I've taught many people to ride a motorcycle. The bigger the bike and the faster you go, the more you need to countersteer, but the term really confuses people. So I've adopted a different teaching technique. I tell them - Push left, turn left and then I have them try it. The brain is a funny thing, they don't perceive it as 'counter' cause you are associating left with left. It's subtle but it works.

*Great **Latest.Bike** Scooter ! I have had it for almost 2 years now and it is still working great so far! Brake and acceleration are really smooth!*

My advice when it comes to brakeing and also if you go over uneven terrain. Bend knees a little bit, dont stand straight. It gives more stability and also if you fall you can make yourself smaller quicker. Usually what i been doing on longboard when i go fast, then i prepared to "roll it off" if i fall 🤟

Got a Hiboy s2pro a month ago, broke both bones in my left arm 2 weeks ago today because a car thought it would be funny to brake check me and stop to laugh at me after I had to make an emergency exit from the road to a parking lot to avoid hitting them. I hit the smallest pothole ever at 19mph but at that moment I forgot to lean back and went over the bars like superman. I'm so lucky I had a bike helmet on and just broke 1 arm in 2 places as it took the entire force of the fall, not a single other scratch on me. I can't wait to get my cast off at the end of July and get back out there, hopefully one day I can afford a better scooter. The worst part about scooter injuries is walking the scooter over a mile home with multiple broken bones and then driving myself to the ER since everyone I knew was working -_- Ty so much for this video, it'll help prevent future injuries!

Look at 5:06 or so in the video. Notice his head position. We go where we look. He is turning tight and looking where he wants to go. Turn your head! Look left & you’ll go left; look right to go right. When there are hazards like potholes…don’t look at the potholes (you’ll ride into them), look at your safe path through them. You’ll go where you look.

Hi, That could be a video on its own mate. I enjoy filming/editing process and I try to get creative every time. Many times my wife, who is a professional photographer, helps me with making the shots. On-ride footage comes from either go pro hero 7, or the insta360 one R camera. I use “invisible” selfie stick, chest mount, sometimes mount it on the scooter. Sometimes I use like 5m long stick and mount the 360cam on it sticking out of my backpack. For the “better quality” shots, close-ups and details I am using the Nikon z6 camera. I do use a wireless mic as well... I know it does not help a lot when I write it like this. I am getting a lot of inspiration from Peter Mckinnon, Daniel Schiffer, check out their youtube channels.

An important thing to do with any new motorized vehicle is to learn how everything feels first. This means spending time taking it to a big park, an empty parking lot and just try things out, such as braking hard, accelerating hard, corner hard etc. Learn what the scooter does at these extreme conditions and get used to how it behaves. A lot of accidents happen when people just take it out and ride in public and a dog runs in front of them or an obstacle causes them to brake hard, then they go over the top or lose control one way or another. Learn how these things feel before taking your scooter out on public roads!

Hi I ride with one foot facing forward and the other placed sideways as far to the rear as possible. This keeps me facing forward but keeps good balance at the rear. Should I try to get used to the skateboard stance or do you think there's a certain difference. I used to skateboard a long time ago (35 Yrs ago) and am not sure if my stance or yours has any advantages over each other, would love your opinion.

Barry Morgan I do think you are fine mate :) at least one foot sideways lets you feel/steer the deck. And if you already ride like this for a while there is no important reason to change the stance. It also ok to change your stance to let your feet/legs rest. On long trips my calves are crying 😂

Thank you so much for the video, I was always in the wrong position, all ahead. I did not understand the tire pressure part, for example on the m365 I have the 10 inch tire with reinforced air chamber, and 78kg weight, I currently keep them at about 3bar, I like it soft, and I do little road, what pressure do you advise me?

@VRMinde

4 жыл бұрын

Luca Cavallini hi, glad you found it useful :) There is always max recommended pressure noted by a manufacturer on the side of the tire, sometimes there is also a minimum pressure value. I normally use the maximum :) But it does make scooter more bumpy/gives more range. It is a personal choice I think. 10” tires my need less air than 8.5”. I weight almost 90 and I think my 10” is about 2.4 bars 🙄

Great video with good advice! Did you really ride your scooter with no hands? Did you lock the handlebars in place first? I'm too scared to try this. Also, when you know you're going to crash at 35kph, what's the best way to fall?

