SWAGBOARD T580 TWIST HOVERBOARD 13
IV. SAFE RIDING TECHNIQUES
Although the T580 Twist is designed with gyroscopic balancing technology, it’s still possible to fall off.
Consider the following techniques and info to help ensure you have a safe, fun riding experience.
CAUTION
• Appropriate clothing and safety gear are highly recommended. During riding, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist braces, and an
ASTM F1492 approved helmet should be worn by all riders of all ages at all times.
• Do not wear anything that can drape over or get caught into/under the wheels.
• Wear flat, close-toed shoes to maintain flexibility and stability.
• When going through entryways, remember that you are 4.5 in (11 cm) taller while riding.
• Make sure your feet are always on the pedals. Taking your feet off the hoverboard while riding is incredibly dangerous.
• The hoverboard may not function if it flips upside down. To restore normal functionality, make sure it is level and right side up
then turn the hoverboard off and back on again.
• Ride on even pavement or smooth roads. Relax your legs while riding, knees slightly bent. This helps maintain balance when
you encounter uneven ground.
• For your own safety and the safety of others, ride only at speeds you are comfortable with. Be ready to stop at any time.
• When riding near others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions.
• Pay attention to your surroundings at all times. Your eyes are your best tools for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery
surfaces.
