Learning to ride
See training videos at
www.yikebike.com/owners/owners-video
There are five key things to remember:
1. Find a large area
- learn to ride in a
large safe area.
2. Relax
- keep arms relaxed and keep
most of your weight on the seat and foot pegs.
3. Smooth
- ensure smooth use of the
triggers.
4. Slow
- go at a moderate pace until you
can comfortably balance and steer before
increasing speed. This may take 10 to 30
minutes or more. Please use the learner’s
pin provided.
5. Knees together
- keep your knees
pressed against the YikeBike.
Preparation
Wear a bicycle helmet.
Sit on the YikeBike with power off and get
a feel for the steering and triggers etc.
Make sure you have a large area to
learn with no obstacles in the way (at
least the size of a basketball court).
Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and
clothes as occasionally when learning you
need to jump off the front at running speeds.
Wear appropriate shoes that will stay on your
feet and will grip foot pegs. Never ride
barefoot, in sandals or in high heels.
First ride
Make sure your arms are kept very relaxed
and keep most of your weight on the seat.
Have one foot on a foot rest, keeping the
foot pegs under the middle of your feet.
It helps to have someone to help you
learn the same way that you would with
a normal bicycle by walking along to
provide support in the beginning.
Keep your knees in close to the
YikeBike at all times.
Gently squeeze the accelerator trigger
(right side) to get up to a walking speed.
As soon as possible, lift your other foot
onto the footrest and use the accelerator
trigger to regulate your speed.
Start with gentle slow turns
before doing sharp turns.
