INTRODUCTION

The Hover-1 Rebel is a personal transporter. Our technology and production processes are developed with strict testing for each Rebel scooter. Operating the Rebel without following the contents of this manual may lead to damage to your Rebel or bodily injury.
This manual is designed to give you the information you need for the safe operation and maintenance of your Rebel. Please read it thoroughly before riding your Rebel.
PACKAGE CONTENTS

• Wall Charger
• Operation Manual

FEATURES/PARTS

OPERATING PRINCIPALS
The Rebel uses digital electronic gyroscopes and acceleration sensors to control balance and motion, depending on the user’s center of gravity. The Rebel also uses a control system to drive the motors that are located within the wheels. The Rebel has a built-in inertia dynamic stabilization system that can help assist with balance when moving forward and backward but not while turning.
TIP – To increase your stability, you must shift your weight in order to overcome the centrifugal force during turns, especially when entering a turn at higher speeds.
WARNING
Any Rebel that does not work properly can cause you to be in control and fall. Inspect the entire Rebel thoroughly before every ride, and do not ride it until any problems have been corrected.

RIDING YOUR REBEL

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR REBEL VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.
Before using your Rebel, be sure to familiarize yourself with the operating procedures.
OPERATING YOUR REBEL
Make sure the Rebel is fully charged before initial use. For charging instructions, please follow the details under CHARGING YOUR REBEL.
Stand directly behind your Rebel and place one foot on the corresponding foot mat (as described in the diagram below). Keep your weight on the foot which is still on the ground, otherwise, the Rebel may begin to move or vibrate, making it difficult to step on evenly with your other foot. When you are ready, shift your weight to the foot already placed on the Rebel and step on with your second foot quickly and evenly (as described in the diagram below). NOTES:
Stay relaxed and step on quickly, confidently, and evenly. Imagine climbing skis, one foot, then the other. Look up once your feet are even. The Rebel may vibrate or spin in one direction. if weight and pressure are applied to only a one-foot mat. THIS IS NORMAL.
Find your center of gravity. If your weight is distributed correctly on the foot mats and your center of gravity is level, you should be able to stand on your Rebel just as if you were standing on the ground. On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable standing on
your Rebel and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will help you feel more secure. The Rebel is an incredibly intuitive device; it senses even the slightest bit of motion, so having any anxiety or reservation about stepping on may cause you to panic and trigger unwanted movement.
When you first begin using your Rebel, the fastest way to move in your desired direction is to focus in that direction. You will notice that just thinking about which way you would like to go will shift your center of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that direction.
Your center of gravity determines which direction you move, accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop. As described in the diagram below, tilt your center of gravity in the direction you wish to move.
To turn, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay relaxed.
WARNING
Do not turn sharply at high speeds to avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.
As you get comfortable on the Rebel, 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 Rebel to a safe operating surface. NOTES:
Try staying relaxed and focus on finding your center of gravity to maintain full control of your Rebel.
Dismounting your Rebel can be one of the easiest steps, yet when done incorrectly, may cause you to fall. To properly dismount, from a stopped position, lift one leg up and set your foot back down on the ground (STEPPING BACK). Then step off completely as described in the following diagram. WARNING
Make sure to lift your feet completely off the foot mat to clear the Rebel when stepping back to dismount. Failure to do so may send the Rebel into a tailspin.
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: 130 lbs
• Minimum Weight: 44 lbs
• Maximum Speed: Up to 6 mph

WARNING
Overweight exertion on the Rebel may increase the possibility of injury or product damage.
NOTES:
To prevent injury, when max speed is reached, the Rebel will beep to alert the user and tilt the rider slowly back.
OPERATING RANGE
The Rebel can travel a distance of 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 Rebel.

• 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 Rebel under recommended temperatures, which will increase riding distance, battery life, and overall performance of your Rebel.
• 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 the overall distance.

BALANCE & CALIBRATION

If your Rebel is unbalanced, vibrating, or not turning properly, you can follow the below steps to calibrate it.

• First, place the Rebel on a flat, horizontal surface such as the floor or a table. The foot mats should be even with each other and not tilted forward or backward. Make sure the charger is not plugged in and the board is turned off.
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button for a total of 10-15 seconds. The scooter will turn on, lighting the battery indicator on the board.
• After the front lights keep flashing you may release the ON/OFF button.
• Turn the board off and then turn the board back on. Calibration will now be completed.

SAFETY ALERTS

While riding your Rebel, if there is a system error or improper operation performed, the Rebel will prompt the user in a variety of ways.
You will hear a beep if an error occurs. This is a warning sound to stop using the device and may cause the device to stop suddenly.
The following are common occurrences where you will hear the Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure Of errors.

• Unsafe riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.)
• When you step on the Rebel if the platform is tilted more than 10 degrees forward or backward.
• The battery voltage is too low.
• The Rebel is still charging.
• During operation, the platform self initiates to tilt due to excess speed.
• Overheating, or motor temperature is too high.
• The Rebel has been rocking back and forth for over 30 seconds.
• If the system enters protection mode, the alarm indicator will light up and the board will vibrate. This typically occurs when the battery is about to run out of power.
• If the platform is tilted forward or backward more than 10 degrees, your Rebel will power off and stop suddenly, possibly causing the rider to lose balance or fall off.
• If any or both tires are blocked, the Rebel will stop after 2 seconds.
• When the battery level has depleted below protection mode, the Rebel engine will power off and stop after 15 seconds.
• While sustaining a high discharge current during use (such as driving up a steep slope for a long period of time), the Rebel engine will power off and stop after 15 seconds.

WARNING
When the Rebel turns off during a Safety Alert, all operating systems will halt. Do not continue attempting to ride the Rebel when the system initiates a stop. Turn your Rebel off and back on to unlock it from a Safety Lock.
