HOW TO USE YOUR JETSON BEAM
RIDING THE JETSON BEAM
SAFETY GEAR
Helmet Most serious injuries that occur while riding are head injuries. This
could be prevented by wearing a helmet.
Elbow and Knee Pads For added protection, always wear elbow and knee pads
when riding your Jetson Beam, to prevent any serious injuries.
DRIVING TECHNIQUE
Foot Position - before riding put your foot as close as possible to the front
section of the scooter, and your other foot on the ground. Make sure that your
driving route is clear.
To start riding, boost yourself forwards (as on non-motorized scooters) with
your foot that is on the ground. Please do not push the thumb throttle all the
way down, get accustomed to the acceleration of the throttle.
Immediately after boosting yourself forward, slowly press the thumb throttle
downwards, tilt your body forwards so you shouldn’t fall backwards during
acceleration. The Jetson Beam will be in motion.
Avoid putting your body pressure on the handlebars in acceleration and
deceleration! Keep one foot behind the other, (it’s more comfortable to place
one foot forward and the other one turned backwards at 70-90°, like on skate/
surfboard). It will help you gain more stability.
NOTICE: Riding, like most sports, involves risk of injury and damage. By
choosing to ride the Jetson Beam the responsibility and all inherent risk is on
you. It is crucial that you know, understand and act according to safety rules.
Turns - The turns on the Jetson Beam are commanded by the direction you
turn the handlebar/front wheel in, and leaning your body in the direction you
are turning. Before turning look at the approaching direction and make sure
turning is safe.
Braking – You have two options to brake: e-brake and foot brake. To use the
e-brake, the Jetson Beam must be powered on. Press the e-brake while on the
scooter to make it stop (being careful not to press too fast, as it may cause too
sudden of a stop/jerking motion).
To use the foot brake, tilt your weight backwards so that the brake action will
come through the feet and not trough the handlebar and steering system. Lift
your back foot and step down on the back wheel cover. It is best to learn how
to adjust your center of gravity when braking, otherwise, you could fall forward.
