4 SAFE RIDING TECHNIQUES
We sincerely hope every user can ride the MEGAWHEELS
®
safely. Think
back to when you first learned to ride a bike, skateboard or even drive a
car.
Although the MEGAWHEELS
®
is designed with gyroscopic balancing
technology in order to maintain maximum stability, it is still possible to
"override" the hoverboard and tip over when riding too fast for the condi-
tions.
Following these techniques can help ensure that you have a safe, fun
riding experience on the MEGAWHEELS
®
.
NOTE:
- MEGAWHEELS
®
highly recommends wearing appropriate safety gear
before riding your hoverboard.
- When going through doorways, remember that you are only 11 cm taller
on the board, don't ride it through.
- Wear flat shoes to maintain flexibility and stability.
- Use your best judgment to keep yourself out of dangerous situations with
your scooter.
- Make sure your feet are always on the pedals. Taking your feet off the
board while riding is incredibly dangerous.
- Bend your knees when riding on bumpy or uneven pavement to absorb
the shock and vibration, which help keep your balance. If you are unsure if
you can safely ride on a specific terrain, step off and carry your scooter.
- Ensure the vehicle speed is safe for yourself and others, and be ready to
stop at any time.
- When riding near others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions.
