    Always wear a helmet, probably also wrist guards. Even better if you have some knee and elbow pads, especially while learning. A small blinking red light attached to your pack could easily save your life.

    Ride like you’re invisible, you might have a right of way but a car weighs a little bit more than you.

    Keep an eye on the battery. If you want to push the limits do it when it’s charged. It could cut out if you push it too hard, which doesn’t require you to be moving fast. I’d set the speed limit to below the default while you’re learning.

    They’re incredible machines, like riding a magic carpet. Have fun!
