• SAFE USE
A little practice at the start it is needed, in order to fully master this new means of transport: you have pro-
bably already learned how to ride a bike, use a skateboard and ski. These experiences will help you to ma-
ster your hoverboard in a short space of time.
Read the manual carefully. Before usin it for the first time, make sure that the tires are not dama ed and
that there are no missin mechanical parts. Never use the hoverboard with the aim of dama in people
or thin s. Do not amend the mechanical parts. Since it is a hi hly technolo ical device, any chan in or
amendment could result in irre ular performance.
While usin the hoverboard make sure to take all necessary security measures; in particular we remind,
once more, that is recommended to wear a helmet, kneepads, elbow pads, loves, etc.
• RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM USER WEIGHT
In order to ensure the safety of driver and reduce the overload of the hoverboard followin the below rec-
commendations.
• The maximum wei ht of the driver is 100 k .
• The minimum wei ht of the driver is 20 k .
• SPEED
The maximum possible speed enablin to maintain the hoverboard control is about 15 km/h. When this
speed is exceeded the hoverboard will emit an alarm sound. When this happens, it is necessary to reduce
the speed to a value within the safety limit. Experts users only should reach the maximum speed.
• TRAVEL DISTANCE
• If the hoverboard is driven on flat terrain, the distance that can be covered increases.
• If the terrain is not flat the distance you will be able to cover will be smaller.
• The driver’s wei ht affects the distance that can be covered.
• Correct char in and maintenance of the battery increase the battery life. The opposite is true in the
case incorrect char in and maintenance.
• A drivin style with continual accelerations and brakin reduces the duration of the battery.
BATTERY

ded on a smartphone.
Compatible with smartphones equipped with the same technology BT v4.2.
The following instructions may change slightly depending on the smartphone model used.
Turn on your hoverboard.
The hoverboard will emit a sound signal telling you that Bluetooth is enabled.
- Go to your mobile device settings and choose Bluetooth.
- Start the pairing process on your mobile device. Your mobile device may automatically recognize your ho-
verboard as “Bluetooth speaker”.
- Select the new Bluetooth device from your mobile device and pair.
- There is no password required for pairing with the hoverboard.
- The hoverboard will emit a sound signal telling you the devices are paired.
- Now you can play your favourite music from your mobile device with the hoverboard internal Bluetooth
speaker.
- When you disconnect your mobile device, the hoverboardc will emit another sound signal to alert you.
OPERATION
The hoverboard moves thanks to the dynamic balance concept. It uses an internal system of sensors and
gyroscopes that allows it to move on the basis of the variation of the centre of gravity, instructing the whe-
els in real time to turn forwards or backwards to remain in a position of balance. By leaning forwards, you
will move forwards and the angle of inclination determines the speed at which you move. To turn it is suf-
ficient to gently transfer your weight to one of your feet. The hoverboard has a system of inertial stabiliza-

tion, which helps you to maintain a vertical position; if it notices an excessive inclination of your
body towards either side or lack of contact of the platforms by either of your feet it will stop automatically.
BEFORE TURNING, OU HAVE TO REDUCE THE SPEED MOVING OUR WEIGHT SLIGHTL BACK-
WORDS.
USE
Press the power button to start the hoverboard.
As you get on, put one foot on the side of the platform; the hoverboard will notice the weight and will acti-
vate the balancing system.
Slowly lift the other foot and then put it back on the ground.
Practice lifting your foot and bringing back down to the ground for a few times until you are able to lift it wi-
thout making the hoverboard sway from side to side.
Try to keep your head held high as much as possible and look ahead. When you are easily able to lift your
foot from the ground without hoverboard moving, slowly place your other foot on the pedal.
TO GET ON SAFELY WE REMIND THE USER THAT IS PROHIBITED TO UMP ONTO THE HOVER-
BOARD.
- Get control of the frontal movements of the hoverboard and remember that movements of the body axis
must not be too broad or made through sharp and sudden movements.
- Always maintain control of lateral movements (to the right and to the left).
- Before getting off the hoverboard, make sure it is completely stationary.
- Alight, by removing one foot at a time from the platform.
WARNING!
IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE AUTO BALANCING, WHEN YOU GET ONTO THE
PLATFORM THE LED ALARM LIGHT WILL SWITCH ON. DO NOT USE THE HOVERBOARD, WAIT FOR
A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN. IF YOU ARE ON A SLOPE, MOVE TO FLAT TERRAIN.

GET OFF ALWAYS FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO AVOID RISKS OF LOSING
CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND FALLING.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
The following anomalies could cause the protection functions of the hoverboard activation.
During use, if the system notes the presence of errors or the loss of balance, it will warn the user of these
anomalies, through control lights and intermittent alarm sounds.
- Driving on slopes with a gradient of more than 10 percent.
- Too low voltage of the battery.
- Excessively high speed.
- Exhausted battery.
- Oscillation forwards and backwards for more than 30 seconds.
If the system goes into protection mode, the alarm sensors switch on and the control lights start to sound.
THE HOVERBOARD WILL TURN OFF AUTOMATICALL IN THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:
- The system detects a too high inclination, in any direction.
- In case of locking wheels for at least 2 seconds.
- In the event of activities which involve a significant consumption of energy (lengthy climbs, particularly
steep descents).
- If during use, the platforms are inverted or tilted beyond a safe limit.
ALWA S EFFECT DESCENTS BACKWARDS TO AVOID FALLING OR LOSING CONTROL OF THE
VEHICLE
Driving the hoverboard in the abovementioned circumstances can damage the vehicle and injure the user.
In the event of the vehicle automatically switching off, the system will block the vehicle. Unblocking is made
manually by pressing the ON/OFF button on the back.
CALIBRATING FUNCTIONS
In the event of incorrect functioning it could be necessary to effect the calibrating process.
Make sure that the hoverboard is perfectly flat. Keep the ON/OFF button pressed until the LED lights will flash:
this means that the calibration has been effected successfully.
• MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the power cable is disconnected and that the hoverboard is off before proceeding.
Clean the external shell of the hoverboard with a soft and dry cloth.
The hoverboard is spray resistant, but cannot be immersed in water.
Do not allow water or other liquid to get inside the hoverboard, as this could cause permanent damage to
the electronic circuitry.
Clean the hoverboard after every use and do not store in a dusty environment.
• CONSERVATION
Before storing the hoverboard make sure that the battery is completely charged.
Charge the battery completely as this will prevent it from becoming completely exhausted over time.
Per long periods of time remove the battery and run it down /recharge it every three months.
Cover the hoverboard with a cloth. Dust and sand could get into the engine and damage it.
Store indoors, at a dry and suitable temperature. It is recommended to store the hoverboard in its original
packing or to cover it with a cloth.Dust could damage its internal components.
