Be sure that the throttle and brake can work effectively.
This can make you gradually get a feel of riding the electric scooter correctly. And if you get started from a hill or uneven road, you may get injured.
Make sure that your e-scooter has enough battery life for practice.
Place one of your feet on the scooter's deck and lean forward. Make sure your feet are in place and then grip the handlebars with your hands. It's better to transfer your center of gravity to the back for balance.
This will make you keep your balance.
Please be slow to press the throttle until you have adapted to the speed. Different electric scooters on the market may have different throttles. Remember that don't press the throttle too hard or quickly, or you may lose control.
Rotate the handlebars steadily and this will make your e-scooter turn.
Use the brake to slow down. Be sure not to use it abruptly or you may fall off the scooter. Most of the electric scooters on the market have a front brake and back brake, and the back brake is designed to slow gradually.
Battery-powered kick scooters are different from other common scooters. They are difficult to get used to and if you press the throttle too hard or fast, you might lose your balance and fall off the electric scooter. Be slowly to twist the throttle and you will gradually get used to the speed.
Though the electric scooters look a bit small, many of them have powerful brake systems. If you pull on the brake too hard, you may lose control of your electric scooter. The right way is to gradually put the pressure on the wheel as you slow down.
Avoid turning the handlebar suddenly as it can make you lose control of your body and it is difficult to turn your body quickly. Remember that safety is the key to riding an electric scooter.
It depends on the type of electric scooter and you should know whether your electric scooter is suitable for rainy days or not. In general, most electric scooters on the market are safe to ride in light rain. For safety, do not ride it in heavy rain.
Though you should ride an electric scooter in warm weather, it can also be used in winter or cold weather. But you may find a drop in battery capacity.
On average, a person can learn how to ride an electric scooter within a few hours or a couple of days.
