JETSON V8 SPORT OVERVIEW
PAD SENSORS
There are four sensors under the pads. Never remove the pad, or you will revoke the warranty.
When the Jetson V8 Sport is turned on and you step on, it will automatically adjust to the balance

the Jetson V8 Sport from switching off, which could cause a collision. The device will not move
without putting pressure on at least one sensor.

can be adjusted in the Ride Jetson App include Steering Sensitivity, Driving Force, Maximum
Speed, and Auto Shutdown Time.
HOW TO RECALIBRATE
When the Jetson V8 Sport experiences an error, the running indicator light will turn red. That

and is now ready for use.

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
Your Jetson V8 Sport comes with a rechargeable lithium battery. Always use the provided charger
only.BeforeyourrstrideyoumustfullychargetheJetsonV8Sport-chargefor8hours.Forevery
ride after, charge your Jetson V8 Sport until it is fully charged, and NOT LONGER. Do not leave any
chargers plugged in overnight, or leave it plugged in past the charge time.
1. Plug one end of the power cord into a grounded AC outlet and the other into the Jetson V8
Sport’s charging port. The red charging light on the charger unit will turn on.
2. The red light will turn green once fully charged. Recharge the Jetson V8 Sport after each use.
(Pleasenote:Alwaysplugthechargerintothewallrstbeforethedevice.Ifthewalloutletdoesn’t
havepowerandyouplugthechargerintothedevicerst,itwilllightgreen,evenifthebatteryis
notfull.Soalwaysplugintothewallrsttomakesurethereispower.)

10
HOW IT WORKS
The Jetson V8 Sport Hoverboard uses advanced acceleration sensors to control balance while in
use based on the rider’s center of gravity. It also uses automatic control systems to drive the motor
efciently.WhenyoustandontheJetsonV8Sport,justmoveyourbodyforwardorbackwardand
themotorwillautomaticallycontrolthewheelstohelpmaintainyourbalance.Toturn,rstslow
down then point right toes downward to turn left, or point left toes downward to turn right. Built-
in stabilizing systems maintain forward and backward direction, but they cannot guarantee left
and right stability. When you ride, be sure to shift your weight to overcome centrifugal force and
improve turning safety.
SAFE RIDING
Alwaysmakesureyou’rewearingclosed-toe,atshoes,anddonotwearlooseclothes.Always
wearahelmet,elbowpads,andkneepadswhenriding.Next,ndaspaciousplace,andmakesure
there are no obstacles in the way. And always be sure the charger is unplugged before riding your
Jetson V8 Sport.
Nowndthepowerbutton.It’slocatednexttothechargingportonthebackoftheunit.Pressit
until you hear the Jetson V8 Sport beep and the lights on the top turn green. When you do, it’s on.
Remember that the range of the Jetson V8 Sport depends on how you use it. The battery will run
out quicker if you ride at higher speeds and/or up or down an incline.
GETTING ON AND OFF THE JETSON V8 SPORT
When you stand on the Jetson V8 Sport, keep your feet shoulder-width apart. Do not
stand on the center portion. Keep a relaxed, upright posture, with your knees slightly bent.
When you are getting on the Jetson V8 Sport, the LED lights should be in the front, and the brake
lightsshouldbeintheback.Alwaysbecarefulgettingonandoff,andwhilerstgettingusedto
your Jetson V8 Sport hold on to stable objects for assistance.

accustomed to the Jetson V8 Sport’s controls.
5. Moving Forward: Lean forward on both pads and/or point your toes down.
6. Moving Backward: Lean backward on both pads and/or push your heels down.
7. Turning Right: Point your left toes downward, rotating the platform forward, to instruct the V8
Sport to turn right.
8. Turning Left: Point your right toes downward, rotating the platform forward, to instruct the V8
Sport to turn left.
9. To rotate, slightly tilt one foot forward and the other foot backward.
10. When you are ready to get off, slow down by getting to an upright and stationary
position, step off with one foot behind the unit, and then step down with the other.
11. Once you are safely off, power down the Jetson V8 Sport. If you do not turn it off, it will
stay on for 10 minutes allowing you to step on and go again without engaging the power
button. The Jetson V8 Sport will shut off automatically after 10 minutes.
REMEMBER: ALWAYS ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE AT A SAFE SPEED. ACCELERATING
OR DECELERATING TOO QUICKLY MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF BALANCE OR CONTROL, AND

