6.7. RIDING GUIDELINES
6.7.1. RIDING FORM
Your posture and stance affect your ability to ride safely:
Be alert. Scan both far ahead and in front of the Wheels
—your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding
obstacles and slippery surfaces.
Keep a firm grip on the Handlebar, knees and elbows bent. This helps you maintain your balance over rough
terrain.
Leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar. Do not lean over or into the Handlebar. Leaning over or into the
Handlebar dramatically increases the risk of loss of control, collisions, and falls.
Remain seated keeping the back against Backrest.
Practice controlled stopping.
Keep your body aligned with the LeanSteer Frame and lean into turns.
Point the LeanSteer Frame in the direction you want to travel.
6.7.2. HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The machine is highly maneuverable and allows you to easily navigate around obstacles.
However, to prevent the loss of traction, you must always be careful when riding and
learn to identify and avoid slippery, icy, or wet surfaces, loose materials (sand/gravel),
steep slopes, and obstacles.
Stop and go around the obstacle taking a different way.
SLIPS
The machine’s Tires must be able to grip the ground for the machine to stay upright!
Slips occur when the machine loses traction, potentially causing loss of control and a fall. Abrupt maneuvers, and riding
over slippery surfaces, loose objects and materials, or steep slopes can cause the machine to lose traction.
Avoid abrupt maneuvers, such as fast stopping or starting.
Avoid riding on slippery surfaces such as snow, ice, wet floors,
Wet grass, or any other surface that might cause slipping.
Avoid riding over loose objects or materials such as small branches, litter, or small stones.
Use caution when riding over any terrain change such as pavement to grass, or over a threshold or speed bump.
Avoid riding on steep slopes.
Maintain Tire contact with the ground.
