Hoverboards Smart Balance: features and operation

Gyroboard Smart Balance is a new device that was originally intended for recreation and entertainment of people. In some sense, this is a very original kind of toy, riding on which can diversify people's leisure time, and quite a modern means of fast transportation.

In reality, Smart Balance is not a company or a firm that would manufacture this product. The fact is that these days gyroboards of various brands are produced practically at the same Chinese factories, the main difference between them is only in their characteristics, which are based on the instructions of a particular customer.

In 2014, when the very first models of these devices appeared on sale, no one knew why they were needed. And therefore, the main task of the management of the future brand was to convey the idea of ​​using this product in everyday life.

At first, the name began to use the name "Smart", which translated as "smart", since the hoverboard uses a special control board that can understand human body movements and which will help him to control the device itself. A little later, the word “balance” was also used in the name, as if clarifying what exactly is clever about this device. "Smart balance" - this was the name of the new invention.

When he first encountered this product, Tian immediately liked its concept, although then no one knew anything about them, and no one could predict whether the investment in Smart Balance would be highly profitable. But Tian realized that the hoverboard will not become just a new modern toy - he sincerely believed that gyroboards will greatly help all mankind as a whole.

He believed that this device should be made as accessible as possible for any person and dreamed that all people would one day ride freely, and not walk. And in 2015, Tian decided to invest in the mass release of Smart Balance, so it can be quite confidently asserted that today Smart Balance is the brainchild of Miberi.

Many models of modern gyro scooters are distinguished by their unique design, convenient dimensions and not the greatest weight - about 10 kg, although there are also heavier options - they are called "off-road vehicles". The manufacturer also took into account possibility of compact folding of the productto make it as convenient as possible for both home storage and transportation.

The body of this device has a display, which allows you to control in detail many moments, for example, at what level the battery charge is, how the trajectory of movement is going, with its help you can control the front light and brake lights.

Ease of learning is the first plus of the product. There are other benefits as well.

• Inflatable wheels... They are made from the finest quality rubber.
• The manufacturer in many models provides quite high suspension - this will allow the rider to boldly slide into road holes and even climb over low curbs without any problems.
• Smooth running adaptations.
• Many models of a gyro scooter can safely move not only on a flat road surface, but even on gravel, tiles, low grass and well-rolled snow cover.
• Acoustic system will allow you to listen to your favorite music from your smartphone while driving.
• Good maneuverability.

Unfortunately, there were some drawbacks here.

Models with larger wheels will cost a lot more. But such devices will be less maneuverable and rather heavy, which is not very popular with consumers, since the device is difficult to transport and not very convenient to store. Sometimes, too loud sounds that are emitted at the start of the product are also not praised by users.

Some hoverboards are not entirely suitable for use by children, as the sensors will fully calculate the weight and height of an adult rider.

Inflatable wheels are both good, because thanks to them you will not feel uneven asphalt, and bad, because such wheels will often need to be pumped up, and there is always a risk of accidentally damaging them.

But the disadvantages of Smart Balance are completely forgotten when you start riding it, experiencing an amazing experience.

The first official model was the Wheel - at that time no one was sure about the success of the production and sale of gyro scooters.

After the successful sales of the first batches of devices, a number of basic types of Smart Balance were released, which differed from each other in their wheel sizes, as well as in engine power. According to wheel sizes, modern gyroboards are divided into:

• products with 6-inch wheels, even children will be able to ride them on high-quality asphalt;
• with 8-inch wheels, which will perfectly cope with most of the irregularities of domestic roads;
• with wheels 10 inches - almost SUVs.

This device is perfect for use on completely flat roads and indoors.This model is very mobile, it is surprisingly light, as well as low suspension, which will not allow this device to overcome high obstacles.

There are 8-inch wheels and powerful engines. With the help of the product, it is possible to overcome not very large obstacles, since the body of this model of a gyroscooter is still placed too low to the surface of the earth.

A powerful device, larger than all previous models. Due to the large wheels, the user will not need to get off the hoverboard and carry it in his hands if potholes and other irregularities are encountered on the way. The main characteristic of this model lies in the chamber wheels - they significantly reduce the weight of the product and make the shock from trips on bumps more soft.

One of the most demanded models. A very large device with 10.5-inch cast wheels. Excellent cross-country ability compared to other Smart Balance products - this device can safely drive almost anywhere. The rider's weight can range from 20 to almost 130 kg.

An exclusive product for movement on any surface. A real modern SUV. A characteristic feature is excellent adhesion to any road surface.

It is one of the most recent developments. It has 10.5-inch inflatable wheels made of the best rubber, and this, in turn, will allow you to easily pass any irregularities on modern roads. Powerful motors make it possible to accelerate this device up to 20 km per hour. With built-in speakers and bluetooth, your favorite music will accompany you as you ride. And the catchy design will not leave anyone indifferent.

