Riding mode refers to the ration mode during start-off and breaking. Under play mode, the pedal will keep still when starting off or breaking. While, under learning mode, the pedal will slant a longing with the gravity center, that is, leaning forward for starting off, leaning backward for braking. The main difference of the two modes lies on : learning mode is suitable for long distance travel, which provide a more comfortable riding experience, relieve the leg’s fatigue. Play mode is more flexible, can satisfy the group who wants to perform skills like aerial jumping, also it can avoid pedal scraping when climbing or down steep hills. You can select the corresponding riding mode in the “ Cycling mode setting” menu. Theorectially, learning mode is more power saving than aggressive mode.

4.4 Calibration alignment

Firstly, Swicth on the EUC and keep it stand still, connect your mobile phone with the EUC, back to the " Basic Function" Menu, Select " Level Calibration", you will hearcontinual beeping. Then place the unicycle vertically on the ground, restart it, the calibration is done if you hear long beeping after 5 times continual beeping. If another 5 times continual beeping followings, it indicates calibration failed.42

5 Precautions and preparation

Use the auxiliary belt to ensure safety driving especially at the learning level. As beginners, can use the auxiliary belt to prevent the unicycle from scraping (Tie the belt to the handle of the EUC, step one foot on the pedal, adjust the belt to a proper length. Once losing the balance & have to jump off from the unicycle, you can drag the EUC with the belt to protect it from sudden fall & broken.

5.2 How to control the balance

The self-balancing EUC achieves balancing by versus of the gyroscope. Rider leaning forward, the unicycle will accelerate; oppositely leaning forward, the unicycle will decelerate to keep the balance between the driver and the device itself. Like riding bicycle, you must keep left or right balancing by your body and the riding speed Do not ride on slippery or bumpy surfaces, friction between the tire and the ground is essential to keep the balance

Find a proper ground please don’t ride in the highway or anywhere there are a lot of cars and peoples, should not ride on the bumpy, gravel roads. Warm up your body and be equipped with helmets, elbow, knee supporters if needed. Check the battery level, shack the unicycle to avoid potential unsafe factors like looseness, abnormal sound, push the unicycle by hand to check whether it exists frictions between the tire and body shell.43

Find a friend to assist you if needed. Tie the auxiliary belt to the handle, adjust it to a proper length. Please don’t speed up and reduce suddenly in order to keep good maintenance. Don’t lean too much and too fast to avoid sudden speed up & down, even rider’s injury., Speeding is STRICTLY prohibited. In case of falling, give the priority to rider’s body safety. Refer to the following driving steps to start learning.

Grasp the handle with one hand, place the unicycle vertically on the ground, and unfold the two treadles. If the unicycle tilts either forward or backwards after power is switched on, then wait until it reverts to upright position before riding. Press the power key to turn on the unicycle, the battery level will illuminate and buzzer will beep, then the vehicle is ready to use. We suggest that you push the unicycle forward and backward to get an idea of the intensity of acceleration and deceleration.

5. Try to stand on the unicycle

Stand on the center of the treadle with your preferred foot, so that you can learn your gravity center to the foot. Stand up, use the foot on the treadle to control the forward and backward balancing, and lean your shank on the rubber plate tightly… Gradually lean your gravity center to the foot on the treadle, a triangle support is required with your shank, foot and the balancing unicycle otherwise the it’s very difficult to transfer the gravity center to the unicycle. If you failed to transfer the gravity center, further riding is not suggested.44

For novice,like riding bicycle, transfer your gravity center to the unicycle, tread the pedal forward slightly, meanwhile, kick the other foot backward slightly, the unicycle will go forward, try to keep balance during riding, and gradually put the other foot on the treadle. For intermediate learner, pay more attention to the following two points: keep at a certain speed, control the speed through leaning forward and backward. Try to extend the riding distance by repeated exercises.

Beginner tends to rotate the upper torso to turn, to improve the efficiency, we suggest you to make it by adjusting the tilt of treadles. 6 Battery and Recharging

6.1 Temperature effect on battery

Battery power will vary with the temperature, mileage per charge will have slight difference under different temperature, following table is just for your reference. Temperature (°C)

The device has a built-in lithium battery, No extra battery installation is required, just charge the device when it indicates ”low battery”.

As all of vehicles, the speed is faster, the braking distance will be longer. Emergency braking on the smooth surface may result in loosing balance even tumbling because of wheel slip. So keeping alert, proper speed, keeping rational safety distance with other people and vehicles during driving, which is very important. Please keep alert and low speed before driving into unfamiliar terrain. Please respect the right of way when driving. Avoiding scaring pedestrians, especially kids. Remind them and decelerate when passing behind the pedestrians. Possibly passing from the left of Pedestrians (applicable to the countries of vehicles keeping to the right). when facing with pedestrians, keeping to ride at right and decelerating.

8.1 Storage and Cleaning

If stain comes up on the surface of the unicycle, wiping with a soft wet cloth. If there is stubborn stains, you can wipe firstly with a soft cloth smeared toothpaste. Then clean with a wet cloth. Reminder: Don't clean it with alcohol, gas, kerosene and other corrosive and volatile chemical solvent, or else it will badly damage appearance and internal structure of vehicles, spray washing by pressure water guns is forbidden. Please keep it power off, unplug the charging cable and clog charging rubber cover,otherwise, you may get an electric shock or it may result serious problems because of flooding water. Store it in dry and shady place when you don't use it, try not to place it at outside for a long time. Outdoor environmental of sunlight exposure, overheating, undercooling will accelerate the ageing of appearance and wheels and reduce and life time of batteries. Use the inflation tube to inflate the tire. Without the tube, you will not be able to pump air into the wheel. Air pressure in tires: 2.5Pa.

Parts that fold on the machine must be lubricated every 3 months.48

8.3 Maintenance of Batteries

Please don't leave batteries in the environment of over 50℃ or under -20℃ (for example. please don't leave batter pack in the car of sun exposure), prohibiting put batteries into fire, otherwise it may cause risk of batteries invalidation, overheating even fire. Please reference batteries nameplate under the vehicles to know the other maintenance considerations of batteries. Avoid charging after power consistently drained, try to charge early and often. It can extend batteries life highly, In addition, using at normal temperatures, batteries can exert higher endurance distance and performance. If using under 0℃, batteries' life and performance will reduce. Such as under 20℃, endurance distance may just half or lower than half compared with normal temperature, After increasing temperature, batteries' endurance distance will resume. Fully charged will run out of stored power after 90-120 days in standby mode. The stored power will be ran out of after 20-50 days in standby mode if it is not fully charged. If you don't charge the unicycle in time, It may cause damage to batteries for excessive discharge, and this damage is unrecoverable. The damage caused by without charging for a long time will not charge any more, and it can't be repaired for free(Notes : non-professional forbid disassembly battery, it may cause serious safety accidents owing to electric shock or short circuit.
