Watch a video of the backwards bike. Once you learn to ride it, you forget how to ride a regular bike. It takes awhile for it to click again.

Yes. Accept mine will be an e-fat bike and also beach cruiser too

 

[KenW449]

Ride it with hands crossed and it’s normal.

that's why i only ride on the internet...

We had one at a sales training in the office about a month ago. A few people took serious digs, it was great. I made it the farthest at about 20ft from a dead stop. They required that you keep both feet on, which made it even harder. If I had made it 30ft I had $1000 sitting on the table waiting for me. Frustrating to say the least.

One dude in the video tried that. Didn't look like it was helping. Your brain still probably tries to turn right to go right.

It's your balance, not the steering. You can tell the steering to go opposite. Your balance wants to go counter.

 

[Toshi]

I’d hop it 30 feet if it had brakes, or at least try if it didn’t.

seems like it would be easy if you just rode without hands...

Start no hands from a dead stop

probably easier to figure out than the whole backward thing

fwiw, i've never tried either

Backward riding is dead easy.
