It has a flat surface to stand on, a wheel in the front and the back, and a tall handlebar. The difference is that an electric scooter has a small, battery-powered motor to assist you with your ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most electric scooters can hit top speeds anywhere from 15 to 25 mph, depending on the motor. They can usually travel around 35 to 40 miles, depending on the terrain, the battery\u2019s size, and the rider\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you ride your scooter for the first time, you\u2019ll want to familiarize yourself with its features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Get-to-know-all-the-parts-of-your-scooter.-Pic-by-Hjordm\u251cNn..jpg\" alt=\"Get to know all the parts of your scooter Pic by Hjordm\u251cNn\" class=\"wp-image-5702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Get-to-know-all-the-parts-of-your-scooter.-Pic-by-Hjordm\u251cNn..jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Get-to-know-all-the-parts-of-your-scooter.-Pic-by-Hjordm\u251cNn.-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Get-to-know-all-the-parts-of-your-scooter.-Pic-by-Hjordm\u251cNn.-768x705.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get to know all the parts of your scooter. <em>Hjordm\u00e5n<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Steps at a Glance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Get to Know Your Scooter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do a Safety Check<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn and Practice Basic Riding Techniques such as Launch, Steering, and Braking<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Get to Know Your Scooter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, get to know your scooter before you ride it. Your scooter will come with a user manual that will tell you how to charge the battery and how to use the brakes, throttle, and kickstand. You\u2019ll also want to get to know the different parts of your scooter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Handlebar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Folding latch (if it folds)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Motor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Charging port<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fender<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Front and rear lights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tires and wheels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apps or display<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Do a Safety Check Before You Ride Your Scooter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anytime you ride your scooter, you\u2019ll want to do a quick safety check to make sure everything is in good working order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Tires. Check for flats or wear and pump your tires up to the correct pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure the brakes are working correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the folding latch locked in place?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the battery charged?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does everything look and sound like it\u2019s supposed to?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If everything checks out, you\u2019re ready to ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you always want to be safe when you\u2019re riding. So while rules and laws vary by location, you\u2019ll probably want to wear a helmet regardless of what the local laws say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good helmet will significantly reduce the chance of head injuries, especially since electric scooters can ride at faster speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also want to consider eye protection as well as knee and elbow pads in case of a fall. Motorists, scooters, and even cyclists can accidentally kick up loose gravel or road debris as they pass, which can cause injury to your eyes, so protective glasses are always a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you know the local laws in your area before riding your electric scooter on the road. In some places, it isn\u2019t even legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-good-helmet-and-glasses-will-help-protect-you.-Pic-by-George-Hodan.-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A good helmet and glasses will help protect you Pic by George Hodan\" class=\"wp-image-5768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-good-helmet-and-glasses-will-help-protect-you.-Pic-by-George-Hodan.-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-good-helmet-and-glasses-will-help-protect-you.-Pic-by-George-Hodan.-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-good-helmet-and-glasses-will-help-protect-you.-Pic-by-George-Hodan.-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-good-helmet-and-glasses-will-help-protect-you.-Pic-by-George-Hodan.-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-good-helmet-and-glasses-will-help-protect-you.-Pic-by-George-Hodan..jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A good helmet and glasses will help protect you. <em>George Hodan<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Learn and Practice Basic Riding Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A few basic riding techniques will get you off to the right start. Remember to go slow and practice! If possible, find an empty, flat, smooth parking lot where you can practice away from traffic until you get the hang of riding your scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this video on electric scooter basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Ride an Electric Scooter: Complete Guide &amp; Tips\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EHnErMI8Cgg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Stand on the Scooter Deck<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your position on the scooter needs to be stable and comfortable while giving you room to shift your weight. Most scooters aren\u2019t wide enough to put your feet side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So instead, you\u2019ll put one foot straight towards the front of the deck. Next, you\u2019ll use your back foot to push off. Then you\u2019ll rest it slightly angled and behind the other foot. You might want to try this a couple of times to figure out which foot you are comfortable having as your front or balance foot and which foot you want to use to push with, sometimes called the action leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn\u2019t a right or wrong when it comes to which foot goes forward. Ultimately, you\u2019ll need to find the position that makes you feel the most stable and comfortable. Then, with a little practice, you\u2019ll be able to figure out which leg you want to push off with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Figure-out-which-foot-you-prefer-to-be-in-front.-Pic-by-Marco-Verch..jpg\" alt=\"Figure out which foot you prefer to be in front Pic by Marco Verch\" class=\"wp-image-5703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Figure-out-which-foot-you-prefer-to-be-in-front.-Pic-by-Marco-Verch..jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Figure-out-which-foot-you-prefer-to-be-in-front.-Pic-by-Marco-Verch.-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Figure-out-which-foot-you-prefer-to-be-in-front.-Pic-by-Marco-Verch.