INSTALL THE VEHICLE BATTERY
The battery compartment is designed to fit the 5000mAh,
7.4V 2S 50C G2 series LiPo Smart battery with IC5 connector
(SPMX52S50H5).
To install the recommended battery:
1. Remove the pin from the battery compartment.
2. Rotate the battery hatch down.
3. Fully insert the battery, label side down, into the battery
compartment.
4. Route the battery lead wires forward through the top of
the muer as you rotate the battery hatch closed.
NOTICE: The battery lead wires must be routed over the
muer to ensure they don’t contact the rear tire during
operation. Failure to do so may cause damage to the wires
and electronic components.
5. Press up on the battery hatch.
6. Insert the pin through the hole in the battery
compartment post.
TIP: It may require considerable force the first few times to
close the battery hatch tight enough to insert the pin.
7. Insert the IC5 battery connector into the vehicle battery
port.

POWER ON THE VEHICLE
STEERING TEST
POWER ON THE TRANSMITTER
1. Press the power button located on
the right side of the vehicle, next
to the rider’s leg, as shown in the
illustration.
2. Place the vehicle on the included
stand and leave motionless for at
least five seconds, allowing the
vehicle to initialize.
The transmitter will emit a pair of
descending tones, and the vehicle
will emit a series of tones. When the
vehicle has initialized, the transmitter
will emit a series of tones and the
battery level indicator will display the
vehicle battery level.
When the vehicle and transmitter are
powered on, but the flywheel is o, the
transmitter emits a warning tone and
flashes the LED indicator yellow. This
is to remind you the flywheel is o.
To power on the transmitter press the power button located
on the back of the transmitter, as shown.
The transmitter will emit a tone and the battery level
indicator will briefly flash the transmitter battery level.
The LED indicator will then flash yellow.
Rotate the transmitter steering wheel left and right to test
the steering.
IMPORTANT: The front wheel of the vehicle turns the
opposite direction from the direction the transmitter
steering wheel is rotated.
If the vehicle steering operates with transmitter input, the
MS6X and ESC are both armed.

FLYWHEEL STARTUP
TRANSMITTER CONTROLS
The vehicle features a high-speed, motorized flywheel to
assist with stability.
To power on the flywheel:
1. Place the vehicle on the included stand.
2. Slide the transmitter flywheel switch to ON. The LED
indicator on the transmitter will glow solid green, and the
flywheel on the vehicle will start, gradually increasing in
speed.
3. Wait for the flywheel to reach maximum speed,
approximately 30 seconds, before attempting to drive
the vehicle.
TIP: When the flywheel has reached maximum speed,
the audible pitch of the spinning flywheel will be
constant.
IMPORTANT: Attempting to drive the vehicle without
running the flywheel or without waiting for the flywheel
to reach maximum speed is not recommended.
THROTTLE AND BRAKE
Pull the transmitter trigger to make the vehicle move
forward. The farther you pull the trigger, the faster the
vehicle will accelerate.
Push the transmitter trigger forward to apply the brake. The
vehicle is equipped with a floating disk front wheel brake and
an electronic rear wheel motor brake.
CAUTION: This vehicle is capable of very high speed.
Slowing and stopping the vehicle from full speed
requires as much as 100ft (30m). Never operate this
vehicle around people, animals or property until you are
familiar with the space requirements for safe operation.
Serious injury or property damage may result.
For the initial runs, we recommend using the transmitter
throttle limit switch to reduce the available throttle to 50 or 75
percent power. When you are comfortable with the handling
characteristics you may increase the throttle limit to 100
percent to experience the full capabilities of the vehicle.

TURNING
The Promoto-MX uses MS6X technology to translate the
transmitter input to a desired lean angle, using the weight of
the motorcycle to produce the correct response.
Rotate the transmitter steering wheel left and right to turn
the desired direction.
• When the steering wheel is rotated right, the front wheel
turns left, shifting the weight to the right and the vehicle
leans right, then turns right.
• When the steering wheel is rotated left, the front wheel
turns right, shifting the weight to the left and the vehicle
leans left, then turns left.
IMPORTANT: The faster the vehicle moves, the more stable
it becomes, and the less responsive to steering inputs.
DRIVING
TURNING RADIUS
Similar to a full size motorcycle, the turning radius is
dependent on the speed of the vehicle. The faster the vehicle
is moving, the less responsive it is to steering input.
TIP: To make tighter turns while at speed, apply the brake
to slow down and shift weight to the front wheel, complete
your turn, and accelerate away.
STARTING
1. While holding the transmitter in your left hand, place the
vehicle on the ground and hold upright.
2. Pull the throttle trigger slightly to start the vehicle moving
forward. Once rolling, the vehicle will remain upright, as
long as you maintain a minimum speed.
IMPORTANT: The faster the vehicle moves, the more stable
it becomes, and the less responsive to steering inputs.
3. Steer using the transmitter steering wheel.
DRIVING PRACTICE
To help familiarize yourself with the handling of the vehicle,
practice turning left and right by driving in a figure-8 pattern.
Start by driving at low speed, gradually increasing your
speed as you get more comfortable.
Other maneuvers to practice:
• Making turns without allowing the lean bar wheels to
contact the ground.
• Low-speed maneuvering to become familiar with the
minimum speed at which the vehicle will remain upright.
• High-speed maneuvering
• Full speed to full-stop braking
• Turning under braking

EN
DRIVING MODES
JUMPING
The Promoto-MX has three drive modes available:
• Wheelie mode (three green LED flashes): Meant for
driving on smooth, hard pavement, this mode allows the
vehicle to pop high wheelies and balance to maintain them
while holding full throttle.
• On-road mode (two green LED flashes): Meant for
driving on smooth, hard pavement, this mode employs
wheelie suppression, which will catch wheelies early,
setting the front wheel down and allowing for maximum
acceleration.
• O-road mode (one green LED flash): Meant for driving
on dirt and grass, this mode has wheelie prevention, which
will catch most wheelies and keep the motorcycle from
flipping over under acceleration.
To change driving modes:
• Press the top of the drive mode button once to go “up” one
mode.
• Press the bottom of the drive mode button once to go
“down” one mode.
The transmitter will emit a series of tones and flash the LED
indicator a number of times corresponding to the selected
drive mode, as shown in the illustration.
If the transmitter does not emit a tone or flash the LED
indicator when pressing the button, you have reached the
end of the drive mode selections. Press the opposite side of
the drive mode button to scroll the other direction through
the drive modes.
The Promoto-MX is very capable of o-road riding and
jumping. Jumping and landing controllably requires
timing, coordination, and most importantly, practice. We
recommend starting with small jumps and progressing to
larger jumps as you become more proficient.
When jumping, always accelerate up the face of the jump.
This will pre-load the suspension and allow for a more stable,
predictable attitude through the completion of the jump.
Use the throttle to control the vehicle pitch in the air. Increasing
the throttle will cause the front wheel to pitch up. Decreasing
the throttle will cause the front wheel to pitch down.
IMPORTANT: Due to the rotational force of the flywheel,
the vehicle will pitch down more aggresively in the air than
most rc vehicles. Conversely, the vehicle pitches up much
less aggresively in the air while applying throttle than other
vehicles. Because of this, we recommend against applying
brakes in the air after leaving the jump.
The optimum landing attitude is for the rear wheel to contact
the surface first while being on the throttle, keeping the
weight from transferring to the front wheel. If you are not
on the throttle, or if the vehicle lands on the front wheel,
the weight will transfer over the front wheel, causing a less
controllable landing.
