Other tips on learning
to ride a YikeBike
Make sure your left hand is not on the brake
(squeezing this overrides the accelerator
and can cause a jerky reaction).
Look up ahead rather than down at the ground.
Make sure both your feet are firmly on
the footrests and have the confidence
to keep them on, using the accelerator
to power out of corners.
Things you can practice
Doing tight circles and zigzagging.
Going up and down small curbs
and over small bumps.
Hard braking
- once you have had lots of
practice go full speed then put the brake on full.
Emergency braking
- going at moderate
speed press the OFF button to simulate
stopping in case of a brake failure.
Front dismount
- repeat steps as
for the emergency stop, only lean
forward and you can practice stepping
off the front in a controlled way.
Turning your head to look behind either
way
- just like on a normal bike or driving a car
it takes practice to feel comfortable doing this.
Using indicators without looking at the buttons.
Using the horn without looking at the button.
Pre-ride check
Before you ride your YikeBike it is recommended
that you check the following:
Make sure all three latches and handle
bars are secure and completely closed.
Proper inflation for your tyres,
which is indicated on the tyres’
sidewall, tyre pressure 65 psi.
Lights are ON and indicators function.
There are no loose screws or bolts.
Brakes - check your brake system by
using it briefly soon after departure.
