How to ride an electric unicycle

Learning to ride an electric unicycle takes between 5 minutes and a few days, depending on the person. It’s like learning to ride a bike again. It is advisable to take the basic training at the dealer who sold you the unicycle or under the guidance of an experienced rider. By scanning the QR code you will find a video to help you. It is essential that you wear a helmet, arm, knee and elbow protectors and ankle boots during your training and afterwards.

ALWAYS ride an electric unicycle with a helmet, arm, elbow and knee protection. We recommend the use of a helmet with chin protection and special protective clothing (motorcycle jacket and trousers) with back protection.
Direction signals must be signalled by hand, despite the fact that some unicycles have automatic direction lights.
- A right turn must be preceded by a right hand pointing with the straight hand, and a left turn with the left hand.
- Braking – the brake light on the wheel should be illuminated as a braking signal, and the signal may also be given by raising the right hand. While driving, in addition to noticing what is in front of you and what is on your side, you must also be aware of what is behind you. If looking back over your shoulder does not seem safe, you should strap on a helmet or pick up a rear-view mirror.
When riding in the dark or in poor visibility, make sure your electric unicycle has working lights and that you are clearly visible to other road users. To ensure better visibility, it is advisable to attach an additional front and rear light to your helmet in addition to the headlight of your electric unicycle and to wear a reflective vest or reflective clothing.
Before riding a unicycle, find an opportunity to learn and practice riding in a safe area. If necessary, use the assistance of an instructor. Before riding on public roads, make sure that you can react to unexpected situations by braking suddenly or swerving if necessary.
- WARNING! Braking abruptly or in a bend can cause loss of control, which can lead to serious injuries. serious injury. When driving, always ensure that your road is safe and drive at a speed appropriate to the driving conditions.
- Braking distances increase in wet driving conditions.
Before riding a unicycle, understand the laws, rules and restrictions that apply to unicyclists. Unless expressly permitted by traffic law, do not ride an electric unicycle on the road. When riding on the pavement (if permitted by traffic law), do not obstruct pedestrians and other light traffic and do not exceed the maximum speed limit.
The manufacturer, the importer and the distributor shall not be liable for any accident or its consequences, whatever the cause, including technical failure, during the use of the electric unicycle. An electric unicycle is an electronic device that may have a technical defect, even if it is new or has been directly inspected. It is the responsibility of the user of an electric unicycle to choose a riding style that will limit injuries and damage in the event of unexpected failure.

Charging

Before charging, turn off the unicycle. Plug the charger first into the wall and then connect it to the unicycle charging port
Charging from 0%-100% takes about 8 hours with the standard charger and about half that with two chargers.
It is recommended to charge your unicycle at room temperature.

WARNING!

DO NOT charge the unicycle if the charge port or power cord is wet.
DO NOT charge or use your battery if it is damaged or see a trace of water.
After charging always place the charging port cover back over the charging port.

Serial number

Veteran electric unicycles have a unique serial number. You are going to need this number when there is any problem or question you may have about your unicycle.
The serial number can be found on the rim of the unicycle motor or seen in the app.
Keep the serial number saved for future reference. You will also need the serial number in case you intend to have your unicycle insured.

Maintenance

Regularly check the condition of the tire and add pressure if necessary. The recommended pressure is between 2.5 and 3.0 bar, but it can be lower depending on the weight of the rider, driving style and tire type.
NOTE: Riding with lower pressure can cause a puncture or damage to the rim. DO NOT ride an electric unicycle if the tire is damaged or does not hold air.
Ensure that the unicycle shell and other components remain tightly together, especially after falls or impacts, and that there are no cracks in the casing or between parts of the casing where dust and moisture can damage the wheel. If they occur, the wheel should be serviced immediately and repaired if necessary.
Compared to an electric scooter, an electric unicycle is (with careful use) much more maintenance-free, as there are no components that can become loose, such as the handlebars, the folding mechanism and the brakes.
Nonetheless, there are also sensitive areas on the unicycle that require regular inspection and maintenance.
The maintenance intervals required for the warranty to be valid are 1) 300km since purchase. 2) Every 1000km or at least once a year – regular maintenance. The maintenance is carried out by the official maintenance partner Voltride Service (voltride.com).
Cleaning – Use a damp soft cloth to clean the electric unicycle. Use a brush to clean dirt that is difficult to remove. DO NOT use alcohol or any other solvents to clean the electric single wheel. DO NOT use a pressure washer or water to clean the electric unicycle. Also, do not immerse the electric unicycle in water. The electric unicycle is not waterproof. Water damage will void the warranty.
Storage – Switch off the electric unicycle and disconnect the charger for storage. Ensure that the battery is approximately 50-60% charged. Check the battery charge level at least once every two months. If it has dropped, recharge the battery until it is about 50-60% charged. Store the electric unicycle in a dry room at a temperature of about 15-25°C.
WARNING! As with any mechanical component, the electric unicycle is subject to stress and wear during use. Different materials and components age and wear differently. If the expected service life of a component is exceeded, it may break unexpectedly, causing injury to the user. Cracks, scratches and discolouration indicate that a part under high stress has exceeded its service life and should be replaced. Such latent defects are checked during regular maintenance. At the same time, the user must also watch for such defects and service the wheel if necessary.

WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury and/or void warranty!
Be familiar with and take into account the overload and other protection functions and warnings programmed into the bike’s software:
Speed and acceleration limit according to rider weight, battery capacity and charge.
Automatic switch-off if the unicycle’s side inclination exceeds 45 degrees.
Overheating protection. Control system max 85° and power system max 100°.
Power short circuit protection.
Battery over-voltage or undervoltage protection. Alarm at 78V, tilt back at 75.6V.
DO NOT rely solely on the above wheel protection measures – you are primarily responsible for your own safety.
When the battery charge has dropped to 60%, avoid sudden accelerations and avoid riding at the maximum speed allowed by the wheel at that moment
the performance and safety of an electric unicycle is directly related to the battery charge level, which will decrease significantly as the battery is discharged
