INTRODUCTION
This manual will help you understand, set up and safely use the Razor® Sonic
Glow™ Hovertrax™ . It is important that you adhere to all safety warnings and
cautions that appear throughout and that you use good judgment when riding, so
keep reading!
A SPECIAL TECHNOLOGY, WITH NEW CONCEPTS FOR CONTROL AND SAFETY
As is obvious the first time you see it, the Razor Sonic Glow Hovertrax is
different from things you may have ridden before. No handlebars. No front or
rear wheel. No brake. The new Sonic Glow Hovertrax is such a product, and it
moves, which means if you are interested in riding it you should be interested
in learning how to do that properly – and if you are interested in minimizing
the risk of falling off or being injured, you should be very interested in
focusing on how to ride this product as safely as possible. Helping you do
that is the goal of this manual and other warnings. THIS SONIC GLOW HOVERTRAX,
LIKE RAZOR’S OTHER EXISTING HOVERTRAX PRODUCTS MOVES AND YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE YOUR FUN AND MINIMIZE RISKS
OF INJURY PRESENTED BY RIDING THIS NEW MOVING PRODUCT.
MOVEMENT OF THE RAZOR SONIC GLOW HOVERTRAX IS CONTROLLED BY THE ANGLE OF THE
FOOT PLATFORMS, WHICH IS DETERMINED BY PRESSURE APPLIED BY THE RIDER’S FEET ON
THE PLATFORMS.
Different? Well, yes, the Sonic Glow Hovertrax is “different.” It is an
electrically motorized, computerized, gyroscopically balance-assisted,
independently articulated, dual-platform two-wheeled personal mobility system.
If that sounds unlike any bicycle, scooter, Rustic, roller skate or water ski
you have ever used, you’re on the right track. However, the Razor Sonic Glow
Hovertrax does not operate “magically”, and it does not fly, float or
disappear. Its movements are not controlled remotely, or by the rider’s
brainwaves or earnest good wishes, and it has neither a steering wheel, nor a
brake, nor external stabilizers of any kind. Yet it can go, stop, turn and
back up – and all of this is controlled solely by the rider’s feet moving at
angles relative to the ground. THIS IS CRUCIAL TO RECOGNIZE AND TO REMEMBER AT
ALL TIMES. The angle of your feet – forward, level or rearward – on each foot
platform is how Sonic Glow Hovertrax receives, processes and executes
instructions from the rider. This will affect the operation of the Razor Sonic
Glow Hovertrax far more than leaning or “shifting body weight” alone.
WARNING: Read this manual – including both “Safety Warnings” (pages 2-3)
and “How to Operate” (pages 7-11) and learn to ride safely!
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Whenever you ride the Sonic Glow Hovertrax you risk serious
injury or death from collisions, falls or loss of control. To ride safely, YOU
MUST READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL.
WARNING: Riding any electric product can be a hazardous activity.
Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the
manufacturer. Like other electric ride-on products, the Razor Sonic Glow
Hovertrax can and is intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose
control, fall off and/or get into dangerous situations that no amount of care,
instruction or expertise can eliminate. If such things occur you can be
seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other
precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING: Failure t o read and understand “How to Operate” section of this
manual (pages 7-11) increases risk of injury due to falls or other incidents.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 8 OR HEAVIER THAN 176 LB (80 KG). DO
NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 176 lb (80 kg) – including backpacks and other
items that might be carried. Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider
and damage the Razor Sonic Glow Hovertrax. Rider weight alone also does not
necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of
the Razor Sonic Glow Hovertrax. Keep this product away from small children and
remember
that this product is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum,
completely comfortable and competent while operating the product.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 8 not be permitted to use this
product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight or height – it
reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well as physical
size. The recommended rider age of 8 years or older is only an estimate and
can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every rider 8
years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider unable
to fit comfortably on the Razor Sonic Glow Hovertrax should not attempt to
ride it, but a parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this
product should be based on the child’s maturity, skill, and ability to follow
rules. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard
Razor’s recommendations or permit
younger children to ride the Razor Sonic Glow Hovertrax.
