Apparently the best way to learn to balance the thing is to remove the pedals and just use your feet to push yourself along? Once your body has learned to keep the thing upright (which is 90% of the skill), as in you can roll down a long hill in a straight line without letting your feet touch the ground, you can put the pedals back on.
You also probably won't fall this way!
Allen but one of the good ones
