I've looked at a bunch of scooter videos to help my wife learn how to ride and yours is the best of them! Nice job, especially with "look where you want to go" and throttle control.
+Bill Clawson thanks
i am watching this because i have a scooter and have no idea how to ride.
Yvonne DeVries same hahahah
It's actually very easy I rode a 250 for the first time today and I was off and riding in 5 mins
Its not a good tutorial, srsly
Yvonne DeVries geen rijbewijs dus hahaha
@@NINJUNK00 For real?
Got my first scooter today, drove up and down the driveway, I definitely need a parking lot to practice in, was not that confident riding it lol.
Yup no need to rush. With practice comes confidence, and with confidence comes SPEED!
haha! I'll stick to 50km for now but the rider that rode it home pushed it to 110km on the motorway :O
I got my scooter yesterday, i practiced for about half an hour and im comftrable riding it now.The only problem is that my growth spurt hasn't really started yet, so im shorter than my friends.Because im short it makes my ability to move the scooter around when its not turned on much harder.Man this thing is heavy!
GalaxyDreaming same here 😞
GalaxyDreaming you will probably get it pretty fast. I am 13 and have been riding it for about 2 months alone and it's prreety easy once you know how much to accelerate and which brake to use.
This is probably the best tutorial on scooty learning... Thanks a ton
thanks
i agree but your scooter is way big the vespa ones there the average moped size they're much easier to ride with on my opinion
I learned scooty watching this video, I used many techniques which were taught in here.
I didn't even know cycling, so it's a huge leap for me
Muhibur Rahman motorcycles are better tho
Chris Olivieri Why?
Great vid! You are saving lives here, teaching safe measures and giving confidence to new riders. Well done! Keep up!
I'm glad I chose yours to watch first. The comments tell me it's the best lol.
Now, to find a reverse and signal video
+Lavi Nia Sorry I forgot signals. You just push the lever to either side to activate. Then push it in to cancel. And to reverse, just practice walking backwards. lol. But really, just make sure your feet are on a stable surface because you'll be transferring weight side to side.

First off...great video and great scooter too. I also like that you wore protective gear and were very organized in your presentation.
One question that I have when it comes to backing up the scooter is this: it might depend on the particular situation, but do you do it with the motor on or the motor off? I've actually seen different opinions. There might not be one right answer, but how do you do it? (For example, I saw someone with a lot of RUclips instruction videos for beginners who said he prefers to back his bike (motorcycle) into a parking space so when he leaves he can more safely pull forward and not have to worry about backing into any cars. But on his motorcycle he has a neutral gear when he backs in; on a scooter there's really no neutral gear. So that's why I'm asking. Because in the process of pulling back on the handlebar you might accidentally pull back on the throttle and that wouldn't be so great.)
***** I usually ride front-first into a space and back up with the motor on so it can warm up a bit. I don't think I've ever accidentally given throttle when backing up. There should be a little play in the throttle that will help prevent that, but overall it's not likely bc you're pulling straight back on the handle, not rotating it.
Thanks.
So, you believe random people?
Hey thanks man I was nervous on driving a scooter next year but now you make it look easy :)
Awesome thorough how to for us rookies, appreciate the basics from start/stop/turning etc. #Salute
Thanks for the advice! I'm waiting my first scooter, it's a small electric one. It can reach max 45km/h, but now I'm happy I get it delivered at my house, and I don't have to drive it directly in the traffic from the dealer to my place. I'll definitely practice first at the supermarket that's 500m from my home 🙂
I don't have a scooter but still watching tutorials.LOL
A year late but same😂
@Master Of puppets 3 weeks late but same. Lol
@@hwdareu5848 5 months late but same
I want a scooter lol cars are scary
Best first-time scooter learning video I've seen. Thorough, and excellent explanations. Thanks a bunch!
Great video. I'm learning to ride a vespa, but this was very informative in case the scooter tour company in Italy gives me a different type of scooter!
So who else had just taken on a delivery job and don't know the first thing about scooters?
Lil' Boy is this a Spider-Man reference?
🙋
Lil' Boy I was thinking about this
This is me rn lol, i start work tomorrow as a delivery driver and dont actually have my own car, so ill have to use a scooter even tho ive never used one before. Am i screwed lol
Fuego just take it easy on the turns. the rest is pretty basic, like riding a bicycle. on rush orders tho, just practice leaning instead of turning the handle bars when making "safe" turns. Good luck out there!!
it really does look so simple. i can't wait
+Cal Cugedhion It's simple, but make sure you respect the weight of your scooter. Gotta put some effort at first.
