4. Product Function Introduction
4.1. Pull-Up Handle and Assist Mode
The assist mode enables the system to provide proper riding force at a lower power to help users push the unicycle easily when users are
unwilling to ride or when the condition is not suitable for riding (for instance, insufficient electric quantity, steep slope, wet and slippery
ground, sand, bumpy road, crowded environment, etc.).
Press the button in the middle of the handle. Lift it up. The handle comes up to the highest position. Release the button in the middle. The
handle automatically locks. Push the unicycle body. The unicycle enters to the assist mode at this time. Use the same method to release the
handle.
INMOTION SCV are designed with special handles along with the assist mode matching the unicycle bodies, and thus the users will feel
very relaxed and convenient during riding and pushing.
4.2. Anti-spinning Button
Due to the unique algorithm of V8, if the body angle varies after the unicycle body lifts off the ground under normal startup state, it will

4.3. Rapid Battery Removal
INMOTION SCV V8 are designed with unique rapid removal. The batteries can be easily replaced when operating as shown in the figure
below (Phillips screwdrivers are required).
Steps:
1. Loosen the two screws under
the pedal first;
2. Put the pedal away, and remove
the shell as shown in the figure;
3. Loosen the battery lock screw
to pull out the battery cable, and
remove the battery afterwards.
lead to motor spinning acceleration until the unicycle shuts down. If being placed on the ground during motor acceleration, the unicycle
will be likely to fly off due to the friction between wheels and ground, and there will a risk of running into others in some cases, such as at
elevators, stairs, getting on or off the bus, or in crowed places.
The anti-spinning button below the body handle is designed to readjust V8 and bring it back to normal condition. When the user holds
the handle to lift up the unicycle, the key will be automatically triggered, and the unicycle will enter the sleep state. In the meantime, the
motor will no longer rotate to avoid spinning. Remove your hand from the handle key to let the unicycle fall to the ground again. The
unicycle will then return to normal condition for continual use.
The anti-spinning function is on by default when V8 leaves the factory. You need to shut down this function on the mobile APP if installing
the learning rope for operation on the handle. Users need to know the above functions and agree to accept the relevant legal liability
statements when using this function.

11
4.4. Overspeed Protection
INMOTION SCV V8 restricts the maximum riding speed to avoid the dangers caused by riding too fast. When the unicycle riding speed
comes close to the maximum speed set by the system, the pedal will slightly tilt up 3~5° accompanied by an alarm sound. Users must slow
down at this time. Do not accelerate forcibly (there is a risk of crashing if performing forced acceleration. Personal injuries and all losses
caused by failure to operate according to the manual shall be borne by the users themselves). The pedal will return to normal angle once
returning to normal speed.
When the electric quantity is less than 40%, the maximum speed limit will reduce gradually. When the electric quantity comes up to or is
lower than the minimum riding voltage (10%), the unicycle body will automatically tilt up the pedal to give the user the indication to stop
riding, otherwise it will cause damage to the unicycle.
4.5. Over-temperature Protection
INMOTION created a protective mechanism to avoid excessive battery temperature when the unicycle operates under heavy load for too
long. When the battery reaches the temperature limit, the unicycle will indicate overload and the pedals will turn up. Once the unicycle is
powered off, it is not able to immediately turn on. Users are required to wait 15 minutes before turning on the unicycle.
4.6. Slant Protection
When the unicycle body is tilted more than 55° in either direction during riding, the system will automatically exit the self-balancing mode
in order to prevent any personal injuries caused by the high-speed rotating tires after the tilting of the unicycle body. The unicycle will then
play a prompt tone to signal to the rider the unicycle body needs to be corrected in order to automatically re-enter the self-balancing
mode.
4.7. Digital Bluetooth
INMOTION SCV is equipped with built-in digital Bluetooth 4.0 BLE module, which is used for interacting with the vehicles connected with
the INMOTION APP.
The name of the Bluetooth 4.0 BLE of INMOTION SCV is V8-XXXXXXXX. XXXXXXXX refers to the last 8 digitals of the product serial number.

