Update: I wanted to let you know I Rode My Scooter the 1st time bc of your Video Inspiration. Here is the Video I just Uploaded: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TZ2PSS5nDNE.html Thanks Again for the Positive Inspiration!
Thank you. So helpful to know Darlene doesn’t know how to ride a bike. Same thing-parents didn’t let me learn. Very encouraging to know she was able to get started so quickly. Going to place my order tonight.
Thanks so much for this! I've just bought a scooter and it's now charging. I have never stood on a scooter and to be honest, I'm a bit scared. I am waiting for helmet and other safety gear before I will start practicing. This video is incredibly useful. Thanks!
I don't know how to ride a bike as well! I'll be getting an electric scooter soon since we'll most likely be forced to report back to the office in a few weeks or months and I plan to use this on the daily since parking and gas expenses would be too much if I use our vehicle. Thank you so much for all the info you three have given in this video. It's been so helpful.
"I just didn't want to die" - best quote from new scooter rider :) Thanks guys for the video! I'm having my wife watch this trying to convince her to try it out!
THANK YOU for making my first ride a joy instead of a terror, Darlene, Jimmy, and Co. It really helped to know that she doesn't know how to ride a bike. After just a short ride I am ready to roll on the regular. Thanks again!
That's me ! That's me! I got a mega wheels a5, 4 weeks and 2 days ago! I had NEVER ridden a non electric scooter, never mind a escooter! So I bought one and a helmet! So far injuries are 2 skinned knees and 1 skinned elbows due to buying safety pads that were cheapish! After a month I feel confident enough to go into town centre, down a steep hill, under two railway bridges and through town centre to my chemist and back. These videos have helped me a lot ! Can u suggest quality safety pads !
After 7 weeks 6 days, I feel confident and don't go along screaming SORRY NEWBIE! Getting off at every hill, any pedestrians, narrowing pavement, bumpy pavement, any roads bisecting the path I am on ! I feel really confident but most importantly I have a quality helmet and pads
Interestingly, I taught my daughter how to ride a bike without training wheels 9 years ago while using a kick scooter (non-electric) to teach her the concept of balancing on 2 wheels -- once I put her on her bike (sans training wheels) she mastered it immediately as she understood the motion and steering principles while on the scooter. So, there's hope for Darlene, re: riding a bike, seeing how well she did on the e-scooters! :)
I love to always come back to this video over and over again...It's motivational from the both of you and big hits to Darlene for trying it out for the first time! (yeah I'm not the only one in this world with the same height and will be a first time scooter rider) Keep up the great work gentlemen! Continue being an inspiration Darlene. Such a great example of all around support!💜
I already know how to ride a bike decently, but the funny thing is that when I tried an e-scooter for the first time, I couldn't ride for a few meters forward!!! Finding this video is the main reason for me to learn how to ride a scooter. Thanks guys for this awesome video!
Darlene you gave me so much confidence because I also don't know how to ride a scooter. And no one to teach me. Watching you guys, I'm gonna teach myself how to do it. I've been putting it off for 2 months .... out of fear
I been looking at a bunch of videos for e-scooters since I'm looking to buy one and learn how to ride and build the confidence to learn. This video gave me a bit more confidence to learn!
Great video, only other thing I would have told her is to always keep both hands on the handlebar. I experienced the death wobble and barely able to run it off, I was lucky and didn't face plant on asphalt haha.
When I saw her get on the scooter I wondered if she knew how to ride a bike. Never seen someone struggle to balance on a scooter so I figured if she could barely balance on a scooter then she probably doesn't have the balance to ride a bike yet.
Thanks for the tip on leaning backwards when you stop. That's really helpful and hopefully after I practice I'll have smoother stops. I wish you would have talked about turning 😂😂
Kudos Darlene. Just like the previous version of you, I couldn't ride a bike or an electronic scooter. I'm originally from Ethiopia and I just moved to Italy to work (ironically, I design software for autonomous vehicles). I'm really thinking about buying an Electronic Scooter. I hope to find teachers like yours and pick up riding an electronic scooter as quickly as you did. Wish me luck
Amazing video, I bought my first scooter and it comes tomorrow. Its not the best, its a Hiboy s2 pro but at $399 it was the best I could get at the moment. I just need it to go a mile to work and back instead of killing my car. I'm a lot less nervous about it after seeing how fast she picked it up.
Don’t know how to ride a bike but I was a scooter kid growing up. So I got an e scooter, took it around the block twice and immediately started taking it to work and home from work.
People should always start at 10mph but love you speak about breaking. I break rear at slow speeds cause of my accident. At fast speeds I tap rear or hold rear and tap front
Hi Jimmy. I enjoy your vids. I have a question, I bought a Pint X. I know a helmet is necessary. I see a lot of people on youtube don't bother with knee and elbow pads for casual riding. Do you think they are necessary or do you find them cumbersome? Agility wise.
I heard about people having issues with cruise control on certain scooters. I don't think speed should be controlled strictly by an app. People will hack other people just to cause chaos and injury to others. Don't hurt Darlene. I want to she her with more safety gear on!
My first electric scooter is the vsett 10 plus, I was actually planning to buy the Nami Burn-e first, but it was way too big to take with me in the car or put it in the hallway. the vsett is a super nice scooter, the only drawback is that you have to continuously tighten the handlebars where it fold. For the first few days I had to be careful not to mistake the throttle with the brakes because that was dangerous. The first day was mostly learning to brake while leaning back. Foot position and realizing that you have to keep both hands on the handlebars is important.
Oh there's one question I would love to know from Darlene though, because she got to try and feel the difference between the thumb throttle and the finger trigger. How did you feel using the finger trigger on the VSett? Assuming you might have small hands like I do, the stretch for the finger might be a hassle for me. Let me know please.
Why have I never been on an electric scooter? Because our government hasn't [YET] deemed them legal to own and ride - fingers crossed for the near-future.
It's NOT a toy, so charge it properly, store it properly, use it properly - think safety (get some practice in first - "No helmet? NO WAY"). Happy travels and ENJOY THE MOMENT!
If you guys do teach her to ride a bike, please don't start her off on an electric one. Its like giving someone the cheat codes to a brand new game, they're not going appreciate and learn the skills from the ground up.
Darlene is one beautiful woman woe love her eyes and smile hi miss Darlene hope we see more of you here way to go just beautiful ride safe miss have fun
