conditions: 25℃, 70 Kg payload and smooth terrain. The
cruising distance varies under different riding conditions.
Different SCV and battery models will cause a difference in
cruising distance.
③The Machine Weight includes a 4 Ah Battery Pack. Different

2.3. How the INMOTION SCV Works
The INMOTION SCV works like the human body. When walking, if you lean forward, you take a step forward to keep your
balance. If you lean back, you step back. On an INMOTION SCV when you lean forward or back the machine powers the Wheels
in the direction that you lean.
The INMOTION SCV uses dynamic stabilization technology and applies a gyroscope, sensors, and a Permanent Magnet
Synchronous Motor (PMSM) to maintain its balance and move forward or backward.
When you pivot the Turning Shaft to the left, the INMOTION SCV turns left. When you pivot the Turning Shaft to the right,
the INMOTION SCV turns right. To turn the INMOTION SCV, point the Turning Shaft in the direction you want to go, keeping

11 / 68
the Handlebar in line with your body. When the Turning Shaft is centered, the INMOTION SCV travels straight ahead.

properly. Assembly of the Turning Shaft is now complete. When necessary, remove the Turning Shaft from the SCV by unlocking
the Quick Release Lock.
3. Remove the Battery Pack from the battery package, lean the INMOTION SCV body forward, and hold it steady. Slide the
Battery Pack into the Battery Slot. When you hear a click, gently try to pull the Battery Pack out. The Battery Pack is installed
properly if it cannot be removed without releasing the latch.
4. Press the Reset Button on the back of the SCV, and power on the INMOTION SCV using the SmartKey.
If necessary, especially when you need to put the INMOTION SCV in the trunk of your car, the Turning Shaft and the
Handlebar can be quickly removed by unlocking the Quick Release Lock.
Please confirm the Turning Shaft is installed properly. Try lifting the Turning Shaft with both hands to check if it is loose. If it
is loose, tighten the Screw.
If you need to remove the Turning Shaft, hold it tightly with one hand, unlock the Quick Release Lock, slightly shake it and
then pull it out.
