Explain Airwheel S8 electric self-balancing scooter mobile App

[Lisny Abby]

A mobile app is a computer program designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. With the popularity of the smartphones, a greater variety of Apps have been invented to meet the growing demands of the users.

As the leader in the global portable intelligent transport industry, Airwheel has been dedicated to finding logical means to extend fun through mobility throughout the world. The Airwheel A3 not only inaugurated the sitting posture self-balancing scooter era, but also firstly introduced the mobile App. The built-in intelligent chip collects all the data of the vehicle which are transmitted wirelessly to the smart phone where calculations and analysis are made by Airwheel APP and the visual data feedback is shown to the user in real-time.

 

Mobile apps are first tested within the development environment using emulators and later subjected to field testing. Mobile user interface (UI) Design is also essential considering constraints and contexts, screen, input and mobility as outlines for design which is primarily for an understandable, user-friendly interface. The latest product Airwheel S8 makes a stride in the mobile App. In addition to the previous functions, the App of Airwheel S8 is able to build a community for riders to share the joy of riding with the whole world Airwheel scooter lovers. And the user-friendly interface cannot ignored too. One key to connect, clear at a glance. Specific details are as follows.
 
How do the riders download the Airwheel App?
There are two ways to download the Airwheel App, either via the http://www.airwheel.net/home/app or find Airwheel in the App store (limited to Apple). It supports the smart phones with Android 4.3 or higher, IOS 7.0 or higher

How to search and connect Airwheel and learn the other info?
After stalling the Airwheel App, you need to confirm the Bluetooth is active. Then open the App to find the search page. Open the switch of S8, press the A key in the remote control, click the wireless icon, and operate as the steps to connect (Verify Password: 11111111). Then you can interact with your scooter via the App.

 

What are the main functions of Airwheel App?
On the main screen, current speed, mileage and scooter status are displayed and we can lock device and turn on/off lights easily by tapping the screen. Drawing out the sidebar, we can check information about battery, speed, mileage, voltage, attitude, help & support. The App is endowed with GPS function for you to check locations and track traveling path. Of course, we can change wallpapers of the APP and set speed limit and headlights according to personal requirement.

It is worth noting all Airwheel products have passed the level calibration through the dedicated device. If necessary to calibrate, please ensure you are under professional’s guidance, in case of maloperation.   
 

 

Back to the App of Airwheel S8, why is it called an upgraded App?
When the phone connecting the network, click the Cycling track, the current location and traveling path can be learnt. Click the Discovery, we will find the photos and wonderful videos from the Airwheel fans in the globe. And click Community, riders are able to enter its official community where they can have technical exchange and daily life sharing etc.

 

 

Of course, the above introduction is far more enough. The App is not an auxiliary, but an assistant to achieve a better riding experience. It is believed that the IM social system enabling riders to interact and share with each other will not let you down.

@Lisny Abby that looks like a good app.  And for some reason I like the name Lisny.

Maybe Airwheel should spend some resources to upgrade their firmware instead.  The Airwheel S6 firmware need update for sure.  The speed limit need to be set for each ride.  It should be saved in flash memory permanently.  The mileage is not correct as it reset to zero after I turn off the power.

I have an Airwheel S8+, and the app installed and usable.

But I don't know how to interpret the 'Voltage' display.

What do the number mean? What is a full charge? Why does the voltage number keep changing (3.3 to 2.7 and it keeps moving) when the Airwheel is standing still?

How do I know how much reserve battery power I have at any time?

Is there information on best battery management - how low do I let it get, what does 100% (four red LED dots on the back) mean?

Why doesn't it always charge to four dots? The charger went from red to green, but the display only showed three dots (on the base of the Airwheel).

Is there a place I can read more about the manufacturer's recommendations? The manual that came with it is very minimal.

Thanks!
