To prevent early fatigue in your muscles, learn to change the kicking leg frequently. Changing legs is the only new thing to learn if you already know how to ride an ordinary bike.

When you are ready to change again, do the same steps the other way around.

Practice changing your leg so that you don't have to look at your feet all the time in the traffic.

A suitable change frequency is about 5 kicks per foot. A simple guideline is:

Relax. Enjoy Kickbiking. Don't try to force yourself into a certain style or speed. You can balance like on an ordinary bike. The only difference is in the feel, because you don't have a saddle - and that's a good thing!

Despite some false preconceptions, you can ride your Kickbike uphill as easily as you do bicycle. You need to master the technique, though, in order to take advantage of the Kickbike's light weight.

When the road starts to ascend, the Kickbike tends to slow down noticeably between the kicks. However, don't slow down consciously. Instead, alter your technique.

Increase frequency. Take shorter kicks. Change your pendulum-like kick to a rotating one. When you keep your kicking knee slightly bent you can bring the leg quickly back to the front for a new kick. In the kicking phase, however, try to keep your legs straight, avoiding excess vertical movement.

If you wish to increase your frequency further, you need to learn the jump-change of the leg. Jump immediately after you have kicked and are bringing your kicking foot to the front. A low, almost inconspicuous jump does not waste too much energy.

If the hill is too steep for your fitness or skill, don't be discouraged. It is extremely easy to move into running or walking. For a beginner this is often the most convenient alternative.

When the velocity downhill increases enough, you will soon notice that it's better to stop kicking. It is easiest to stand on the footboard with both feet pointing slightly aside to the same direction.

At the end of the descent let your Kickbike roll while the velocity decreases to your normal kicking speed. A beginner often starts kicking while the speed is still too high and touching the ground only slows the journey.

Always reserve enough room for braking by adjusting your velocity according to visibility. It takes more time to stop in downhill than on flat land.

Check your local traffic regulations for any rules about scootering. They vary between different countries and states. Even within one country a law enforcement officer’s interpretation of a Kickbiker’s status in traffic might be based on first impression rather than legislation. If in doubt, you’d better use common sense and use the safest alternative. Although a pedestrian by definition, a Kickbike can be taken on the road or bicycle lanes with a helmet.

Stopping and starting is easy with your Kickbike. You can transfer from kicking to walking or vice versa with one step. The fastest way to kick off is to take a couple of running steps and then jump onto the footboard.

A short and narrow rear makes the Kickbike much easier to walk than a bike. When walking your Kickbike you can hold it on the stem. This leaves your other hand free.

You can jump over the edge of a sidewalk, but it is easier to take a few steps carrying your Kickbike and then jump again onto the footboard.

It is convenient to carry your Kickbike up or down stairs to a suitable, safe storage location. Carry your Kickbike holding it on the frame. It is a natural handle.

If you use public transportation with your Kickbike, you might like to own a Kickbike Bag, so that the tires don't scratch or smear your fellow passengers. Furthermore, with your Kickbike neatly packed there will be no dispute with the conductor about whether the Kickbike is a bicycle requiring an additional fee or not.
