DOC BALANCE SCOOTER: DESCRIPTION

DOC BALANCE SCOOTER is a self-balancing electric skateboard.

The move forwards, backwards, turn and stop funcons are controlled by gentle and balanced movements on the footboards.

Very easy to use, easy to control and incredibly fun.

1) Foot-board
2) Status indicators
3) Mudguard
4) Proteceve shell
5) Direcon indicators

DOC moves thanks to the concept of dynamic balance. It uses an internal system of sensors and gyroscopes that allow it to move on the basis of the variaon of the centre of gravity, instructing the wheels in real time to turn forwards or backwards to remain in a position of balance. By leaning forwards, you will move forwards and the angle of inclinaon determines the speed at which you move. To turn it is sucient to gently transfer your weight to one of your feet. DOC BALANCE SCOOTER has a system of ineral stabilizaon, which helps you to maintain a vercal posion; if it noces an excessive inclinaon of your body towards either side or lack of contact of the footboard by either of your feet it will stop automatically.

BEFORE TURNING, YOU HAVE TO REDUCE THE SPEED OF DOC.

DOC has 4 sensors under the pedals.

When you climb onto the footboards DOC balances automacally.

To use it you need to ensure that you are touching both the footboards.

Be careful not to place your foot on the external part of the footboards, as DOC may not realize you are there.

Do not lean forwards or backwards excessively and do not drive on a slope.

Do not lean objects on the pedals, as this will result in DOC nocing a constant presence and prevent it from stopping thus significantly increasing the possibility of falls or damage to the vehicle.

DO NOT PUT YOUR WEIGHT IN THE CENTRAL PART OF DOC BALANCE SCOOTER; THIS IS WHERE THE MECHANICAL STEERING MECHANISM IS HOUSED. AN EXCESSIVE WEIGHT COULD RESULT IN IT BREAKING OR NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY.

CONTROL LIGHTS

The control indicators are in the centre of your DOC BALANCE SCOOTER: a status indicator of the baery and a status indicator of the pedals.

The baery control light can be:

Green: this means that the baery is fully charged.
- Flashing green: means the baery has a charge of circa 50% .
- Red: baery with less than 20% charge. In this case, stop using DOC and charge the baery.

The pedals indicator can be:

• Green: a foot has been placed on the pedal and the balancing system is operang correctly.
• Red: a foot has been placed on the pedal, but the balancing system is not operang correctly, usually in the event of excessive lateral slopes.

IF ONE OF THE 2 INDICATORS BECOMES RED, GET OFF DOC IMMEDIATELY, AS THE SYSTEM IS UNSTABLE.

SAFE USE

We are certain that you will be able to use DOC BALANCE SCOOTER with absolute peace of mind and have a great deal of fun. All you need is a life pracce at the start, in order to fully master this new means of transport: you have probably already learned how to ride a bike, use a skateboard and ski. These experiences will help you to master your DOC BALANCE SCOOTER in a short space of me.

• Read the manual carefully.
• Before using it for the rst me, make sure that the res are not damaged and that there are no missing mechanical parts.
• Never use DOC with the aim of damaging people or things.
• Do not amend the mechanical parts. Since it is a highly technological device, any tampering or amendment could result in irregular performance.

While using the DOC balance scooter make sure to take all necessary security measures; in particular we remind, once more, that is recommended to wear a helmet, kneepads, elbow pads, gloves, etc.

There are two fundamental reasons for weight limit:
- Ensure the safety of driver.
- Reduce the overload of DOC balance scooter.

• The maximum weight of the driver is 100kg .
• The minimum weight of the driver is 20kg .

SPEEDLIMIT

• The maximum speed of DOC balance scooter is 15km/hour .
  Below this speed, DOC easily maintains the driver's balance.
• When the speed exceeds the specied limit, please slow down and bring the vehicle speed back within the safety range.
• If the maximum speed is exceeded the DOC will make an alarm sound.

DISTAN CES YOU CAN TRAVEL

If DOC is driven on at terrain, the distance that can be covered increases.
If the terrain is not at the distance you will be able to cover will be smaller.
The driver's weight acts the distance that can be covered.
- Correct charging and maintenance of the baery increase the baery life. The opposite is true in the case incorrect charging and maintenance.
- A driving style with connual accelerators and braking reduces the duraon of the baery.

SLOPES

• Do not use DOC on routes with gradients of more than 30% .
• If the gradient exceeds 30% , you risk losing control of DOC.

HOW TO DRIVE DOC

You must read the following instrucons carefully before geng onto DOC.

TO START

• Press the power buoyon to start DOC.
• As you get on, put one foot on the side of the footboard; DOC will noce the weight and will acvate the balancing system.
• Slowly li the other foot and then put it back on the ground.
• Pracce liing your foot and bringing back down to the ground for a few mes unl you are able to li it without making DOC sway from side to side.
  Try to keep your head held high as much as possible and look ahead.
• When you are easily able to lie your foot from the ground without DOC moving slowly place your other foot on the pedal.

TO GET ON SAFELY WE REMIND THE USER THAT IS PROHIBITED TO JUMP ONTO DOC.

