2.3. How the INMOTION SCV Works
The INMOTION SCV works like the human body. When walking, if you lean forward, you take a step forward to keep your
balance. If you lean back, you step back. On an INMOTION SCV when you lean forward or back the machine powers the Wheels
in the direction that you lean.
The INMOTION SCV uses dynamic stabilization technology and applies many gyroscopes, sensors and Permanent Magnet
Synchronous Motor (PMSM) to maintain its balance and move forward or backward.
When you pivot the Turning Shaft left, the INMOTION SCV turns left. When you pivot the Turning Shaft right, the
INMOTION SCV turns right. To turn the INMOTION SCV, point the Turning Shaft in the direction you want to go, keeping the
Handlebar in line with your body. When the Turning Shaft is centered, the INMOTION SCV travels straight ahead.

3. Driving Your INMOTION SCV
3.1. Driving Guidelines
INMOTION SCV is a high-tech sensor control vehicle. If you try to drive INMOTION SCV before getting familiar with the
driving guidelines, it will cause unpredictable damage, including injury or ever death. This section describes how to drive the
INMOTION SCV. It discusses driving for the first time and helpful hints for all drivers.
3.1.1. Safety Cautions
Follow these steps to learn to drive your INMOTION SCV. It is important that you practice driving in a controlled, familiar
environment until you are comfortable using your INMOTION SCV and SmartKey. Before driving, make sure your INMOTION
SCV is assembled and charged. Inspect your INMOTION SCV before each use. Do not drive if any part is loose, damaged, or if
tires are not properly inflated. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the INMOTION SCV.
3.1.2. Prepare for Driving
To prepare for your first drive:
Select an appropriate area for your first drive. This
area may be indoors or outdoors and should measure at least
12 feet by 12 feet (4 meters by 4 meters). It must have a level,
smooth driving surface with good traction and should be free
of obstructions and away from vehicles, bicycles, pets, small
children, and other distractions.
Do not select a slippery area for your first drive.
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg22.png)
34 / 68
You will need a helper who is familiar with INMOTION SCV and has studied all the instructions and warnings in this
manual.

![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg23.png)
35 / 68
3.1.4. Stepping On
Before you attempt to step on for the first time, have your helper stand in front of the INMOTION SCV, face you, and
hold the Handlebar securely with both hands. Your helper should be prepared to firmly hold the INMOTION SCV to keep it
from moving. Make sure the Footboard Mat is level.
Hold the Handlebar with both hands, and as you step up, look forward and not down.
Place just one foot on the Footboard Mat.
Slowly transfer your weight to your foot on the Footboard Mat.
After hearing a Voice Prompt from the INMOTION SCV, you can raise your back foot off the ground and place it on the
Footboard Mat slowly while avoiding moving the Handlebar. Stay calm and relaxed. Look forward. Some people rock back and
forth involuntarily when they first step on. The helper should hold the Handlebar firmly.
If you feel unstable, step off the INMOTION SCV, one foot at a time, and pause before stepping back on. The helper
should continue holding firmly the entire time, and be prepared to keep the INMOTION SCV from moving as you step on or
off.
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg24.png)
36 / 68
If you are standing on the INMOTION SCV now, please remain the Footboard Mat horizontal and stand still. Do not move
before you are familiar with it.
3.1.5. Moving Forward and Backward
The INMOTION SCV moves forward and backward in response to changes in your position. When standing on the
Footboard Mat, to move forward or backward:
With your helper available to assist you, slowly lean forward and
feel the INMOTION SCV move forward. Then stop leaning forward and
feel it slow down and stop. Do this a few times.
Avoid rocking back and forth or shifting your weight abruptly,
as this could result in a loss of traction and cause a fall.
Look behind you and then slowly lean back and feel the
INMOTION SCV move backward. Then stop leaning back and feel it
slow down and stop. Do this a few times.
You should not drive backward in normal driving process. Because of lack of rear view and direction change of turning
centrifugal force, driving backward could cause unpredictable fall. Instead, turn and drive forward.
With your helper standing close by, practice going forward and backward a short distance in each direction. Be careful not to
run the Wheels into any object or go too fast. This could cause you to fall.
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg25.png)
37 / 68
3.1.6. Stopping
Stop the INMOTION SCV by shifting your weight away from the direction you are moving. To
stop the INMOTION SCV:
When you are moving forward, gently shift your hips back (as if you are preparing to sit
down) to bring the INMOTION SCV to a stop.
Once stopped, center your weight over the Footboard Mat to remain stationary. If you
continue to lean back, you will move backward.
Practice choosing a spot on the ground, and coming to a smooth controlled stop at that spot.
Then remain stationary.
Avoid abrupt stops and slippery surfaces. Stopping abruptly, especially on slippery surfaces,
can cause the INMOTION SCV’s tires to lose traction, and you could fall.
Please avoid abrupt stops. Always perform a controlled stop by gently shifting your weight away from the direction of
movement.
Avoid slippery surfaces. The INMOTION SCV’s Tires could lose traction causing you to fall.

