You’ll learn how to safely master the mini bob in no time!
Try out and learn the riding technique first on a terrain with little gradient before using the mini bob on steep slopes – help children to learn!

For novice drivers:

Braking: Pull the control stick towards your body (only the rear trailing edge of the mini bob is used for this), keeping your upper body upright. Do not use the feet to brake – they are only for stability!

Steering: Shift your upper body to the left or right, depending on which direction you want to steer, while always gripping the handle securely!

Ride: Sit comfortably on the mini bob and grip the handlebar with both hands. The legs always rest on the support surface – the feet should not touch the ground during the ride.

Tips for professionals:

Starting off / flat passages: Check that you are sitting securely on the mini bob and clamp the control stick between your legs. Now you can use both arms to provide propulsion.

Steering: To steer around sharp bends, you can also release the hand on the inside of the bend from the handle and stretch it out to the side while lightly gripping the snow. (Make sure you wear suitable gloves and take care of potential hazards such as stones in the snow).

Speed: Professionals reduce air resistance by shifting their upper body as far back as possible and stretching out their legs (do not let go of the handle!) – this will optimize their riding speed.

Please note: The legs and feet are not required for the driving maneuvers. They only provide stability! Please also read our clothing instructions in the FAQ. Everyone has the mini bob safely under control, because it obeys its driver, whether old or young, “at his word”. Sit on it and off you go.
