonable battery charging and maintenance will increase the
distance. Speed and driving style: maintain a moderate speed will Increase distance, on
the contrary, frequent start/stop, acceleration and deceleration will reduce the distance.
Speed limit
The top speed is 8mph. 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.
Weight limit
The maximum load is 265lbs. Going above the maximum weight limit can cause injury.
• Maximum Load: 265 lbs.
• Minimum Load: 45 lbs.
Terrain and reminders
1. It is intended for indoors or use on smooth, fat 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.
2. Stop and step off it over unsafe surfaces or terrain.
3. Their wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to stay upright. Slips occur when
loses traction, potentially causing loss of control and a fall. Abrupt maneuvers and riding
over slippery surfaces, bumps, and loose objects and materials, may cause it to lose
traction.
