It must have a level, smooth riding surface with good traction, and the area should be free of obstructions and far from vehicles,  bicycles,  pets,  small  children,  and  other distractions.
  30 / 64   Do not select a slippery area for your first ride.  Get a helper who is familiar with the INMOTION SCV and who has studied all the instructions and warnings in this manual.  Wear a helmet.  Move the INMOTION SCV to the center of the riding area.  Adjust the Handlebar to suit your height.  3.1.2. Turn On the INMOTION SCV  You will hear a Voice Prompt from the INMOTION SCV that indicates the INMOTION SCV is in Training Mode (please make sure the INMOTION SCV is in Training Mode for your first ride), and an icon will appear on the LED Screen to indicate that the power is ON and the INMOTION SCV is in Standby Mode.    Do not step onto the INMOTION SCV yet! Your INMOTION SCV is powered on, but it is not balancing.  INMOTION SCV adopts a special power-on shortcut. When you upright INMOTION SCV , it will be turned on automatically(for  the  first  time  or  when  turning  on  from deep sleep mode, you need to press the power-on button at the back of the INMOTION SCV body).  When  turned  on,  INMOTION  SCV  enters  standby mode,  you  will  hear  the  welcome,  and  the  status information  of  INMOTION  SCV  will  be  shown  on  the digital display which indicates that INMOTION SCV is in standby mode.
  31 / 64   Please don’t step on INMOTION SCV immediately as it has not entered the balance mode. 3.1.3. Stepping On  Before you attempt to step on for the first time, have your helper stand facing you in front of the INMOTION SCV, holding 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 straight ahead and not down.  Put one foot on the Footboard Mat.  Slowly transfer your weight to the foot on the Footboard Mat.  Once you hear a Voice Prompt from the INMOTION SCV, raise your back foot off the ground and slowly place it on the Footboard Mat 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.  If you are standing on the INMOTION SCV now, please keep the Footboard Mat horizontal and stand still. Do not
  32 / 64  move before you are familiar with it. 3.1.4. 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 ride backward as part of yournormal riding process. Because of the lack of a  rear  view and direction changes of the turning centrifugal force, riding backward could cause unpredictable falls. Instead, turn and ride 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 objects or go too fast. This could cause you to fall.
  33 / 64  3.1.5. 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.
  34 / 64  3.1.6. 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 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 riding forward and turning at the same time. Keep your body leaning in the direction of the turn, and 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 ride crosswise or turn on a slope, or it will cause balance angle shifting and thus be dangerous.
  35 / 64  3.1.7. Stepping Off When you are ready to step off the INMOTION SCV for the first time, your helper should hold the Handlebar. To step off the INMOTION SCV:    Remain stationary by keeping your weight centered over the Wheels and Footboard Mat and keep the Handlebar vertical. Step off the INMOTION SCV slowly, one foot at a time.  After you have stepped off, continue to hold the Handlebar for about a second. You can lean the INMOTION SCV backward and park it when you hear a tone.            Do not pull the Turning Shaft backward when stepping off. It may make the SCV movebackward, causingunpredictable damage. While getting off, do not lean the Handlebar forward or it will move forward if you haven’t completely moved your weight off.  Practice stepping off for the first time with your helper standing close by.
