Riding a scooter differs a little from riding a motorcycle or bicycle. Like riding a bike, the process requires some practice that will eventually breed skill and intuitive use. There are some simple steps you can follow. - The first thing to do is to raise your scooter in a full and upright position. This can be done by lifting the latch located at the base of the steering column. This process is done to unlock your scooter. - Press on the switch to power up your scooter. Study the battery life indicator and also your product information when your scooter model comes equipped with an LED display. - The handbrake can be found on your scooter's handlebars. These units are usually susceptible; thus, you need to be extra careful until you become very familiar with the bike. - If you want to increase or reduce the power of your scooter, make use of your products throttle, by hitting it. - During your trip, you can use the foot or hand brake once you’re ready to stop, or when you’ve reached your destination.
