Footbike search for beginners
The main parameter is to test the footbike. It will guide you on the price, the idea of the footbike capabilities and its usability. Another is to have the footbike set up correctly. Across manufacturers and models, this can sometimes be tricky and it doesn't quite pay to blindly take your neighbour's advice.
We definitely recommend that you always test your footbike where you will be riding it. That's why we allow rentals for longer periods of time. You can ride in the woods on both a road footbike and a suspension footbike. The term "in the woods" means something different to everyone.
In the case of a poorly chosen footbike, you regret the money invested, but because riding is not so much fun, you don't ride it very often. More just out of obligation from such an expensive toy. Until eventually you stop riding altogether.
Our emphasis on the right choice is a bit too much in places, but a footbike doesn't forgive as much as a bike.
We can help you clarify terms such as inertia, correct handlebar height, scooter stance, scooter restlessness, stiffness and more.
