HOW TO RIDE

Get ready to ride with swag! The below instructions will ensure that you have a comfortable and safe riding experience with your SWAGTRON® unit. Please read it carefully as this information is very important.

OPERATING STEPS

Before you begin operation, charge your SWAGTRON® unit with the included power adapter. Charge time can take up to 2-3 hours.

1. Press the POWER BUTTON to turn on your SWAGTRON unit.
   
2. Step on one PEDAL to trigger the foot-switch. The system will enter self-balancing mode. Then step on the second pedal with your other foot quickly.
   
3. Stand upright but relaxed. Do not make any sudden or jerking movements.

The SWAGTRON has 4 sensors below the pedals. When the rider steps on a pedal, the SWAGTRON will adjust itself to balance automatically.

If the SWAGTRON does not enter self-balancing mode when triggering the foot-switch, the warning LED will light up. DO NOT operate the SWAGTRON under these conditions. Please power the unit off and back on again. If this fails to work, please re-calibrate the SWAGTRON.

If you are on a slope, move the SWAGTRON to a flat area. If you are still receiving the warning light, contact SWAGTRON® technical support immediately.

NOTE:
When riding the SWAGTRON, you must make sure both feet are touching the pedals for proper detection. Do not put other objects on the pedals, as it could cause the system to lock or self-drive.

NOTE:

• Do not tilt forward or backwards beyond 10 degrees, as the unit may malfunction.
• The SWAGTRON will not function if your unit fl ips upside down.
• Avoid uneven or rocky surfaces as the SWAGTRON may not function properly.
• Avoid hills or slopes of more than 30 degrees incline.
• When the operator exceeds the maximum speed, the SWAGTRON will sound a warning alarm.

DIAGRAM OF OPERATION

The SWAGTRON® self-balances and moves because of Dynamic Equilibrium. This is generated by the shifting of your body weight and uses an internal gyroscope with 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 towards the opposite direction.

MOVE FORWARD
Shift your weight forward to move directly ahead.

STOP
Align your body to an upright, straight position.

TURNING LEFT
Shift your weight slightly on the RIGHT PEDAL to turn left.

TURNING RIGHT
Shift your weight slightly on the LEFT PEDAL to turn right.

STEPPING OFF THE SWAGTRON
Make sure the SWAGTRON® is completely stopped, then step back with dominant foot, then quickly step off with the other foot. Please be careful!

The SWAGTRON 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 if you take a foot off of the board. Slow down before turning or you will fall off and be injured.

NOTE:

• Avoid turning suddenly when riding fast, as this may result in accidents.
• Avoid riding sideways or turning on slopes. The self-balancing sensors may malfunction and may require recalibration.
• Do not step on the center pivot point of the SWAGTRON.
• If the T1 flips over or rotates more than 180 degrees, motor and riding capability will be disabled. To restore normal functions, power off the unit then and power the unit back on. After this, continue to ride as normal.

CALIBRATION

If your SWAGTRON® seems to pull to the left or right during your ride, you may need to recalibrate its sensors. The process requires a flat stable surface and optionally a level (available at any hardware store.)

1. Power your SWAGTRON off.
2. Rotate the SWAGTRON until both wheel bases are level to the ground. We recommend using a level for best results.
3. While the SWAGTRON remains level, hold the POWER BUTTON down to turn on the unit and keep holding the button down.
4. Wait an additional 3 seconds and you will hear a single beep. Release the POWER BUTTON and the front LEDs will begin flashing.
5. Press the POWER BUTTON again to turn the SWAGTRON off.
6. Once again, press the POWER BUTTON to turn on your newly calibrated SWAGTRON unit.

If the SWAGTRON® is still not calibrated correctly, repeat step 1 to 6 or contact customer support for additional assistance.

SAFE RIDING TECHNIQUES

We sincerely hope every operator can ride the SWAGTRON® safely. Think back to when you fi rst learned to ride a bike, drive a car, or skateboard.

Although the SWAGTRON® is designed with gyroscopic balancing technology in order to maintain maximum stability, it is still possible to "override" the SWAGTRON® and tip over when riding too fast for the conditions. Following these techniques can help ensure that you have a safe, fun riding experience on the SWAGTRON®.

• SWAGTRON® highly recommends wearing appropriate clothing and safety gear including knee pads, elbow pads, wrist braces, and an ASTM F1492 approved helmet for ALL riders of ALL ages at ALL times. Remember safety before Swag!
• When going through doorways, remember that you are four inches (10 cm) taller on the SWAGTRON®.
• Avoid wearing anything that can drape over or get caught into/under the wheels. + Wear fl at shoes to maintain fl exibility and stability.
• Make sure your feet are always on the pedals. Taking your feet off the SWAGTRON® while riding is incredibly dangerous.
• Ride on even pavement or smooth roads. Relax your legs while riding, knees slightly bent. This helps maintain balance when you encounter uneven grounds.
• Ensure the vehicle speed is safe to yourself and others, and be ready to stop at any time.
• When riding near others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions.
• Be alert to your surroundings in order to ensure a safe ride. Your eyes are your best tool to safely avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces.
• Stay in open spaces and fl at areas. Avoid steeps slopes or high traffi c areas until you're familiar with riding.
• The SWAGTRON® can only support the weight of one person at a time.
• Remember, only ride the SWAGTRON® where it is permitted. You MUST comply with local laws and give way to pedestrians.

Never ride at high speeds on uneven terrain or slopes.
Never perform stunts or turn abruptly without checking your surroundings.
Never carry one or more passengers on the SWAGTRON® with you.
Never carry heavy items while riding.
Never ride in the rain, dark, or dimly lit areas.
Never use the SWAGTRON® to do anything that may cause personal injury or property damage.
Never ride backwards for long distances or at high speeds.
Never step off the SWAGTRON® when it is in motion.
Never place anything on the rider detection pads except your feet. Doing so could interfere with the Rider Detection system and may allow the SWAGTRON® to travel on its own, risking collision with a person or property and causing injury or damage.
Never operate your SWAGTRON® near flammable vapor, liquids, dust, or other fire hazards.
Never ride your SWAGTRON® after consumption of alcohol, drugs, or while intoxicated. You can be arrested for drunk driving.
