About the Product
INMOTION SCV V5 is a fashionable, interesting, and practical travel and entertainment tool. In line with the dynamic balance principle, INMOTION SCV V5 can detect changes of its body pose with the built-in gyroscope and acceleration sensor, and accurately drive a motor by the servo control system to adjust accordingly for balance. Users can move forward, speed up, slow down, brake the V5, and perform other riding operations by tilting their bodies forth or back, and also can keep the lateral balance by controlling their bodies.

Handle bar and assist Mode
INMOTION SCV V5provides optional handle bar that must to be purchased from INMOTION and installed by users themselves. The assist mode enables the system to provide proper riding force at a lower power and help users push NMOTION SCV V5 easily when users do not want to ride or when the condition is not suitable for riding (for instance, insufficient electric quantity, steep slope, wet and slippery ground, sand, bumpy road, crowded environment, etc.), which greatly improves the portability.
Button for Preventing Tire Rotation
Due to the unique algorithm of INMOTION SCV V5, if the body angle varies after the V5 body lifts off the ground under normal startup state, motor spinning accelerates until the V5 is shut down. If being placed on the ground during motor acceleration, the V5 is likely to fly off due to the friction between wheels and ground, and there is the risk of running into others in some cases, such as elevators, stairs, getting on or off the bus, or crowed places.
The anti-spinning key below the body handle is designed for the INMOTION SCV V5 according to its characteristics. When the user holds the handle to lift up the V5, the key will be automatically triggered, and the V5 will enter the sleep state. In the meantime, the motor will no longer rotate to avoid spinning accordingly. Remove your hand from the handle key to let the V5 fall to the ground again. The V5 will return to normal condition for continual use.
The “Button for Preventing Tire Rotation” function is enabled by default when INMOTION SCV V5 leaves the factory. You need to shut down this function on the mobile APP if i learning rope for operation is installed on the handle. Users need to know the above functions and agree to accept the relevant legal liability statements when using this function.
Over speed Protection
INMOTION SCV V5 limits the maximum riding speed to avoid dangers caused by too
fast riding. When the V5 riding speed reaches the maximum speed set by the
system, the pedal will slightly tilt up for 3~5° accompanied by alarm sound.
Users are required to slow down at this time. Do not accelerate forcibly
(there is risk of car crash if performing forced acceleration, the personal
injuries and all losses caused by failure to operate according to the
specificationshall be borne by the users themselves). The pedal will return to
normal angle once the normal speed is recovered.
When the electric quantity is less than 2 scales, the maximum speed limit will
reduce gradually. When the electric quantity is increased or lower than the
minimum riding voltage (0 scale), the V5 body will automatically tilt up the
pedal to give the user the hint to stop riding; otherwise, damage is caused to
the V5.
Slant Protection
When the left and right tilt angle of the V5 body is more than 45° during riding, the system will induce the abnormality of the V5 body, and will automatically exit the self-balancing mode, so as to prevent the personal injuries caused by high-speed rotating tires after the tilting of the V5 body. In the meantime, the V5 plays the prompt tone of “Be careful”. It is only necessary to correct the V5 body at this time to automatically enter the self- balancing mode.
INMOTION APP
INMOTION APP is mobile software designed for INMOTION users by INMOTION Technologies Co., Ltd. to realize V5 control, make friends, release articles, attend INMOTION activities and purchase accessories. The English name of INMOTION APP is “INMOTION”. INMOTION APP can be downloaded from our official website or corresponding APP stores(IOS system: Apple App Store; Android system: Google Play).