• Get control of the frontal movements of DOC and remember that movements of the body axis must not be too broad or made through sharp and sudden movements.
  Always maintain control of lateral movements (to the right and to the le).
• Before geng o DOC, make sure it is completely staonary.
• Alight, by removing one foot at a me from the footboard.

THE FIRST TIMES YOU USE DOC IT IS QUITE NORMAL TO SWAY BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS INVOLUNTARILY.

WARNING!

GET OFF ALWAYS FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO AVOID RISKS OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND FALLING.

IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE AUTO BALANCING, WHEN YOU GET ONTO THE FOOTBOARD THE LED ALARM LIGHT WILL SWITCH ON. DO NOT USE DOC, WAIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN. IF YOU ARE ON A SLOPE, MOVE TO FLAT TERRAIN.

EN

RUNNING

As explained above DOC BALANCE SCOOTER moves on the basis of the percepon of the body's centre of gravity upon it.

As a result:

• If there is an excessive lateral inclinaon, DOC will noce more weight on the external footboard and will tend to curve.
• A perfectly vercal posion keeps DOC staonary, a slight movement forwards or backwards will make DOC start in the respecve direcon.
  The pressure on the right or le footboard will make it curve to the right or le.

DO NOT MAKE SHARP TURNS OR TURNS AT HIGH SPEEDS: THESE ARE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR DRIVING DOC BALANCE SCOOTER.

DO NOT DRIVE OVER CROSS SLOPES OR IN REVERSE.

THIS TYPE OF CONDUCT AFFECTS THE DRIVING SAFETY OF DOC.

PROTECTION FUNCTION S

There follows a list of the anomalies that could lead to the protecon funcons of DOC BALANCE SCOOTER being acvated.

During use, if the system notes the presence of errors or the loss of balance, it will warn the user of these anomalies, through control lights and intermittent alarm sounds. Example:

• Driving on slopes with a gradient of more than 10 percent.
• When the voltage of the baery is too low.
• In the event of speed that is excessively high.
• In the event of the baery being exhausted.
  In the event of oscillaon forwards and backwards for more than 30 seconds.

If the system goes into protecon mode, the alarm sensors switch on and the control lights start to sound.

If the baery reaches a voltage that is lower than the minimum value of protecon, aer 15 seconds DOC will switch o automatically. In the event of the wheels becoming blocked, aer 2 seconds, DOC will switch o automatically.

In the event of acvies which involve a significant consumpon of energy (lengthy climbs, particularly steep descents), the vehicle could acvate the automac turning o mode.

IN THE ABOVE CIRCUMSTANCES STEP DOWN FROM DOC BALANCE SCOOTER AND SUSPEND USE OF IT: THE AUTO-BALANCING MIGHT NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE YOU TO FALL.

DRIVING PRACTICE AND SAFE DRIVING

Before using the vehicle on the road, or in an external area, make sure you have mastered it succinctly:

It is advisable to wear comfortable clothes and shoes in order to move more freely and exibly.
It is not advisable to use the vehicle in open spaces, if you have not learnt all of the funcons completely (movements forwards/backwards, to the right /le, start-up /stop).
- Make sure that the surface is suitable for the use of the vehicle.
- The vehicle can be used on various types of surfaces however, if it is used on irregular terrain or by users without much experience, we recommend you use it at low speeds.
- DOC is a means of transport that was designed to travel mainly on smooth surfaces; this does not mean that it cannot be used on other types of terrain. When using on surfaces that are not perfectly even, we recommend maintaining a moderate speed.
- For inexperienced users, we recommend avoiding crowded places, where there are obstacles or factors that could represent a danger for the user or other people.
Children, elderly people and pregnant women should not use DOC.
- Do not drive when drunk or under the inuence of pharmaceutical products or drugs.
Relax your legs when driving, bend your knees slightly. This will help you to keep the right balance on irregular terrain.
- Do not transport objects when driving.
Make sure that your feet are always on the footboards; loss of contact with a footboard causes the immediate imbalance of DOC.
- DOC was conceived and designed to be used by a single person. It is never to be used by more than one person at once.
- Do not start or stop suddenly.
- The weight of the driver must not exceed the maximum load specified in the instrucons; the vehicle could be damaged or users could fall.
- The weight must not be less than the minimum weight specied in the instrucons as DOC would not correctly noce the presence of a person on the sensors; be extremely careful of this especially when travelling downhill, where high speeds can be reached, without the correct control of the vehicle.
- Keep a speed that is appropriate for stopping DOC in a suitable manner.
If you are travelling close to another DOC, or a similar vehicle, you need to keep

EN

a safe distance between the 2 vehicles to avoid collisions.

• When you pass through doors, remember that your height will be about 10 cm higher.
• During bends, be careful of the centre of gravity of your body. A sudden variaon could cause a fall.
• Do not drive under the rain.
• Do not drive backwards for long distances or at high speeds.
• DOC is not a medical mobility device, and is not non-equivalent to motorized wheelchairs for disabled people or pedal assisted bicycles.
• Avoid driving in conned space or areas with obstacles.
