Function Description
The GOTRAX E3 hoverboard is an electric self-balancing scooter that allows riders to move by shifting their body weight. It features two footpads that respond to pressure, enabling forward, backward, and turning movements. The hoverboard is powered by an internal battery and includes a Bluetooth speaker for audio playback, enhancing the riding experience.
Usage Features
Getting Started:
Before riding, it's crucial to read the entire user manual, especially for riders under 18, who require parental permission. Always wear a helmet and ensure the hoverboard has a full battery. Be aware of local road laws and respect pedestrians. Avoid riding under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and do not ride in wet conditions, as this can cause injury and damage the electronics, voiding the warranty. The hoverboard has a maximum speed of 8.1 mph.
Unpacking:
Upon unpacking, verify that you have the hoverboard and the approved power adapter/charging unit. Inspect all items for any accidental damage from shipping.
Components:
The hoverboard comes fully assembled and includes footpads, a power button, and a charger port.
Charging:
Before the first use, the battery must be fully charged. Insert the charging plug into the port. The charger box will display a red light during charging and a green light when fully charged. A full charge typically takes 2-3 hours. Only use the approved GOTRAX power adapter to prevent fire risks and equipment damage. Store the hoverboard and power adapter within a temperature range of 32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain, and other elements can damage the materials, so store the hoverboard indoors when not in use.
