Basic Driving
Forward Travel Practice
9
Gradually move both ground speed control levers — evenly
FORWARD from neutral. Slow down and repeat.
NOTE: Straight forward travel takes practice. If necessary, top
speed can be balance-adjusted — see the Speed Balancing
Adjustment in the Adjustments section near the back of this
manual.
Reverse Travel Practice
10
LOOK DOWN & BEHIND, then gradually move both ground
speed control levers evenly BACK from neutral. Slow down
and repeat.
NOTE: Practice backing up for several minutes before
attempting to do so near objects. The rider turns sharply in
reverse as well as forward, and backing up straight takes
practice.
Practice Turning Around A Corner
11
While traveling forward allow one handle to gradually return
back toward neutral. Repeat several times.
NOTE: To prevent pivoting directly on the tire tread, it is best
to keep both wheels going at least slightly forward.
