I've been riding both motorcycles and scooters for over 40+ years. I'd rate your video A+ and would recommend it to all first time scooter riders.

[@izzy99891]

Your video was excellent. You get right to the point in your explanation skipping all the extra unnecessary conversations you hear on other videos, great job ❤

[@rorschachmanhattan9612]

Seen a lot of videos but you give good step by step details thank you 🙏🏾

[@MelanieGuintu]

Hi Rorschach, I'm glad you appreciate the good step by step details in my video 👍😊

Hey Mel, awesome video, super informative!! Can't wait to get myself to Bali (hopefully next year)! Keep smashing it!

[@user-qr4xg3dy3i]

Great instructor on scooters anyway. I always wanted a scooter but figured I would end up crashing it and get hurt. I can ride a bicycle like for yrs so I guess I would have no problems maybe. Wish you lived where I am so you could teach me but your to far away. Your a beautiful lady and believe you have a kind heart. Take care.❤

[@MelanieGuintu]

Hey Lulu! Nice to meet you. I’m happy you liked my scooter video! 😊 Sending some love!

[@KubaJ100]

I find it funny that in your scooter a horn button is so large and a tiny indicator light switch is hidden below. But from watching videos of traffic in SE Asia I've got the impression that honking is the only way of signaling on the road 😛 Nice video BTW, I'm somehow experience motorcycle rider but I've never ridden a scooter in my life 🙂

[@Pele87t]

Hi Melanie, thanks for the video. How is the situation in Bali now? Moving freely around the island? Any other restrictions? Visas issued easily? Thanks, Predrag. PS. Don't wait again 4 months for the next video :)

[@MelanieGuintu]

Hi Predrag, you’re welcome. Thanks for watching the video! People are still wearing masks and getting their temperature taken and offered hand sanitizer. And yes I am moving freely around the island, no crazy restrictions. A lot of rumors are going around, but nothing set in stone just yet. Visas are still being issued, although it sounds like the KITAS visa is on hold for now. P.S. I was definitely enjoying my time in Bali within those first 4 months. Looks like time flies when you’re having fun 😉 More videos are coming soon. A LOT more 🔜✨