Because products, like the Razor Sonic Glow Hovertrax, can and do present
potential hazards plainly associated with their use, it is well recognized THE
NEED FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS
PPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A RIDER, OR PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN
WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS
IMPORTANT. Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of rider,
and recommendations are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the
expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a rider to cope with the
hazards.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them susceptible
to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities to
recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions, and to be able to
understand the hazards inherent in a product’s use, should not use or be
permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with
heart conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these
areas of the body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate this
product.

HOW TO OPERATE
HOW IT WORKS
The Sonic Glow Hovertrax responds to the rider’s foot movements. Remember
this. The Sonic Glow Hovertrax moves due to fore and aft foot platform tilt
caused by the rider’s foot (or feet).
Movement, speed, and stopping are controlled by the degree to which the
rider’s feet cause the foot platforms of the Sonic Glow Hovertrax to no longer
be parallel to the ground.
When the product is “ON”, the gyroscopic mechanized balancing feature of the
Sonic Glow Hovertrax tries to keep the foot platforms of the product parallel
to the ground. In use, Sonic Glow Hovertrax then detects changes from “level”
which are caused by fore and aft pressure on the foot platform(s) applied by
the rider’s feet. Such changes are interpreted by the Sonic Glow Hovertrax as
instructions to make the wheels move. Sonic Glow Hovertrax tries to re-level a
forward tilt by accelerating, and tries to level a rearward tilt by
decelerating.
PERIODIC RECALIBRATION IS RECOMMENDED
The Sonic Glow Hovertrax self-balancing features are calibrated to function
with a detected “resting position” that is level. Over time and usage,
recalibration may be needed to assure “level” status. If inaccurate
calibration persists, this could affect the operation of the unit by sending
instructions to the motor(s) to move that may differ from the intended motion.
To calibrate the product (see page 5 for additional information):
- Turn power OFF.
- Manually adjust the platforms so they are parallel to the ground.
- Turn power ON and HOLD until it beeps and lights flash (approximately 15-20 seconds).
- Turn power back OFF.
- Calibration complete.
Once the product has been calibrated, no matter what position (angle) the
platforms are in when it is turned off, the platforms will automatically self-
balance themselves back to the calibrated position when turned on.
MOVING AND CHANGING DIRECTION:
When a rider stands on the Sonic Glow Hovertrax with an evenly weighted foot
that is “level” on either foot platform:
- Pressing toes on both feet downward moves Sonic Glow Hovertrax forward.
- Pressing heels on both feet downward moves Sonic Glow Hovertrax backward.
- Turns are done by putting more downward pressure on the front side of the foot platform on the outside of the turn.
- A rider can spin in place by pushing downward on the front edge of one foot platform while simultaneously pushing downward on the rear edge of the other foot platform.
ACCELERATING AND STOPPING:
- To go faster or to slow down, press the foot platforms at a greater angle for “more” and reduce the angles for “less”.
- When slowing or stopping, if you continue to apply force to the edges opposite the direction of travel, you may not only stop but continue on to reverse your direction.
How does this happen? The fundamental principle is that the Sonic Glow
Hovertrax is designed to be “at rest” when the foot platforms are level – and
the gyroscopic mechanized balancing feature detects the “levelness” of the
product. This same feature detects foot movements that cause a foot platform
to no longer be “level” and it interprets these changes as orders to move.
That’s it. That’s how it works. It does what your feet tell it to do, and the
product “self-balances” itself in order to be ready to detect and implement
the instructions provided by a rider’s feet.
Understanding this principle is important for obvious reasons. It also
suggests some obvious warnings for riding the Sonic Glow Hovertrax, such as:
- Do not jump up and down on it: If you remove a foot (or both feet), then land back on the Sonic Glow Hovertrax and cause the foot platform(s) to change position relative to “level” in any degree, the machine could and will react by moving immediately in response to an “instruction”, which can result in loss of rider stability, balance or control.
