remain constant driving. When you shift your weight back, you will slow down and you can
even drive backwards with a lot of practise.
Finding your balance for the left and right side is very much like driving a bike. You keep
balance by making use of the speed. When you’re wheeling slowly you’ll have to adjust more,
just like on a bike.

6. Battery and charging
6.1 Effect of temperature on the battery/distance
The power of the battery is related to the temperature ( Celsius). There will be a difference in
the distance of a fully charged battery under different temperature conditions.
6.2 Effect of weight one the battery/distance
These are factory specifications under ideal conditions with the person weighing 60 kilos.
With 10 degrees Celsius outside the Future Wheel travels a distance of 18 kilometers. Under
the same conditions, a person of 75 kilograms reaches approximately 14.4 kilometers ( 18km
