6.2. Propulsion
Push the levers forward to propel the GRIT Junior. Pull the levers backward to brake.
Note: Push the levers forward together or alternate lever strokes. Many riders prefer to
push the levers at the same time on smooth ground and to alternate the levers on hills and
rough terrain.
WARNING:
TIPPING IS POSSIBLE. This is especially true when going uphill. One
way to prevent this is to ALTERNATE lever strokes (left, right, left, etc.) during ascents,
rather than engaging both levers simultaneously. On severe inclines, lean forward, if possible,
to adjust your center of gravity. Always wear a helmet. Always ride with an adult who can help
if exploring new or unfamiliar terrain. Anti-Tip Bars are available upon request.
CAUTION:
Use short, smooth strokes on the levers. Keep your back against the seatback, if
possible. Abrupt push strokes can cause the front wheel to tip upward, which may cause you to tip
over backward.
Push forward on the levers to move forward.
