Step 6: Staying Balanced - Find your center of gravity. If your weight is
distributed correctly on the foot mats, and your center of gravity is level,
you should be able to stand on your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2, just as if
you were standing on the ground. IF NOT, you may feel like you are
moving in a particular direction, turning, spinning in place, wobbling
back and forth, or simply uncomfortable with the device.
NOTE – On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable
standing on the TAB | WHEELS GEN 2 and maintaining proper
balance. Having a spotter will help you feel more secure. The TAB |
WHEELS GEN 2 is an incredibly intuitive device; it senses even the
slightest bit of motion, so having any anxiety or reservation about
stepping on may cause you to panic and trigger movement that is not
otherwise natural to you. The best way to overcome that initial anxiety is
by having a spotter.
TIP – Stay relaxed, stand evenly, and apply an equal amount of
pressure on both sides of the device. Relax your muscles as much as
you can. Taking a deep breath and exhaling can help you achieve this.
Slightly bending your knees can also help. Once you can stand IDLE
and STOP, you are ready for the next step.
When you first begin using your TAB | WHEELS GEN 2, the fastest way
to move in your desired direction is to focus in that direction. You will
notice that just thinking about which way you would like to go will shift
your center of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that
direction.
