Learning to ride
• When you stand up, it is very important to stand STRAIGHT UP. Do not stand up and lean forward aggressively as you could overdrive the
system and cause a crash. When standing, use your arms to push the handlebars forward to accelerate and pull the handlebars toward
you to slow down. Make sure you are seated prior to stopping completely so you can put your feet on the ground to balance yourself when
you come to a complete stop.
WARNING:
Do not stand up on the pegs until you are comfortable riding in a straight line, accelerating smoothly, stopping and controlling your speed.
SLOWING AND STOPPING
This section covers the three stopping options.
Posture Stopping
Moderating your speed using posture soon becomes second nature. Here’s how:
• Lean back. To slow down or stop, lean back.
**Be sure and stay within the balance window. With time, you will learn the more quickly you lean back and the harder you lean back, the
faster you will decelerate and stop.
Stop-Assist Lever
The stop-assist lever is not a brake. It does not directly stop the Micro-Cycle or take balance away from you. Instead, the stop-assist lever
accentuates the effect of leaning back by tilting the frame back. This sits you back at an angle that lets you slow the Micro-Cycle more
aggressively.
Here’s how to use the stop-assist lever.
WARNING
Use the stop-assist lever only when you are sitting straight up. Never pull the stop-assist lever while leaning forward.
1. Lean back while firmly pulling the stop-assist lever toward you. The nose of the Micro-Cycle gradually lifts to let you sit back in the
seat, put your feet on the ground and stop.
NOTE
The stop-assist lever is an on/off switch, not a proportional control where the harder you squeeze the harder it works. However, it does tilt
more depending on the forward speed of the Micro-Cycle.
2. The Micro-Cycle returns to level when you release the stop-assist lever.
MORE AGGRESSIVE STOPPING
The following technique is the quickest way to stop your Micro-Cycle.
1. Simultaneously squeeze the stop-assist lever, pull hard on the handlebars, extend your hips back and lean back aggressively.
Remember to put your feet down when you come to a complete stop.
2. The Micro-Cycle can stop only as fast as the balance window allows. With a rider weighing 180 pounds, the Micro-Cycle traveling 10
mph can stop on level ground in about eight feet.
