1. Introduction

Airwheel A3 is the state-of-the-art means of transportation adopting aerospace attitude control theory, fuzzy software algorithm, and gyroscope system to maintain balance by leaning forward and backward. Riders can control the vehicle to go forward, accelerate, decelerate, brake, etc. by leaning forward or backward. Also, turning A3 is achieved by simply turning the handlebar which will cause the differential of rotational speed on both wheels, e.g. when the handlebar is turned anti-clockwise, the rotational speed on the right wheel will be faster than that on the left wheel, thus the unit will turn left. In the meantime, the turning-sensing system will be activated (turn light will flash).

Being green and eco-friendly, Airwheel A3 can be stowed in the trunk of a car, facilitating a low-carbon travel style.

2. Installation

2.1. Unpack

After receiving the package, hold the two clasps and place the box vertically on the ground. Open the box and make sure the foam box inside is placed with the Top side upwards. Open the small cover to take out user manual and charger, then open the big cover to take out the scooter stem. When taking out the scooter stem, lift it firstly to the height of the scooter body, then move it horizontally through the clasp area. Take out the saddle and then lift up the foam box. Pull the scooter body carefully towards the ground. When the scooter body tilts to a certain angle, it will roll out.

2.2. Check Packing Contents

After opening the packing box, take out the scooter stem and the saddle. Then take out the scooter body.

2.3. Preparation

Before installation, please find in the standard accessories a set of 2 hexagon wrenches. Please retain this tool kit, it is useful for maintenance and transportation of the unit. As metric standard tools, you may find replacement at home or in a hardware store.

A pair of work gloves is recommended to protect your hands from dirt and scratches.

2.4. Installation

1. Take out the scooter stem and put down the kick stand (see 5.3) to fix the scooter body. Insert the connector below the stem into the 15-pin plug, then fix them with 5 M6*20 screws and the hexagon wrench. (see I-1)

2. Fix the front and rear supporting plates of the saddle with 2 M6*20 screws. (see I-2)

3. Fix the saddle on the scooter body with 6 M6 screws. (see I-3)

3.3. Warned Scenarios

4. Learning Tips

4.1. Before Getting Started

For first-timers, be sure to equip yourself with comfortable sportswear and sneakers. Warm up your body and keep your body agile. Considering the average human athletic skills, the height of pedal is set 247mm from ground only, which guarantees your safety in case of falling over. A Helmet, gloves, knee and ankle pads are also essential for first-timers. To start, please bring Airwheel A3 to open space and watch out for obstructions and bumpy terrains.

4.2. Learning Tips

Learning Airwheel A3 is much easier than learning how to ride a bicycle. Most starters only needs 3 minutes to get a hang of it. You'll need a learning partner standing in front of Airwheel A3 and holding the handlebar with both hands to help stabilize the handlebar for the first time.

● Turn on power switch, then press A on the remote control. Fold up the kick stand.

● Sit on the saddle and put down the paddles at each side. Hold the handlebars and look straight forward.

● Keep calm and relaxed and look forward as shown below.

4.3. Go Forward and Backward

Push the handlebar gradually forward to feel the acceleration and stopping of Airwheel A3 and then restore the status quo ante to feel the acceleration and deceleration. Steer at a slow speed and feel the motion controlled by your center of gravity.

Look back and lean gradually backward to control Airwheel A3 fall back, and then restore the status quo ante to feel the deceleration and brake. Keep practicing and pay attention to the wall and other obstacles to avoid falling over.

4.4. Stop and Brake

Attitude brake

Stop the unit by shifting your center of gravity to the opposite direction of travelling:

When the unit is in motion, gradually lean backwards to stop the unit.

Electronic brake

During riding, press down the electronic brake button to decelerate or brake. Release the button when the unit stops.

Starters can choose an open space to practice stopping unit and keeping balance.

Note: Device may tilt forward or backward when the Electronic Brake button is pressed down. The user should stay calm, keep balance and be careful.

4.5. Make Turns

Airwheel A3 will conduct turns as per the movement of the handlebar. Push the handlebar left or right to make turns on the corresponding direction.

1. First practice turning on one spot by moving the handlebar gradually towards the direction you wish to turn to. Airwheel A3 will turn on the spot sufficiently to the desired extent until you restore the handlebar. Keep practicing to get the skills.

2. Turn when in the motion. After getting a hang of going forward, backward and turning on one spot, you may try to make turns while going slowly forward. Keep your knees slightly bent and prepare to lean toward the turning direction in accordance with the control shaft. Keep practicing.

4.6. Get Off

You may ask your learning partner to help hold the handlebar when getting off Airwheel A3 for the first time.

Instructions:

1. Hold onto the handlebar and step on the ground with two feet. Then fold up the pedals and get off the unit. Turn off the power and put down the kick stand.

2. When moving off the saddle of Airwheel A3, do hold your hands on the handlebars before powering off the unit. Otherwise, Airwheel A3 will slip forward and cause potential risks.

4.7. Important Note for Starters

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning and Storage

Please clean your Airwheel A3 timely after usage to keep your Airwheel A3 in top shape.

Use a soft wet cloth dipped with alcohol to wipe the main body of the unit.

Use a wet towel to clean the tires and fenders. Then wipe and dry them in flowing air to avoid rust.

For stubborn stains or scratches, you may apply some tooth paste on it and scrub it with a tooth brush repeatedly.

Store Airwheel A3 in a dry and cool place indoor when it's not in use. Expose to sunlight or freezing outdoor environment will lead to accelerating aging of the exterior materials.

6.2. Screw Connection

All of the screws on Airwheel A3 have been specifically processed against loose. Yet for safety concerns, please check connections on the wheel hub, scooter stem, battery case, fender, platform casing and display panel ect. regularly for loosened connection or abnormal noise. In case of any loosened connection, please check the screws on the connection joint and fasten them.

6.3. Tire Pressure

Generally the tire pressure of Airwheel A3 ranges between 2.0~2.2KG/cm2. High tire pressure contributes to smaller friction force and longer battery range, yet delivers less damping effect.

6.4. Transportation and Storage

Please handle Airwheel A3 as per the following steps:

1. Please make sure Airwheel A3 is powered off.

2. Please remove the scooter stem before storing Airwheel A3 in the car trunk.

3. Please ask for necessary help when having difficulty with lifting the unit into the car trunk.

6.5. Remove Battery Pack

Fold up the kick stand and lay flat the unit. Unfasten the four M6*20 hexagon screws with an M5 hexagon wrench. Remove the battery case and take out the battery pack.

Mail us only the battery case if the battery case needs to repair.

7. Limited Warranty

Please retain the warranty and proof of purchase (i.e.receipt). Limited Warranty Terms (Non-Artificial Damage Only):

After-sales service:

1. 1 year for the main body (one month for wearing parts, i.e. casings and tires).

2. 6 months for the battery.

The following situations will not be covered by the warranty:

1. Malfunction due to misuse.

2. Malfunction caused by unauthorized modifications, disassembling or repair.

3. Accidental damage or malfunction due to improper storage.

4. Discrepant warranty/proof of purchase and product.

9.1. Drafts

The illustration is only for reference, the item is subject to the material object.

9.2. Charging Notes

Charge Note: Plug Airwheel to the charger before connecting the charger to power supply.

9.3. Relation between Range and Load

Similar to the relations between fuel consumption and cargo load, range per charge is related to rider's body weight. In light of the conclusion we draw from practical tests (rider's weight: 60kg; riding speed: 7km/h and constant; road condition: smooth and flat), range per charge falls by 1.5~2.0km for each additional gain of 10kg.
