WARNING
Any Hover-1 Rider that does not work
properly can cause you to lose control
and fall. Inspect the entire device
thoroughly before every ride, and do
not ride it until any problems have been
corrected.
BEFORE RIDING
WARNING
Any scooter that does not work
properly can cause you to lose control
and fall. Do not ride a Hover-1 Rider with
a part that is damaged; replace the
damaged part before riding.
RIDER OPERATION
It is important that you fully understand all elements of your Hover-1
Rider. If these elements are not used correctly, you will not have full
control of your Hover-1 Rider. Before you ride fast, or outside of a
controlled environment, learn the functions of the various
mechanisms on your Hover-1 Rider.
PRE-RIDE HOVER-1 Rider CHECKLIST
Ensure that your Hover-1 Rider is in proper working order each and
every time you ride. If a part of the Hover-1 Rider does not function
correctly, please contact our Customer Support Center.
• Always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In
the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious
injury and in some cases, even death.
• The owner shall only use and operate the unit after full
comprehension of all components and functions of the unit..
• Check with your doctor if you have a medical condition that
could aect your ability to use the Rider.
12

13
• Persons with a medical condition, heart condition, head, back, or
neck ailments or prior surgeries to those areas of the body are not
recommended to use the Rider.
• Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make
them susceptible to injury or impair their physical or mental
capabilities to recognize, understand and perform all of the safety
instructions and to be able to assume the hazards inherent in unit
use, should not use the Rider.
• Ensure your tire pressure is at 30 psi (210kpa) before riding.
• Ensure the battery is fully charged before riding your Rider.

• If the Hover-1 Rider is not to be used for an extended period of
time, you may need to recharge the battery every 2 months to
maintain the battery life.
• Ensure that the screws on the front and back tires are locked rmly
before each ride.
• Check to ensure the tires are not worn.
• Check to ensure all connections are maintained on the Hover-1
Rider.
• Ensure the brake cables are well lubricated. It is suggested you
lubricate brakes every 6 months.
• Ensure throttle moves smoothly. You should be able to turn it
forward and back,
• Make sure there are no frayed cables, loose connections, missing
fasteners or axle/lug nuts.
CHECKING BRAKES
A cable connects the brake lever to your brakes. The lever causes
the brake pads to apply pressure to the rotors on your wheels.
Pull the lever to ensure the brake moves freely and stops the Hover-1
Rider. If the lever can be pulled at to the handlebar, the brake is
too loose.
When brakes are not applied, brake pads should be 1 - 2mm from
the rotor. If brake pads are too close to the rotor, the brakes are too
tight. The brake pads should be in line with the rotor surface.
Adjust your brake lever to improve brake sensitivity. Brakes will
wear down over time. If after you have adjusted brake sensitivity,
you feel that the brakes are not performing well, you may need
to have brake pads or rotors replaced.
The rst rule in safe riding is to use common sense. A Hover-1 Rider is
vulnerable; it cannot protect you in a crash, against impact, or loss
of control the way driving a car can. A Hover-1 Rider can tip over
sideways or pitch you over the front wheel. It moves faster than a
typical scooter. It does not have bumpers or airbags as a car does.
This section is a guide of safe riding practices. Make sure you are
using your Hover-1 Rider properly.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
14

Brake pads and rotors get very hot
during use and could burn skin. The
edges can also be very sharp and cut
skin. Do not touch the brake pads or
rotors directly after riding your
Hover-1 Rider.
CAUTION
15
Dierent localities and countries have dierent laws governing
riding on public roads, and you should check with local oicials to
ensure you are complying with these laws.
Hover-1 is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not
follow these regulations.
• Always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In
the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious
injury and in some cases, even death.
• Obey all local traic laws. Obey red and green lights, one-way
streets, stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, etc.
• Ride with the traic, not against it.
• Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.
• Give pedestrians the right-of-way.
• Do not ride too close to pedestrians and alert them if you intend
to pass them from behind.
• Slow down at all street intersections and look to the left and right
before crossing.
•Obey all traic signals.
• Always use proper hand signals for turning and stopping. Give
signals before stopping or turning and always return both hands to
the handle bars before stopping or turning.
• Watch for cars pulling out into traic and for the sudden opening
of car doors.
• Avoid potholes, drainage grates or other road surface hazards.
• Never hitch onto other vehicles.
• Do not “stunt” ride or race in traic.

