It is  a 2016, yes I found out it is the 'Metropolitain' in the US. Ok, so now I no longer have a Kymco, can I still post here ? :o

Since it is only a 50 cc I did not have to get licensed, they allowed me to take the course with the teenagers and they are all off now to write their exams and I get to practise running around  my quiet neighbourhood and empty parking lots.

I am riding so much better after my course and on a smaller scooter. Funny thing is I got used to putting my left foot down and this has been my go to when stopping. I am also finding it easier to manuever like putting on stand and backing up using my feet, it is so much lighter.

Got her on Wednesday she now has a whopping 30 kilometres

Woohoo ! Finished my scooter class last night....what a difference.Also labor day shopping mall parking lot was helpful :)

I have decided to trade in my scooter.I trained on a rukus and am more comfortable with both feet on the ground. I will be losing $ but thats ok for me ....I am getting a Honda Giorino (hope I spelled that right)

Scooter class was amazing.

Thanks again for the tips

Thanks for all the tips :)

I found a motorcycle school that gives Scooter lessons. Had my first class today. Breaking was better by the end of my lesson. Came home tried on my own and did so so on breaking.....I think I might need a shorter scooter, I think I get nervous at stops when it is time to put one foot down or go on my tippy toes.

I am thinking I will wait it out. I am taking 1 hour a week for 3 weeks. I will see how I feel after the 3 courses. I did like the scooter I trained on where both my feet were flat on the ground.

My scooter is brand new so I kinda don't want to trade it in yet.

I am enjoying this forum and enjoying learning to scoot.

Debbie ;)

Thanks Everyone ! Day 5, I have been out everyday. I am trying to find a course here in Quebec Canada similiar to what has been suggested on this site. Is it a motorcycle course that you have taken or a Scooter course ? So far all I have found here is a Scooter course designed to get a license if you do not already have a drivers license....I will continue to look.

Driving has been pretty good, still struggling with the stopping, I think I break too hard.

Left foot down, is working well for me, I am able to place my left foot just about flat when stopped....and I have not dropped my bike in 2 days LOL.

Thanks for the encouragement

Hi,

I am a new scooter rider. 49 years old and I just bought my first scooter kymco agility 50. Day 3.

I am discouraged. I dropped it today while stoped :(

Breaking and stopping is harder than riding!

It is fun when I get going but how long does it take to get the hang of riding?

Also I am 5ft 4 so both feet don't touch the ground, is this ok?

Debbie
