Description
Controlling a gyro scooter requires utmost attention and concentration, especially for beginners. It is unlikely that you will be able to immediately conquer the streets of the city on it.

Species overview
Designed for solo riding and can support the weight of an adult... Carts for gyroscopes are mobile, some models are designed for the transportation of light loads. Today, 2 types of devices are available for purchase: standard or lever and leverless.
Standard
All such models have a common design. The trolley weight is about 5 kg. The device consists of a frame that ends with footrests... Bottom front - a maneuvering wheel.Behind the top - a plastic seat, on the sides of which there are control levers; below - mount on a gyro scooter associated with levers.
The frame consists of 2 pipes: one has a larger diameter, the other a smaller one, they are inserted into each other. This allows you to easily adjust the length of the cart to the length of the owner's legs, and after use it can be folded compactly. Riding on such a device is quite comfortable. Installation on a gyro scooter takes about 20-30 seconds, the device is held by the straps. Even if the gyro is discharged while riding, the device can be easily moved by hand using the footrests.
New models of standard trolleys are equipped with shock absorbers... These are durable springs that vaguely resemble the suspension on cars. Riding a cart with a shock absorber becomes even more comfortable and safe for health. The spring absorbs strong vibrations, allowing you to ride on uneven roads.
Leverless
These models are similar in design, with the exception of three details: they lack leverage; control is carried out by feet, not hands; factory wheels are installed at the back, so the hoverboard is mounted at the front. Such carts are also called gyro scooter strollers. The device is less comfortable to operate, but still safer, as it is carried out from a sitting position. To increase comfort, the stroller is equipped with shock absorbers.
Some models are equipped with the ability to raise and lower the seat... Adjusting the height level affects the maneuverability and ride comfort. High seating position is the most comfortable, although less safe due to low maneuverability. On tight bends, the cart can tip over.
A low ride provides more safety, but without shock absorbers, you will experience a lot of shaking, especially on uneven roads.

Control features
HoverKart trolleys are controlled by hands using levers, which are a kind of steering wheel. To move straight, you need to tilt the handles of the right and left levers forward with equal force, for braking and moving in the opposite direction - back.
Turning to the left and turning to the left is carried out as follows: the right lever should be tilted forward, the left lever should be left in its normal position or tilted slightly back. To turn right and turn right, the same steps must be performed in reverse.
