Everything works better under a little throttle. Don't use your legs at slow speed, give it a little juice to move it. I was used to mine before I left the IP parking lot when I bought it. That being said, I felt like I want going to dump it trying to move it out of it's space. Using a floorboard instead of a peg was odd at first, but I can't imagine not having boards now. As said, don't overthink it.
