Profile of the auto balanced scooter The major operating principle of the two-wheeled auto balanced scooter is based on the "dynamic stability", which is the automatic balance of the vehicle itself. The precision high-speed central microprocessor will calculate the appropriate commands to drive the motor(s) to achieve a result of balance; after the precise posture state of the scooter is determined using the built-in solid-state gyroscope. Because it is a parallel two wheel design, this product is different from traditional two-wheel and dual spindle scooters. The scooter is driven by a maintenance free lithium battery which can be charged repeatedly. The vehicle does not require brakes or throttle while operating. While the driver leans forward, the auto balance scooter will move forward. While the driver s body is upright, the auto balance scooter will stop. Using the principle of dynamic equilibrium, the centre of the gravity changes until it can achieve a balance while the body moves. The two-wheel auto balanced scooter copies the function of human legs to create balance via rotation of the wheels either forward or backward. The operating cost is low as it moves quietly and conveniently. In the case of a full charge it can typically drive three hours if fitted with one (1) battery, (6hrs / 2 batteries; 9 hrs / 3 batteries) continuously before requiring recharging. The trip distance is related to the road and terrain that you are driving on and driving on the grass and or slopes will consume more power. Warning instructions: Warning - Serious injury or death may occur in the event of an accident with this scooter. A helmet and body protection must be worn to minimize injury for in the event that an accident occurs. Neither the manufacturer, the importer nor any sales agents accept responsibility for any injury sustained whilst riding this device. All liability rests with the operator. Warning - Auto balanced scooters may not be approved for use on public roads or footpaths in your area. It is the operator s responsibility to check with local authorities. 3.

It can cause the scooter to turn around and rotate 360 degrees. The steering lever also plays a role of support; it has a supplementary role to the body balance. The steering lever length may be adjustable on some models. 4

5 The steering lever should be locked after fitting by tightening the appropriate stud with hand tools. The steering lever can be removed to aid transportation. b) The Indicator The digital indicator will provide functional information to aid in setting and operating the scooter. c) The foot pedals The foot pedals monitor upper and lower activity and house the built-in safety switches. The scooter will not operate if the operator is not standing on the foot pedals. If the driver suddenly leaves the foot pedals, the switches under the foot pedals will reset and the auto balanced scooter will automatically stop after 2 seconds. d) The power and light switches The power switch is used to turn the battery supply on or off. When this switch is on you can complete the initial setting of the two-wheel auto balanced scooter. The light switch will turn the lights on and off. e) Wheel motor, hub and tyre Each wheel hub houses a 2,000Watt electric motor which drives the scooter forward or backward. Tyre pressures must be maintained to ensure the scooter operates correctly. f ) Charging socket The battery charger must be connected to this socket and mains power turned on to enable charging of the battery(s). 5

Operational settings All operational adjustments and settings to this scooter are preset but can be modified to suit the owner/operators personal preferences using a smartphone, either android or iphone. Each scooter has a QR Code attached (and shown below) which can be scanned with the smartphone to download the appropriate mrobot app. Once the app is opened on the smartphone, the operator can search for and select the device/scooter before making personal choices to the scooters operational settings. Android QR Code iphone QR Code 5. Driving the scooter a. With one hand placed on the steering rod and whilst keeping the pedal level, turn on the power switch. Then clasping the handles of the balanced scooter with your hands, step on to the car. b. It may be difficult to stand up if the preset pedal position is not suited to your body dimensions and weight. This pedal position can be adjusted using your smartphone as discussed in Item 4 above. 6

