On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable standing on
your Rocket and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will
help you feel more secure. The Rocket is an incredibly intuitive
device; it senses even the slightest bit of motion, so having any
anxiety or reservation about stepping on may cause you to panic
and trigger unwanted movement.
When you first begin using your Rocket, the fastest way to move in
your desired direction is to fOCUSin that direction. YOU will notice that
just thinking about which way you would like to go will shift your
center of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that
direction.
Your center of gravity determines which direction you move,
accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop. As
described in the diagram below, tilt your center of gravity in the
direction you wish to move.
To turn, fOCUSon the direction you wish to turn and stay relaxed.
WARNING
Do not turn sharply or at high speeds to
avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly
along slopes, as it may cause injury.
As you get comfortable on the Rocket, you will notice it becomes
easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to
shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.
Bend your knees if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then
dismount and carry your Rocket to a safe operating surface.
