While I ride my scooter, I used the rear brake much more than the front because the front could easily lock and you can flip over. The rear, for me, was used to slow me down and when I was slow enough, I applied my front brakes.

This is an old video but still giving away good information. Thank you sir. I wish you good health and happiness. Happy riding. 🙏❤️

Learning how to Brake properly is a critical skill, esp for 2 wheelers! Very nicely done Ken... Your learning to drive videos are awesome!

Having just completed the Vicroads 2 day Motorcycle Learner training today, this video totally confirms what I was taught and in a similar clear and logical manner. Now the fun starts to apply it to everyday riding.

Thanks for these videos, I did my CBT, but a few weeks in I wanted to just check a few things to make sure I was driving safely- these videos have really helped me feel more confident.

The only one video explaning it decently, thanks!!

Very clear instructions, thanks!

Hi Ken and greetings from germany. I'm getting my first ever 50ccm (limited to 45 Km/h) scooter today, and your videos are really helpful. Watching your videos, i really feel like i understand what you're trying to tell us. So many confusing websites and so many different opinions on some topics. Especially how to break the right way seems to be controversial, if you ask google and browse through forums.

love all your videos.. I've only been riding a scooter since January this year, i've never ever been on a bike before apart from a pushbike. Hadn't been on the scooter in around 10 weeks and watched your video on cornering last Wednesday and then with my husband went out on Saturday for a lovely day of riding.. my confidence before this ride was a little down as it had been so long since i had been out on the scooter, but after watching your videos my confidence is coming back.. I will be watching them all over and over so that when I go to sit the 'P' test i will be able to do this with ease.. I live in Tassie and really wish that there was a scooter club or something down here.. Do you have a 'P' test video as I am unable to find one, but do know what is involved with it so I will be out practicing over the next few months.. thanks again, and happy riding!! ;)

Very educative and informative. I should have watched this video before a crash some days ago!

what to do when takes some practice,lots of good information,love your videos ,probably never get to put them to use though,Disabled,but gives me a positive attitude ,thanks .

Thank you for this!

Great Video. Great Instructor.

@Mautaz Front brake locks up a lot harder than the rear brake, due to weight being transferred to the front wheel. Never slam on the brakes, apply them smoothly. With good tyres and normal road conditions you would probably flip your scooter before your front wheel loses grip.

Nice Tutorial thanks 🙏 from Mexico 🇲🇽

Hi everyone, thanks for your comments, all steering on any two wheel vehicle involves counter steering which can seem a bit daunting but in its most basic form is as simple as applying a small amount of pressure on the hand grip that you are turning towards, ie, to go left apply forward pressure to your left hand grip, this will make your scoot lean to the left and therefore go left. Dont think about it to much just give it a go. Any time you turn a scooter you are counter steering !

Very informative . Thank you !

Wow loved it ! Thank you !!

Thanks! Just discovered today that my back brake didn’t stop the scooter entirely and that I could still steer. Thought it was broken!

Was looking for breaking in a scooter engine, but always good to watch good braking tips!

Thank u for your video

good video, thanks

Thanks had scooter a good few years back and i used both at same time. It caused bike to skid one day now i realise you use front then back

Love the jacket

Thanks so much

How many American girls have fallen victim to that accent and moustache...LoL You rock!

Great video bro

Keep it up bro

My scooter (Honda Aviator) has cbs it's really good

thank you

Excellent

Hello! Thank you for your video, it really helps but I just want to ask a question about how to do a break safely if there is a humps? Hope you can help me sir

this guy is good!

Good video

For the none ABS. When applying 1st, front brake or rear brake, whick one can u manage to control, front lock/skid or rear lock/skid?

Thanks for video. A few points and a question, please. Point #1: There is a tiny switch that is engaged when lever is first pulled that activates the BRAKE light on the rear of the bike. I find that pumping the handle just a tiny bit is sufficient to BLINK the brake light and it also primes/engages the master cylinder so that pressure is "ready" to apply to brake calipers. Tiny soft but fast-repeated taps works best, IMHO. Point #2 Bikes that have DISK (usually front) and DRUM (usually rear), unless there is traction/safety issue, using the DISK Not (not the drum) produces better braking results. QUESTION: Now that many modern scooters have LINKED brakes (CBS) and Anti Lock Systems (ABS), is there any special advice on braking techniques using these systems? Thanks!

Can you make a video about safe breaking on rainy wet hills..

Still trying to get better and if I do Im getting a big burgman scooter and Im going to ride and never stop.

What model of Honda is this?the vision ?

i find you are the only one giving details on hand grips on throttle and brake i bought a 2nd e-scooter and crashed 3 times not knowing how to reverse out of parking space and having hand on both throttle and brake lost control. there is no licence or insurance requirement for e-scooter, here in Vancouver Canada. help.

Hi. Why my scooter switch off when it's wet?

If using the front brake makes the rear lighter, shouldn't the rear brake be applied first and only then the front brake? Not only to prevent uneven weight distribution but also to prevent from going head first over your bike? Great videos by the way.

So are we supposed to use the front and rear brakes equally but start with the front first? Also, can you please tell me how to brake going down a hill?

I have Yamaha aerox 155. Manufacturer company recommended 33 rear 29 psi and it's kinda slippery and hard to bangking on corner, what's the perfect psi for cornering? My wheel size is 140 in rear 110 front. 26,25 psi is good, what can you recommend? :)

Nice bro

Ok awesome

Also what should be addressed when using the front brake be careful of the throttle, I have seen people, especially in an emergency when they panic, squeeze hard on the front brake while twisting the throttle by mistake, this inevitably makes the bike unstable or slows deceleration prompting them to tighten their death grip even more, can lead to a nasty accident, really I think that this kind of accident in inexperienced riders could be avoided by locking out the throttle when front brake is applied, you shouldn't really be using both at the same time.

Hmmmmm. lov my mo, thanks dude

I actually learn a lot from your video's guys but i'm just actually Canadian so how can I do exactly what you guys want me do in these situations in these videos here in Canada guys

Lean into the corner rather than just turning the wheel.

sweet mo

What's your scooter?

Help me.. I have just started learning scooty ride.. I have a problem that i feel scooty is too heavy for me and when i use to break then it comes down left side and i forget to leave the excelerator...

how to use brakes in bad downhill roads...please !

Does anyone else have the problem when you are tAking a left turn, the kickstand hits the ground a bit? How do you fix it? Thank you

I agree with you totally if it was a bike.. But your advice for scooter riders is dangerous in my opinion. Depends on the particular scooter, the weight could be biased heavily towards the rear.. Applying hard front brake is headed for disaster.. Especially in the wet.. I've ridden a huge range of bikes raced and trained riders over a 40 year period.. Scooters are not one size fits all re braking.. Also emergency stops should always be taught alongside brake modulation.... Just my thoughts.. None the less, congrats on doing your part in helping safety

that's beyond the speedlimit in denmark lol.

Are you sure I should use the front brake at high speed?? When I do that on a pedal bike I come flying off.

So am I to understand that "trail breaking" is not to be done on a scooter only motorcycle in corners? I'm not sure if the term "tail breaking" is exclusively a American colloquialism.

I bet guy can wrestle a croc and win

i used front brake twice in life and feel down

what kind of helmet is that?

Sir, I want to know more abt breaking becoz I am a new rider for scooter

The scooty look like honda aviator

i know this video is old and all but "never front brake in a turn?" what? i use it all the time, it's called trail braking.

yamaha has the best scooters
