4 Riding Guide
4.1 Preparation
When you want to start your first ride, please try to wear comfortable casual or sports
outfit, wear flat shoes and in additional we strongly suggest you to wear protection equip-
ment such as helmet and knee protection. Please bring it to a more spacious place, and
ensure that there is no any significant obstacles.
4.2 Steps to Riding
1. Set it 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 sys-
tem will not active until the platform is level.
2. With one foot on one platform stand up straight. Place your other foot on the other end
of the platform.
3. Shift your body weight gradually forward to pick up speed. Do not lunge forward.
4. Shift your body weight backward to slow down or stop. If you continue to lean back, you
will be able to travel backward.
5. To turn left, slightly tilt your right foot forward. To turn right, slightly tilt your left foot
forward.
6. To rotate on the one spot, slightly tilt one foot forward and the other foot backward.
7. 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. Do not turn on it in mid-air.
IMPORTANT: The top speed is 15 km/h. 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 back-
ward. 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
1. It is intended for indoors or 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.
2. Their wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to stay upright. Slips occur when lo-
ses 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.
3. Driving on rainy and snowy day is strictly forbidden.
