INTRODUCTION

This manual will help you understand, set up and safely use the Razor® Black Label HovertraxTM. 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 NEW TECHNOLOGY, WITH NEW CONCEPTS FOR CONTROL AND SAFETY
As is obvious the first time you see it, the Razor Black Label Hovertrax is different from things you may have ridden before. No handlebars. No front or rear wheel. No brake. It is new 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 new product as safely as possible. Helping you do that is the goal of this Manual and other warnings. THIS PRODUCT IS NEW, IT IS DIFFERENT, BUT IT 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 Black Label 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 Black Label Hovertrax is “different.” It is an electrically motorized, computerized, gyroscopically balanced-assisted, independently articulated, dual-platform two-wheeled personal mobility system. If that sounds unlike any bicycle, scooter, RipStik, roller skate, or water ski you have ever used, you’re on the right track.

However, the Razor Black Label 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 Black Label Hovertrax receives, processes, and executes instructions from the rider. This will affect the operation of the Razor Black Label 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 7-10) and learn to ride safely!

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Whenever you ride the Black Label 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 the fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric ride-on products, the Razor Black Label 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 to read and understand the “How to Operate” section of this manual (pages 7-10) increases the 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 Black Label Hovertrax. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the Razor Black Label 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 Black Label 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 Black Label Hovertrax.

Because products, like the Razor Black Label 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 APPROPRIATE 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 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.

CHECK AND MAINTAIN RAZOR BLACK LABEL HOVERTRAX
WARNING: Always inspect the Razor Black Label Hovertrax prior to use. Properly inspecting and maintaining your product can reduce the risk of injury. Before use, check to confirm that any and all guards or covers are in place and in serviceable condition.

SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CONTINUED USE: AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL USERS
Periodically review this information and make sure that you understand all warnings, cautions, instructions, and safety topics. Do not let others ride the Razor Black Label Hovertrax until they have read this manual. Any type of wheeled activity can be hazardous. Wheels can, and are intended to move and it is, therefore, possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall off. In such situations, serious injury or death could occur.

Always be aware of the activity around you. Use the Razor Black Label Hovertrax in areas free from fixed or moving hazards. Watch your surroundings for pedestrians, animals, and riders of other wheeled devices.

WARNING: Only use the Razor Black Label Hovertrax indoors or on completely smooth surfaces. Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces, which could result in a loss of balance or traction and cause a fall. See the section on Terrain for more guidelines.

WARNING: Do not lift the Razor Black Label Hovertrax off the ground when the product is turned on. Do not turn on the Razor Black Label Hovertrax in mid-air. This will cause the wheels to spin freely which could result in injury to yourself or damage to things around you.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel(s) or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children, or animals who may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others.

Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the electric product.

Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding. Never hitch a ride with another product.

Do not ride the Razor Black Label Hovertrax in wet or icy weather and never immerse this electric product in water, as the electrical and drive components could get damaged by water or possibly create other unsafe conditions.

NOTICE: This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your Razor Black Label Hovertrax product. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned.

Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven, or rough surfaces may increase risks. Do not ride this electric product in mud, ice, puddles, or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never use near steps or swimming pools.

Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.

Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risks associated with aggressive riding activities.

WARNING: Never operate any moving product, including the Razor Black Label Hovertrax, while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled). A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. Elbow pads, kneepads, wrist guards, a long- sleeved shirt, long pants, and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor, and drive system. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.

USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the electric product should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure, and other parts. In the event of such damage, the product must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced.

Use only with the recommended charger.

If these warnings occur, immediately slow down and safely step off. Turn the product off. Do not attempt to ride again until the battery is recharged.

HOW TO OPERATE

HOW IT WORKS
The Black Label Hovertrax responds to the rider’s foot movements. Remember this. The Black Label 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 Black Label Hovertrax to no longer be parallel to the ground.

When the product is “ ON “, the gyroscopic mechanized balancing feature of the Black Label Hovertrax tries to keep the foot platforms of the product parallel to the ground. In use, Black Label 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 Black Label Hovertrax as instructions to make the wheels move. Black Label Hovertrax tries to re-level a forward tilt by accelerating and tries to level a rearward tilt by decelerating.

