If the touch button malfunctions, or if it cannot be shut down in an emergency, please tilt your unicycle twice within three
seconds until you hear the sound "Be Careful" as the unicycle shuts down automatically.
5.4. Steps for Beginners
Turn on the unicycle and use one hand to hold the unicycle. Make sure the unicycle stays vertical to the
●
ground.
Open the pedals on both sides, and position both legs next to the pedals in parallel position on both
●
sides of the unicycle. Put your left foot or right foot (depending on personal preference) on one side of the
pedal, and make sure you step on the center of the pedal.
Keep your upper body upright with your eyes looking straight ahead, just like you are standing on flat
●
ground. Slowly shift your center of gravity over the opposite pedal, and lift your foot from the ground to that
pedal.Findyourbalanceuntilyoucanstandononefootonthepedalwithyourlegsuprightforashorttime.
Relax your calves and use both feet to stand on the pedals in order to keep your balance during riding. Some minimal
●
momentum will help you keep your balance while learning to ride the
unicycle.
It is very common that you might lose your balance momentarily
●
and fall to the side. Therefore, please ask a friend to hold you to get used to
the unicycle or use the wall or railings to keep your balance during practice.
After you familiarize yourself with how to keep your balance on
●
the unicycle, you can adjust the center of gravity (by leaning) or control your
feet
