Another tip you shouldve included is to never go fast on unknown roads. Unexpected potholes or objects on the bike lane at high speed is a good way to get thrown off your scooter.

That's a good tip, but this wasn't really a safety video. I have a video covering safety tips like that 👍

I just got my first hyper scooter and I have been watching all of you videos on tips. Thanks for making easier to learn

ALWAYS have full riding protection if you're doing over 20mph. Full face helmet, minimum of a quality riding jacket and CE level 2 protection for at least the elbows and knees. Since you will likely take an upper body hit if you get into an accident, as much protection for your chest and arms is paramount. If you have a scooter capable of hitting 50mph, you basically want to spend about half as much on protection as you did on the scooter in total. Sounds pricey, but you only get one you, and you do not want to deal with the aftermath of a shattered elbow or knee. Have fun, but always ride safely. I'd highly advise against night rides too, though if you do decide to take it on the roads in the dark, ride with traffic. Stay out of the bike lane and off sidewalks. Too many idiots try to ride bicycles going the wrong way on the sidewalk and some dumbass riding the wrong way in the bike lane was how I got hit... and I wasn't wearing pads. RIP elbow. Mostly recovered now, but I constantly kick myself every time I look at the scooter in my room. I can't say that Level 2 protection would've saved my elbow, but I think it would have done a lot to mitigate the impact damage. (40mph total impact velocity, estimated.) My uncle recommended I purchase Bohn-brand protection for riding. He's been riding and racing motorcycles for more than 30 years, so I trust his recommendation. bohnarmor.com/product-category/armored-motorcycle-riding-shirts/ bohnarmor.com/product-category/armored-motorcycle-riding-pants/ Motorcycles have actual mass to absorb potential hits/impacts/crashes. Scooters do not. If the example is the Teewing Mars line of scooters, It should not be too over the top to recommend $500 worth of protection for your body if you want to ride at >40mph! Just my ten cents. :D

All good tips to keep in mind. I always try to remember that I am not as good as I think I am.

What do you think is the fastest but 'safe' speed. For me i think for a smaller scooter its 30-35km/h and for full suspension large scooter 40-55km/h. Live to know your thoughts 😅
@RK9Rides2 күн бұрын
Yeah, I think around 30 mph (50 km/h) is relatively safe and still fun for dual motor, full suspension scooters. I think risk goes up significantly after that

I would go nearly 300 kmph on my Ninja ZX9 years ago, but I feel uncomfortable going 40 on a scooter now. lol

Scooters also seem particularly dangerous for more reasons than he lists. 1. Many scooters have insufficient headlights, taillights, and often if at all, turn signals. Without turn signals, a car may misjudge where you're going, and hit you! 2. When the battery is depleted, they don't have pedals - nor do they coast well - and should you misgauge your trip distance, this could leave you walking - which at night, could make you vulnerable to cold or the weather, or walking on a road. 3. They are relatively new, and thus misunderstood by other car drivers. Car drivers may not know if you'll stop at stop signs, if you'll walk at crosswalks, if you'll yield at yield signs. 4. There's not many places to get them fixed, nor for spare parts, even if you knew how to do repairs or maintenance. Anything not working or not working well, like brakes, lights, or tires, can make it hazardous. 5. I am not out of reasons scooters are dangerous, just tired of repeating myself.

Just because it is dangerous doesn't mean everyone will stop using them man

I own scooter for four years and totally agree with you. But knowing all this dangers I added necessary lights for bicycles and adopted them for the scooter to be visible on the road.

If device has lithium battery, recommended temperature for buttery is 20-25 Celsius, or room temperature.

Call me old fashioned but i like to have my feet together when im carving it up, moving my body and the scooter side to side... even at speed.