Can't wait for buying and driving my scooter! This was very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks, really helped! I'm getting a moped for my 16th in a few months, this was a great video and helped me loads, thanks!
Thinking about getting one. I found this very helpful. Thank you.
Unfortunately Yamaha discontinued the Majesty so you'll have to find a used one.
Thanks for the great video!
Very informative and handy for first-timers and for basic common sense knowledge and safety.
Good job!
Peace ✌🙏
Helpful tips, will re watch when I bring the bike :) thanks for sharing
Best video on the internet for this topic! Thank a TON dude!!!
This is a great beginner's video, thanks for making and posting! I just bought a 2010 Kymco "Like 50" for getting around the city. Unfortunately I laid it down during my test drive and did some superficial damage but nothing structural, felt obligated to buy after that. But I'm looking forward to learning how to ride and enjoy this summer, and this video is a nice tutorial, thanks again!
They should have reminded you how to park it
Really really good video dude. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Barney hey dude u should search up KevSoLitty he rides scooters
Very helpful.Best tutorial I've ever whatched.Thank you!
I am buying a roughhouse 50 sport scooter today. It's been since 1982/83 since I owned a moped. I enjoyed watching the video. So, I am going to rediscover all that you shared. Thanks for the video. 🙄
Watching this video has boosted my confidence! Thanks!
Ashley Bolter Cool, good luck!
Thank you for the video, I'm about to purchase my first scooter and am pretty nervous and excited! This helped a lot. :)
Naokijt did you get your scooter
@@fatbeefjerky 1 year later and no reply f
Cubix Man ik 😔
I am from the UK, I just did my CBT test today. Thankfully I passed. It was my first time ever using a mopeds! I was absolutely terrified, but glad I did it. I need to practice more though! That's video really helped me to recap on the training that I was given. Thank you.
Happy to help
Thanks!! This video really help!!! Keep up the good work!
ty man taught me a lot I just might get one now
217 dislikes? NO WAY! Great vid on learning how to ride a scooter.
This was really detailed and informative - you're a great teacher. Thank you so much!
welcome
Great job. I have a hard time getting my mind set on riding this alone...without you!!!
Thinking about getting a scooter recently. your videos are a huge help in my research. Keep them coming. Perhaps more in depth topics like your gear or locks, insurance, safety, accidents, rain, scooter maintenance. I would really like to see how to fuel up a scooter and change oil etc.
UnboxSurge Thanks for watching, I have made a video on the wheel lock i use and a safety video here ruclips.net/video/Cj5PBMzy74g/видео.html
Great! thanks.
I cannot wait to ride one.superb video
Good tutorial. When teaching people or letting them ride my scoots, if they are a noob, I always reinforce, maybe three of four times where the brakes are. The first time I rode a motorcycle (with clutch, etc.), I wasn't told where the brake was and ended up crashing into a fence...whisky throttled it when I started panicking. Lol! Always know where the brakes are!
Done that lol
THANK YOU!! Without a doubt, THE BEST tutorial I've watched! 👊
Thanks, and youre welcome
This helped me a lot, I plan on getting my motorbike license and I want to get a scooter like yours. I've never ridden a bike before so I was a bit hesitant at first but a lot of people I know that ride bikes/scooters tell me once you get the hang of it its a very enjoyable experience being part of the two wheel club lol.
Thanks for your help man I practice yesterday at church parking lot for 20 minutes to get used to it
Gates KOORBA Nice!
Awesome! You will eventually get used to the weight I think. I actually dropped my bike the very first day because it was so heavy, but now I can throw it around easily.
Wow!... i'm going for a scooter test this afternoon and i haven't rode one before ever!.. So, i'm a bit scared, but your video has helped me much! Thanks a lot!!! ;)
Thanks for the video im after getting a 50 cc in a few month for my first bike and i think its going to help me alot Thanks for the great video tutorial man
I like mopeds. I would like to get one and use mine for mainly grocery runs. I would go about 4 miles round trip every week. less wear and tear on my car, and I can fill it up with a gallon of gas mixed with 2 stroke oil and have it last a while.
