drive safely Johnny
It was less scary than i thought it would be. You are a good driver its the others on the roads that scare me. Stay safe. And have fun
Thank you!
this is literally one of the best quality videos on utube!
the commentary, the camera angle and quality as well as the audio, the clarity and simplicity.
good job man.
hopefully when you are more comfortable on these scooters, u can review some of the higher end models.
stay safe!
Thanks!
oooh beautiful congrats on your new environment friendly e-scooter...i liked and treasured the way you made introductory on its behalf bfore you take it on your 1st spin down yonge frum eglinton to heart of downtown..along with that bright arizona like sunshine weve been havin lately..early summer in all its glory..thanks fro sharing tis masterpiece vid
Thank you Johnny, it was fun, I really like the shooter
Wow finally you got it and it looks awsome!
Johnny, it's a lot of fun, but be careful. Be well
Awesome! Thank you for scooter ride. Ride was smooth.
Thank you for introducing us to your new scooter! You will have so much fun on this showing everyone Toronto!
going back in time i remember when you got this one 😊it’s very similar to mine the brand name is reid it’s called boost has blue leds on each side so fun thanks for the ride commenting 2 years later 😅😊
What a beautiful ride on your new escooter. You did a fantastic job in your presentation. Loved your thumbnail. So happy for you #1 Johnny.
cool vid cant wait for night walks on the weekend
Great stuff Johnny. What a hoot. All the best in your future endeavours “scooting” around.
Enjoyed your escooter ride. You sure can manoeuvre it well in between cars & construction. Sure beats waiting in traffic. You did well with that purchase.😊
Thanks and in a lot of ways it's easier to manage than a bike!
Very cool ride Johnny. Stay safe!
Thanks Chris!
Wow nice scooter. Ride safely Johnny. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Nice to see a rider drive properly! Not breaking any laws wearing a helmet and being curious. If everyone drove their scooters like you do there wouldn't be any of the issues people complain about and their acceptance would be far easier to achieve! Well done !
Johny good to see e scooter " you good and sweet voice i am big fan of you" Love from Hyderabad INDIA
Was looking forward to seeing the first scooter video ,cheers Johnny
Thank you!
Good to see bike lanes being installed on Yonge, it’s long over due.
Hopefully they're permanent!
indeed a smooth ride, footage is also!
Enjoy the ride J
What a sweet ride you have there!I have watched your channel grow from when I subscribed when you were at 5k I follow you and bevie as my main walking channels I live in Melbourne in the state of Victoria in Australia and hope to come to Canada in twenty twenty four hopefully international travel will be allowed for us Aussies by then you will be able to give action kid a run for his money now I found you through his channel and now I watch you heaps more than Ak Toronto is more my speed and has similarities to Melbourne anyway have fun with your new toy best wishes from Melbourne 🇦🇺🇨🇦
Thank you and hopefully we'll all be travelling soon!
all this talk of E-Scooters recently made me go and buy one, Marketing does work!
Toronto is still deciding whether these should be allowed on the street. Might as well wait.
@@bboxxstance Good thing i Don't Live in Toronto, Plus we all know its going to get allowed for at least private use. there is no reason not to
Technically they're still banned at the moment but the police don't enforce it and the city has yet to give any actual (intelligent) reasons for this. Hopefully once those cranky dinosaurs who are opposed to them are gone we can get on with the inevitable...
@@JohnnyStrides is toronto the only place its banned in ontario? Cause hamilton its allowed for personnel use
Enjoy the ride Johnny....life is better with a scooter!!
I like your new hairstyle johnny. This change was good idea😊
Nice ride Johnny stay safe you are a good rider.
Thanks!
The parking lot is bumpy but the video is rock steady!
Really nice!!!!!!!! Just be safe 👍🏻😎
Loved the E Scooter ride. It's good to see you following traffic rules unlike others.
Ride Carefully as these bumps, potholes & tracks are enemy of small tyres.
😆❤💚 excited Ride Johnny
I have been thinking about scooting to work in Toronto too. Your video actually makes me second guess... the amount of construction and traffic, and the lack of bike lanes makes it an intimidating thought.
Understandable. It's possible to map out safer routes that probably take a little longer. Cheers
This is the future London!
Legalize pot
Legalize amfetamins
Legalize e scooters
You got the hang of it really quick. Just imagine when they finally invent the hoverboard (Back to the Future Pt.2) Johnny will be booting up & down Yonge Street having a jolly olde time. :)
i wonder how this'll keep up if you rip this on a gravel road... or just north west of the brick works path (under the cat eye bridge). anywho love your videos man! glad that i'm able to enjoy your content. ride safe and keep it up!
Man. Parts of that ride looked painful. Stay safe!!
It's surprisingly smooth over the bumps, the rear suspension really helps! For comparison the popular Segway Ninebot Max doesn't have a suspension and would have been noticeably rougher.
Yeah!! Johnny Scoots!! :D
nice electric scooter
E-scooters are fun, but they're also a bit dangerous, just keep a moderate speed and never lose focus while riding. Congrats
Bikes, cars, and even walking can be dangerous, too.
I'm sure any bike store could mount a water bottle cage on your scooter in a few minutes
Johnny Scoots
🛴 💨💨💨 Nice Ride 😎👍🏼
Got to get me one.
Cool.
When you are on the smallest tires, you are the biggest, they want to stop that! Never.
