HOW TO RIDE A SCOOTER | Move Off Stop Go Slow Stop | Throttle & Brakes | Part 3

[@anthonyboyle7240]

These videos are great mate, thank you. I'm considering buying a motorbike (Vespa) but I've never ridden one before. I can drive a car, but worried about getting on a motorbike. I'm less worried now thanks to you.

[@josephkent3238]

You have a gift of communication...

[@potcranger6]

Ian your video really help me to decide owning a motorbike. I keep repeating your coaching. many thanks again.

[@VaMartin]

As a beginner scooter rider, I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I was very disappointed when you didn’t cover cornering in any of them as this is an area in which I struggle. Will you be publishing a video on turns an corners soon? Thanks!

[@ianwatsons]

Hi - thanks for your kind words. I plan to do more videos as soon as a have a spare weekend (and my cameraman is also free).

[@MAYK1NG]

Yes and I am very curious about what a ‘throttle’ is!

[@Cvar00]

@@MAYK1NG The throttle is the accelerator, your right-hand handle in this case

Hi great information What scooter is this

[@shirleyasale9289]

Thank You for the video- turning corners was a bit intimidating.

[@mjbarran]

Your videos have been so very helpful!!!

[@tuckertillis]

Word of warning: after watching this video, I went to do some acceleration and breaking drills. Alternating between back, front and both breaks, I gradually increased my speed and distance to get out of my comfort zone. I crashed when trying just the front break. So a caveat would have been useful to a noob like me. I got some road rash.

[@ianwatsons]

Oh no - so sorry to hear! In my experience as a trainer... many problems occur when beginners grabbing that front brake (in other words "you are not alone").

[@blessingsbvocho7850]

Is this an automatic scooter,

very helpful friend

[@ianwatsons]

Glad to hear that

[@Rondawwg]

Which brake should be my go too brake? And what % of each of both??

[@ianwatsons]

Rear brake for controlling the bike (turns, steading, take off, slowing down, etc.) and then both when I actually want to stop or I need to slow down swiftly.

[@Rondawwg]

@@ianwatsons thanks.

[@MAYK1NG]

@@ianwatsons Excellent 👌🏼

[@jeradmaximus]

Is there counter steering in scooters too?

[@clangerbasher]

Small bike culture out in SE Asia looks amazing. I suppose the warmth makes the difference.

[@ianwatsons]

Yes indeed... only problem is when you stuck in traffic, it is stinking hot, you're wearing protective clothing & you are breathing in fumes. Other than that is fun!

[@presauced]

@@ianwatsons Yeah, the fumes here are surprisingly overlooked by people.

[@presauced]

Cool ass bike.

[@mohammadzaidan6776]

Goooood

[@padredamaso2357]

can the throttle and brakes in slow speeds effective in combi brakes?

[@JC-fx3wh]

Didn't know they drive on the left side in Thailand.

[@skay3264]

So I use the break similarly like I would use a clutch? I learned how to ride clutch and now I got a big 200kg schooter, and my trottle is jerky and I don't have a clutch to smooth it out. I should do it with the break? It does makes sense....🤔

[@TotallyNoobYT]

Can you tell me your scooter name?

[@ianwatsons]

primavera 150cc --- it's great for a busy busy city (I live in Bangkok).

[@VitoPosedi]

Isn't it mandatory to just rear brake more than front

[@ianwatsons]

Rear brake is the go-to-brake.

[@kg4135]

Riding with a reasonably heavy pillion, especially for a short rider like me I find it quite challenging to stop & move off, I sometimes trip when I stop, guess I gotta go to a gym

[@ianwatsons]

I understand. Another option... get a bike with a bigger engine.
