①Max Speed can be adjusted through the application. You may
get a higher instant speed but will stabilize at the set speed.
②Distance per charge was calculated under the following test
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
models weigh differently because of different materials used.
The R1EX is about 15 Kg.

2.3. How the Q-BOT Works
The Q-BOT 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 Q-BOT when you lean forward or back the machine powers the Wheels in the direction that
you lean.
The Q-BOT 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 Q-BOT turns left. When you pivot the Turning Shaft to the right, the
Q-BOT turns right. To turn the Q-BOT, point the Turning Shaft in the direction you want to go, keeping the Handlebar in line
with your body. When the Turning Shaft is centered, the Q-BOT travels straight ahead.
