How to reset a gyroscooter correctly

A gyroscooter, like any electronics, is prone to malfunctions and system failures. That is why you need to know how to reset your gyroscooter, because the problem can be in its firmware or in its settings. No user will like to ride, which does not bring pleasure, and forces to strain. At high speed, the controls can get out of control, then injuries cannot be avoided.

Why and when to reset the gyroscooter

When electric transportation is not was flooded and it has not been mechanically damaged, but it begins to malfunction during operation. The owner notices that it jerks when driving, is too slow or accelerates quickly, is giving incorrect information on the screen of the device with which it is conjugated.

Sometimes the mini-sigway will signal a software failure when it is turned on. You should not ignore its warnings. It may emit an unusual squeak, and the red LED on the display lights up. In this case you need to reboot or factory resetThe Smart Balance gyro scooter and other models are identical.

The cause of the system failure is driving over bumps and other surfaces, the gyroscopic sensors are knocked down, giving signals irregularly. They function independently of each other. They determine where to go by the pressure exerted on a certain part of the vehicle.

Calibration and adjustment is necessary if the gyroscooter refuses to function correctly, because it is not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous. First, try turning it off and on. If that doesn't work, follow the step-by-step guide below.

2 ways to reset your gyroscooter

Before resetting a 6.5, 8, 10 or 10.5 inch gyroscooter, you should carefully read the instruction manual that came with it. Usually devices are calibrated in a similar way, there are two.

Method #1: Using the off button

To reboot, do the following:

• Place the Segway so that it is positioned on a perfectly flat surface. The processor identifies the horizontal position as zero.
• Gently press the power button. Make sure that the vehicle does not move from the plane. The built-in controller will emit a loud signal.
• Release the button and wait for 10-15 seconds until the lights stop flashing.
• Turn it off and then turn it back on.

After setting up, you need to check the device for proper operation.

But you have to be extremely careful, in some models a careless reset can cause damage to the motherboard and sensors.

Method #2: Using the remote control

If the previous method did not help, you can use the remote control, which usually comes with the electric transport. The procedure for resetting and rebooting is identical to the calibration button on the body of the gyroscooter. The difference is the button labeled "Open lock" or "Bell". After the signal, you need to turn off and then on.

2. How do I turn it off if it won't turn off?

Such malfunctions occur due to strong shocks or improper settings. Usually all gyroscooters have a method of emergency shutdown, which is described in the instructions for each individual model. It is also worth trying to completely discharge the device by actively riding. In an extreme case, you can disassemble the case, and disconnect the power cable on the board.

3. How many times can I calibrate?

The number of resets is unlimited.

Problems with smart electronics need to be taken seriously. It is important to do a proper reset of the gyroscope as described above. Otherwise it is possible to damage the electronic components or the whole board. It will start to slow down during the ride or stop working at all.
