Archos eKart Quick Start Manual page 5

You can either use the hoverboard alone or combine it with the kart.
Using the hoverboard
The hoverboard self-balances and moves because of Dynamic Equilibrium. It uses an internal
gyroscope and acceleration sensors to move based on your center of gravity. When you lean
forward, it will sense your actions and accelerate. When you need to turn, slow down and gently
shift the weight on your left or right foot to turn the opposite direction.
It has an inertial dynamic stabilization system that keeps you upright. However, it
will stop detecting you if you lean too far left or right or you take a foot off the board. Slow
down before turning or you will fall off and be injured.
1. Press the power switch to turn on the hoverboard.
2. Get ready to drive. First, step on one pedal to trigger the foot-switch. The system will enter self-
balancing mode. Then step on with your other foot.
3. Stand upright but relaxed. Do not make any sudden or jerky movements. Shift your weight forward or
back to control the hoverboard.
4. Shift your weight to turn. Putting more weight on your right foot turns left. Putting more weight on
your left foot turns right.
5. Get off. Before you get off, make sure that the hoverboard is stopped, then step off one foot at a time.
Please be careful.
Do not turn suddenly while driving fast, accidents will result.
Do not ride sideways or turn on a slope. The self-balancing sensors will malfunction, jeopardizing your
safety
