Before Riding

There are safety risks when learning to ride the Segway Drift. You must read this User Manual and follow the New Rider Tutorial by scanning the QR code on the Welcome Card before your first ride.
Whenever the Segway Drift is powered on, it MUST stay on the ground. To avoid injury do not touch the wheel with any part of your body.

Standby Mode: The Segway Drift will enter Standby Mode when the Segway Drift is powered on and parked on the ground.

Balance Mode: The Segway Drift will enter Balance Mode when it is gently touched on the tilted end.

Learning to Ride

1. Vehicle Control Practice
   
   1. Turn on one mainframe, put single foot on the middle of the foot mat, then swing back and forth to feel the control.
   2. Switch to the other foot, then swing back and forth to feel the control.

2. Get Ready
   Ask a friend to assist you on your first ride. Go to a large open area. Place both mainframes shoulder width apart and put them into Balance Mode.
   
   

3. Stepping On
   With assistance from your friend, put one foot on the middle of the mainframe's foot mat. When comfortable, stand straight and look straight ahead while stepping up with your other foot. Try to avoid rocking back and forth.

Calibration and Alarms

• Calibration
  When in Balance Mode, if the Segway Drift moves forward or backward on its own on flat ground, it needs to be calibrated. If the problem persists, please contact after-sales service.
  To Calibrate the Segway Drift:

1. Place the Segway Drift upside down on flat ground and power it on. The wheel will spin. Be sure to keep your hands away from the spinning wheel as this could cause injury.
   
   

2. Once the wheel starts spinning, power off your Segway Drift. This will complete the calibration.
   

Once powered on, the Segway Drift must stay on the ground. To avoid injury do not touch the wheel with any part of your body.

• Alarms

1. Overheating
   Riding for an extended period of time could increase the internal temperature of your Segway Drift in excess of 122°F (50º C). If this happens, the glow lights will flash red, an alarm will sound and your Segway Drift will not be able to charge. Simply step off the Segway Drift, power it off, and give it time to cool back down to a normal operating temperature.
   To avoid injury, do not touch or ride the Segway Drift while there is an alarm and the glow lights are flashing red.
2. Other Alarms
   For any other alarms, try restarting your Segway Drift. If the problem persists, please contact after-sales service.

Maintenance

Cleaning and Storing Your Segway Drift
Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe the mainframe clean. Hard to remove dirt can be scrubbed with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then cleaned with a soft, wet cloth.

NOTE
The IP Rating of the mainframe is IP54, IP Rating of the battery pack is IPX6. Do not wash your Segway Drift with alcohol, gasoline, acetone, or other corrosive/volatile solvents. These substances may damage the appearance and internal structure of your Segway Drift. Do not wash your Segway Drift with a power washer or high pressure hose.

Make sure the Segway Drift is powered OFF, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber cap on the charge port is tightly sealed before cleaning; otherwise you may expose yourself to electric shock or damage the electronic components.
Store your Segway Drift in a cool, dry place. Do not store it outdoors for extended periods of time. Exposure to sunlight and temperature extremes (both hot and cold) will accelerate the aging process of the plastic components and may reduce battery life.

Battery Pack Maintenance
Do not store or charge the battery at temperatures outside the stated limits (see Specifications). Do not expose the battery to fire. Do not discard or destroy the battery. Refer to your local laws and regulations regarding battery recycling and/or disposal.
A well maintained battery can perform well even after many miles of riding. Charge the battery after each ride and avoid draining the battery completely. When used at room temperature (70°F [22°C]) the battery range and performance is at its best; whereas using it at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) can decrease range and performance. Typically, at 14°F (-10°C) range can be half that of the same battery at 70°F (22°C). Battery range will recover when temperature rises.

NOTE
Typically, a fully charged battery should retain charge for 120-180 days. Remember to charge the battery after each use. Completely draining the battery may cause permanent damage to the battery. Electronics inside the battery record the charge-discharge condition of the battery; damage caused by over-discharge or under-discharge will not be covered by the Limited Warranty.

Do not attempt to disassemble the battery. Risk of fire. No user serviceable parts.

