Common Problems

common problems:

  1. My back leg gets tired very quickly. This means you have too much weight on your back foot. Try shifting some more on to your front foot for better riding efficiency.

  2. I can't stop wobbling. Stay low, use your legs as "suspension" and try to keep your core engaged whilst riding.

  3. My arms get very tired. Let your arms out a little bit. The handle doesn't need to be right next to your body the whole time.