  36 / 64  3.1.8. Securing Your INMOTION SCV The  INMOTION  SCV  has  Lock  Mode  in  case  you  need  to  leave  your  INMOTION  SCV  unattended.  You  can  lock  the Handlebar by control shortcut through your smartphone and put INMOTION SCV. When the INMOTION SCV is in Lock Mode:  If anyone tries to move or shake the INMOTION SCV, it will trigger the warning alert and SCV body vibration.  The Tires will be locked to make it difficult to move your INMOTION SCV.  The system will exit Lock Mode and shut off after four hours to save energy.    Lock  Mode  is  intended  for  use  when  you  remain  in  close  proximity  to  the  INMOTION  SCV,  and  are  able  to respond to an alarm. The best way to discourage tampering with your INMOTION SCV is to keep it in a secure indoor location with the SmartKey stored separately.  3.1.9. Powering Off the INMOTION SCV  When you    lean INMOTION SCV    and put SCV backward , it will switch off Automatically. The digital display over the battery will also be off.    Power off the INMOTION SCV by pressing the Power Button (A) on the SmartKey.  The display on the SmartKey will show an icon and shut off.  3.2. Practice Drive You will need to become very familiar  with  your INMOTION SCV before you  attempt  to  ride  outside  of your controlled practice environment. The more you practice, the safer you will be when you move into new places. Remember the following as you practice:  Use  Training  Mode  and  ride  in  areas  free  of  obstacles  and  distractions  until  you  are  comfortable  on  your
  37 / 64  INMOTION SCV. Practice at the Training level until you can step on, ride forward and backward, turn, stop, and step off with the same precision and confidence as you walk.    With practice, you should be able to ride in narrow areas. Make sure you leave enough wheel clearance.    Until you can ride with this precision, do not attempt to ride outdoors.  Use caution when riding in new environments.  Be careful when riding through doorways.  Watch out for terrain transitions such as pavement to grass.  3.3. Short Handlebar Mode After users familiar with skillful usage of SCV, short handle accessories can bring better driving experience, Inmotion SCV set up a short handle mode. Short handle mode adjusted the parameters of the car specifically for riders, so that Inmotion SCV in short handle mode can be more flexible and swift.  3.4. Auxiliary Mode In Auxiliary Mode, the system will provide appropriate power to help the rider drag the INMOTION SCV when unwilling or unable to ride the SCV. Assisting Function works as below:  In power-on mode, a full left or right(that is when you cannot turn the handlebar to the left or right any further), it will enter Assist Mode automatically;  This mode can be started from any angle  Once you step off INMOTION SCV by one foot, it will    turn off the Assist Mode;    When riding in Assist Mode, i.e., both of your feet are on the Footboard, it will stay in Assist Mode when you step
  38 / 64  off; INMOTION SCV is capable to finish a full circle turning  The INMOTION SCV shifts to Speed Mode when either side of the Footboard Mat is stepped on.  Assist  Mode  is  disabled  and  Sleep  Mode  is  activated  when  the  rider  is  leaning  or  shaking  the  Turning  Shaft forward and backward at high frequency.  Assist Mode is disabled and Sleep Mode is activated after INMOTION SCV has still for 2 minutes.   See Section 2.6 SmartKey for more information on how to activate Assist Mode.  3.5. Remote Control The INMOTION SCV is just like a robot in Remote Control Mode. It can go forward, backward, turn, and stop with orders from the INMOTION App with Auto Walk function.     The INMOTION SCV will stand up automatically (get itself into a balance status when it is laid back) under Manual Control Mode when the INMOTION SCV and your App are linked. Now you can easily control your INMOTION SCV by toggling the buttons in the directions you want the SCV to go.   Avoid using the Remote Control Mode on slippery and wet surfaces. It  may result in  your Wheels slipping and  could cause serious injury or damage.    Activate the Remote Control Mode in an open area.  Be careful and avoid pedestriansand obstacles.
  39 / 64  3.6. Self-check Mode Self-check Mode allows you to run a thorough examination of your INMOTION SCV to see if any parameters have been shifted with by aging and environment. The INMOTION SCV will run tests under Self-check Mode and store the resulting data. Please refer to the smartphone app chapter in this manual for more information on self-check mode. The following chart shows which items are detected in Self-check Mode:  Item Description Steer Balance Run the Steer Balance calibration if you detect that your INMOTION SCV leans in an incorrect direction when it stands in balance. Footboard Mat Sensor Calibrate the Footboard Mat sensors to level up the sensitivity. RTC Time Calibrate internal timer(by GPRS and GPS info.) Encoder Absolute Position Calibrate absolute position of the encoder, lift efficiency of SCV     Activate Self-check Mode in an open area.  Park the INMOTION SCV on the ground and keep one meter distance from other objects.  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-check, causing injury or damage.
  40 / 64  3.7. Safety Alerts The INMOTION SCV is equipped with multiple safety alerts. It is important to understand these alerts before you attempt to ride your INMOTION SCV. 3.7.1. Speed Limiter 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. When the INMOTION SCV pushes the handlebar back, stop leaning forward and slow down. Always leave a gap between yourself  and  the  handlebar  to  ensure  safety  and  a  smoothly  ride.  When  you  slow  down,  INMOTION SCV  will  balance  itself according to your body movements.
