Riding Style
It is important to make sure you’re comfortable and ensure you’re
riding with the correct stance. You can ride in two different stances as
shown below:
Balance
This electric skateboard uses a powerful motor which can throw you
off balance when accelerating and also decelerating. It is important to
pre-empt these forces and counteract the propulsion and/or the
slowing-down of the skateboard.
When accelerating you will need to either lean slightly forwards or
transfer weight onto your front foot.
When decelerating you will need to either lean slightly backwards or
transfer weight onto your back foot.
Gentle Control Inputs
When operating the hand control the rider must use a careful amount
of input onto the speed/braking controller. Similar to operating a
vehicle or motorbike, slow and small movements of the control(s) is
crucial.
Fast or erratic inputs to the speed controller will likely cause a loss of
balance and lead to the rider falling from the skateboard.
