02 031 Riding Safety 1. The Smart is a recreational product, which is dierent from motor vehicles driven on the road. Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither Ninebot Inc. nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any injuries or damage caused by a rider's inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this document.2. Please understand that you can reduce the risk by following all the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks. Remember that whenever you ride the Smart you risk injury or death from loss of control, collisions, and falls. When entering into public spaces always comply with the local laws and regulations. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer braking distance. Sudden braking on smooth surfaces could lead to wheel slip, loss of balance, or falls. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and other people or vehicles when riding. Be alert and slow down when entering unfamiliar areas.3. Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down. Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing.4. In places without laws and regulations governing self-balancing electric vehicles, comply with the safety guidelines outlined in this manual. Neither Ninebot Inc. nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any property damage, personal injury/death, accidents, or legal disputes caused by violations of the safety instructions.5. Do not allow anyone to ride the Smart on his/her own unless they have carefully read this manual,watched the safety video, and followed the New Rider Tutorial on the Ninebot by Segway App. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Spot new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the Smart. Make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.6. Before each ride check for loose fasteners, damaged components, and low tire pressure. If the Smart makes abnormal sounds or signals an alarm, immediately stop riding. Diagnose your Smart via the Ninebot by Segway App and call your dealer/distributor for service.7. Always wear a helmet when riding. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and provides protection for the back of your head.8. Do not attempt your first ride in any area where you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets,vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards.9. Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of your Smart — your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and low traction surfaces (including, but not limited to, wet ground, loose sand, loose gravel, and ice).10. To reduce risk of injury, you must read and follow all “CAUTION” and “WARNING” notices in this document. Do not ride at an unsafe speed. Under no circumstance should you ride on roads with motor vehicles. Always follow these safety instructions:A. The following people should not ride the Smart:i. The manufacturer recommends riders be between the ages of 14-60 years old. Riders between 14-18 years old should ride under adult supervision.ii. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.iii. Anyone who suers from disease that puts them at risk if they engage in strenuous physical activity.iv. Anyone who has problems with balance or with motor skills that would interfere with their ability to maintain balance.v. Anyone whose height or weight is outside the stated limits (see Specifications).B. Comply with local laws and regulations when riding this product. Do not ride where prohibited by local laws.C. To ride safely, you must be able to clearly see what is in front of you and you must be clearly visible to others.D. Do not ride in the snow, in the rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for any reason. Do not ride over obstacles (sand, loose gravel, or sticks). Doing so could result in a loss of balance or traction and could cause a fall.E. Do not accelerate or decelerate suddenly. Do not accelerate when the Smart tilts back or sounds an alarm. Do not attempt to override the speed limiter.11. Do not insert the power cord if the charge port is wet.12. Use a surge protector when charging to help protect your Smart from damage due to power surges and voltage spikes. Only use the Segway supplied charger. Do not use a charger from any other product.13. Use only Ninebot by Segway approved parts and accessories. Do not modify your Smart. Modifications to your Smart could interfere with the operation of the Smart, could result in serious injury and/or damage, and could void the Limited Warranty.14. Do not sit on the steering bar. Doing so could result in serious injury and/or damage to your Smart.

16 17Cleaning and Storing Your SmartUse a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then cleaned with a soft, wet cloth. Scratches on plastic parts can be polished with extra fine grit abrasive paper.NOTEDo not wash your Smart with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances may damage the appearance and internal structure of your Smart. Do not wash your Smart with a power washer or high pressure hose. WARNINGMake sure the Smart is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is tightly sealed before cleaning; otherwise you may expose yourself to electric shock or damage the electronic components.Store your Smart in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Exposure to sunlight and temperature extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may reduce battery life.Tire PressureInflate tires to 35–50 psi. Inflate both tires equally.Battery Pack MaintenanceDo not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications). Do not discard or destroy the battery. For more battery information, refer to the sticker on the battery itself, located on the bottom of the Smart. Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal.A well maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best; whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically, at -4°F (-20°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when temperature rises. More details are available in the App.NOTETypically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 120-180 days in Standby Mode. A low-power battery should retain charge for 30-60 days in Standby Mode. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to the battery. Electronics inside the battery record the charge-discharge condition of the battery; damage caused by over-discharge or under-discharge will not be covered by the Limited Warranty. WARNINGRisk of fire. No user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery. WARNINGWe strongly recommend against riding when the ambient temperature is below 23°F (-5°C) because low temperature will limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls.11 Maintenance 12 Specifications16[1] Typical Range: tested while riding under full power, 154 lbs (70 kg) load, 77°F (25°C), 9.3 mph (15 km/h) average speed on pavement.[2] Continuous Discharge Power: tested while under full power at 77°F (25°C). The value changes with temperature and remaining battery capacity. For example, the continuous discharge power drops to ~80% of the maximum value at 10% remaining battery capacity, and the continuous discharge power drops to ~70% of the maximum value at 32°F (0°C).