WARNING
Proper use of your brake is vital to
ensure safe, eicient stopping. To avoid
misuse and potential injury, do not
apply sudden or excessive force to your
brakes. Apply your brakes gradually
and give yourself enough room to
come to a complete stop safely.
16
• Do not weave in and out of traic or swerve from side to side.
• A crash can put extraordinary stress on Hover-1 Rider
components, possibly causing them to fatigue prematurely.
Components suering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly, causing
loss of control, or serious injury.
CAUTION: RIDING IN WET WEATHER
Brakes do not work as well under wet conditions as they do when
dry. It is recommended that you do not ride your Hover-1 Rider in
wet weather, as there are electronic components of your Hover-1
Rider that may be damaged if exposed to water.
If you are riding your scooter in low-visibility conditions, ensure your
headlight is turned on, and that you are wearing bright, reective
clothing.
Think about safety when you ride. You can prevent many accidents
if you think about safety. Below is a helpful checklist for Hover-1 Rider
riders.
SAFETY CHECKLIST
• Check your scooter before every ride, making sure brakes are
operating eectively and everything is in good working condition.
• Always keep both hands rmly on the handlebars.
• Do not ride “double” with more than one adult rider on the seat.
• Avoid riding in large groups, as this can force you to ride too close
to other riders, making it diicult to see other vehicles and road
hazards.
• Do not ride above your skill level. Ensure you have had enough
practice with all functions and features of your Rider.
• With increased speed comes increased risk. If you are moving at
a higher speed, small bumps can turn into large impacts, leading to
a higher risk of injury if an accident occurs.

WARNING
When you ride in low-visibility conditions
such as fog, dusk, or night, you might be
diicult to see, which could lead to a
collision. In addition to keeping your
headlight on, wear bright, reective
clothing when riding in poor lighting
conditions.
17
• Do not ride with loose objects attached to the handlebars or
other parts of the scooter.
• Do not ride while intoxicated or while taking medications which
can make you drowsy.
• When approaching a descent, decrease your speed.
• Do not abuse your Hover-1 Rider.
Always look ahead to avoid and anticipate any upcoming
obstacles. The distance of any upcoming obstacles will vary
according to your speed.

Use caution when you encounter road obstacles. If you are going
fast, even a small obstacle can create a signicant impact to both
you and your scooter. If you are unsure about your ability to safely
ride over an obstacle, it is best to either ride around it, or stop your
scooter, dismount, and walk your scooter around the obstacle.
The natural tendency of riders is to move where they are looking.
Avoid focusing on obstacles, even if you are trying to avoid them.
Instead, focus on the part of the road where you want to go.
WARNING
There may be additional risk to injury if
you use your scooter incorrectly. This
includes, but is not limited to:
• Jumping your scooter
• Riding over debris or obstacles
• Performing stunts
• Riding in o-road terrain
• Racing other riders
• Riding in unusual manner
The aforementioned examples add
stress to each part of your scooter and
can lead to long term damage of the
device. Damage to your scooter can
lead to an accident or increase your
risk of injury. To decrease your risk of
injury, use your scooter correctly.

OPERATING CONDITIONS
WARNING
Overweight exertion on product
may increase possibility of injury or
product damage.
19
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, VOID YOUR
MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.
OPERATING YOUR DEVICE
Make sure the device is fully charged before the rst initial use.
Before turning on your scooter, sit on it like a normal bike to get
comfortable with the device before using it with the motor.
The scooter is equipped with a built-in 500 Watt Brushless Motor
which allows you to accelerate (up to 15 mph) and decelerate.
To turn, use the handlebar to turn in the direction you wish to turn.
Prepare to brace yourself if you encounter bumps or uneven
surfaces, then dismount and roll your scooter to a safe operating
surface.
WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS
Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not
exceed the limits listed here in the manual.
• Maximum Weight: 286.6 lbs
• Minimum Weight: 44 lbs
• Maximum Speed: Up to 15 mph
OPERATING RANGE
The scooter can travel a distance up to 27.96 miles on a fully
charged battery in ideal conditions. The following are some of the
major factors that will aect the operating range of your device.
• Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, at
surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance
signicantly.
• Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the device under
recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance;
battery life, and overall performance of your device.