  41 / 64    Continuing toaccelerate and rideagainst 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, and battery condition. The below list shows conditions that will trigger the speed limiter.    3.1.1 Safe Stop If  the  INMOTION  SCV  detects  severe  faults  or  restrictions  (such  as being outside the specified riding range), it performs a Safety Shutdown. When  a  Safety  Shutdown  occurs,  the  INMOTION  SCV  automatically reduces  its  speed,  gives the  Shaft 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.    Continuous climbing Motor temperature   Riding on bumpy roads High Circuit temperature   The moment it powers on Battery temperature too high or too low Low battery Continuous descending
  42 / 64     Never restart and ride your INMOTION SCV after it has indicated an empty Battery or performed  a Safety Shutdown due  to  low Battery. The  INMOTION  SCV  may not  have  enough power to keep you balanced, especially if  you  accelerate, which requiresmore power.    If you restart and continue riding after a Safety Shutdown due to low Battery, you risk falling. Also, you risk damaging your Battery Pack, resulting in reduced Battery life and capacity.  When wheel slip or procedure  errors,  the  wheel will be spinning. Immediately lift  SCV  and hold it  upside  down (the direction  of  the  handlebar  tilt 30  °  and  above)  until  the  wheels  will  stopspinning.  If  still  this  can  not  control  SCV,  please remove the battery, and then re-install it.One of the ways that the INMOTION SCV notifies you when you are at risk of falling is by vibrating and releasing a warning sound.   The following chart shows situations that trigger a Shaft Shake Warning, and recommended actions: Possible Causes Recommended Action Riding aggressively, accelerating or stopping abruptly. Ride smoothly. Riding against the Handlebar to speed up. Leave a gap between yourself and the handlebar. Riding on rough terrain or steep slopes. Ride on smoother and flatter terrain. Riding backwards too quickly. Stop, turn in place, and proceed forward. Safe Stop has been triggered. Come to a controlled stop and safely step off the Powerbase within 14 seconds. Pulling the INMOTION SCV too fast in the Assist Mode. Stably drag INMOTION SCV.
  43 / 64  Trying to get on when the angle is too great. Lay the Footboard at a moderate angle first. 3.8. Environmental Factors Affecting the Vehicle’s Performance 3.8.1. Riding Distance Riding  distance  per  charge  is  greatly  influenced  by  riding  habits  and  environmental  factors.  The  following  chart  shows factors that have great influence: Factors Possible Causes Road Condition Riding the INMOTION SCV on flat roads will increase riding distance per charge. On the contrary, riding on hillsides or steep slopes will decrease riding distance. Speed and Riding Habits Riding the INMOTION SCV with constant speed will increase riding distance per charge. Stepping on and off and speeding up and slowing down frequently will decrease riding distance. Load Riding the INMOTION SCV with a light cargo load will increase riding distance per charge. Temperature Riding the INMOTION SCV in cold weather will decrease riding distance per charge. The INMOTION SCV performs most efficiently when it is close to the center of the recommended riding temperature range.   Battery Condition Keeping the Battery in a good condition will increase riding distance per charge. Using an old, overloaded or poorly maintained Battery Pack will significantly decrease riding distance.   Wind Direction Riding with the wind behind you will increase riding distance per charge.  3.8.2. Riding in High Temperatures The  temperature  of  the  components  (including  the  Motor,  Battery  Pack,  Riding  System,  etc.)  is  raised  when  riding  the INMOTION SCV in warm weather. Thiscould affect the INMOTION SCV’s service life. If the components get excessively hot
  44 / 64  (≥50℃or 122 °F ) while riding the INMOTION SCV will slow down automatically. The hotter the components are, the lower the speed will be. If the components get very hot (≥80℃  or 176 °F ) while riding, the INMOTION SCV may activate a safety alert. You should stop riding immediately and wait until the components cool off before you continue your ride.  3.8.3. Riding in Cold Temperatures Too  low temperatures will deteriorate component lubrication and increase resistance.  Also the battery discharge capability and capacity will decrease dramatically in a low temperature environment. Avoid applying drastic actions with your INMOTION SCV in cold temperatures(≤-5℃  or 23 °F ), or you could 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 periods of continuous climbing. Even though  the  system will slow your speed  while climbing,  we still  suggest you  avoid  long periods  of continuous climbing.  3.8.5. Descending The  INMOTION  SCV  will  collect  energy  while  descending,  and  the  motor  will  work  as  a  power  generator  and  store electricity in the Battery Pack. Thus continuous descents will allow you to travel longer distances on one charge. When  the  battery  is  full,  charging  the  battery  this  way  could  cause  damage  to  the  battery,  therefore  the  system  will automatically lower the max speed to reduce the possibility of excessive charging.
  45 / 64   4. Using the Battery Pack                                       This chapter describes how to charge and maintain your INMOTION SCV Battery Pack. 4.1.
