Chapter I Introduction of Esway
The working principle of the two wheeled Scooter is based on the basic principle called
"dynamic stability" which is the automatic balance ability of the vehicle itself. After judging
body posture position with a built-in precision solid gyroscope, the vehicles electronic brain
works out proper instructions through a sophisticated and high-speed central
microprocessor, electric scooter will drive the motor to balance the vehicle.
As a new transporter, Esway is difficult to classify in the traditional way, some people
think that Esway should be a kind of double-wheeled Unicycle, while other people think it
should be classed as a power stand-up Scooter, with its uniaxial double design which is
different from the traditional biaxial double scooter, for official road regulations, this
transporter is called Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Device (EPAMD)
The vehicle is equipped with dual wheels; its width is as narrow as a normal adult
shoulder's width. It is 46.5KG (Li-ion battery) or 55KG (lead acid battery) operated. It is
not necessary to have a brake or throttle during driving. When the driver leans his body
forward, Esway will run forward, when the body is upright, it will stop. It uses the dynamic
balance principle, as the body moves to change the center of gravity so as to keep balance.
Just as the human body stands and leans forwards it can lose balance, but the body's natural
instinct will maintain balance, the dynamic stability replicates this. Esway uses the wheels
to replace the function of the feet, reproducing the high precision balance action of a human,
it is also cheap and convenient to use. The energy comes from two repeat charging BTM
batteries which are free from maintenance. If sufficient power is supplied to your battery,
the full charge capacity will last continuous for 5 hours driving, the driving range depends
on the way you drive and ground conditions, driving on grass and slopes will consume more
driving power.

1. Standing on Esway
After switching on, hold the handlebar with left hand, meanwhile step on pedal with right
foot (refer to picture 14); or hold the handlebar with right hand, meanwhile step on pedal
with left foot. The sequence is the left hand - right foot - left foot - right hand or right hand
- left foot - right foot - left hand. By this time you will have stood on the balance scooter.
Stand upright without any movement, just relax and keep your body balance, then Esway
will stay stably (refer to picture 15).
Picture 14 Picture 15
2. Driving straight forward
Lean your body forward slowly using the center of gravity, Esway will move forward
(refer to picture 16). The driving speed is controlled by the leaning angle of your body. Lean
forward more, Esway will go faster and vice versa. For a stable driving, we suggest you lean
slowly forward little by little. It is very dangerous if lean forward suddenly, since it likes a
sudden acceleration when driving a car.
Picture 16
11 11
3. Braking, Driving Backward
Driving backward is not recommended for the driver's safety, because it is hard for you
to see behind when driving. Turning radius of Esway is zero, which you can easily achieve
in a continuous spin around 360 ° at one spot. When you drive forward in a straight line
and you want to slow down or stop, you can just lean backward or squat down (the center
of gravity backward). Lean slowly or smoothly backward is helpful for slowing down and
stopping safely (refer to picture 17).
Picture 17
Tip: Driving forward in a straight line you just simply push the handle forward, then
backward to slow down or stop.
4. Turning in Original Place, Turn Around and Rotate 360°
It is easy to turn the Esway when driving. Keep the turning pipe/handle bar left-forward
or right-forward to the end, at the same time keep your body correspondingly left-forwarded
or right-forwarded as the trend of Esway (refer to picture 18 and 19).Thus you can easily
achieve various turns. When the Esway faces the right position, you just need return the pipe
to the original position and stand straight Esway will stop.