12
BLE Bluetooth needs to be connected via the INMOTION APP instead of the built-in settings of mobile phones. The initial password of
Bluetooth connection via the INMOTION APP is 000000. INMOTION SCV can be added and controlled after entering the password. (Only
the owner of the INMOTION SCV has the authority of Bluetooth password modification. The user can only modify the password of this
unicycle after the authentication of the unicycle owner.)
After the user enters the unicycle owner authentication, click to enter the “Unicycle Status” interface of the INMOTION APP. Select the
option of “Password Modification” to modify the Bluetooth password.
4.8. Colorful Atmosphere Lamp
INMOTION SCV V8 are equipped with colorful atmosphere lamps. Users can not only switch different display lamp effects via the APP, but
also make animation effects on the APP on their own. When the colorful atmosphere lamp breaks down, it becomes red and flashes for
indication. Please download the APP and read the production tutorials for detailed description.
Turn off /on the atmosphere lamp
Press the button under the handlebar and hold the power button at the same time. When hearing “ toot” , it operates successfully.
4.9. Voice Prompts
INMOTION SCV V8 are equipped with the voice prompts with high fidelity. When the unicycle operations or unicycle bodies are abnormal,
the unicycles will give out voice prompts. Users can also custom-make the voices, switch themes, adjust volume, turn on or off the unicycles
with the use of INMOTION APP. If there is voice loss or noise, users can use INMOTION APP to download the voices again.
4.10. INMOTION APP
INMOTION APP is mobile software designed for INMOTION users by INMOTION Technologies Co., Ltd to utilize unicycle control, make
friends, release articles, attend INMOTION activities and purchase accessories. The English name of INMOTION APP is INMOTION respec-
tively. INMOTION APP can be downloaded from our official website or corresponding APP stores (Apple App Store and Google Play).
The following functions can be utilized through INMOTION APP: startup/shutdown, turn on/off the light, speed display, mileage display,
electric quantity display, unicycle body parameter setting, voice customization, fault detection, after-sales service, firmware upgrade, etc.

5. How to Use INMOTION SCV V8
5.1. Preparations before riding
INMOTION SCV V8 is a high-tech travel and commuting device. Riding without learning about operating specifications may cause
unpredictable injuries and property losses. The instructions given below are made for users, and contain details about how to correctly ride
V8. Matters needing attention during riding are also listed. Please read them carefully and ride V8 in accordance with the instructions.
·Make sure that all parts of V8 are free from damage and installed properly before riding.
·Continuously charge the batteries of V8 for more than 3h before riding.
·You can practice riding in an open indoor or outdoor area that is flat and wide, and covers at least 13.12 ft x 13.12 ft.
·Make sure that you know the surrounding riding environment well so that the unicycle is free from the disturbance of cars, pedestrians,
pets, bikes and other obstacles.
·You need a skilled assistant who is familiar with the operation of V8 as well as all the precautions and riding methods described in this
manual by your side.
·Do not perform trial ride on slippery and wet fields.
·Please wear comfortable sportswear and flats, and do warm-ups to maintain body flexibility as far as possible.
·Put on safety helmet and protective gear to avoid injuries.
5.2. Operating Steps for Beginners
·Hold the unicycle body, and make sure that it is vertical to the ground after startup.
·Open the pedals on both sides. Step one foot on one side of the pedal. The sole of the foot should be on the center of the pedal.
·The upper body should be naturally upright, and the eyes should look straight ahead. Tilt the center of your body weight to the other side
of the pedal. Try to get the other foot off the ground to look for the balance point.
·Gradually begin to slowly slide forward by single-foot support, until the unicycle can keep sliding for a long time with one foot on the
pedal.
·After keeping the center of gravity balanced when sliding with one foot, you can step both feet on the pedals. Relax the lower legs on both

14
sides to ensure the balanced riding.
·Your body will go through temporary imbalance during practice, which is very easy to cause the slant of the unicycle body. It is necessary
to lean on railings or walls while practicing to help you keep your body in balance. You can also practice with the support of a friend and
learn how to ride the unicycle step by step. After being gradually familiar with how to steadily ride straight forward, you can try to change
directions by adjusting the your center of body weight or by controlling your feet to twist around.
