WHAT DOES UL LISTING MEAN?
UL Listing means that UL (Underwriters Laboratories) has tested representative samples of
the product and determined that it meets their requirements. These requirements are based
primarily on UL’s published and nationally recognized Standards for safety.
WHAT DOES UL 2272 CERTIFIED MEAN?
UL supports retailers and manufacturers by offering electrical and fire-safety testing and
certification under UL 2272, Electrical Systems for Self-Balancing Scooters. This standard
evaluates the safety of the electrical drive train system and battery and charger system
combinations, but does NOT evaluate for performance, reliability, or rider safety.
INTRODUCTION
The Hoverboard is a personal transportation vehicle that has been tested for safety. However,
operating this vehicle poses certain inherent risks, including injury and/or property damage.
Please wear appropriate safety gear at all times while operating your Hoverboard and be sure to
read the contents of this manual prior to operation in order to minimize risks.
• In order to avoid dangers that are caused by collisions, falls and/or loss of control, please
learn how to ride your Hoverboard safely outdoors in a flat, open environment
• This manual includes all operating instructions and precautions. All users must read this
manual carefully and follow the instructions. Please wear all appropriate safety gear,
including a helmet certified by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission). Please
follow all local laws regarding use in public areas and roadways

OPERATING YOUR HOVERBOARD
The Hoverboard uses gyroscopes and acceleration sensors to control
balance intelligently depending on your center of gravity. The Hoverboard
also uses a servo-control system to drive the motor. It adapts to the human
body, so when you stand on the Hoverboard, just lean your body forward or
backward. The power plant will control the wheels in a forward or backward
motion to keep you balanced.
To turn, simply slow down and lean your body left or right. The built-in inertia
dynamic stabilization system will maintain the direction frontwards or
backwards. However, it cannot guarantee stability while turning left or right.
As you drive the Hoverboard, please shift your weight in order to overcome
the centrifugal force and improve your safety while turning.
MAT SENSORS
There are four sensors under the mats. When the user steps on the mats,
the Hoverboard will automatically initiate self-balance mode.
A. While driving the Hoverboard, you must be sure to step on the foot mats
evenly. DO NOT STEP ON ANY AREA OTHER THAN THE MATS.
B. Please do not put items on the mats. This will make the Hoverboard
switch on, which could potentially cause injury to people, or damage to the
unit.
DISPLAY BOARD
The Display Board is located in the middle of the Hoverboard. It displays the
current information of the device.
BATTERY DISPLAY
A. A solid GREEN LED light indicates that the Hoverboard is fully charged
and ready to use. The ORANGE LED light indicates that the battery is low
and needs to be recharged. When the LED light becomes RED, the battery is
depleted and needs to be charged immediately.
B. Running LED: When the operator triggers the mat sensors, the running
LED will light up. GREEN means that the system has entered into a running
state. When the system has an error during operation, the running LED light
will turn RED.

SAFETY
We hope every user can drive their Hoverboard safely.
If you recall learning how to ride a bicycle, or learning how to ski or roller blade, the same
sensation applies to this vehicle.
1. Please follow the safety instructions in this manual. We strongly recommend that you read
the manual carefully before operating your Hoverboard for the first time. Check for tire
damage, loose parts, etc. before driving. If there are any abnormal situations, please contact
our Customer Service department immediately.
2. Do not use the Hoverboard incorrectly, as this may endanger the safety of persons or
property.
3. Do not open or modify the parts of the Hoverboard, as this may cause serious injury. There
are no user-serviceable parts in the Hoverboard.
WEIGHT LIMIT
The following two points are the reason we’ve set a weight limit for the Hoverboard:
1. To ensure the safety of the user.
2. To reduce damage due to overload.
• Maximum Load: 220 lbs. (100 kg)
• Minimum Load: 50.6 lbs. (23kg)
MAXIMUM DRIVING RANGE
The Hoverboard operates for a maximum of 14.9 miles. There are several factors that will affect
the driving range, such as:
Grade: A smooth, flat surface will increase the driving range, while an incline or hilly terrain will
reduce the range.
Weight: The weight of the driver can affect the driving range.
Ambient Temperature: Please ride and store the Hoverboard at the recommended temperature,
which will increase its driving range.
Maintenance: A consistent battery charge will help increase the range and the life of the battery.
Speed and Driving Style: Maintaining a moderate speed will increase the range. On the contrary,
frequent starting, stopping, acceleration and deceleration will reduce the range.
SPEED LIMIT
The Hoverboard has a top speed of 6.2mph (10 kmh). When the speed is close to the maximum
allowable speed, the buzzer alarm will ring. The Hoverboard will keep the user balanced up to the
maximum speed. If the speed exceeds the safety limit, the Hoverboard will automatically tilt the
driver back in order to reduce the speed to a safe rate.
HOW TO MOUNT

-5-
LEARNING TO DRIVE
STEP 1: Place the Hoverboard on a flat surface
STEP 2: To turn on your Hoverboard, press the Power Button
STEP 3: Put one foot on the pad. This will trigger the pedal switch and turn on the indicator light.
The system will automatically enter self-balancing mode. Next, place your other foot on the
other pad.
STEP 4: After standing up successfully, keep your balance and center of gravity stable while the
Hoverboard is in a stationary state. Make small forward or backward movements using your
entire body. DO NOT MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENTS.
DO NOT JUMP onto your Hoverboard. This will cause severe damage. Carefully step onto the
device only.
STEP 5: To turn left or right, lean your body in the direction you wish to go. Positioning your right
foot forward will turn the vehicle LEFT. Positioning your left foot forward will turn the vehicle
RIGHT.
STEP 6: Keep the Hoverboard balanced. Take one foot off the mat quickly, then remove the other
foot.
• Do not turn sharply
• Do not turn at high speeds
• Do not drive quickly on slopes
• Do not turn quickly on slopes
SAFE MODE
During operation, if there is a system error, the Hoverboard will prompt drivers in different ways.
An alarm indicator lights up, a buzzer sounds intermittently, and the system will not enter self-
balancing mode in these circumstances:
• If you get on the Hoverboard while the platform is tilted forwards or backwards
• If the battery voltage is too low
• If the Hoverboard is in charging mode
• If you are driving too fast
• If the battery has a short
• If the motor temperature is too high

-6-
In Protection Mode, the Hoverboard will turn off if:
• The platform is tilted forward or backward more than 35 degrees
• The tires are blocked
• The battery is too low
• There is a sustained high discharge rate during performance (such as driving up steep
slopes)
When the Hoverboard goes into Protection Mode (engine off), the system will halt. Press the foot
pad to unlock. Do not continue to drive the Hoverboard when the battery is exhausted, as this
may lead to injury or damage. Continued driving under low power will affect battery life.
PRACTICING DRIVING
Learn how to drive the Hoverboard in an open area until you can easily get on and off the device,
move forwards and backwards, turn, and stop.
• Dress in casual clothes and flat shoes
• Drive on flat surfaces
• Avoid crowded places
• Be aware of overhead clearance to avoid injury
SAFE DRIVING
Carefully read the following safety precautions prior to operating your Hoverboard:
• When you are driving the Hoverboard, make sure to take all necessary safety measures, such
as wearing a CPSC certified helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and other protective gear
• The Hoverboard should only be used for personal use and is not designed for commercial
applications, or for use on public roads or pathways
• You are prohibited from using the Hoverboard on any roadway. Check with your local
authorities to confirm where you can safely ride. Obey all laws that apply
• Do not allow children, the elderly, or pregnant women to ride the Hoverboard
• Do not drive the Hoverboard under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Do not carry items when driving your Hoverboard
