Keep hitting kick stand in left hand corners
« on: August 10, 2015, 03:30:57 PM »
Does anyone make a low profile kickstand for the People?  I've hit the kick stand in left hand corners a few times now and the last time it kicked the scooter out to the right and I ran up onto the sidewalk.  Was glad there were no cars parked.  I'd just take it off but I need it to fit it into the small space I have for it in my garage.

I don't really like the double stand so I'm just being less aggressive

I hit kick stand once going through turn because of bump.  No consequences, but slowed me down, I didn't like the feeling.  Also, done a few slides going through turns after hitting an unexpected slick spot.  After doing a few of those, I am more cautious now.  Cheers
1st and 2nd usually have an unfair advantage.  3rd is usually the best, can learn the most from.  paraphrased from Don Quixote, over 400 years ago, still true today
