Kickbike in Traffic
Kickbike in Traffic
Check your local traffic regulations for any rules about scootering. They vary
between different countries and states. Even within one country a law enforcement
officer’s interpretation of a Kickbiker’s status in traffic might base on first
impression rather than legislation. If in doubt, you’d better use common sense and
use the safest alternative. Although a pedestrian by definition, a Kickbike can be
taken on the road or bicycle lanes with a helmet.
Stopping and Starting
Stopping and starting is easy with your Kickbike. You can transfer from kicking to
walking or vice versa with one step. The fastest way to kick off is to take a couple
of running steps and then jump onto the footboard.
Walking your Kickbike
A short and narrow rear makes the Kickbike much easier to walk than a bike.
When walking your Kickbike you can hold it on the stem. This leaves your other
hand free.
Carrying your Kickbike
You can jump over the edge of a sidewalk, but it is easier to take a few steps
carrying your Kickbike and then jump again onto the footboard.
It is convenient to carry your Kickbike in stairs to a suitable safe storage location.
Carry your Kickbike holding it on the frame. It is a natural handle.
If you use public transportation with your Kickbike, you might like to own a
Kickbike Bag, so that the tyres don't scratch or smear your fellow passengers.
Furthermore, with your Kickbike neatly packed there will be no dispute with the
conductor whether the Kickbike is a bicycle requiring an additional fee or not.
Parking
You can use the Kickstand to park you Kickbike. Alternatively you can lean it
against a wall or lay it on the ground. It has no easily damaged parts, such as
the pedals and gears on an ordinary bicycle.
