19 / 33

If the touch button malfunctions, or if it cannot be shut down in an emergency, please tilt your V3 twice within three seconds until
you hear the sound “Be Careful” as the V3 shuts down automatically.
5.4. Steps for Beginners
Turn on the V3 and use one hand to hold the V3. Make sure the V3 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
V3. 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. Find
your balance until you can stand on one foot on the pedal with your legs upright for a short time.
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
V3.
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 V3 or use
the wall or railings to keep your balance during practice.
After you familiarize yourself with how to keep your balance on the V3,
you can adjust the center of gravity (by leaning) or control your feet to change
the direction when you move forward (as shown in the diagram).