Do not ride when the ambient temperature is outside the machine operation temperature(see Specifications) because low/high temperature will limit the maximum power/torque. Doing so could cause personal injury or property damage due to slips or falls.

Riding Safety

1. The Segway Drift is a recreational product. Before mastering riding skills, you need to practice. Neither Ninebot (Ninebot (Beijing) Tech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliates) nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any injuries or damage caused by a rider's inexperience or failure to follow the instructions in this document.
2. Remember that whenever you ride the Segway Drift you risk injury or death from loss of control, collisions, and falls. You can reduce the risk by following all the instructions and warnings in this manual, but you cannot eliminate all the risks. When riding in public spaces always comply with local laws and regulations. As with other vehicles, faster speeds require longer braking distance. Sudden braking on smooth surfaces could lead to wheel slip, loss of balance, or falls. The Segway Drift is designed to be ridden on a flat hard surface which is free of obstacles and bumps. Be cautious and always keep a safe distance between you and other people or vehicles when riding. Be alert and slow down when entering unfamiliar areas.
3. Always wear a helmet when riding. Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly with the chin strap in place, and provides protection for the back of your head.
4. Do not attempt your first ride in any area where you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets, vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards.
5. Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down. Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing. Pass on the left whenever possible. Please obey local traffic laws and regulations.
6. In places without laws and regulations governing self-balancing electric vehicles, comply with the safety guidelines outlined in this manual. Neither Ninebot nor Segway Inc. is responsible for any property damage, personal injury/death, accidents, or legal disputes caused by violations of the safety instructions.
7. Do not allow anyone to ride your Segway Drift on his/her own unless he/she has carefully read this manual, and followed the New Rider Tutorial by scanning the QR Code on the Welcome Card. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist new riders until they are comfortable with the basic operation of the Segway Drift. Make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.
8. Before each ride check for loose fasteners and damaged components. If the Segway Drift makes abnormal sounds or signals an alarm, stop riding immediately and contact after-sales service.
9. Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of your Segway Drift — your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and low traction surfaces (including, but not limited to, wet ground, loose sand, loose gravel, and ice).

10. To reduce risk of injury, you must read and follow all "CAUTION"(), "Tips"( * ), and "WARNING"( ) notices in this document. Do not ride at an unsafe speed. Under no circumstance should you ride on roads with motor vehicles.
    The manufacturer recommends riders be 6+ years old. Always follow these safety instructions:
    1. People who should not ride the Segway Drift include:
       1. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
       2. Anyone who suffers from disease that puts himself/herself at risk if he/she engages in strenuous physical activity.
       3. Anyone who has problems with balance or with motor skills that would interfere with their ability to maintain balance.
       4. Anyone whose weight is outside the stated limits (see Specifications).
       5. Pregnant women.
    2. Riders under the age of 16 years old should ride under adult supervision.
    3. Comply with local laws and regulations when riding this product. Do not ride where prohibited by local laws.
    4. To ride safely, you must be able to clearly see what is in front of you and you must be clearly visible to others.
    5. Do not ride in the snow, in the rain, or on roads which are wet, muddy, icy, or that are slippery for any reason. Do not ride over obstacles (including, but not limited to, sand, loose gravel, or sticks). Doing so could result in a loss of balance or traction and could cause a fall.
    6. Do not ride the Segway Drift in the rain. Riding in the rain may cause the Segway Drift to be immersed in water, resulting in function damage and even a risk of fire and explosion due to a wet battery pack. Damage and losses caused by water submersion are not covered by the Limited Warranty.
    7. Do not accelerate or decelerate suddenly. If the Segway Drift tilts back, you have reached the speed limit, slow down. Do not overpower the speed limiter or you risk injury from loss of control, collisions and falls.
11. Do not attempt to charge your Segway Drift, if it, the charger, or the power outlet is wet.
12. As with any electronic device, use a surge protector when charging to help protect your Segway Drift from damage due to power surges and voltage spikes. Only use the Segway supplied charger. Do not use a charger from any other product.
13. Use only Ninebot or Segway approved parts and accessories. Do not modify your Segway Drift. Modifications to your Segway Drift could interfere with the operation of the Segway Drift, resulting in serious injury and/or damage, and could void the Limited Warranty.