Picture 18 Picture 19
5. Turning during Driving
Esway's turning range is calculated automatically according to the driving speed, the
speed is faster, the turn range will be less to ensure safety of the driver, and it is stopped by
the turning pipe and body's corporation. To turn left, the turning pipe should be swung
smoothly to the left at the same time as your body leans left. The angle of Esway's turn is
decided by the swinging angle of the turning pipe and the leaning of your body.
Tip: the actual turning is finished by the above combination of actions, driving Esway likes
a combination of riding horses and skiing, or likes Michael Jackson's dancing. Esway is also
called a thinking car, which means the driver can drive Esway according to his thoughts.
6. Upslope and downslope
The max climbing degree of Esway is 25°, it is also depend on the driver's actual skill.
Before climbing up slope, you should increase the speed in advance, keeping two wheels
parallel and keeping your body forward slightly. When getting down slope, you should also
remain two wheels parallel and keeping your body backward slightly to maintain the center
of your body gravity by holding the handle.
Picture 20 Picture 21
7. Driving in Bad Weather
Esway Off-road scooter is not waterproof, please do not drive Esway in rainy day. It is easy
to damage the motherboard and the motor if water gets into the electrics. Esway Off-road
scooter can be driven in the snow (Depend on your personal driving skills).
Esway Off-road scooter does not have night lights, so please do not drive Esway in the
darkness. Chapter VI Charging
When you find the orange light and red indicator are continuously on, it shows the
batteries need to be charged. Firstly, turn off the power switch and use the specialized 36V
13 13
battery charger. Insert the plug into Esway's charge jack. Then turn on the power. When
charger is connected, the Red light will glow continuously, showing Esway is in charge
mode (refer to picture22).
The charger has two light, Red light means charging mode, Green light means fully
charged, please pull out the charger AC inlet in soon. The input voltage of charger is 110-
240V, output voltage is 38-43V, AC electric current is 1.5-2A. The fully charging normally
takes 8-10 hours. When fully charging finished, the Green light will be on continuously, and
the charging electric current will decrease output current. During charging, the charger
becomes warmer and warmer, so please keep in suitable place.

3. Replacing Fuse
The fuse of Esway is 50A car type, the fuse may be burned when overload or hit sharply.
When you find there is no reaction, and the indicator is off after switching on, check the
fuse if it burnt out, then you need to replace one. Open the fuse cover at the back of body
with screwdriver, take out the burnt fuse and replace with a new one.
4. Fastening the Nut of Tire
Pay attention to the big nut on the wheel, please do regularly checking; if it is loose, you
must stop the driving and tighten it with a 21mm spanner by approximate 108Nm torque.
5. Maintenance of Tire
The normal air pressure is the basic guarantee your safe driving. The standard tire pressure
is 80kpa = 0.8bar = 0.8 kg, which is we recommend. It is necessary to check the tire pressure
regularly, under inflation and over inflation will cause tire unequally wear and tear,
influences control and comfort, and also shorten the life of tire. In addition, under-inflated
tires also influence the power saving.
Please also check if there any cuts, splits or other things which could cause the tire to be
damaged worse; and to check if there is necessary to replace one new tire.
6. Appearance Cleaning
It is necessary to keep the pedal and body of Esway clean. Please clean the gravel, soil and
mud off after driving. Don't use any corrosive chemical such as petrol to clean Esway, you
can clean it by soft cloth and brush. Don’t wash Esway with water.
Chapter VIII Notice
1. Balance Output of Esway
Computer balance can start immediately when you step on the pedal of Esway. If you keep
pressing the pedal switch, the computer balance will always on. But the computer keeps
balance output only 5-second at a low speed, then OFF automatically as the pedal switch
restored. Please pay attention that Esway will keep balance always if the balance output
function is ON, it means letting this scooter on a flat road without driver on it will go forward
by itself.
2. Esway Parking
If for temporary parking, you can just turn on the balance output by remote control and lean
it against a wall or step that can stop it from moving forward; if for long time parking, you
can switch off the power and put the supporting foot down. This parking supporting foot
can be purchased from us independently.

3. WaterAccident
Turn the power off immediately if Esway poured into water accidentally. Do not drive it
again if you are not sure of the default. The Esway weighs 55kg, you can take it home easily
without help; and please contact us for after-service guide.
4. Lock Switch
To lock Esway is for preventing accidental run. Just power off and lock, then try to power
on again, if red light flashes 5 times, it means Esway is locked.
When Esway is ON and already initialized, if you lock at this time, it will lead to pedal
switch short circuited. Esway will think one driver standing on it and will start balance
automatically. Please do not drive under this situation.
In some countries, Esway is difficult to define vehicle type, so please don't drive on public
roads used for motor vehicles .When driving on the sidewalk, single driveway or public
places, please obey the local traffic rules.
Chapter IX Indicator and Sound Alarm

pedal switch on several times by hand or feet to make pedal restore (the pedal switch is
pressed down). Then try to test it by powering on Esway again, if alarm sound and lights
blinking are still there, please contact the technicians.
4. Indicator light is normal, Esway cannot use
After power on Esway, green light, orange light and red light flash at the same time; after
then, green light should be continuous on as normal starting. If the scooter can’t balance by
using remote control or pressing pedal switch ON, it means that there is some problem on
gyroscope or accelerometer. In above two situations, please power off Esway and stop
driving, then contact the technicians.
5. Function of battery display and sound alarm
Green light continually On: System works well and battery in normal state.
Orange light continually On: Battery is less, need to charge in time.
