Riding Tip:
Your practice on
Hovertrax should be to keep
the platform in place and get
a feel for the motions that are
generated from small changes in
your fore/aft foot pressure.
HOW TO OPERATE
HOW TO RIDE:
5.
Stand in Place:
Hovertrax is unique among two-wheeled items in that the active stabilization it provides allows
you to stand in place. A scooter or bicycle may balance more easily when it moves, but a Hovertrax can balance
even while stationary.
6.
Move Forward:
To move forward, press down gradually with your feet on the fronts of both foot platforms. Do not
lunge forward or lean excessively, as you may lose your balance.
7.
Slow Down:
To slow down or stop, apply pressure to the rear edges of the foot platforms by pushing down with
your heels. Leaning back somewhat may be useful but remember your feet are giving the instructions! If you
continue pushing the rear edges with your heels, you will be able to travel backwards.
8.
Turn:
To turn right, slightly push your right foot down on the front of the right foot platform; to turn left, push down
on the front of the left foot platform. This idea is to make one wheel turn a little bit faster than the other wheel.
9.
Rotate in Place:
To rotate in place, push down on the front of one foot platform while pushing down with equal
force on the rear of the other foot platform.
HOVERTRAX SPEED CONTROL
10.
Not too fast:
The recommended top speed of the Hovertrax is approximately six miles per hour (9 km/hr). Speed
may be affected by rider weight, surface conditions, battery charge, etc. The Hovertrax has a “limiter” feature
which may engage to warn against further acceleration beyond recommended levels. This safety feature causes
the front edge of the foot platforms to "push back" against the rider's feet to caution about excessive speed. Do not
attempt to override this safety feature by continuing acceleration because risks of falling may greatly increase.
HOW TO GET OFF:
11.
Slow down and stop
12.
Step to the back
13.
Power down
PRODUCT WARNING SIGNALS
The Hovertrax has several built in protection features, which include:
•
Level alert:
if the product is not level enough for the balancing feature to engage, a level indicator light will turn red
and the product will not be operable until properly level.
•
Low or charging battery:
The battery indicator light will indicate insufficient charge for operation by turning red.
•
Excessive angle shutoff:
At excessively steep foot platform angles, the unit will stop powered operation.
RIDING TIPS
• Learn to ride the Hovertrax in a large, safe area free from all forms of interference.
• Keep your posture upright, but relaxed. Align your body over the Hovertrax and use a wide stance with your feet close
to the wheels.
• Be alert. Scan both far ahead and in front of you - your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and
slippery surfaces.
• Hold your arms comfortably at your side.
• Start at a slow and comfortable pace. Never aggressively accelerate or lunge forward.
• Be careful and considerate of others.
• Always ride under control at a speed that is safe for you and those around you.
• Always be prepared to stop.
• Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way.
• Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed
when passing. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right
and slow down.
