Note: electrical self-balancing vehicle is referred to as self-balancing vehicle for short.
3.2
safety alarm
definite noticeable alarm sent to the user in case of internal fault detected (e.g. abnormal voltage of battery or fault of balance control unit), dangerous driving or abnormal operation of the vehicle
3.3
footrest tilting function
user safety protection function of tilting the front end of footrest of self-balancing vehicle upwards to prevent it from further operation in case of overspeed, low battery or overload detected
