Launching your pumpabike

• Hold the pumpabike over the edge of the water with the big wing just touching the water.
• Place one foot in the toe strap, whilst holding the handle bar.
• When ready, roll forward in order to place the front (small) wing into the water.
• Now for the most important step. In a very smooth action, push the bike hard away from the side. This will make you start to “fly” (This is the take off step like an aeroplane)
• Once the bike is “flying”, you then start to bounce up and down in the toe straps. This will propel the Pumpabike forward.
• Once “flying”, it is important to keep the wings in a horizontal plane. This is done by keeping your body centralized. To correct any sideways roll, simply move your body to counter this roll.
• Enjoy the ride, and come back to land carefully so the bike will not be damaged on rocks or similar objects.
  

The Pumpabike's Ingenious method of Human-Powered Propulsion is simple: Push off to get going, apply force onto the rear of the Pumpabike and the resultant thrust propels you forward at speeds of up to 30 km/hr or 18mph.
