Kick start is less convinient but it also saves alot of battery since the motor doesn't have to start from 0. I find it best to turn the kick start option off but actually kick start anyway.

Could be safer for high power scooters too so you don't accidently whiskey throttle it in your living room while showing it off.

Lucky all of us since most scooters can be folded up. Stores really cannot say much, since there rules extends to bikes, but it won't hurt to call ahead an ask the property/store/restaurant owner.

For kick to start, i keep it on after i was leaning on my mantis talking to my friend and i accidentally hit him by touching the throttle. It was like he had just been hit by mike Tyson. I would recommend keeping kick to start on on powerful scooters to prevent winding your friends.

Great Video but in your next video I think it would be good to mention that you should have your break pulled in just enough so that it is not activated. This is a common practice that moped and motorcycle riders practice and some of these scooters can reach similar speeds to some mopeds so I think this valuable information

Im getting closer and closer at getting my very first scooter! im counting days right now, but soon im starting to count hours. What is the first 3 things you recommend me do when I get it?? or how about 3 important things and 3 optional fun things? It's just torture knowing im still waiting.I live on a mountain top without a car, and the last bus ends at 6:40pm, so visiting friends that lives miles away have been close to impossible without a lift, not to mention grocery shopping is a living nightmare , but soon i can finally have a life again. im gritting sparks from my teeth in excitement!

Always get a helmet. If you're getting a fast scooter 20+mph get a full face helmet. Next get elbow, knee pads, gloves etc unless you want to buy an armored vest which motorcycle riders use. Next I would suggest a headlight + safety vest if you ride at night. I commented since he didnt but maybe he will too :D good luck!

Hello i get an ECU sign on my display and it wont accelerate. I drove when it rained quite a lot and this is probably why. I looked up ECU and found out its to do with the control unit. So is it just a case of buying a new one of those? And is there specific types for specific models of scooters or does it not matter which one you buy? Or what can i do? Would appreciate any help.

Hi there, i know this is an old comment but i have the same misgivings before my scooter arrives in a few weeks. Here's what i've learnt. My uncle swears by tube tyres for comfort and safety. KZfaqrs don't seem to talk about it as much as i think they should, but the tyre slime pre-emptively put into the tyres will basically save you from punctures for the life of the tyre apart from obviously the tube being damaged beyond repair.

Hey RK9 & fellow subscribers. I’m new to the electric scooter world and my very first scooter is due to ship out today (Apollo Explore). I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!!!! I live in nyc and will be using the scooter quite a bit. Nyc is extremely noisy so I wanted to get a good quality horn that can warn pedestrians and vehicles. I couldn’t find much info online on a good horn I can purchase within the US. Can anyone recommend a certain brand, style, etc? Thanks in advance!!!

No drivers license required that's one of the main purposes to own a scooter. Police strongly prohibit people riding electric scooters on the interstate due to dangers involved, plus your scooter isn't fast enough nor stable enough to go over bumps at 60+ mph. And you don’t wanna ride in the shoulder lane cause too much debris (nails, broken glass, etc) causing flats.
