GYROCOPTERS SELF BALA\CING HOVERBOARD
USER MANUAL
Before You Begin
Before You Begin
Before learning to ride your hoverboard, you must read and follow all
instructions and warnings in this user manual. It is important that you follow
all safety warnings and cautions that appear throughout the user manual and
that you use good judgment when you ride your hoverboard.
The Risk of Injury
The hoverboard is a self-balancing, personal hoverboard that uses balancing
technology. Balancing technology cannot prevent injury if you do not ride the
hoveroard safely. Whenever you ride the hoverboard, it may result in serious
injury or death from loss of control, collisions, and fails. To reduce risk of
injury, you must read and follow all instructions and warnings in the user
manual.
Disposal and Storage Disposal of according to local laws.
Helmet Safety!
Always wear a properly fitted helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards

- On your device, locate the Bluetooth® device list. Select “Gyrocopters” from the list.
Resetting Bluetooth® Memory
To reset Bluetooth® Memory, resetting the hoverboard is needed, Refer to
typesetting the hoverboard (page 4).
Riding Your Hoverboard
Before riding, make sure your hoverboard is fully assembled and charged, and
inspect your hoverboard before each use. Do not ride if any part is loose or
damaged. The hoverboard is highly maneuverable and allows you to easily
navigate around obstacles. However, to prevent the loss of traction, you must
always be careful when riding and learn to identify and avoid unsafe surfaces.
Slippery, icy, or wet surfaces, loose materials (sand/gravel), steep slopes,
and obstacles might affect the hoverboard’s performance. Familiarize yourself
with the indicator lights that may be displayed on the hoverboard.
Step 1. Power ON the hoverboard by pressing the power button, and make
sure the Battery Status Indicator light is on.
NOTE The hoverboard comes with the No-Fall Technology mode turned on.
This feature keeps the board upright whether you are standing on it or not. To
turn off this feature, make sure the hoverboard is off. Now double-click the
power button when turning it on (tap twice in quick succession). You will hear
the normal power-on beep tone, followed by a longer beep tone. The No-Fall
Technology mode is now turned off.
Step 2: Getting on the Hoverboard
- Place one foot on the foot mat, keeping your weight on the foot that’s still on the ground to prevent unwanted movements from the hoverboard, making it difficult to step on.
- When ready, shift your weight to the foot placed on the hoverboard, stepping on with your second foot quickly and evenly.
- Once on, find your center of gravity by trying to stand on the hoverboard as if you were standing on the ground. On average it takes 3-5 mins to get comfortable standing on the hoverboard before getting into movements. Having a spotter will help you feel more secure.
Step 3: Moving forward and backward
- Keep Hoverboard still by remaining level when standing on it.
- SLIGHTLY lean your body forward or backward to enable the hoverboard to move forward or backward respectively.
NOTE: When the hoverboard is unable to achieve a balanced position, an alarm will sound and trigger the Warning Indicator light. The hoverboard will return to a balanced position automatically. During this process, you should not step or ride the hoverboard.
- Body leaning should be done in small increments. Only small leaning angles are needed to drive the hoverboard forward or backward.
- Leaning forward or backward too much can affect riding safety.
- Do not turn while in high speeds to avoid dangerous situations.
- The hoverboard balances front to back but not side-to-side. Avoid riding across steep slopes. 2
Step 4: Steering the Hoverboard
Step 5: Getting off the
Hoverboard
Make sure the hoverboard is completely stopped and stable before stepping off.
Step off the hoverboard one foot at a time.
Safety Alerts
While operating, the hoverboard can alert users if there are any
irregularities in the system. If the hoverboard detects a fault in any of its
redundant systems or the batteries are depleted beyond the limit, it
automatically slows down the motors. Flashes warning indicator light emits a
warning tone and disables self-balancing mode.
Here are some reasons that will trigger the Warning Indicator Light:
— Irregular platform angle
— Low Battery Voltage
— Plugged in and Charging
— Platform distortion while riding (System Shutdown)
— Speed Limited reached
— Platform angle is greater than 35 degrees, (System Shutdown)
— Wheels get stuck
— Electrical Current Surge
- Risk of Fire, No User Serviceable Parts
- Do not get back on the hoverboard until the condition that caused the warning alert has been identified and corrected.
- Never restart and ride your hoverboard after it has indicated an empty Battery condition or shut down due to low Battery. The hoverboard may not have enough power to keep you balanced. If you restart and continue riding, you risk failing. Also, you risk damaging your batteries, resulting in reduced battery life and capacity.
Driving Safely
When riding the hoverboard you risk serious injury from loss of control,
collisions, and fails. It is your responsibility to learn how to safely ride
the hoverboard in order to reduce this risk. To ride safely you must follow
all instructions in the user material, including the user manual.

clothing that can catch in the tires, and prevent proper steering.

– Avoid obstacles and surfaces that could result in a loss of balance or
traction and cause a fall
– Use caution when riding over any terrain change such as pavement to sand,
grass, or speed bumps.
– Avoid riding across steep slopes, and maintain both tires in contact with
the ground.

and slow down to walking speed when passing, and pass on the left whenever
possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and
slow down.
– In heavy pedestrian traffic conditions, slow down and proceed at the pace of
pedestrian traffic. Pass only if there is ample space to do so safely. Do not
weave in and out of pedestrian traffic.
– When riding with other hoverboard riders, maintain a safe distance, identify
hazards and obstacles, and do not ride side-by-side unless there is plenty of
room left for pedestrians.
– Crossroads at designated crosswalks or signaled intersections. Do not
jaywalk/ride.
– Only travel on a road when a pedestrian way is not available or when
sidewalk use is not allowed. Do not ride your hoverboard on private property
(inside or outside) unless you have obtained permission to do so.
