Your First Ride, Solo

The essentials

Michael briefs every first-timer for about 5 minutes on the dock before launch. Two truths: the throttle responds faster than a scooter, and cornering is by weight shift, not steering angle. Ride the promenade loop first.

Highlights

• Full pre-ride briefing every time
• Kill cord attached to your wrist at launch
• 15-minute promenade is the right first ride
