How stable is the YikeBike? How easy is it to ride?

The advantage of starting with a blank sheet of paper was that we could apply the necessary engineering principles to provide a very stable ride, right down to the tracking of the steering. The best way to see just how easy it is to ride is to look at the videos of people riding for the very first time. Most people learn in the first few minutes that they lean differently (and more intuitively!) than a when on a bicycle. After 10 minutes they can’t stop smiling. However, just like learning to ride a bicycle, we recommend you practice until you are very confident before going out into traffic or other congestion.
