Notice in the diagram above, your center of gravity determines
which direction you move, accelerate, decelerate, and come to a
complete stop.
TIP - Try staying relaxed and focus on finding your center of gravity to
maintain full control. Tilt your center of gravity in the direction you wish
to move. To turn, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay
relaxed. The more comfortable you get on the IO HAWK, the easier you
will maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your
weight to overcome the centrifugal force. For bumps or uneven roads,
bend your knees.
