Learning to do a "Wheelie"
WARNING: Follow these steps to help the rider learn to do a "wheelie."
1. Read and follow the warnings for "WHEELIES" on page 10.
2. Stand at the rear of the chair. You must be able to move with the chair to prevent
a tipover.
3. Keep your hands BENEATH the push handles, ready to catch the rider if the chair
tips back.
4. When you are ready, have the rider place his or her hands on the forward part of
the hand rims.
5. Have the rider make a quick backward movement of the rear wheels, quickly
followed by a hard forward thrust. This will tilt the chair up on the balance point of
the rear wheels.
