i'm new on the block as well. Welcome to the party... To really enjoy your scoot takes becoming familiar with the way it handles and responds. To ride safely, you need to know your acceleration limits and braking distance in relation to speed. Be aware of what is around you and what you will do next. Always be on the cautious side. Over confidence and careless acts are rider killers. I love to ride and enjoy greatly this forum.. Hope you will also...
