Abstract: Most people have heard the X Games, however they may not familiar with the scooter in the X games.

The X Games is an annual sports event, controlled and arranged by American sports broadcaster ESPN (with coverage also shown on its sister network ABC), which focuses on extreme sports. The inaugural X Games were held in the summer of 1995 in Newport, Rhode Island. Participants compete to win bronze, silver, and gold medals, as well as prize money.
The competition often features new tricks such as Tony Hawk's 900 in skateboarding, Travis Pastrana's double backflip in freestyle motocross, Concurrent with competition is the "X Fest" sports and music festival, which offers live music, athlete autograph sessions, and interactive elements. Since 2010 Winter X Games Europe have been held in Tignes, France. From May 16 to May 18, 2003, the X Games held a special event called the Global Championships, where five continents (two countries in North America) competed in 11 disciplines.


The X Games gained media exposure due to their big name sponsors, top-tier athletes, and consistent fan attendance. With the development of the X Games, there came lots of innovation. In recently years, electric scooter has become the new form of extreme sports. The battery is the power core of a scooter. Airwheel electric self-balancing scooter adopted the most advanced SONY battery that imported with original package. What is more, the battery is also specialized type for Tesla mobile. Such high quality battery should be protected carefully.
Therefore, the designer adopted more than six types of the protection for the scooter. The discharge protection can help the scooter avoid being over discharged while the overcharge protection can make sure the battery would not be over charged. Both these two kinds of protection can make sure SONY batter get a longer service life. While in the riding, if there happens system default or mechanical problems, the internal short-cut protection can make sure short-cut would not affect the meltdown of mainboard and battery.


Not only battery can get such meticulously protection, the rider can be protected too. In order to protect the rider, if the electric scooter speed is faster than 12km/h, the standing board would lifted slowly to warm the rider of the potential danger.
