RIDING THE BALANCE
LEAN TO STEER
The Lean to Steer function makes it easy to steer the Balance, just shift your weight in the direction you would like the Balance to go. Be careful to not lean too hard on the handlebars.
FOOT POSITION
Before riding, put your foot as close as possible to the front of the Deck, and your other foot on the ground. Make sure that your driving route is clear. To start riding, boost yourself forward with your foot that is on the ground. Keep one foot behind the other, (it’s more comfortable to place one foot forward and the other one turned at 70-90°). It will help you gain more stability.
