4.Getting Started
4.1 Charging
Charging Notes: Plug the balanced wheel to the charger before connecting the charger to power supply. Please
continue to charge for 20mins after the LED indicators are on green for the first time. Please keep calm and relaxed. It
helps imagine the platform as flat ground and trust that you will regain your balance with the help of the built-in gyro-
system.
Please stand upright and rely on your learning partner to hold on to the handlebar for balance initially. After getting used
to standing on the wheel you should be able to ascend and descend form the balanced wheel independently.
a. Hold on to the handlebar with two hands. Step on and look straight ahead.
b. Put one foot onto the platform first.
c. Shift your centre of gravity on the platform gradually before lifting another foot (imagine going up a flight of
stairs).
d. Please try not to move the handlebar laterally and put another foot onto the platform.
e. Keep calm and relaxed and look forward as shown below.