In addition, all controls in this product are located on a special handle. Control sensors are located closer to the wheels. The process of movement and control is carried out by tilting the handle in the desired direction.

Any real Smart Balance product has its own batch number - this is a special code that is indicated on a special sticker with a guarantee. You can check whether the original is in front of you or not on the official dealer's website.

Fake gadgets can often turn off on their own for no apparent reason., react very slowly to commands given by the rider, cause difficulties in control and even sometimes throw inexperienced users off the platform. On these devices are difficult to maintain balance, so the rider gets tired too quickly... Rubber on wheels, even with high-quality fakes, will wear out quickly, it will instantly crack in frosty weather.

The battery will be weak to keep even 100% charge, and the available characteristics will be significantly inferior to those stated. There are many methods that will allow you to assess the originality of a device without a serial number.

• During a thorough examination, you need to pay attention to the quality of the painting, to the visual density of the tires - there should be no visible defects on the product.
• When assembling the original Smart Balance hoverboard, self-tapping steel screws with a semicircular head are used. They are of high quality and do not break if you start to disassemble the product.
• The mass of a real hoverboard should be exactly what the manufacturer said.
• Counterfeit products give off an unpleasant odor, and original gadgets smell like brand new rubber.

In order for a new device to delight you with its trouble-free operation as long as possible, you just need to buy an original device and strictly follow all the rules of its daily use.

Sometimes the device in question suddenly begins to behave in a rather strange way: it twitches while driving, starts to accelerate very slowly or too quickly, and gives inaccurate information. The problem sometimes lies in the failure of existing programs.

You can start rebooting on a hoverboard only after you carefully read its instructions. Then you should proceed like this:

• the gyro scooter is placed on the table - this is necessary for the device processor to remember this position as "0";
• then the button responsible for turning on the device is gently clamped, the product controller will squeak loudly;
• the button is released, you should wait until all the lights stop blinking;
• turn off the device by lightly pressing the button;
• after all these actions, the gyro scooter turns on, and you can check whether the reboot was successful and whether everything in the product is working properly.

You can also remotely reboot the gyro scooter yourself. Only instead of the power button, you should hold down the icon in the form of a bell and in the form of an open lock on the existing remote control. As soon as the beep sounds, the device turns off and then turns on again and its operation is checked.

The service life of its battery and the distance of travel will directly depend on the correct charging of this product.

Usually gyroboards have a certain range - about 18–20 km on a single charge. But the battery starts to discharge pretty quickly if you ride this device in frosty weather, if you climb a hill for a long time or only move along a road with obstacles. To constantly monitor the charge level, there are a number of indicators on the product. At 20%, these indicators immediately light up red, and if the critical discharge level is reached (up to 10%), the red signal already flashes sharply and is complemented by a sound signal.

If, with such a low charge, you continue to move on the product, the protection system will automatically be able to turn it off and put the unit on the wheels. To unlock, you will have to fully charge the battery.

For high-quality recharging of the device, you should:

• use only the "native" charging device;
• first connect the power supply to the outlet, and after the green indicator appears, you can connect the charger itself, while a red light should appear on the sensor;
• at the end of the process, you need to get the plug from the charging and disconnect the power supply itself;
• during storage of hoverboards, they also need to be recharged periodically (about once every 2-3 months), in order to prevent quick battery replacement, it is better not to bring the hoverboard to a deep discharge - below 30%.

Calibration is a fairly easy manipulation of balancing the device, implying proper adjustment of all sensors. The quality of their full-fledged work will directly affect the ease of control of this tool, as well as the safety of the ride and its comfort.

The control panel, if it is included in the product kit, will help to carry out balancing. You should press here the button with the settings, which is located in the middle, and then simultaneously with it, hold down the lower button. As a result, the device will reset the password that you set to the initial factory settings.

You can also manually adjust the gyro scooter.

• First, make sure that the battery is 100% charged - in this case, the indicator glows with a green light.
• The device turns off.
• It is placed on a regular table.
• All available sensors must be placed in parallel. The most common cause of incorrect calibration can be the roughness of the surface where the gyro board stands.
• The power button is clamped for 5 seconds.
• After a signal by sound or light of the motion sensor - this button is released.
• After 10 seconds, the hoverboard must be turned off.
• Immediately it turns on again, and you can try to ride it.

The owners of these funds believe that their purchase is a profitable purchase, noting the high quality of workmanship and functionality. Many people like the huge selection of all kinds of colors, as well as the fact that these devices can be used for work and for entertainment.

However, the minuses of the segway are also named, for example, the fact that the battery recharging lasts only a couple of hours, instead of the three stated in the instructions. Also, many are annoyed by the loud sound from the speakers and the noise of the charger.

Also, users do not like that the device cannot be driven through puddles and in heavy rain, as water through the holes for the wheels can get on the boards, and this can lead to the death of the scooter.
