Airwheel A3 is the state-of-the-art means of transportation adopting aerospace attitude control theory, fuzzy software algorithm,
and gyroscope system to maintain balance by leaning forward and backward. Riders can control the vehicle to go forward, accelerate,
decelerate, brake, etc. by leaning forward or backward. Also, turning A3 is achieved by simply turning the handlebar which will cause the
differential of rotational speed on both wheels, e.g. when the handlebar is turned anti-clockwise, the rotational speed on the right wheel will
be faster than that on the left wheel, thus the unit will turn left. In the meantime, the turning-sensing system will be activated (turn light will
flash).
Being green and eco-friendly, Airwheel A3 can be stowed in the trunk of a car, facilitating a low-carbon travel style.

4. Learning Tips
4.1 Before Getting Started

www.airwheel.net
Airwheel Intelligent Pioneer
- 14 -
Learning Airwheel A3 is much easier than learning how to ride a bicycle. Most starters only needs 3 minutes to get a hang of it. You'll
need a learning partner standing in front of Airwheel A3 and holding the handlebar with both hands to help stabilize the handlebar for the
first time.
Turn on power switch, then press A on the remote control. Fold up the kick stand.
Sit on the saddle and put down the paddles at each side. Hold the handlebars and look straight forward.
Keep calm and relaxed and look forward as shown below.
4.2 Learning Tips
Please keep calm and relaxed, it is much easier than learning how to ride a bicycle. Starters
can stand upright and relaxed and rely on your learning partner to hold on to the handlebar.
After getting used to standing on Airwheel A3, you're good to go. Note: The more relaxed
you are, the better balance you'll get.

www.airwheel.net
Airwheel Intelligent Pioneer
Push the handlebar gradually forward to feel the acceleration and stopping of Airwheel A3 and then restore the status quo ante to feel
the acceleration and deceleration. Steer at a slow speed and feel the motion controlled by your center of gravity.
Look back and lean gradually backward to control Airwheel A3 fall back, and then restore the status quo ante to feel the deceleration
and brake. Keep practicing and pay attention to the wall and other obstacles to avoid falling over.
Backward Balance Forward
4.3 Go Forward and Backward
For starters, please steer in a slow and mild manner. Remember that the more relaxed
your body is, the better balance you'll get. Please avoid drastic shakes in the fore-and-
aft direction or an abrupt shift on your center of gravity, which will probably cause slip or
falling over.
