Riding Guidelines
After unpacking your Iotatrax for the first time, follow all the guidelines found in the next few pages before you start riding.
Riding Form
•
Learn to ride the Iotatrax in a large, safe area free from all forms of traffic.
•
Keep your posture upright, but relaxed with your body aligned over the Iotatrax and your feet centered on the platforms.
•
Be alert. Scan both far ahead and in front of you—your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery surfaces.
•
Hold your arms comfortably at your side.
•
Start at a slow and comfortable pace.
Never aggressively accelerate or lunge forward.
Preparation
1.
Always wear an appropriate safety helmet and other protective gear.
2.
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Never ride the Iotatrax barefoot or in open-‐toed shoes or high-‐heels.
3.
Make sure the tires are properly inflated: 100 psi when you are learning. 75 psi when you know how to ride and want to make
smaller radius turns.
4.
Make sure the battery is charged.
7 Steps to Riding Your Iotatrax
Once you have charged the battery, follow these eight easy steps:
1.
Grab the handle of the Iotatrax and set it on the ground vertically and turn the power on. The green light on the front of the
unit will light up. The Iotatrax can face either direction but we recommend riding with the green light leading the way.
2. Unfold the foot platforms by gently pushing the spring-‐loaded push buttons located at the sides of the unit and then moving
the platforms into the down position.
3.
Put one foot on one platform and stand up straight. Put your weight on your foot and allow the unit to lean to the side until
the foot platform touches the ground. Keep your weight evenly distributed between the front and back of the platform so