Where is fuse box? 2008 flyscooter
very good video! thanks bro.
Thank you're welcome.
Thank you I’m planing on getting me a scooter this vid will help me a lot.
You have boosted my confidence now , I will try as soon as my broken ankle heals.
scooters are fun man.
C.C's Channel hey man look up KevSoLitty he rides his scooter
yea i have one
@@dxd1720 50cc mopeds are better
Getting my first sliverwing 600 in a week , thanks for doing these tutorials they really helping alot. Not sure if you talk about weight distribution when you are riding with a passenger if you could give some pointers on that I be thankful. ✌🏽
Welcome. Just remind them that this thing is on two wheels so no sudden side to side movements. The bike will feel a lot heavier so brake earlier and smoother and be ready to brace stronger on your leg when you lean at a stop.
@@bench175 hey thanks for the advice, so I had my first session today the bike was heavy but I felt comfortable on it especially going straight forward. I was having trouble turning around without putting my feet down, do you have any suggestions. Should I give it more gas while I'm turning or should I kinda just coast and turn. If that makes sense? Thanks again for the advice✌🏽
@@terryharris2805 I try to keep constant speed in turn. Sometime I let my foot hand down, so whatever helps you balance.
Thanks for uploading this vid man, really helps for a noob like me
This was great thank you. I was shaking the first time lol and I almost crashed into a parked car so you're definitely right about needing to look where your going.
Cool. Welcome!
Yeah, I'll try to make it tomorrow.
Great videos! I am approaching my 70th BD and have decided to downsize a bit. I've owned over 25 motorcycles including many Yamaha's. I love Yamaha for their quality and fit and finish. After several hundred thousand miles moving to a Majesty should be pure fun! I'm currently riding a 2012 Harley Dyna Switchback and Its getting a bit heavy and bulky so I traded it to my local Yamaha dealer for a 2014 Majesty 400. I'm planning on fitting a Shad SH39 Top Case, a taller Cee Bailey W/S, a 12V outlet in the glovebox and under the rear seat. I might throw on a pair of Pirelli Diablo tires as well. Thanks again for the informative videos! Ace
***** That's impressive. I hope I still have the guts to ride at that age :)
bench175 You will my friend, Now I've had 4 wives over the years too. You might not want to try and top that!
No wives so far but one serious girlfriend for 8 years.
This is so so helpful, probably the most helpful video I have seen tbh!! I’ve got my test next month I’m so nervous but this has really helped my nerves thank you!! :)
Cool good luck
Great instructional, thank you for posting
Hey man im buying a scooter in spring im so exited :D
and what scooter u buy?
B A D V I B E S / me too excited about getting my scooter 🛵 it’s going to be red and some black . I rode a moped years ago when I was like 17 and hoping I still remember and I think I will when I get on it. ( been looking at a lot of how to videos) 😋👍
I'm watching this because I plan on riding one in my trip to Asia next year
Good luck, have fun
It seem simple stuff but the pov gives u a nice feel and I can't wait to be driving. great vid!
Thanks.
Thank you for this informational video! I knew a lot of what you said already cause I've rode before .. so this was really understandable. Thanks a lot!
welcome
If you have really good body-control / balance and you're at least 5'7", a 650 could work as a first bike.
Omg I’m so scared I’m a freshman finally getting one to drive to school and all the roads are so busy on the way there 😬
i have a question!! don’t you need like a motorcycle license or whatever to ride a bike and don’t you have to be a certain age... i’m assuming you’re 16 ..... and did u get one? if so how was it ??
OPPA SARANGHAE lol that’s funny i never got one, i was super excited cuz i thought i was going to, but i had to wait until i was 16 to get my license then i got a car. but i’m pretty sure depending on the state you can get a license to drive a moped, not positive but do your research :D
NIce Job - I am 51 hands lots of toy. I just bought this vehicle to bring along camping and train my boys how to ride, your video helped me think of things I would not have said. So thanks.
Thank you, very useful video...
Starting to ride.... with ur instructions...
thank you so much
Nice video man! Can't wait until I will have my driving lessons and get on a scooter myself. Unfortunately I'll have to wait 4 years.. (I'm 12 y/o xd)
Im 14 and im alrady driving it.
2 more years and atm im 14 and i drive one 😂
Dude, was this filmed in Modesto Ca?
