OPERATING PROCEDURES
FIRST RIDE GUIDANCE
Learning to ride JackRabbit is easy. Adjust the saddle height such that both feet rest flat on the
ground when seated. Start out on a section of flat, smooth road. Toggle the power switch on the
underside of the frame to the ON (
I
) position. Next, push the top of the Speed Control Switch (SCS)
with your left thumb and JackRabbit will slowly start to move. Release your thumb anytime to coast.
Experience steering turns without your feet on the folding footrests. Instead, let them drag on the
ground to build confidence. Once you get a feel for JackRabbit
’
s handling characteristics put both feet
on the footrests while going in a straight line at a slow speed. Gradually introduce steering to sense
how your feet and legs react. Most experienced cyclists will need to
“
unlearn
”
using their feet.
Practice letting your legs just ride along and follow your steering hands. Remember, you can quickly
and easily put both feet on the ground at any time. This is something you cannot do on a bicycle, so
it
’
s not an instinctive reaction and may therefore take some practice.
DO NOT take your hands off
the handlebars while your feet are on the footrests. This could cause you to loose control.
