Function Description:

The GOTRAX Pulse Basic is an electric hoverboard that allows riders to move by shifting their weight. It features self-balancing technology, making it intuitive to control. The hoverboard is powered by an internal battery and controlled by footpads that detect pressure and angle changes to initiate movement, acceleration, and turning. It is designed for use on smooth surfaces such as carparks, smooth roads, and footpaths.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Top Speed: 6.2 mph
• Distance per Charge: 3.1 miles
• Weight Range Up To: 176 lbs (80 kg)
• Battery Type: 25.2V 2.6Ah
• Battery Charger: DC29.4V 0.6A
• Charge Time: 5 hours
• Power Requirements: AC100-240V~50/60Hz 0.8A Max.

Usage Features:

• Power On/Off: To power the hoverboard on or off, press and hold the Power Button located on the back of the hoverboard for 2 seconds.
• Acceleration (Forward): Gently push down with your toes. Riders should be prepared to lean forward slightly as the board accelerates.
• Acceleration (Backward): Gently lift your toes. Riders should be prepared to lean backward as the board accelerates.
• Turning Right: Push gently down with your left toes. Riders should be prepared to shift their weight to the right.
• Turning Left: Push gently down with your left toes. Riders should be prepared to shift their weight to the left.
• Stopping: Return to an upright position with your weight evenly balanced to slow down and stop.
• Mounting: It is recommended to mount the hoverboard from the rear, identified by the power button and charging port. Place the hoverboard on the ground in front of your feet, step with one foot onto the platform, and then quickly step up with your second foot.
• Dismounting: Always dismount from the back of the hoverboard.
• Low Battery Indicator: When the battery is low, the hoverboard will beep and flash a red LED light. Riders should get off and charge the hoverboard immediately.
• Overheat Alarm: If the motor overheats due to prolonged high-speed running, the hoverboard will beep continuously and move very slowly. A red light will flash. If running continues, the control system will cut off power to protect the motor. Riders should stop riding and allow the motor to cool down.

Maintenance Features:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the hoverboard to extend its life. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe it clean if dirty.
  • DO NOT use alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, or other corrosive chemical solvents, as these can severely damage the hoverboard's appearance and structure.
  • DO NOT use a pressure washer, as it may damage the electronics.
• Storage: Store the hoverboard in a dry and cool location when not in use. Avoid storing it outdoors, as sun exposure can damage its appearance and cause wear on the battery and tires.
• Calibration: If experiencing issues, calibrating the hoverboard can resolve common problems.
  1. Start with the hoverboard powered off.
  2. Adjust the foot pedals until they are level with each other and the ground.
  3. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds; the LED lights will flash.

• Battery Information:
  • Only use the approved GOTRAX power adapter for charging to prevent fire risk and equipment damage.
