BEFORE RIDING

Any PIONEER Scooter that does not work properly can cause you to lose control and fall. Do not ride an PIONEER with a part that is damaged; replace the damaged part before riding.

It is important that you fully understand all elements of your PIONEER scooter. If these elements are not used correctly, you will not have full control of your PIONEER. Before you ride, learn the functions of the various mechanisms on your scooter.

Practice using these elements of your PIONEER at slower speeds in a flat, open area before taking the device out in public areas.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Ensure that your PIONEER is in proper working order each and every time you ride. If a part of the PIONEER scooter does not function correctly, please contact our Customer Support Center.

• Ensure the battery is fully charged before riding your scooter.
• If the PIONEER scooter is not used for an extended period of time, you may need to recharge the battery every 2 months to maintain the battery life.
• Please wear all appropriate safety and protective gear as previously mentioned in the User Manual before operating your device.
• Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and flat closed-toe shoes when operating your device.
• Please carefully read the Operation Manual, which will assist in explaining the basic working principles and provide tips on how to best enjoy your experience.

RIDING ON YOUR UNIT

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

OPERATING YOUR DEVICE

Make sore the device is fully charged before the first initial Use. Before turning on your PIONEER scooter, ride it like a normal kick scooter to get comfortable with the device before using it with the motor.
When comfortable riding the scooter, power it on. For the motor to activate, you must first start tiding the scooter and then push the throttle down with your thumb.

To slow down the scooter, disengage the Throttle and squeeze the Brake handle to engage the disk brake. The Brake is pressure sensitive so a tighter grip means more stopping power.
To turn, use the handlebar to turn in the direction you wish to turn.
The PIONEER scooter can be operated manually if you do not wish to use the motor.

As you get comfortable on the device, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.
Prepare to brace yourself if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then dismount and caw your PIONEER to a safe operating surface.

Do not turn sharply or at high speeds to avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.

WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS

Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed in the "Specifications" section of this manual.

Overweight exertion on the device may increase possibility of injury or product damage.

OPERATING RANGE

The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your device.

• Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance significantly.
• Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the device under recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance; battery life, and overall performance of your device.
• Speed and Riding Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling and frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease overall distance.

*Do not attempt to stop suddenly as this may lead to injury or damage to your brake discs.

Proper use of your brake is vital to ensure safe, efficient stopping. To avoid misuse and potential injury, do not apply sudden or excessive force to your brake. Apply the brake gradually and give yourself enough room to come to a complete stop safely.

Please follow all local, state and federal laws in regards to recycling, handling and disposing of Lithium-ion Battery.

SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF YOU ARE EXPOSED TO ANY SUBSTANCE THAT IS EMITTED FROM THE BATTERY.

SAFETY ALERTS

While riding your PIONEER Scooter, if there is a system error or illegal operation performed the device will prompt the User in a variety of ways.

The following are common occurrences where you will see Safety Alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure or errors.

• Prohibited riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.)
• Battery voltage is too low.
• The device is still charging.
• Overheating, or motor temperature is too high.
• When the battery is about to run out of power, the battery icon will flash.
• If any or both tires are blocked, the device will stop after 10 seconds.

While sustaining a high discharge current during use (such as riding up a steep slope for a long period of time), the device motor will power off after 15 seconds.

ERROR CODES

SAFETY

HELMETS SAVE LIVES!
Always wear a properly fitted helmet that complies with CPSC or CE safety standards when you ride your scooter.

Correct Fitting:
Make sure your helmet covers your forehead.

Incorrect Fitting:
Forehead is exposed and vulnerable to serious injury.

As with all mechanical components, the Hover-1 PIONEER is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear or fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratch or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced. Do not ride in an abusive manner.

In this manual, the CAUTION sign indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can cause minor or moderate injury.

In this manual, the WARNING sign indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can cause death or serious injury.
