1. Product Overview
1.1
General Information
The original TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 is an Intelligent Personal Mobility
Device. This
device is an intuitive, technologically advanced solution that
provides
the user personal transportation based on dynamic balancing
principles
calculating the user’s center of gravity using gyroscope and
acceleration
sensors. Using the latest technology and production
processes, each TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 undergoes strict testing for
quality and durability. With it’s
lightweight, portable design, ease of use,
range, and low carbon
footprint, the TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 is the
Ultimate Last Mile Solution.
1.2
What You Need to Know
Before you first experience your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2, please read
the USER
MANUAL thoroughly and learn the basics to ensure your
safety and the
safety of others. It is highly recommended that your
initial TAB | WHEELS GEN 2
experience be with a spotter who can
assist you in centering your
balance. Once you keep your center of
gravity even, you will be able to
stand on the TAB | WHEELS GEN 2
without moving, similar to standing on the
ground. The most important
thing to do is stay relaxed and confident.
The TAB | WHEELS GEN 2
is very intuitive and senses the slightest motion, so
finding your center
of balance is key. Step on quickly, confidently, and
evenly, but remember
to keep your body quiet. Please refrain from
flaying your arms, leaning
too far forward and/or backwards, or stepping
on your TAB | WHEELS
GEN 2 unevenly, as this will cause you to lose control and
increase
your probability of injury. Please follow the detailed directions
outlined in
the USER MANUAL in Section 3 under Operating Principles.
1.3
WARNING
Failure to follow the basic instructions and safety precautions
listed in the USER MANUAL, can lead to damage to your TAB |

2. Product Description
2.1
Description of TAB | WHEELS GEN 2
The TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 is a technologically advanced Personal
Mobility Device.
It has two Wheels that balance and transport the
user using battery
powered brushless motors. The TAB | WHEELS GEN
2 uses digital gyroscope
modules and acceleration sensors to calculate
the user’s center of
gravity and move the device accordingly. The TAB |
WHEELS GEN 2 can move
forwards, backwards, turn in either direction
or turn in place. The
compact footprint and zero degree turning radius
allow you to enjoy
your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 both indoors and
outdoors.

A. Operating Principles
A.1
How TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 Works
The TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 uses digital electronic gyroscopes and
acceleration
sensors to control balance and motion intelligently,
depending on the
user’s center of gravity. The device also uses an
intelligent control
system to drive the brushless motors that are located
within the Wheels.
The TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 has a built-in inertia
dynamic stabilization system that
can help assist with balance when
moving forward and backwards, but
not while turning.
TIP -To increase your stability, you must shift your weight in order to
overcome the centrifugal force during turns, especially when entering a
turn at higher speeds.
A.2
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Step 1: Getting Started - Take your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 out of the
box and place
it flat on the floor. Press and hold the power button, located
on the front
of your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 until you hear beep sound.
There are two sensor switches under the pedals of TAB | WHEELS GEN
2, when the user steps on them, the sensors are activated, TAB |
WHEELS GEN 2 will automatically adjust to the equilibrium state; when
rider get off from TAB | WHEELS GEN 2, sensors are deactivating, and
TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 enter into standby mode.
Step 2: Checking the Display Board - located in the center of your
TAB | WHEELS GEN 2.
The Battery indicator lights should be lit,
indicating there is power to the
device.

!
!
7!
!
!
• Battery status Indicator: The Green LED light indicates the
TAB | WHEELS GEN 2
is fully charged, the Yellow LED light
indicates the power is under 50%, and the red LED light indicates
the power is under 20%. When flashing red, please recharge the
device right away and please do not operate.
• Running Indicator: When the operator triggers the rubber foot
mats, the Running Indicator LED will light up, which means that
the
system enters the running state; when the system has an error
during operation, the running LED light will turn red and you will
hear the system alert you with a beep.
Step 3: Charging your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 - Make sure the TAB |
WHEELS GEN 2 is fully
charged before your initial use. For charging
instructions, please follow
details in Section 8 under Battery and
Charging Specifications.
Step 4: Safety Gear - Wear all proper safety gear, including, but not
limited to a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards

!
!
8!
!
!
Step 5: Stepping On -Stand directly behind your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2.
Place one
foot on the Rubber Foot Mat, keeping the instep of your foot
where it’
s far left
the rubber mat (as described below).
Otherwise, your device will begin to move, making it difficult to step on
evenly with your other foot.
When you are ready, shift your weight to the foot already placed on the
device and step on with your second foot quickly and evenly (as
described in
the diagram below).
TIP– Stay relaxed and step on quickly, confidently and evenly 1-2. Many
people overthink this step, imagine climbing a stair, one foot, then the
other.
Once your feet are even, try to look up.
For more details, please watch the video on how to step on TAB | WHEELS

GEN 2 on www.tabwheels.com
Step 6: Staying Balanced - Find your center of gravity. If your weight is
distributed correctly on the foot mats, and your center of gravity is level,
you should be able to stand on your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2, just as if
you were
standing on the ground. IF NOT, you may feel like you are
moving in a
particular direction, turning, spinning in place, wobbling
back and forth,
or simply uncomfortable with the device.
NOTE – On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get
comfortable
standing on the TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 and maintaining
proper
balance. Having a spotter will help you feel more
secure. The TAB |
WHEELS GEN 2 is an incredibly intuitive device; it
senses even the
slightest bit of motion, so having any
anxiety or reservation about
stepping on may cause you to
panic and trigger movement that is not
otherwise natural
to you. The best way to overcome that initial anxiety is
by
having a spotter.
TIP – Stay relaxed, stand evenly, and apply an equal amount of
pressure on both sides of the device. Relax your muscles as much as
you can. Taking a deep breath and exhaling can help you achieve this.
Slightly bending your knees can also help. Once you can stand IDLE
and STOP, you are ready for the next step.
When you first begin using your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2, the fastest way
to move in
your desired direction is to focus in that direction. You will
notice that
just thinking about which way you would like to go will shift
your center
of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that
direction.

Step 7: Riding your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 - Keeping in mind what
we learned in
Step 6, apply the following general principles to the
operation of your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2.
/
I
\
TO MOVE BACKWARDS
TO STOP
TO MOVE FORWARDS
Notice in the diagram above, your center of gravity determines
which direction you move, accelerate, decelerate, and come to a
complete stop.
TIP - Try staying relaxed and focus on finding your center of gravity to
maintain full control. Tilt your center of gravity in the direction you wish
to move. To turn, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay
relaxed. The more comfortable you get on the TAB | WHEELS GEN 2,
the easier you
will maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is
necessary to shift your
weight to overcome the centrifugal force. For
bumps or uneven roads,
bend your knees.

!
!
11!
!
!
Step 8: The Dismount - Stepping off of the TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 can
be one of the
easiest steps, yet when done improperly, may cause you
to fall. To
properly dismount, from a stopped position, lift one leg up and
set your
foot back down on the ground (STEPPING BACK). Then step off
completely.
NOTE - A common error is to try and step forward.
TIP – make sure to lift your leg completely off to clear the device when
stepping back, otherwise you can get sent into a tailspin.
