Hover-1 is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not follow local laws and regulations.

• For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious injury and in some cases, even death.
• Obey all local traffic laws. Obey red and green lights, one-way streets, stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, etc.
• Ride with the traffic, not against if.
• Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.
• Give pedestrians the right-of-way.
• Do not ride too close to pedestrians and alert them if you intend to pass them from behind.
• Slow down at all street intersections and look to the left and right before crossing.

Your Flare is not equipped with reflectors. It is not recommended that you ride in conditions of low visibility.
If you are riding your scooter in low-visibility conditions, ensure your LED light is turned on, and that you are wearing bright, reflective clothing.

RIDING YOUR FLARE

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR FLARE, VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.
OPERATING YOUR FLARE
Make sure the Flare is fully charged before the first initial use. Before turning on your Flare, ride it like a normal kick scooter to get comfortable with the Flare before using it with the motor.
When comfortable riding the scooter, power it on. For the motor to activate, you must first start riding the scooter and then push the throttle down. The motor will only activate if you are moving at 1 .8mph or more
To slow down the scooter, push the electric brake down. This will stop the motor and slow you down. Also press the mechanical brake with your foot to manually slow down the scooter.
The Flare is equipped with a built-in 120 Watt Brushless Motor which allows you to accelerate (up to 8 mph) and decelerate.
To turn, use the handlebar to turn in the direction you wish to turn.
The Flare can be operated manually if you do not wish to use the motor.
As you get comfortable on the Flare, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.
Bend your knees if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then dismount and carry your Flare to a safe operating surface.

WARNING
Do not turn sharply or at high speeds to avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.

WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS
Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed here in the manual.

• Maximum Weight: 132 lbs
• Minimum Weight: 44 lbs
• Maximum Speed: Up to 8 mph

WARNING
Overweight exertion on the Flare may increase possibility of injury or product damage.
OPERATING RANGE
The Flare can travel a distance up to 3 miles on a fully charged battery in ideal conditions. The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your Flare.

• Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance significantly.
• Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the Flare under recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance; battery life, and overall performance of your Flare.
• Speed and Riding Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling and frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease overall distance.

SAFETY ALERTS

While riding your Flare, if there is a system error or an illegal operation occured, the Flare will prompt the user in a variety of ways.
The following are common occurrences where you will see Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure or errors.

• Prohibited riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.)
• Battery voltage is too low.
• The Flare is still charging.
• Overheating, or motor temperature is too high.
• If the system enters protection mode, the alarm indicator will light up. This typically occurs when the battery is about to run out of power.
• If any or both tires are blocked, the Flare will stop after 2 seconds.
• When the battery level has depleted below protection mode, the Flare motor will power off after 15 seconds.

While sustaining a high discharge current during use (such as riding up a steep slope for a long period of time), the Flare motor will power off after 15 seconds.