3.1.7. Turning the INMOTION SCV
The INMOTION SCV turns in the direction that you lean the Handlebar. You turn the INMOTION SCV by leaning the
Handlebar left or right.
First, practice turning in place. To turn in place, slowly pivot the Handlebar to the side in the direction that you want to
turn. The INMOTION SCV will rotate so that you turn in place.
After you are comfortable going forward and backward and turning in place, try slowly driving forward and turning at
the same time. Keep your body lean in the direction of the turn in coordination with the angle of the Turning Shaft while turning.
Because abrupt turns can be dangerous, always lean into turns slowly and smoothly.
Do not drive crosswise or turn on the slope, or it will cause balance angle shifting and thus dangerous.

forward and backward at high speed.
The Assist Mode is disabled and the Sleep Mode is activated after 2 minutes of taking no action.
See “SmartKey” for more information on how to activate the Assist Mode.
3.5. Remote Control Mode
The INMOTION SCV is just like a robot in Remote Control Mode. It can go forward, go backward, turn and stop by remote
Control through your APP.
3.5.1. Remote Control
The INMOTION SCV will “stand up” automatically (get itself into a balance status when it is laid back) under manual
control mode after the INMOTION SCV and your APP are linked. Now you can control your INMOTION SCV easily by
toggling the buttons on and off.
3.5.2. Action Order
INMOTION SCV can execute some simple orders that you designated in your APP. These orders are very easy to master
and they are explained as following. By executing orders, your INMOTION SCV can be unique and bring you extra joy.
Speed, Forward/Backward Speed Difference (SD), Duration and Music are four major properties for each action.
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg2b.png)
43 / 68
If Speed is set to 0, SD to a positive number, your INMOTION SCV will turn left at the current spot.
If Speed is set to a positive number, SD to 0, your INMOTION SCV will roll forward.
If Speed is set to a positive number, SD to a positive number, your INMOTION SCV will turn left while it is rolling forward.
You can set Duration and specific Music for each action.
INMOTION SCV can do many amazing moves by executing the orders that you combine. This function is not available on
INMOTION R1.You can download some default program orders from our website to understand how it works. Refer to your APP
for more information.
Avoid using the Remote Control Mode on slippery and wet surfaces. It may result in slip of the Wheels and cause serious
injury or damage.
Activating the Remote Control Mode in an open area.
Be careful and avoid passengers and obstacles.
3.6. Self-examination Mode
Self-examination Mode allows you to run an automatic thorough examination of your INMOTION SCV to see if any
parameters have changed after a period of operation. INMOTION SCV will run all the above tests under Self-examination Mode
and stores the result data. Refer to “Info LED and Sound Prompt” for more information. The following chart shows what the
items are detected in the Self-examination Mode:
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg2c.png)

Make sure the Handlebar is vertical. Do not pull the Turning Shaft or hold the Handlebar.
Do not place anything on the Footboard Mat, including your feet.
Doing so could interfere with the result of self-examination and causing injury or damage.
3.7. Safety Alerts
The INMOTION SCV is equipped with multiple safety alerts. It is important to understand these alerts before you attempt to
drive your INMOTION SCV.
3.7.1. Speed Limiter
Because the motor power of INMOTION SCV is limited, when you approach the maximum allowed speed for a given
situation, the INMOTION SCV will push the handlebar back to slow you down. The following figure shows the process of speed
limiter.
The INMOTION SCV’s Speed Limiter is an alert that you are moving too fast. When the INMOTION SCV pushes the
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg2d.png)
45 / 68
handlebar back, stop leaning forward and slow down. Always leave a gap between yourself and the handlebar to ensure safety and
a smoothly driving feeling. When you slow down, INMOTION SCV will balance itself according to your body movements.
Keep accelerating and driving against the Handlebar could cause injury or damage from loss of control, collisions, and falls.
The speed at which the handlebar pushes back depends on a variety of factors including set-up speed limiter, terrain, payload,
Battery condition, etc. These are certain conditions that will trigger the speed limiter.
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg2e.png)

