Standing up and getting out of the Cruiser
Factors that may affect the risk of tipping include (but are not limited
to): speed, weight of user, steering, uneven surfaces, inclined surfaces,
riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction, and abrupt
directional changes.
BEFORE standing up:
Ensure that the Cruiser has come to a COMPLETE stop in a safe location on a
at even ground-level surface, where the Cruiser will not create any obstruction
or hazard for others.
Ensure that the power is OFF, and that the rear lever is still in Drive mode.
(Otherwise, if in Neutral/freewheel mode, the Cruiser may move unexpectedly
while the user is in the process of standing up.)

b)
Ensure that your footwear is secure (e.g. tighten any loose shoelaces), and that
no hair or loose articles of clothing/jewelry/etc are caught on any part of the
Cruiser.
c)
The handlebar can also be gripped for support during this step, but DO
NOT lean your full weight against it, to prevent potential injury or product
damage.

Option #1: Getting out of the Cruiser seat from the deck
Ensure stable footing on the deck, and gradually stand up, using the (lowered)
armrests as support if necessary.
Before stepping off the deck onto the ground, orient yourself on the deck so
that you are facing the intended pathway, and ensure the intended pathway is
clear.