PERIODIC RECALIBRATION IS RECOMMENDED
The Black Label 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 the 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 Black Label Hovertrax with an evenly weighted foot that is “level” on either foot platform:

• Pressing toes on both feet downward move Black Label Hovertrax forward
• Pressing heels on both feet downward move Black Label 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 the one-foot platform while simultaneously pushing down 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 Black Label 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-balance” 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 Black Label Hovertrax, such as:

• Do not jump up and down on it: If you remove a foot (or both feet), then land back on the Hovertrax Black Label 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 an increase or decrease of foot pressures on the foot platforms, but it is the action of the feet on the foot platforms which instructs Black Label 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 Black Label Hovertrax does not receive any “signal” to interpret.

Note: Do not lift the Black Label Hovertrax off the ground when it is turned on. Do not turn on the Black Label Hovertrax in mid-air.

Riding Tip: Certainly the rider may “lean” on the Black Label 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 a loss of balance.

HOW TO CHANGE MODES

Note: Whatever mode the Black Label Hovertrax was left in when turned off, will be the mode it begins in when turned back on.

Turn the power button “ ON “.

Training mode (Default mode from factory)

TO CHANGE TO NORMAL MODE

Note: To go back to training mode, turn the power OFF, then press the power button ON. Press the power button twice BEFORE all indicator lights come on.

Press the power button twice BEFORE all indicator lights come on.

Normal mode Black Label Hovertrax is ready to ride.

HOW TO GET ON
once you have charged the battery (see page 6 for charging information):
1. Power On: Set the Black Label 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.

2. First Foot: While standing behind the Black Label 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.

3. 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.

4. 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 Black Label Hovertrax without moving.

HOW TO RIDE:
5. Stand in Place:
Black Label 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 Black Label Hovertrax can balance even while stationary.

6. 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.

7. 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 backward.

8. 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.

9. Rotate in Place: To rotate in place, push down on the front of the one-foot platform while pushing down with equal force on the rear of the other foot platform.

BLACK LABEL HOVERTRAX SPEED CONTROL
10. Not too fast: The max speed of this product is 9 mph (14.5 km/h), however, the recommended top operating
speed is approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). Speed may be affected by rider weight, surface conditions, battery charge, etc. The Black Label 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 Black Label Hovertrax into continuous operation at “re-balance” speeds, as control will be more difficult and falls more likely.

HOW TO GET OFF:
11.Slow down and stop
12. Step to the back
13. Power down

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 Black Label Hovertrax.

Self-balancing 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.

Riding Tip: Your practice on Black Label Hovertrax should be to keep the platform in place and get a feel for the emotions that are generated from small changes in your fore/aft foot pressure.

Riding Tip: Black Label 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.

NOTE: If Black Label Hovertrax is left on for more than 5 minutes, it will automatically turn off and beep.

PRODUCT WARNING SIGNALS
The Hovertrax Black Label 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 TIPS

• Learn to ride the Black Label Hovertrax in a large, safe area free from all forms of interference.
• Keep your posture upright, but relaxed. Align your body over the Black Label 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.

BLACK LABEL 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 Black Label Hovertrax will move.
• Be aware of the width of the Black Label Hovertrax and the path you are traveling. Make sure you will fit.

TERRAIN AND AVOIDING HAZARDS, SLIPS, AND TRIPS
The Black Label Hovertrax is intended for indoors or uses 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 Black Label Hovertrax over unsafe surfaces or terrain.

The Black Label Hovertrax wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to stay upright. Slips occur when the Black Label Hovertrax loses traction, potentially causing a loss of control and a fall. Abrupt maneuvers and riding over slippery surfaces, bumps, and loose objects and materials may cause the Black Label Hovertrax to lose traction.

• Keep alert.
• Never jump on or off the Black Label Hovertrax with both feet.
• Please don’t ride transversely on a hillside or turn on a slope. This may cause Black Label Hovertrax’s balance sensors to be unable to orient themselves to a “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.