7 The driving of the balanced scooter is totally different from the traditional auto operation of other vehicles. There isn t a traditional brake, accelerator or transmission system. When you drive the vehicle, wear protective clothing, helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads. If you drive the two-wheel auto balanced scooter for the first time, you must read the following guidance carefully or be trained by an experienced user. Warning - Driving the two-wheel auto balance scooter may be very addictive, once you experience the fun of it, you may often look for opportunities to drive it but be careful that you do not become fatigued and incapable of making safe decisions. 1. Getting on - Stand on the auto balanced scooter by placing both hands on the handles and then both feet on to the pedals. After stepping down on the pedals, the two-wheel auto balanced scooter will start computing to keep balance. You will feel the scooter trying to maintain a balance position. The recommended order for getting on to the scooter is as follows: left hand - right foot; left foot - right hand; or right hand - left foot; right foot - left hand. 2. Driving forward - When the body leans forwards slowly (center of gravity moves forward), the two-wheel balanced scooter begins to travel straight forward. The speed of the scooter is controlled by the angle of the forward lean. If the degree is bigger the speed is faster. Conversely if the degree is smaller, the speed is slower. Lean forward slowly to achieve smooth straight line acceleration. Lean forward quickly to achieve faster acceleration. 3. Reversing - We do not recommend that you reverse the auto balance scooter backwards. It may be unsafe to do so. The turning radius of the two-wheel balanced scooter is zero, therefor it can easily spin around 360 degrees. To turn around 180 degrees it is recommended that you lean slightly back to slow and stop the scooter before attempting to turn. Smoothly leaning backward is helpful to slow down or stop. Grasp the handles and lean slightly forward like pushing a shopping trolley. Lean backward to slow down or stop. 4. Turning - The turning of the two-wheel auto balanced scooter occurs by leaning the steering lever to the left or to the right. The body must cooperate to turn to the left or to the right at the same time by leaning in to the direction of travel. 7

8 Turning during travel is accomplished through the steering stem and body coordination. To turn left, the steering lever should have a smooth swing to the left, leaning to the left in the body at the same time. The size of the turning radius is largely dependent on the swing angle of the steering lever. 6. Driving in wet weather - The basic two-wheel auto balanced scooter does not have waterproof capability for driving in rain or water. When the scooter is wet, damage to the motor and electric devices may occur which may cause abnormal operation. The basic model of the two-wheel auto balanced scooter cannot be used in snow and ice. The basic two-wheel auto balanced scooter is equipped with night lights which can be switched on/off when required. 6. Battery Charging It is recommended that caution be exercised to ensure the batteries are recharged before the power falls below 10%. First it is important to turn off the power switch, then connect the battery charger supplied with the scooter. The battery charger has two lights; the red represents charging and the green represents charging complete. The input voltage of the charger is V. The output voltage varies depending on the particular model of scooter. The charging time is generally around six hours to complete, at which time the green light will turn on in the battery charger. The 8

9 charger will become hot during charging and must be kept in a well-ventilated place. 7. Maintenance This section covers basic maintenance. Should other problems be encountered it is recommended that the scooter be serviced by the authorized dealer. 1. Power Switch - Please shut off the power switch when the scooter is not used. 2. Battery - The two-wheel auto balanced scooter uses maintenance free batteries. Charging is required when indicated and generally takes around 6 hours at which time the green lamp will glow within the battery charger. The longest charging time should not be more than 15 hours. The auto balanced scooter also should be charged when it has not been used in a long time. Excessive discharge and recharge will have an impact on the life of battery. (Suggestion: charging is necessary when the scooter is not used in a month) 3. Tyres - The normal pressure is 80 kpa. It is necessary to check the tyre pressure regularly. Under or over inflation can cause uneven tyre wear and affect the maneuverability and driving comfort of the scooter. Under-inflation can also increase the power usage. It is recommended that the tyres be checked daily for trauma, foreign bodies and other abrasions. The tyres should be replaced if wear or damage is excessive. 4. Cleaning The auto balance scooter should be kept clean with a damp cloth. Do not use any corrosive chemicals such as gasoline. Do not flush the scooter with water. 5. The warranty is 12 months from date of purchase. This is a back to base warranty thus it is the owners responsibility to deliver and pick-up the scooter from the supplier. 6. It is the purchaser s responsibility to populate the warranty card at the time of purchase and to update the card during maintenance. Please present the warranty card to the service agent if repairs are necessary. If the warranty card is not made available, the warranty will expire after 13 months from the date of production. 7. Beyond the warranty period you may obtain parts from the authorized dealer or alternatively return the auto balance scooter to the authorized dealer for repair if needed. 8. Matters needing attention 1. The scooter will come with operating parameters preset however the purchaser/operator may set the desired pedal position, steering sensitivity and speed settings using the mrobot app on their smartphone as discussed in chapter The two-wheel balanced scooter should be stored upright and the power switch turned off when not in use. 3. The power switch should be turned off immediately if the scooter is placed under water and the scooter disassembled and dried. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in serious damage to the wheel motors and electrical circuitry. The weight of the scooter is about 50 kg and in the absence of power it can be pushed/pulled home. 9
