    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.

    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 !

    • @thatvampirelorraine
      @thatvampirelorraine Před 4 dny

      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

    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.

    @ahmedsaid886 Před rokem +3

    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!

    @JT-vn5nb Před 11 měsíci +2

    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! :)

    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

    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.

  • @theone2be33
    @theone2be33 Před 2 lety +3

    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.

  • @kindleenglish406
    @kindleenglish406 Před rokem +1

    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.

    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.

    • @freshlycharged

    Using this scooter for short commutes is the way to go, as it makes it really fun. czcams.com/users/postUgkxvyNuxpWiHTNypxG6nyqyf7ywc7Q16PDM Both the levels of speed it allows you to use are very fun, though 20mph can get pretty scary on bad roads. It makes a cool electric sound as it is accelerating. The battery life is also pretty impressive, as I can go anywhere around me within a ~10 mile radius and back home with a full charge. I expected the tires to feel somewhat like a toy, but it is legit, and has pretty good grip on surfaces. Braking on this scooter is also really fun, since you can even do a little drifting if you break hard. The wheels on the scooter are definitely very high quality, as they are wide and well sized. The entire scooter is pretty high quality too. I have fallen on it a couple times because I was being a little reckless, and the scooter still works perfectly fine, with some minor scratches on the sides. I found the brake lights to be very cool as well, since they flash when you brake.
