How hard is it to learn to ride a SWEGWAY?
The SWEGWAY is easy to learn. In about 5 minutes you will get the hang of it and in 30 minutes you will begin to master it. The SWEGWAY with smart App makes it even easier: activate the built-in learning mode to reduce the speed while you learn the basics. Once you have the steering down, simply turn it off and go full throttle.
How long does charging take?
Your Hoverboard will be fully charged in 2-3 hours. Please do not charge your Hoverboard for more than 3 hours. The charger will show red light whilst the battery is charging and will illuminate green once a full charge has been given. If you plan to store a lithium battery for a period of more than 30 days please ensure a full charge is given prior to storage. Another charge may be required after 30 days.
My Swegway Will Not Turn On After I Charged It?
It is very important that care is taken to align the groove on the charging port and the groove on the charger before insertion. There are 3-pins on the charger and 3-pins in the port. Matching up the outdent on the port with the indent in the charger will ensure safe insertion of the charger and avoid breakages. Please do not force the charger into the port without aligning the grooves. Scratch marks around the charger lead is indication of the charger not being aligned properly with the port.
Hoverboard Shudders or Vibrates?
The first thing to try in this case is recalibration. Due to the nature of the product, Hoverboards do need recalibrating especially if crashed or ridden on rough terrain. It simply means the gyroscopes are not level, which can cause an uneaven movement on each side causing vibrations.
Recalibration can be done at home:
1. Lay the board level on your lap with your legs bent 90 degrees and the foot pads pointed upwards towards the ceiling or on a flat surface. Make sure the board is off.
2. Ensure the board is completely level using either a spirit level or by eye. You can line up the casing grooves on each section of the Hoverboard, which is usually very accurate. Ensure the Hoverboard is parallel with the floor as if it is tipped forwards or backwards, it will reset to this position as though this is level.
3. Hold the on button. The lights at the front and on the top of the board will flash 5 times in quick succession. Continue to hold until there is a 6th flash which will be a couple of seconds after the 5th flash. After this 6th flash turn the board off and then back on. the whole process should last 45seconds.
This should have recalibrated the board into the position it was held.
If calibration does not work, this can be a common problem if the Hoverboard has water, mud or dirt particles under the foot pads which are blocking the sensors. This can mean the Sensors are being activated by internal foreign bodies even when you've dismounted. If the Hoverboard has been ridden on muddy or dirty terrain this is the most probable cause. It will need to be returned to us for a service. The cost of a service is £35 including postage both ways.

How to use your Bluetooth Speaker?
how to use overboard bluetooth speaker
It is super easy to connect your device to your hoverboard, in order to play your tunes!
Here is our handy guide:
Firstly, ensure your device (whether it be a phone or music device) has Bluetooth turned on and the device is “discoverable”
Then turn your Swegway Hoverboard ON. Do this by pressing and holding the silver button on the back of the board. The Bluetooth module simply turns on automatically once your board is powered up.
Finally, from the settings on your phone or device connect to “Bluetooth”- this is the name of your hoverboard. Your phone or device will now be connected to the board and you are ready to go! Simply press play and enjoy your tunes whilst you ride.
Board Does not Appear Level
If a board has rolled or crashed in any way it can knock it off-centre. The most common troubles we see are footpads that point towards the floor and are no longer level. See above the instructions for recalibration which will return the board to a level-position.
Can I have Saturday/Sunday Delivery?
We offer Saturday or Sunday delivery.