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
DRIVING RANGE
A lot of factors will affect how far you can go per charge:
•Drivingsurface:Asmooth,atsurfacewillincreasedrivingdistance.
• Weight: More weight means less distance.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Jetson V8 Sport under recommended
temperature, which will increase its longevity and driving distance.
• Maintenance: Timely battery charging and maintenance will increase driving
distance.
• Speed and driving style: Maintaining a moderate speed will increase distance.
Frequent starting and stopping, acceleration, and deceleration will reduce it.
SPEED LIMIT
The top speed of the Jetson V8 Sport is 10 mph. When you approach the maximum
speed, it will try to prevent you from accelerating further. It will automatically tilt back to shift your
weight backward. You may feel that you are being pushed back or that you cannot make it go any
faster. Do not continue leaning or bending forward to try and increase your speed, or you will fall.
WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
The maximum load is 260 lbs, and the minimum load is 45 lbs. Going above the maximum
weight limit can cause injury, and going below the minimum weight limit will disable
controlfeatures.Ifyourweightisslightlyabove45lbs.andyoundthehoverboardshaking,
please adjust the sensitivity or force from the Ride Jetson app and it should no longer shake.
TERRAIN
The Jetson V8 Sport behaves differently depending on riding terrain and other conditions. When
using it, please keep the following in mind:
•TheJetsonV8Sportisintendedforuseonsmooth,atsurfaces.Topreventlossoftraction,al-
ways be careful when riding, and learn to identify and avoid slippery and wet surfaces, loose mate-
rials, slopes, potholes, and other obstacles.
• Stop and step off the Jetson V8 Sport when you come to unsafe surfaces or terrain.
• The wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to stay upright. Slips occur with loss
of traction, potentially causing loss of control and a fall. Abrupt maneuvers and riding
over slippery surfaces, bumps, and loose objects and materials may cause the Jetson V8 Sport to
lose traction.
PROTECTION FUNCTION
If there is a system error or improper operation during usage, the Jetson V8 Sport may give you a
prompt. This will only occur under certain conditions, such as:
• Battery power is too low.
• Surface angle exceeds 20°.
• The angle of the terrain is more than 35° (the motor will shut off after 15 seconds).

14
• Maximum speed is reached.
• Battery power is low.
• Motor is overheating or overcharging.
• System enters overcharging protection mode (the green indicator will light up).
• A wheel is blocked (the Jetson V8 Sport will shut down after 2 seconds).
• Battery is low but still being used (the Jetson V8 Sport will turn the motor off after 15
seconds).
• Balancing in a neutral position for over 30 seconds.
STORAGE
If you plan on storing the Jetson V8 Sport for a substantial period of time, please do the
following:
• Fully charge the battery before storing.
• If you store the Jetson V8 Sport for more than one month, remember to
charge it at least every two months.
• If the ambient temperature of your storage area is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit,
do not charge. You should bring the vehicle into a warm environment (above 50 degrees
Fahrenheit) for charging.
• To protect against dust, cover the Jetson V8 Sport.
• Store the Jetson V8 Sport indoors, in a dry place and at a suitable temperature.
• Do not leave the Jetson V8 Sport plugged into the charger for long periods of time.

back of the bracket at the base. Pull the strap ensuring it is as tight and secure around the
Jetson V8 Sport as possible.
4. Repeat Step 3 with the other bracket, making sure that both velcro straps are securely
connected to the brackets and snug around the bottom of the Jetson V8 Sport.

17
GETTING ON:
1. Before taking your seat, make sure your Jetson V8 Sport is charged. Then place it on a
leveled surface, facing up and turned off.
 2.Carefullyloweryourselfintotheseat.Thenplaceyourfeet,rstonethentheother,onthe
footrests. That way your weight can balance out the JetKart and keep you from falling
backwards.
3. Once you’re seated, look down and make sure the Jetson V8 Sport is horizontal and
facing up. After you’ve followed all these steps, you can turn on the hoverboard. (Please
note: if the hoverboard is not horizontal, and you turn on the device, it will go forward or
backwards instantly upon turning on.
HOW TO RIDE:
1. Slowly push down on both handlebars to move forward.
2. Push down on the right handlebar to turn left, and push down on the left handlebar to turn right.
3. Apply more force pushing the handlebars down to accelerate, and pull the handlebars up to
slow down.
Remember,whenrstusingyourJetKartbesuretostartslowandputverylightpressureonthe
handle bars. Applying more pressure on the handle bars will make the JetKart accelerate more
rapidly.