- Shifting Weight Alone is not the Issue: Do not presume that shifting weight alone controls motion – or, for that matter, that not shifting weight equals “stability”. Shifting of rider weight may be associated with increase or decrease of foot pressures on the foot platforms, but it is the action of the feet on the foot platforms which instructs Sonic Glow Hovertrax to move. Conversely, if you were to shift your weight without altering the placement or angle of your feet, so that the foot platforms remain level, the Sonic Glow Hovertrax does not receive any “signal” to interpret.
Note: Do not lift the Sonic Glow Hovertrax off the ground when it is
turned on. Do not turn on the Sonic Glow Hovertrax in mid-air.
Riding Tip: Certainly the rider may “lean” on the Sonic Glow Hovertrax,
but leaning only affects the foot platform’s position to the extent the
rider’s feet change their position. If the rider’s ankles are held at a
consistent 90° angle, leaning will result in tilting. Note that leaning
can exaggerate shifting of weight, which may affect the ability of a rider to
recover to a level posture – increasing the possibility of loss of balance.
HOW TO CHANGE MODES
Turn power switch “ON”.
Training mode (Default mode from factory)
Note: Whatever mode the Sonic Glow Hovertrax was left in when turned off,
will be the mode it begins in when turned back on.
TO CHANGE TO NORMAL MODE
Press power switch button twice BEFORE all indicator lights come on.
Normal mode
Sonic Glow Hovertrax is ready to ride.
Note: To go back to training mode, turn power OFF, then press power
switch button ON. Press power switch button twice BEFORE all indicator lights
come on.
HOW TO GET ON
Once you have charged the battery (see page 6 for charging information):
-
Power On: Set the Sonic Glow Hovertrax on the ground and turn the power on. The battery/power mode indicator will show either one or two lights to indicate mode (see page 8 for instructions on switching modes). Do NOT proceed to step two (2) until all lights on the indicator light up.
-
First Foot: While standing behind the Sonic Glow Hovertrax, put one foot on a foot platform, closer to the wheel than to the center. Use that foot to activate the foot platform by bringing that foot platform to a balanced, level position.
-
Confirm Activation: Confirm the first foot platform is activated. Move your foot back and forth and feel the response from the product. Play with this single foot platform until you are comfortable keeping the foot platform motion minimal.
-
Step Up: With the first foot platform stable and still, step up on the second foot platform with your second foot. Do this away from furniture and other large objects. Don’t use a fixed object to brace or lift yourself – Keep your weight evenly distributed between the two foot platforms. If you are uncomfortable; step back off and repeat from step 2. Try to stand on the Sonic Glow Hovertrax without moving.
HOW TO RIDE: -
Stand in Place: Sonic Glow Hovertrax is unique among two-wheeled items in that the active stabilization it provides allows you to stand in place. A scooter or bicycle may balance more easily when it moves, but a Sonic Glow Hovertrax can balance even while stationary.
-
Move Forward: To move forward, press down gradually with your feet on the fronts of both foot platforms. Do not lunge forward or lean excessively, as you may lose your balance.
-
Slow Down: To slow down or stop, apply pressure to the rear edges of the foot platforms by pushing down with your heels. Leaning back somewhat may be useful but remember your feet are giving the instructions! If you continue pushing the rear edges with your heels, you will be able to travel backwards.
-
Turn: To turn left, slightly push your right foot down on the front of the right foot platform; to turn right, push down on the front of the left foot platform. This idea is to make one wheel turn a little bit faster than the other wheel.
-
Rotate in Place: To rotate in place, push down on the front of one foot platform while pushing down with equal force on the rear of the other foot platform.
SONIC GLOW HOVERTRAX SPEED CONTROL -
Not too fast: The max speed of this product is 8 mph (12.8 km/h), however the recommended top operating speed is approximately 5 mph (8 km/h). Speed may be affected by rider weight, surface conditions, battery charge, etc. The Sonic Glow Hovertrax is capable of exceeding the normal operating speed for short periods, which is designed to permit the wheels to react and “re-balance” the product by helping level itself. Do not attempt to “force” the Sonic Glow Hovertrax into continuous operation at “re-balance” speeds, as control will be more difficult and falls more likely.
HOW TO GET OFF: -
Slow down and stop
-
Step to the back
-
Power down
NOTE: If Sonic Glow Hovertrax is left on for more than 5 minutes, it will
automatically turn off and beep.
