Chapter I Introduction of 2 Wheel Balance Scooter

The working principle of the 2 Wheel Balance Scooter is based on the basic principle called

"dynamic stability" which is the automatic balance ability of the scooter itself. After judging body posture position with a built-in precision solid gyroscope, the vehicles electronic brain

3

works out proper instructions through a sophisticated and high-speed central microprocessor, the 72V-8.8Ah battery drives the motor to balance the scooter.

As a new transporter,it is hard to classify the 2 wheel balance scooter in the traditional way, some people think that the balance scooter should be a kind of double-wheeled unicycle, while other people think it should be classed as a power stand-up scooter, with its uniaxial double design which is different from the traditional biaxial double scooter, for official road regulations, this transporter is called electric personal assistive mobility device (EPAMD).

The 2 wheel balance scooter is equipped with dual wheels. Its width is as narrow as a normal adult shoulder's width. It is 48 kg and battery-propelled. It is not necessary to have a brake or throttle during driving. When the drivers lean their body forward, balance scooter will run forward, when the body is upright, it will stop. It uses the dynamic balance principle, just like the body changes the center of gravity to keep balance. When people stand still, it will lose balance if their body lean forward, but the brain's natural instinct will tell them to move their feet to keep balance. This balance scooter uses wheels to replace the function of the feet, reproducing the high precision balance action of a human with lower cost.

The energy comes from three rechargeable lithium battery which is no need to be maintained. If the battery power is full,it can run continuously about 2-3 hours. The max driving mileage depends on your driving skills and ground conditions, driving on grass and slopes will consume more power.

Chapter V Driving

Driving the 2 wheel balance scooter is totally different from any other transporter you drove before. Balance scooter does not have a brake, accelerator or gear system. Please read the user manual carefully or get professional instruction from other experienced person before your first driving.

Driving balance scooter is very enjoyable and fun.you will not help yourself driving it whenever you get the chance after you drove it. Below instructions will be helpful for your nice driving.

Picture 12 Picture 13 2. Driving Straight Forward

Lean your body forward slowly(the center of gravity), balance scooter will move forward

(refer to picture 14). The driving speed is controlled by the leaning angle of your body. the more you lean the faster the scooter will go, the less the slower.

Please adjust your driving,when you hear long sound alarm beep(short and urgent),the pedal arises and steering pipe pull back,it means that scooter reach max speed.Please don’t speed up or slow down,do not try to continue lean forward.

Balance scooter is controlled by the center of gravity of body,so please lean your body forward,not push the steering pipe of scooter forward with your hand.If you push the steering pipe of scooter forward too much,scooter will make sound alarm(even your driving speed is very slow).

For a stable driving, we suggest leaning forward slowly. It is dangerous for lean forward suddenly and urgently too much.(Scooter will make sound alarm,because the momentary speed is easy to reach the max speed). This is just like sudden acceleration when driving a car.

3. Braking, Driving Backward

Driving backward is not recommended for the driver's safety, because it is hard for you to see behind when driving .Turning radius of balance scooter in zero, which you can easily achieve in a continuous spin around 360 degrees on the spot.

When you drive forward in a straight line and you want to slow down or stop, you can lean backward or squat down (the center of gravity backward). Lean slowly or smoothly backward is helpful for slowing down and stopping safely (refer to picture 15).

4. Turning in Original Place, Turn Around and Rotate 360 Degrees

It is easy to turn the balance scooter when driving. Keep the steering pipe bar left-forward or right-forward to the end, at the same time adjust your body left-forward or right-forward. (Refer to picture 16 and 17).Thus you can easily achieve various turns. When the balance scooter turn to the right position, you only need return the pipe to the original position and stand straight,balance scooter will stop.

Picture 16 Picture 17 5. Turning in Driving

Balance scooter's turning range is calculated automatically according to the driving speed.

The speed is faster, the turn range will be less. It will be better for adjusting your body according to turning steering pipe when you want turn around in driving.To turn left, the steering pipe should be swung smoothly to the left at the same time as your body leans left. The angle of balance scooter's turning is decided by the swinging angle of the steering pipe and the leaning of your body.

Tip: Please turn steering pipe slowly and smoothly in driving when you want turn around.It will be better if you adjust your body correspondingly.Please DO NOT turn steering pipe too much and urgently in driving,it is very dangerous,because you will be flied down by inertia of scooter.

2. Fastening Nut of Tire

Pay attention to the big nut on the wheel. Check regularly to see if it is loose. If so, tighten the nuts with a 21mm spanner to 108 torque.

3. Maintenance of Tire

The tires are tubeless.The normal air pressure is the basic conditions to guarantee your safe driving .The standard tire pressure is 100 kpa, that is what we recommend. It is necessary to check the tire pressure regularly. Under inflation and excessive inflation will cause unequal tire wear, which influences comfort and mileage and shorten the life of tire, under-inflated tires also influence power saving.

Also check for cuts and splits which could cause the tire to deflate at a rapid rate, causing injury to the rider.