Bruh I’m trying to get this on my next pay day was looking for a vdo forever lol
You should get one of those water backpacks with the straw. Can’t remember what they’re called. I think that’d be good for scooter riding.
I have one but caught the water bag out lol
Wonderful
Bike lanes on Yonge!!! I thot I'd nevr see the day.Now if they can only do all the way to the lake.
Yeah, I don't get why it wouldn't be continuous... also why not start at Eglinton? It's a start at least!
Johnny get yourself a cage get yourself a couple of screw mounts they come in colors, and then go for yours!!!
Equipment upgraded
ace
Are you getting commissions with the E Scooter link?
Yes, I just moved that link up in the description for this video.. it should be down under the rest of the affiliate links moving forward. Cheers
I'd be scared to ride an e-scooter here in NYC because of all of the potholes and lack of stability. I think the key is going slow, like 15 mph max. If you hit a pothole with those tiny wheels at 20mph+ you're basically dead.
Which is brand your escooter?
It’s illegal in the UK to ride them in the open road just on private land
That’s fking garbage…
Yeah, but in London you can rent escooters in certain zones? So it's ok for private companies to make $$$ but individuals can't own them? WTF is that corrupt BS?
They're also banned in public in Toronto by our utterly incompetent city council (but nowhere else in the province) but fortunately the police have better things to do.
@@JohnnyStrides Yes your right you can hire a eScooter in London (since the 7th June 2021) but only in certain boroughs as part of a Government back scheme (Bojo want his share of the profits). You have to download a App first and do a online course before your allowed to hire them, over 18's only and hold a driving or motorbike license aswell. Privately owned ones will still be illegal to use on roads though (police are heavily fining people). Apparently burglars / thieves have been using them as get away vehicles alot.
maybe a little foldable stool on the scooter would be nice too
I have Ninebot Max.. 65K of range and weight 19 kilos. easy to carry in one hand
Are you the incredible hulk? That's not easy for 99% of the population to carry in one hand up a flight of stairs...
@@JohnnyStrides hehe... i need it to charge it somehow.. and carry to apartment is the only option. It's only 19 kilos.. i just made 50K with ninebot max. 45K just driving rest is on foot to stretch my self.. i made some videos with Max.
Is scooter better than Bicycle ? ( Ali from Iraq )
They both have pros and cons. I need more time on the scooter before answering. Cheers
You should have gotten a dualtron scooter, you would go alot faster then 25km, probably 50km
lol 25kmh is plenty for what I'll be using it for.
Dear Mr. Johnny Strides.. FEEDBACK... This will be brief.... Johnny is Toronto's Vlogger.... The stream seemed very smooth with the exception of a pothole, but it is smooth from my viewing POV.... I should think the live streams will be EXCELLENT compared to the fumbling about which I sincerely overlook because Rome was not built in a day.... How long is the life expectancy of your RECHARGEABLE BATTERY because like a CELLPHONE sooner or later you will need to replace the battery and what is the cost?.... Always in Good Taste.... CHEERS! .... Johnny is Toronto's Vlogger... So, when are you going to perform the Evil Keneval Jump from Lake Shore and onto Centerville Island using the E-Scooter??
Good point about the battery. All products these days seem destined for some kind of planned obsolescence. Perhaps the battery is replaceable or will last longer than the life of the scooter?
Make a video on Brampton I am in love with that place especially the houses
Btw awesome video ❤️
Brampton is a bit far but perhaps some day...
@@JohnnyStrides 👍👍❤️❤️
I want to make a shout out to all the fathers for Father's Day make sure you you young subscribers remember your dad this weekend
Hi friend, how can i contact you Mr. Johnny?
Thank you
He doesn't have any money to give you
Firsttty
Does Action Kid mind that you copy him with everything lol?
LOL! Scooters are becoming more popular everywhere.
Scooter program just begun in Ontario Ottawa 😉❤
I've been doing my own thing for quite a while :P
By leaving a comment I guess you're copying everyone else who leaves comments too? lol
Toronto needs to get with the program!
It's got nothing to do with Johhny. New York invents, Toronto copies lol it's the way it's always been. But seriously I had no idea Toronto put a vote in banning e-scooters that's just dumb.
First hehe
This is not SAFE dude fucking SICK.
e-scooters are prohibited on public streets, bike lanes, sidewalks, pathways, trails and other public spaces throughout Toronto
Yes, but the city of Toronto has failed to put forth a single compelling (or intelligent) argument or reason as to why this is. Fortunately the police don't enforce this absurd, ass-backwards ban (allowing ebikes but not escooters?). I have no problems supporting those who ride escooters and will do so myself... it's time to start doing what the rest of the country is doing and embrace the future.
What a lack of originality, that is done by actionkid from new york. I want to give you a suggestion, show yourself as you are,but your scooter is better than actionkid !!!
lol I've been doing my own thing for quite a while... also if you haven't noticed I'm not in NYC so it's hardly "copying" since it's an entirely different city. I do agree with you on the scooter ha
hello johnny, thanks for your answer, the truth is I have followed you for nine months and I have liked all your videos, I am from Colombia South America, and I would like to do the same as you do in my city, it is called Cali, the third city largest in Colombia, I would like you to know it. Look for it on Wikipedia.ah and if you can advise me, I would appreciate it. see you soon
