On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable standing on your
hoverboard and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will help
you feel more secure. The hoverboard is an incredibly sensitive device; it
senses even the slightest bit of motion. Having any anxiety or reservation
about stepping on may cause you to panic and trigger unwanted
movement.
When you first begin using your hoverboard, the fastest way to move in
your desired direction is to focus in 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 and your
speed. Stand straight up to come to a complete stop. As shown in the
diagram below, tilt your center of gravity in the direction you wish to
move.
To turn, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay relaxed. Apply
pressure on your right foot to turn right and apply pressure on your left
foot to turn left.
As you get comfortable on the hoverboard, you will notice it becomes
easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift
your weight when making turns to maintain your stability.
Bend your knees if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then
dismount and carry your hoverboard to a safe operating surface.
Dismounting your hoverboard can be one of the easiest steps, yet when
done incorrectly, may cause you to fall. To properly dismount from a
stopped position, lift your dominant leg up and set your foot down on the
ground behind you (STEP BACK). Then, step off the hoverboard with your
other foot, as shown in the diagram below.
