Practice Riding

Before you attempt riding in the real world, you must practice.

• At first, you should always use the Beginner Key and ride in areas free from obstacles and distractions.
• You should practice with the Beginner Key until you can step on, ride forward and backward, turn, and stop with the same precision as you walk.
• The more you practice riding, the safer you will be when you move out into the real world.

With practice you should be able to easily ride from one room to another within your home. You should be able to ride on a narrow, curving, paved walkway.

• Until you can ride with this precision, you should not attempt to ride in any area where you might encounter children, pedestrians, pets, vehicles, bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards, and you should use only the Beginner Key.
• Once you are able to ride using the Beginner Key with the same precision as you walk, you can try the other Keys.

Your first rides with the other Keys should be in the same secure areas where you learned to ride with the Beginner Key.

• Be prepared for, and carefully acquaint yourself with, the more sensitive turning rates of the other Keys. When you first use one of the other Keys, be especially careful to turn the Steering Grip very slowly.
• After you have practiced with the other Keys in the secure areas until you can ride with the same precision as you walk, you can gradually move to more challenging riding environments.