-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure out which foot you prefer to be in front. <em>Marco Verch<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll do most of the balancing with your legs. If you find yourself gripping the handlebars too hard, you may need to adjust your standing position on the scooter so that you have better balance and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Kickstand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Z3A6CNku5LM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> riding your scooter<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to make sure to disengage the kickstand. In most cases, you can just push the kickstand backward with your foot. However, riding with the kickstand in place can cause damage to the kickstand or the scooter, so always check before you start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Launch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch is the scariest part of riding a scooter for the first time! But don\u2019t let this intimidate you; with a bit of practice, you\u2019ll get it down in no time. You may want to practice with the motor off until you are comfortable with the motions. Once you have the mechanics down, then you add in the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stand on your scooter with your balance leg, keeping your action leg on the ground. The motor of your scooter will not turn on and engage until you are up to speed. If this is your first time riding a scooter, set the motor to the lowest speed so you can practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Push off with your action foot, and as you do, slowly begin to engage the scooter\u2019s throttle. Once you are up to speed, the motor will kick in and take over, powering your scooter for you. This is typically around three mph. If your scooter has a zero launch feature, you won\u2019t need to kick off to launch. Instead, you can just turn on the throttle, and the scooter will go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accelerate slowly. If you push the throttle too hard, the scooter will lurch, which may cause you to fall. Instead, apply light, consistent pressure to the throttle until you reach the speed you want to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Practice-low-speed-turning-by-turning-your-bars-but-lean-into-high-speed-turns.-Pic-by-Asurnipal.-1.jpg\" alt=\"Practice low speed turning by turning your bars but lean into high speed turns Pic by Asurnipal \" class=\"wp-image-5706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Practice-low-speed-turning-by-turning-your-bars-but-lean-into-high-speed-turns.-Pic-by-Asurnipal.-1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Practice-low-speed-turning-by-turning-your-bars-but-lean-into-high-speed-turns.-Pic-by-Asurnipal.-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Practice-low-speed-turning-by-turning-your-bars-but-lean-into-high-speed-turns.-Pic-by-Asurnipal.-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Practice low speed turning by turning your bars but lean into high speed turns. <em>Asurnipal.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Steering Your Electric Scooter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Low-Speed Turning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are turning at low speed, you can steer the scooter by turning the handlebars toward the direction you want to go. Practicing slow-speed turning is a great way to improve your scooter handling skills and get you more comfortable on the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>High-Speed Turning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When turning at higher speeds, you don\u2019t want to actually turn the handlebars. Instead, you want to lean the scooter to turn it. But, of course, the faster you go, the more you lean. Just don\u2019t lean so far that you fall over!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll probably do this naturally, but if you have trouble, you might imagine that you are pointing your hips in the direction you want to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Practice-braking-so-you-know-how-much-pressure-to-apply-to-the-brakes.-Pic-by-Marco-Verch.-1.jpg\" alt=\"Practice braking so you know how much pressure to apply to the brakes Pic by Marco Verch \" class=\"wp-image-5707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Practice-braking-so-you-know-how-much-pressure-to-apply-to-the-brakes.-Pic-by-Marco-Verch.-1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Practice-braking-so-you-know-how-much-pressure-to-apply-to-the-brakes.-Pic-by-Marco-Verch.-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Practice-braking-so-you-know-how-much-pressure-to-apply-to-the-brakes.-Pic-by-Marco-Verch.-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Practice braking so you know how much pressure to apply to the brakes.&nbsp; <em>Marco Verch<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Brake on Your Electric Scooter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your scooter will have both a front and a rear brake, which you can activate by squeezing the hand levers. You\u2019ll want to practice braking so that you know how hard and how quickly you need to press the brakes in order to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your scooter has disc brakes, it will likely have a more powerful front brake. The front brake will give you plenty of stopping power without skidding. However, just like on a bicycle, if you pull too hard or fast on the front brake, you might fly over the handlebars. To avoid this, give yourself plenty of stopping room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another stopping technique is to push your weight backwards as you brake. You\u2019ll look like you\u2019re about to sit down on a chair. This helps prevent you from lurching forward as you slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself going too fast, rather than slamming on the brakes, which can be dangerous, you can lightly feather them to scrub off speed. This is a safer way to slow down, especially if you feel like you are descending a steep hill too quickly. Shifting your weight back will help keep your balance on the scooter, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are turning, you\u2019ll want to scrub off speed before you go into the turn. If you enter a turn too quickly and try to brake, your tires could slide out beneath you and cause you to crash. Applying the rear brake too hard will cause the bike to stand up straight, which means you\u2019ll miss the turn. Applying the front brake too hard can cause you to go over the bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Look-where-you-want-to-go.-Pic-by-Alex-Genz..jpg\" alt=\"Look where you want to go Pic by Alex Genz\" class=\"wp-image-5704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Look-where-you-want-to-go.-Pic-by-Alex-Genz..jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Look-where-you-want-to-go.-Pic-by-Alex-Genz.-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Look-where-you-want-to-go.-Pic-by-Alex-Genz.-768x593.