1.9 Ride on a canted surface (a surface slanted sideways)
Simultaneously carry out the following instructions
when making a turn:
• Use your body as a counterweight. Lean your
body towards the slope.
• Keep your weight on the saddle (bike seat).
This increases the stability.
Caution: Do not ride on canted surfaces
that are steeper than 5 degrees.
1.10 Make a turn
Simultaneously carry out the following instructions
when making a turn:
• Slow down and take smaller steps.
• Always keep four or five points of contact on the
ground while riding.
• Use your body as a counterbalance, just like
when biking. Make sure that the center of
gravity (A) of your body remains within the
triangle.
Caution: Be aware there is a tipping
point where the Alinker will come up
on 2 wheels if turns are taken too fast.
Slow down, take small steps when
turning.
1.11 Other cautions
Avoid bumping into furniture or obstacles. If the
Alinker wheel comes into contact with an object,
and the black center button is depressed, the
front wheel can unlock and come loose. Check
the black button on the front wheel to be sure it
is not sticking out while riding.
Caution: Stop immediately when you
see the black button stick out and
re-fasten the wheel.
See 4.1.1. Put the front wheels on
