Walking and looking around you at the same time. When you use the Alinker, look ahead, be aware
of who is left and right of you (don’t look at your feet / handlebar).
Making turns without having the feeling that you could fall over.
Using the handbrakes when necessary. Always have your hands on the handlebar, close to the
handbrake.
Going downhill safely. Be sure you know how to use the brakes, as well as your feet when you need
to make an emergency stop.
Navigating curbs, loose paving stones, tree roots and narrow paths.
Practice your skills by gradually adding challenges:
Try gentle slopes up and down hill.
Practice using the handbrake.
Use your feet for braking.
Always stay in control.
Try navigating around obstacles on a flat surface.
Be sure to avoid leaning left when you turn right and vice versa to avoid tipping.
Slow down and use smaller steps when turning.
Always be aware of the balance point. The device will tip if a turn is taken too suddenly or at too high
a speed.
Carefully navigate obstacles on a sloping surface.
Be very aware of the balance point on the Alinker.
It is best to pick a route that is directly uphill or downhill, not at a diagonal.
Take smaller steps so your feet are in almost constant contact with the ground for stability.
Practice getting over curbs.
Any obstacle like a curb needs to be approached at a 90 degree angle.
General remarks about the Alinker:
– At a higher speed than 3 mph, the function of the handbrake is limited. Please take note of this
when you go faster than 3 mph, or if you are going downhill.
– Maladjustment or misuse may cause problems for the Alinker user. It is important that an Alinker
user reports any trouble to the supplier and possibly make an appointment for a service call.
– Using the Alinker frame as a footrest, may cause problems. If an Alinker user puts a foot on the
frame near the wheel, there is a risk that (1) the foot touches the spokes (especially with little
feet or casual footwear) and (2) the foot slides off the frame, which may cause a balance problem
or a fall. It is recommended to wear sturdy shoes.
– When un-folding the Alinker, avoid pinching your fingers in the hinge joint
– Remember to have fun!
