1. A method of calibrating a personal vehicle control system having a sensor system and an electronic hardware component, the method comprising: first, initiating a calibration process from a mobile computing device; second, receiving a lean forward calibration measurement from the sensor system in response to a user leaning in a first direction on a personal vehicle system when the personal vehicle system is in a calibration mode; third, receiving a lean backward calibration measurement from the sensor system in response to a user leaning in a second direction on the personal vehicle system when the personal vehicle system is in a calibration mode; computing a normalization value using the electronic hardware component, as a function of the lean back calibration value, the lean forward calibration value, and a predetermined normalizing constant; and controlling a motor current to at least one wheel motor of the personal vehicle system as a function of the normalization value.
