HOW TO GET ON
Once you have charged the battery:
1. Power On: Set the Hovertrax 2.0 on the ground and turn the power on and the blue light on the
power button will light-up. The battery/power mode indicator will show either one or two green lights
to indicate mode. Do NOT proceed to step two until all lights on the indicator light up.
2. First Foot: While standing behind the Hovertrax 2.0, 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 Hovertrax 2.0 without moving.
HOW TO RIDE:
5. Stand in Place: Hovertrax 2.0 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 Hovertrax 2.0 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
backwards.
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 one foot platform while pushing down
with equal force on the rear of the other foot platform.
HOVERTRAX SPEED CONTROL
Not too fast: The recommended top speed of the Hovertrax 2.0 is approximately nine (9) km/h (6 mph)
and eleven (11) km/h (7 mph) for the Hovertrax DLX 2.0. Speed may be affected by rider weight, surface
conditions, battery charge, etc. The Hovertrax 2.0 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 Hovertrax into continuous operation at "re-balance" speeds, as control will
be more difficult and falls more likely.
HOW TO GET OFF:
1. Slow down and stop
2. Step to the back
3. Power down
NOTE: If Hovertrax 2.0 is left on for more than 5 minutes, it will automatically turn off and beep.
PRODUCT WARNING SIGNALS
The Hovertrax 2.0 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. 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 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
Hovertrax 2.0.
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
Hovertrax 2.0 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: Hovertrax 2.0 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.