Cause that scenery looks completely familiar
NOOO....yes
I thought I recognized that school and that road at the end
Awesome, it's a great road for drifting
Thank you for this video! I am very grateful for your guidance and good instructions
welcome
Nice video dude! Just purchased my scooter today. Gonna need a lot of practice. Thanks for the tips!😊😊😊
Nice! I want a scooter now! Anyone want to donate one to me?
Wth this doesn't look like a scooter... It looks like a motorcycle
technachly its a moepead but its more of a scioter
+frost mages ftw I know but I have a mod (Razor Pocket Mod) and it kind of looks like a motorcycle too. I'm the neighborhood fashionista lol
+Katniss Everdeen💘🎯 lol
You did an amazing job explaining everything you would make s great teacher. I was wondering if you could make a video on counter steering because you explain everything so well
Honestly, countersteering is something you don't even think about when you ride. Even on a bicycle, you do it automatically.
Thank you!! That was very helpful.
Thank U with all my heart. Gave me a first timer the almost over my fears feelings. Ur AWESOME.........
welcome
Thanks mate! You were very cool & down to earth! 🙏🏻👍
Thanks
This was excellent! Key point, you will go where you are looking.
Cool thanks
THANKS FOR POSTING! This was a really good tutorial.
thx
I love your video, I will practice and your help is a beautiful thing.
Thank you this was a very helpful video! 😊
Thank you for this!! I’m thinking about getting a scooter cuz it’s gonna take me years to save up for a car license and a car and I think this would help me getting more out!!
But I’m very nervous about it! This made me feel more safe and comfortable about the thought :)
Very helpful. Thank you!
Great advice bro, thanks. You are touching on the basics that most people would gloss over... Bravo👌
thanks and happy to help
thanks great vid..im looking at the same bike tomorrow!
Great video! Very helpful.
Thanks. I added a note. Yes, I always get on before I take off the side stand.
Excellent, I am a 40+ car and bus driver in the uk, I have never used a road bike or scooter. I have my UK CBT tomorrow and this video is a dam good help, thnx
Welcome.
thanks, bro . this helps a lot. do more videos like this, please
I'll be trying to do it by myself tomorrow. This is gonna be a big help. 😍
Thank you so much for this!!! I feel excited for my scooter 😁
welcome
Thanks for the tips just starting riding my first scooter
welcome
Great advice for new people ! I just bought one drove it 400km home first time love it although I've been driving motorcycles for 50 years great video!
Thanks
absolutely love that scooter you're using. i want that same exact model for my next scoot !
Its a great one. But if you don't need a large high storage scooter, I'd get a smaller lighter one
I could not start my moped today, thanks to your video, I drove exactly 40 miles on my first fide !
Great instruction! Thank you Bench 175!!
Damn bro your is the man son i just got mine a month ago and have not touch it since i bump into a friend of mine and he roads me home for me on it.....this vid gives me Courage to Ride my bike.No, I'm going to try everything.You said maybe tomorrow and look at this again to boost my confidence before I Ride it
Good instructions !! Well done!
thanks
This was very helpful. Thanks.
:) Thanks a lot man great video keep doing what you're doing
Great beginner video! Saved!
Thank you for the Great tips..!
i got mine today and forgot how to start. thank you for the video!! ;)
Sweet memories I've watched this on early 2016 when I know nothing about riding a bike. Started from moped(2016) now 2017 I ride sportbike. 👍
Nice
Something to mote about the Silver Wing brakes is that the front and rear brakes are actually linked so that the left hand lever actuated both. Initially the rear brake is applied then after a slight delay the front brake is applied. The right hand lever operates only the front brake. So for emergency braking both levers can be used for maximum braking. The trick is not to squeeze too tightly all of a sudden but to gradually apply pressure. Of course ABS (which is an option on early models) helps to prevent the tires from skidding under hard braking. Thx for the vid.
Thanks for info
Gotta love this advice, this info is going to be very helpful since I'm going to be riding a similar vehicle tomorrow (with no prior experience other than on 20mph escooters).
Cool good luck
@@bench175 Thanks bro. All jokes aside, I'll need it. :)
countersteer is to slightly turn the bike opposite of the turn direction (slightly) to pitch the bike the direction of the turn then turn that direction. It really helps in turns, it put the bike in a leaning position.
