Normal mode
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
overslippery 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.
