practice riding
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 (see
“use the appropriate key” on page 26) in the secure
areas until you can ride with the same precision as
you walk, you can gradually move to more
challenging riding environments.
> You should not ride in any location where you might
encounter children, pedestrians, pets, vehicles,
bicycles, or other obstacles and potential hazards
until after you have practiced riding on similar
terrain with no such potential hazards.
