Any tips for smooth mounting? This is my biggest problem for now - how to do effortless mounting in a straight line especially uphill, it gets really stressful when you are next to cars and you start jumping on it up and down and wobbling all around.
At first I was keeping the center of mass behind the wheel and was sort of jumping behind it and pushing it forward as if didn't have any motor, which was a mistake, it required a lot of effort (the motor probably was working against me even) and mounting uphill was a real challenge.
Then I switched to tilting the pedal forward first with the resting foot to make it start accelerating on its own and pull me instead, the center of mass is now above the wheel so I am pretty much standing (jumping) straight or even a little tilted forward while mounting. This made it much easier and requires much less effort, but I am still missing something I feel.
Do you bend your leg that's standing on the pedal to be sort of in half-crouching position while mounting, or just keep it straight right off the bat? I feel like half-crouching could improve the smoothness as you don't need to jump on it as hard and you don't need to tilt the wheel to the side as much, instead you sort of raise the other leg and then stand up, if that makes sense. The only problem is when you half-crouching it's hard to do good solid pushes with the other leg.
