move suddenly back and forth, you need to realise that this is actually caused by your own body trying to adjust your balance. Focus on keeping your ankles still
to prevent unwanted movement.
Step 3. Once you are able to leave the balancing to your Light Rider, you will find yourself hovering upright with the Light Rider making small adjustments to
keep you balanced. To move, gently lean backwards or forwards. As you lean the hoverboard will move in that direction.
Step 4. Turning left and right. To turn while on your LightRider, you need to adjustthe angle of your feet so that one foot is tilted more than the other. For example,
to turn right, you would angle your left foot more, which will increase the speed on the left side and cause the hoverboard to turn right. Take care to adjust your
centre of balance if you are turning at speed. You will need to lean your body just like on a bicycle.
Step5. To end your ride, please step backwards of the scooter. Never step forwards off your Light Rider. The mechanics of the human body will cause your toes to
press down when stepping forward and the hoverboard will move forward at speed which could cause foot injuries or a fall. Never ever try to jump off the
hoverboard. As your feet leave the hoverboard they will activate the hoverboard. When this happens it will usually mirror your movements causing you to land
back on the hoverboard.
Safety Warning:
When you first start riding the scooter it may take a minute to autocorrect back to a balanced position if you turned on the power button without
aligning both sides the Light Rider evenly and horizontally to the ground. Please allow your Light Rider to completely self balance before attempting to
move.
3.1.3 Speed Limit Protection
The speed limit protection has more than one purpose. Firstly it conforms to Australian safety standards. Secondly it prevents injury from excessive speed. Thirdly
it attempts to prevent you from tumbling forward once you reach the highest speed by angling the pedals back into the neutral position. If there was no speed limit
protection then once you reached the maximum speed the hoverboard would no longer be able to balance and you would tumble off.
Precaution:
Once you are approaching maximum speed, as indicated by the warning beeps, please don’t force the speed higher.
