These videos are great mate, thank you. I'm considering buying a motorbike (Vespa) but I've never ridden one before. I can drive a car, but worried about getting on a motorbike. I'm less worried now thanks to you.
As a beginner scooter rider, I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I was very disappointed when you didn’t cover cornering in any of them as this is an area in which I struggle. Will you be publishing a video on turns an corners soon? Thanks!
Word of warning: after watching this video, I went to do some acceleration and breaking drills. Alternating between back, front and both breaks, I gradually increased my speed and distance to get out of my comfort zone. I crashed when trying just the front break. So a caveat would have been useful to a noob like me. I got some road rash.
Oh no - so sorry to hear! In my experience as a trainer... many problems occur when beginners grabbing that front brake (in other words "you are not alone").
So I use the break similarly like I would use a clutch? I learned how to ride clutch and now I got a big 200kg schooter, and my trottle is jerky and I don't have a clutch to smooth it out. I should do it with the break? It does makes sense....🤔
Yes indeed... only problem is when you stuck in traffic, it is stinking hot, you're wearing protective clothing & you are breathing in fumes. Other than that is fun!
Rear brake for controlling the bike (turns, steading, take off, slowing down, etc.) and then both when I actually want to stop or I need to slow down swiftly.
Riding with a reasonably heavy pillion, especially for a short rider like me I find it quite challenging to stop & move off, I sometimes trip when I stop, guess I gotta go to a gym

Hi - thanks for your kind words. I plan to do more videos as soon as a have a spare weekend (and my cameraman is also free).
Yes and I am very curious about what a ‘throttle’ is!
@@MAYK1NG The throttle is the accelerator, your right-hand handle in this case

Small bike culture out in SE Asia looks amazing. I suppose the warmth makes the difference.
Yes indeed... only problem is when you stuck in traffic, it is stinking hot, you're wearing protective clothing & you are breathing in fumes. Other than that is fun!
@@ianwatsons Yeah, the fumes here are surprisingly overlooked by people.
very helpful friend
Glad to hear that
Which brake should be my go too brake? And what % of each of both??
Rear brake for controlling the bike (turns, steading, take off, slowing down, etc.) and then both when I actually want to stop or I need to slow down swiftly.
@@ianwatsons thanks.
@@ianwatsons Excellent 👌🏼
Is there counter steering in scooters too?
Thanks
can the throttle and brakes in slow speeds effective in combi brakes?
Goooood
Cool ass bike.
Didn't know they drive on the left side in Thailand.
Riding with a reasonably heavy pillion, especially for a short rider like me I find it quite challenging to stop & move off, I sometimes trip when I stop, guess I gotta go to a gym
I understand. Another option... get a bike with a bigger engine.
Isn't it mandatory to just rear brake more than front
Rear brake is the go-to-brake.
Can you tell me your scooter name?
primavera 150cc --- it's great for a busy busy city (I live in Bangkok).
