Step 5: Stepping On - Stand directly behind your scooter. Place one foot on the Scooter.
Keep all your weight on your back foot still on the ground. Otherwise, your
device will begin to move, making it di cult to step on evenly with your
other foot.
When you are ready, shift your weight to the foot already placed on the
device and step on with your second foot quickly and evenly (as described
in the diagram below).
TIP – Stay relaxed and step on quickly, con dently and evenly. Imagine
climbing a stair, one foot, then the other. Once your feet are even, try to look
up and once on the scooter it will take a few seconds to adjust the center-of
gravity according to your weight and friction on the road.

Step 6: Staying Balanced - Find your center of gravity. If your weight is distributed
correctly on the foot mats, and your center of gravity is level, you should be
able to stand on your scooter, just as if you were standing on the ground.
IF NOT, you may feel like you are moving in a particular direction, turning,
spinning in place, wobbling back and forth, or simply uncomfortable with
the device.
NOTE – On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable standing on
the scooter and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will help you
feel more secure. The scooter is an incredibly intuitive device; it senses even
the slightest bit of motion, so having any anxiety or reservation about
stepping on may cause you to panic and trigger movement that is not
otherwise natural to you. The best way to overcome that initial anxiety is by
having a spotter.
TIP – Stay relaxed, stand evenly, and apply an equal amount of pressure on
both sides of the device. Relax your muscles as much as you can. Taking a deep
breath and exhaling can help you achieve this. Slightly bending your knees can
also help. Once you can stand IDLE and STOP, you are ready for the next step.
If you begin to turn in a particular direction, focus on turning in the opposite
direction to stop turning. When you rst begin using your scooter, 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.
