- gnicholas 4y agoWhat do you wear in terms of safety equipment?
- slt2021 4y agoI dont wear any safety gear, because (1) I dont speed, (2) I know and feel my board enough to be safe, (3) monitor battery and dont ride below 10-15%, (4) I can roll/run it out if anything happens. but newbie riders should at least wear a helmet, and install fangs to protect themselves from nosediving. These are a must, I would say
- gnicholas 4y agoThanks for the info! What do you mean by not speeding? How fast feels safe on well-paved residential streets, streets with traffic, etc.?
- slt2021 4y agoMost nosedives happen at around 19-20 mph, I usually dont drive faster than 13-15. Also depends on the weight, if you are tall&heavy, you should drive even slower. Also nosedives happen if you just plain accelerate on flat ground with flat stance, I prefer to “carve” and alternate weight between sides of the wheel. That way you can decrease power required to move (because of decreased contact area and decreased rolling resistance)
