6.7.4. PRACTICE RIDING
You will need to become very familiar with your machine before you attempt to ride outside of your controlled practice
environment. The more you practice, the safer you will be when you move into new places. Remember the following as
you practice:
Use the Beginner Setting and ride in areas free of obstacles and distractions until you are comfortable on your
machine. Practice at the Beginner level until you can step on, ride forward and backward, turn, stop, and step off
with precision and confidence.
With practice, you should be able to ride in narrow areas. You should also be able to ride, turn, and stop on a
narrow, curving, paved walkway.
Until you can ride with this precision, do not attempt to ride in any area where you might encounter children,
pedestrians, pets, vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards.
Your first rides without the Beginner Setting should be in the same secure areas where you learned to ride with the
Beginner Setting.
Use caution when riding in new environments.
Be careful when riding through a doorway.
Make sure you leave enough Wheel clearance.
Watch out for terrain transitions such as pavement and grass.
Keep you feet always placed ON the footrest, not in front of it.
DIFFERENT TERRAIN, DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES
With practice, you can learn to ride over many different types of terrain, provided you avoid slippery surfaces, loose
materials, steep slopes, and obstacles. Always proceed slowly over unfamiliar terrain.
Never allow the machine to become airborne, even for short periods of time, because the machine has no traction when
airborne, and you could lose control upon landing.
TERRAIN COMPENSATION
Genny is designed to compensate for uneven terrain. When riding straight on uneven terrain, keep the LeanSteer Frame
vertical.
Point the LeanSteer Frame in the direction you want to move and allow the Powerbase to follow the contour of the ground.
STAIRS ANS CURBS
Take a differentway. Stairs and curbs cannot be taken.
Never attempt to ride the machine up or down stairs or curbs.
Never activate the manual deployment mechanism for lowering the stabilizing legs while the machine is still moving.
RIDING ETIQUETTE
Use proper etiquette when riding your machine.
Be careful and considerate of others.
Always ride under control at a speed that is safe for you and those around you.
Always be prepared to stop.
Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way.
Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed
when passing. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right
and slow down.
In heavy pedestrian traffic, slow down and proceed at the pace of pedestrian traffic. Pass only if there is ample
space to do so safely. Do not weave in and out of pedestrian traffic.
When riding with other Genny riders, maintain a safe distance, identify hazards and obstacles, and do not ride side-
by- side unless there is plenty of room left for pedestrians.
Cross roads at designated crosswalks or signaled intersections. Do not jaywalk/ride.
Only travel on a road when a pedestrian way is not available or when sidewalk use is not allowed.
Do not ride your machine on private property (inside or outside) unless you have obtained permission to do so.
Learn about and obey applicable laws and regulations.
