.....and the Generation 2 (and SE) Patroller models act entirely differently, when the rider dismounts.

Or, you can step back onto the platform and resume gliding as usual.

Or, you can lean it against some stationary object, and it will politely stay there until you get back on the platform. I use that mode when I glide to the big neighborhood mailbox to get my mail.
