While balancing your weight, gently turn the handlebars in the direction you want to go. When making sharp turns, remember to slow down your speed using the handbrake or footbrake to avoid losing control.

To slow down, release the throttle, and apply the handbrake gently. To stop, press the footbrake down on the rear fender. Always keep safety in mind – be vigilant and avoid sudden brakes, especially when riding at high speeds.