@VRMinde

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate! I did ride it without locking the bar and without holding the handlebar and steering with my feet and body :) It is dangerous and I do not recommend doing it. Best way to fall... It is hard to say, it depends. I am doing a lot of inline skating and falling many times a day in a skatepark. With every different trick, there is a different way to fall which you find out after repeatedly falling :D On a scooter, firstly you need to try and avoid crashing into hard objects - cars, trees, rocks etc. Going over the bars while holding the handlebar is not an option either :) You can almost always jump off on your feet, but if you are going more than 20km/h you will struggle to run that fast. I would most probably try to make a roll if on the hard surface or slide if on the grass. The best idea is not to fall :) I do not like electric scooters faster than 30km/h. E-bikes are better for bigger speeds. Larger diameter wheels, better brakes, etc.

Go for it

Everything is simple there, But if you need to just put in another 36v 12k ah battery - both main and controller connectors are next to the battery, front cover under your feet. Start there. Would like to see how it fits there :)

sunny steve Haha, of course if you ride things on 2 wheels since you were a child you will have lots of knowledge built through experience :) But when I watch people in large cities on the rental “bird” or similar scooters it seems like not many of them explored enough :)

You know, at the end it can work differently for everyone. If someone is used to riding two legs next to each other - they can do that. But if you already feel it is not comfortable - you better adjust and try it different way. If you have skated - you know how to control it with your feet and not your arms. Ride safe mate!

good tips! the only flaw i see is he's not wearing a helmet all thru out his demo, but when it's all over he's wearing a helmet. hehe. cheers!

James Michael Ramos Thank you mate. I admit I do not wear a helmet on a daily commute. I use bicycle/el.scooter instead of a car for every day riding, and I grew-up doing that without a helmet. Whenever I go to do sports - skatepark, mountainbike, even road-race bike I wear one. I am not saying it is a good excuse :D

Where did you buy your helmet/ name? Cheers Viking

To be honest, I don't even want to remember what it was like to drive the german m365 in the delivery condition with solid rubber tires and no suspension - every curve was like a suicide attempt at more than 10 kmh :-D

I can imagine mate :D

this might seem like an obvious one, but when riding you should always keep both hands on the bars beause of how short the bars are and where the centre of gravity is, it makes the scooter incredibly unstable at basically any speed

@VRMinde

It really depends on the scooter. Some of them are very stable due to the correct angle of the vertical steering tube vs the wheel and some are much less stable. I think about riding and steering the scooter as a skateboard - steering with body and feet more than with hands. I do a lot of one-hand riding when filming :)

In the app of the M365 Pro you can set the energy recovery intensity. I set this to high, which basically doesn't allow me to free roll except in steep slopes, but I use it as my primary break, by just letting go of the throttle. Do you think setting the intensity to medium or low and free roll more could give me more range?

HolyGarbage if you ride accordingly - it will, meaning you will need to disengage the throttle earlier. Can’t remember who made a video rolling down one of the longest mountain roads on the SurRon with max KERS setting on to check how much battery will he get back. It was around 2% on a very long and steep road down.

I like your tips but I feel KERS has a function not many people get. If you were to ever crash or get off your scooter at high speeds, KERS will automatically slow the scooter down to a stop in a couple seconds, which will likely prevent it from flying off into cars, or worse, pedestrians. I have been involved in a fall which was somewhat bettered by the breaking, so I shall say I'm speaking from personal experience. I can also see it preventing accidents on a very bumpy road which requires you to hold tightly onto the handlebars, although I agree with you on only holding onto them lightly if possible.

Empire Beats thanks for your comment mate. If there were a lot of mountains/hills around me I would probably leave it on. Here in Denmark is so flat, that it is hard to find any incline :) Regarding the bumpy road - I find it the most dangerous when I hold the handlebars with one hand. I tried letting my scooter run without holding the bars on a bumpy road - it jumps and wobbles like crazy, but the more speed you have, the more stable it actually is 🙄

the counter steer is a good skill to learn. it has saved me on my motorcycle before