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Look where you want to go. <em>Alex Genz<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>You May Also Like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/electric-scooters-for-adults\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Electric Scooters for Adults<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-electric-scooter-for-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best Electric Scooter for Kids<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-electric-scooters-with-seat\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best Electric Scooters with Seat<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Try These Extra Tips for Riding Your Electric Scooter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch this brand-new beginner learn how to ride her electric scooter for the first time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Total Beginner Learns How to Ride an Electric Scooter\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/peZUbWcdi2E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Look Where You Want to Go<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes that new scooter and bicycle riders make is staring at their front wheel or at obstacles they want to avoid. If you stare at something, you\u2019ll end up heading right toward it! This is a big mistake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always look where you want to go. If you are going into a turn, look to the exit so your scooter naturally follows. If you are going around a pothole, look at the part of the road you want to ride on, rather than staring at the big hole in the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuously scan the road ahead so you can be prepared to avoid obstacles, holes, pedestrians, or traffic. Staring straight down at your wheel means you won\u2019t see any oncoming danger, which could cause an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stay Relaxed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be able to control your scooter much better if you are relaxed. Tensing up and riding stiff will make the scooter feel jerky underneath you. Also, the more tense you are, the harder it is to steer and the more uncomfortable the ride will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, relax and let the scooter move freely beneath you as you lean to steer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are gripping the handlebars too hard, you may need to work on your balance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be Aware of Your Surroundings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always be aware of what is going on around you. Watch out for traffic, pedestrians, stop signs, and any other possible dangers that you would need to avoid. Listen for traffic behind you and watch for traffic in front of you, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Watch-out-for-traffic-and-other-scooters-when-you-ride.-Wikimedia-Commons..jpg\" alt=\"Watch out for traffic and other scooters when you ride Wikimedia Commons\" class=\"wp-image-5770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Watch-out-for-traffic-and-other-scooters-when-you-ride.-Wikimedia-Commons..jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Watch-out-for-traffic-and-other-scooters-when-you-ride.-Wikimedia-Commons.-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Watch-out-for-traffic-and-other-scooters-when-you-ride.-Wikimedia-Commons.-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Watch out for traffic and other scooters when you ride. <em>Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you practice, the better you\u2019ll be at riding your electric scooter. And the better you are, the more you\u2019ll enjoy it. Find safe places to practice, like empty parking lots, trails, or parks that are scooter-friendly. Practice at slow speeds as well as faster speeds, so you get used to all of the aspects of handling your electric scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Watch the Weather<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet roads can be slippery when it rains. You\u2019ll need to allow extra space for accelerating and stopping. Additionally, your battery may not last as long in extreme heat or cold, so you may want to avoid riding in any kind of extreme weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Handle Flat Tires<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hitting a pothole, a piece of glass or a nail could cause your tire to go flat. Some scooter tires are solid and will resist flats. However, these are not as comfortable to ride as an air tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, many scooter tires are tubeless. If you use sealant in your tire, you might get a flat and not even know it. The sealant inside the tire is meant to plug up small holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you get a large hole or get a hole in your tube, you\u2019ll need to do a little bit of work to get your scooter rolling again. Here\u2019s an example of how to change a flat tire on an electric scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Xiaomi M365  How To Tire \/ Tyre Replacement\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9c5oaCgBtVA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lock Your Scooter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going to leave your scooter in a public place, make sure you lock it to prevent theft.

Most people get the hang of riding a scooter quickly and easily. Always get to know your scooter and practice riding safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670934121457\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is it easier to ride an electric scooter or an e-bike?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For most people, it\u2019s easier to ride an electric scooter than an e-bike since it\u2019s easier to balance on a scooter. However, if you already know how to ride a bike, you\u2019ll be able to pick up on riding a scooter even more easily since many of the principles of steering and braking are the same.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670934136300\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is it legal to ride an electric scooter on the street?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on where you live. In some places, such as the UK, it is only legal to ride scooters on private property with the owner\u2019s permission. You\u2019ll need to check your local laws to find out what\u2019s legal where you live.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670934167833\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do you need to wear a helmet to ride an electric scooter?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Again, state and local laws will vary on this. However, it\u2019s good practice and common sense to always wear a helmet when you\u2019re riding a scooter. You\u2019ll also want to consider eye, knee, and elbow protection.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670934184509\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you commute to work on an electric scooter?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As long as the laws in your locale permit it, you can commute to work on an electric scooter.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670934220747\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does it take to charge an electric scooter?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Charging time varies greatly, depending on how large the battery is and how low the charge is. It can take anywhere from 4 to 20 hours to charge up your battery. For this reason, you may want to have a backup battery on hand.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670934251854\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I ride my scooter if the battery is dead?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, most scooters can be ridden even without the battery. You\u2019ll ride them just like a regular kick scooter.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1670934270233\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How fast can an electric scooter go?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Typical electric scooters can go anywhere from 15 to 25 mph for roughly 35 to 40 miles. However, there are a lot of variables that can affect this, including the size of the battery, the terrain, and even the weight of the rider and cargo. In addition, some scooters are made for speed, while others are made for hilly areas or urban commutes.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To ride an electric scooter, practice the basics such as standing, launching, and steering in a safe area away from cars.
