Getting Started

1. Powering On / Off your electric unicycle 

Long press power button

2. Refill the air-spring of the suspension system

The shock absorption of the device is supported by two built-in air-springs. These springs need to be refilled with air before use. Using the manufacturer-provided inflator, refill through the air chamber located at the bottom of the pedal. Check the weight-barometer below for the appropriate air pressure. 

    50kg - under (110lbs - under) : 40 - 60psi
    60 - 70kg (132 - 154lbs) : 60 - 80psi
    70 - 80kg (154 - 176lbs): 80 - 120psi
    80 - 90kg (176 - 198lbs): 120 - 130psi
    90 - 100kg (198 - 220lbs): 130 - 150psi
    100 - 120kg (220- 265lbs): 150 - 170psi

3. InMotion App

This unicycle supports Bluetooth 5.0 LE. The BLE ID is V11-XXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXX is the last 8 digits of the serial number of the device which can be located either on the packaging or on the body of the unicycle. The serial number of your device is crucial for quality tracking, repair, insurance compensation, and loss confirmation and should be kept for safekeeping. Details about specific functions available on the app can be found in the InMotion app at InMotion's official website www.myinmotion.com. 

4. Practicing
Find an appropriate and solitary training area. It's best to train in a large open area with no obstacles: please don’t ride on the street or anywhere there are a lot of cars and people. The riding surface should be flat and firm with no loose gravel or large bumps. Warm-up your body and wear safety gear to protect yourself. Check the battery level, and inspect the unicycle to avoid potentially unsafe factors like looseness, abnormal sound, push the unicycle by hand to see whether any friction exists between the tire and body shell. Find a friend to assist you if needed. 
  • Start the unicycle: Grasp the handle with one hand, place the unicycle vertically on the ground, and fold down both foot pedals. Press the power button to turn on the unicycle. We suggest that you push the unicycle forward and backward to get an idea of the intensity of acceleration and deceleration. If the unicycle tilts either forward or backward after power is switched on, then wait until it reverts to an upright position before riding.
  • Try to stand on the unicycle: Using your preferred dominant leg, stand on the pedal with your foot centered front-to-back and ankle all the way against the body of the EUC. Keep the wheel directly underneath your center of gravity and keep your back completely vertical - resist the urge to lean forward. Always maintain firm contact between the side of your leg and the body of the EUC as this is critical to stay in control while standing in place. Begin to place more of your body weight on the pedal foot and notice that the pressure increases against your leg. This is necessary to counterbalance for the period of time you are balancing on one leg. Start to move forward in small steps or hops with one leg on the EUC and get used to this counterbalancing effect. Gradually, you can begin to attempt bringing the other foot onto the pedal for 1-2 seconds. Next, place your dominant foot on the pedal and use the other foot to pedal. If you are struggling during this process you may need to look for additional supports such as a rail or fence.
  • Go forward: Like riding a bicycle, you'll need to transfer your center of gravity to the center of the unicycle as you learn to take off with both feet on the wheel. You need a little bit of speed to make balancing easier, so it can help to "kick-off" like a skater to initiate forward momentum. Since a forward-leaning posture is required to accelerate and maintain a forward motion, you'll need to immediately rest your center of gravity in front of the EUC by leaning forward as soon as you step up to take off. This can be a mental challenge more than a physical challenge, so you'll just take it easy and practice keeping your posture upright while pushing your whole body weight forward. Avoid bending forward at the hips in a protective stance as this will transfer the center of gravity backward preventing you from moving forward. Remember to keep your back completely straight and vertical at all times.
  • Turning: Turning can be achieved in several different ways. For beginners, it's advised to start by physically facing towards the direction you want to travel. You'll find that turning your torso will also encourage the wheel to follow. You can also achieve a large radius turn by simply banking and leaning your whole body once you initiate a turn. Be careful not to lean too aggressively at first. Another technique for more intermediate/advanced riders that allows you to turn in much smaller circles is to tilt the pedals left / right with your feet so the EUC is leaning towards its side as you turn.

Care and Maintenance 

1. Storage
Keeping your unicycle dry and indoor will decrease the chances of potential problems. If left unused for a long time, recharge the battery at least once a month to avoid completely draining the battery and maintain the longevity of the battery. The battery of EUC will be used up after about 120 to 180 days in standby status even it was fully charged. Not charging the battery for a prolonged period of time after this point may lead to permanent damage to the battery due to over-discharge. The damage caused by long-term non-charging is not covered by the warranty.
2. Battery Maintenance
The battery should not be exposed to temperatures higher than  50°C or lower than -2°C ( for example, do not put EUC or its battery in a car exposed under strong sunshine in summer). DO not place the battery near a fire that may lead to battery failure, overheating, and even a risk of the battery catching on fire. For other maintenance precautions, please refer to the label on the battery. It is recommended that users should avoid exhausting the battery completely before recharging. We recommend recharging before using to help extend the battery life. At freezing or below, you may see a drop in battery life and performance. 
3. Tire Maintenance
If the air pressure of EUC tires is insufficient, please inflate before using the device. The default value for unicycles is 2.8Bar.
4. Cleaning 
Before cleaning, please make sure that the unicycle is powered off and unplug. The charging port should be close and need to always be dry. Wipe the outer case of EUC with a soft cloth and soap or clean water. Do not use a high-pressure water gun to clean the device. The IP rating of EUC is IP55, which means that the EUC should not be submerged in water. Do not use alcohol, gasoline, solvent, or any other chemical agent.
