How to Ride a Hoverboard

Before riding make sure your hoverboard is fully assembled and charged. Do not use it if any part is loose and damaged. The hoverboard is highly maneuverable and allows you to easily navigate around obstacles. However, to prevent the loss of traction, be careful to riding and learn to identify and avoid unsafe surfaces. Familiarize with the LED indicator, and wear appropriate clothing and shoes with rubber soles. Ride in an open environment free of obstacles, with a flat ans regular surfaces. Helmet, Knee pads and other protective and equipments are not obligatory, but still strongly recommended for your sense of security and for protection against injuries.

Step 1: Turning on the TwoDots Hoverboard

• Place the hoverboard on the ground & push the power button to turn it on.

Step 2: Getting on

• Place your dominant foot on the footboard.
• The Balance LED indicator will turn on, activating the self-balancing system (don't worry if one wheel moves, it means the self-balancing system is working correctly ).
• Quickly place the other foot on the other footboard. With practice getting on and off the hoverboard will become a natural gesture, but if possible, during your first trials, try to be assisted by someone in order to feel safer.

Once on the board, learn to stay still. Find the balance point and try to keep the hoverboard in place for at least 30": it is important to understand how to balance and how the vehicle reacts to the movements of your body.

Step 3: Moving forwards and backwards

• Don't be firm on your knees and keep a relaxed posture: use your ankles rather than your knees to lean your body.
• To move forwards, SLIGHTLY lean your body forwards. To move backwards and to brake, SLIGHTLY lean your body backwards.

NOTE: when the hoverboard cannot achieve a stable position, an alarm will sound and trigger the Warning LED indicator. The hoverboard will automatically return to the original balanced position: during this process, do not ride the vehicle.

Body leaning should be done in small increments: only small leaning angles are needed to operate the hover- board.

Overbalancing backwards or forwards may affect your safety during the ride.

Step 4: Turning left or right

• To rotate clockwise, slightly tilt your left foot forward and your right foot backward.
• To rotate counter-clockwise, slightly tilt your right foot forward and your left foot back- ward.

CAUTION:

• Do not turn suddenly while riding at high speed.
• The hoverboard balances itself front to back, not side to side: avoid riding on steep slopes.

Step 5: Getting Off

When the hoverboard is completely still, step back and place your first non- dominant foot on the ground and than the other one. Like when you get on for the first time, getting off could be bit awkward; do it support from someone and get off without leaving too much between the movement of the two feet.