Continuous Climbing
Motor temperature high
Driving on complicated roads
Circuit temperature high
The moment it powers on
Battery temperature too high or too low
Low battery
Continuous declining
3.7.2. Shaft Shake Warning
One of the ways that the INMOTION SCV notifies you when you are at risk of falling is by shaking the Handlebar and
making growling noises.
The following chart shows the situations that trigger Stick Shake Warning and recommended actions:
Possible Causes
Recommended Action
Driving aggressively, accelerating or stopping abruptly.
Drive smoothly.
Driving against the Handlebar to speed up.
Leave a gap between yourself and the handlebar.
Driving on rough terrain or steep slopes.
Drive on smoother and flatter terrain.
Driving backwards too quickly. Stop, turn in place, and proceed forward.
Safety Shutdown has begun. Come to a controlled stop and safely step off the Powerbase
within 10 seconds.
Pulling the INMOTION SCV too fast in the Assist Mode.
Pull more smoothly and slowly.
Stepping on when Footboard Mat angle is excessive
Step on when the Footboard Mat is lay balanced.
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg2f.png)
47 / 68
3.7.3. Safety Shutdown
If the INMOTION SCV detects some severe faults or restriction (such as
outside specified driving range), it performs a Safety Shutdown.
When a Safety Shutdown occurs, the INMOTION SCV automatically
reduces its speed, gives the Stick Shake Warning (shakes the handlebar and
makes growling noises), and emits a warning tone.
You have approximately 14 seconds from the start of a Safety Shutdown
to come to a controlled stop and step off. After 14 seconds, the INMOTION
SCV will immediately shut down when the Wheels reach zero speed.
Never restart and drive your INMOTION SCV after it has indicated an empty Battery condition or performed Safety
Shutdown due to low Battery. The INMOTION SCV may not have enough power to keep you balanced, especially if you move
strenuously on INMOTION SCV, which needs more power.
If you restart and continue driving after Safety Shutdown due to low Battery, you risk falling. Also, you risk damaging your
Battery Pack, resulting in reduced Battery life and capacity.
3.8. Environmental Factors Affected the Vehicle’s Performance
3.8.1. Driving Distance
Driving distance per charge is greatly influenced by driving habits and environmental factors. The following chart shows
factors that have great influence:
![](/img.php?id=2108727&img=bg30.png)
48 / 68
Factors
Possible Causes
Road Condition Driving the INMOTION SCV on flat roads will increase driving distance per charge. On the contrary,
driving on the hillside or the hollow will decrease driving distance.
Speed and driving habits Driving the INMOTION SCV with constant speed will increase driving distance per charge. On the
contrary, stepping on and off and speeding up and slowing down frequently will decrease driving
distance.
Load
Driving the INMOTION SCV under low load will increase driving distance per charge.
Temperature Driving the INMOTION SCV in a low temperature will decrease driving distance per charge. The
INMOTION SCV performs most efficiently when it is close to the center of the recommended driving
temperature range.
Battery Condition Keeping the Battery in a good condition will increase driving distance per charge. Using the old,
overload and poorly maintained Battery Pack will significantly decrease driving distance.
Wind Direction
Driving with the wind behind will increase driving distance per charge, and vice versa.
3.8.2. Driving in Hot Temperatures
The temperature of components (including the motor, Battery Pack, driving system, etc.) is raised when driving the
INMOTION SCV in hot temperatures. It could affect the INMOTION SCV’s service life. If the temperature of components is hot
(≥50℃) while driving, the INMOTION SCV will slow down automatically. The hotter the temperature of components is, the
lower the speed will be. If the temperature of components is very hot (≥80℃) while driving, the INMOTION SCV may activate a
safety alert. You should step off and stop driving immediately for a while to lower the temperature of components.
49 / 68
3.8.3. Driving in Cold Temperatures
Too low temperature will deteriorate of lubrication among components and thus increase resistance. Also the battery
discharge capability and capacity will decrease dramatically in low temperature environment. Avoid to apply strong moves with
your INMOTION SCV in cold temperatures(≤-5℃), otherwise can cause the INMOTION SCV to lose control, and you could
fall.
3.8.4. Climbing
When the INMOTION SCV is climbing, the inner temperature will increase, especially during long period of continuous
climbing. Even though the system will slow down the speed while climbing, we still suggest you to avoid long period of
continuous climbing.
3.8.5. Declining
The INMOTION SCV will collect energy while declining, and the motor will work as a power generator to store electricity
into the Battery Pack. Thus continuous declining will allow you to travel longer miles.
When the battery is nearly full, the recharge to the battery will cause excessive charge thus cause damage to the battery,
therefore the system will automatically lower down the max speed to reduce the possibility of excessive charge.