PRODUCT WARNING SIGNALS
The Sonic Glow Hovertrax has several built in protection features, which
include:
-
Self-leveling function: If the product is not level when powered on it will slowly rotate until it is level.
Always wait to mount until it has completely stopped self-leveling and all lights on the battery power mode indicator are lit. -
Training Mode: This product can be set to training mode to operate at a slower speed (see page 8 for instructions). Do not operate in normal mode until you are completely comfortable riding in training mode.
-
Low or charging battery: The battery/power mode indicator light (orange) will indicate insufficient charge for operation by flashing and the product will beep.
-
Excessive angle shutoff: At excessively steep foot platform angles, the product will stop powered operation.
Riding Tip: Before your very first ride, expect to spend up to ten
minutes in this stage of learning how to stand comfortably on the Sonic Glow
Hovertrax.
Self-balancing Function: If product is not level when powered on it will
slowly rotate until it is level. Always wait to mount until it has completely
stopped self-leveling and all lights on the battery/power mode indicator are
lit.
Riding Tip: Your practice on Sonic Glow Hovertrax should be to keep the
platform in place and get a feel for the motions that are generated from small
changes in your fore/aft foot pressure.
Riding Tip: Sonic Glow Hovertrax is best ridden at speeds similar to a
brisk walk, not faster.
Note: All lights flashing notes a leveling error. Do not ride until
flashing stops.
RIDING TIPS
-
Learn to ride the Sonic Glow Hovertrax in a large, safe area free from all forms of interference.
-
Keep your posture upright, but relaxed. Align your body over the Sonic Glow Hovertrax and use a wide stance with your feet close to the wheels.
-
Be alert. Scan both far ahead and in front of you – your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery surfaces.
-
Hold your arms comfortably at your side.
-
Start at a slow and comfortable pace. Never aggressively accelerate or lunge forward.
-
Be careful and considerate of others.
-
Always ride under control at a speed that is safe for you and those around you.
-
Always be prepared to stop.
-
Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way.
-
Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down.
SONIC GLOW HOVERTRAX TIPS
Once you have charged the battery, follow these six easy steps: -
Remember to check for the green battery indicator light before you get on. If it is not lit, the product is not on and you will fall.
-
Do not stand on or near the center or rotating portion of the foot platform.
-
Remember to keep your body relaxed through your back and legs. Stand naturally.
-
Practice controlled stopping.
-
If you stand with one foot on the foot platform with the product on, keep that foot level, or the Sonic Glow Hovertrax will move.
-
Be aware of the width of the Sonic Glow Hovertrax and the path you are traveling. Make sure you will fit.
TERRAIN AND AVOIDING HAZARDS, SLIPS AND TRIPS
The Sonic Glow Hovertrax is intended for indoors or use on smooth, flat
surfaces. However, to prevent loss of traction, you must always be careful
when riding and learn to identify and avoid slippery and wet surfaces, loose
materials, slopes, potholes and other obstacles.
Stop and step off the Sonic Glow Hovertrax over unsafe surfaces or terrain.
The Sonic Glow Hovertrax wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to
stay upright. Slips occur when the Sonic Glow Hovertrax loses traction,
potentially causing loss of control and a fall. Abrupt maneuvers and riding
Ove slippery surfaces, bumps, and loose objects and materials may cause the
Sonic Glow Hovertrax to lose traction.
- Keep alert.
- Never jump on or off the Sonic Glow Hovertrax with both feet.
- Please don’t ride transversely on a hillside or turn on a slope. This may cause Sonic Glow Hovertrax’s balance sensors to be unable to orient themselves to “level” state, impairing rider control.
- Avoid riding over any surface where the undercarriage may strike an object.
- Use caution when riding over any change in terrain.
To Connect to your Bluetooth® Speaker
- Turn Sonic Glow Hovertrax power switch ON.
- Activate Bluetooth® in your handheld device’s settings.
- Find Razor Sonic Glow Hovertrax in your handheld device’s list and select.
- Play your music.
WARNING: Do not talk or text on your mobile device while riding. Only change your device’s music settings when stationary.
