    Hello from Trujillo Perú.
    Walker mode on Google Maps shows altitude.
    Lifting 1kg 1m takes 9.8 Joules of energy.
    1wh=3600j
    It's very important to calculate energy consumption. Going up hill 10k can use as much battery as riding 50k on the flat.
    Reduce your centre of gravity.
    Put your extra battery between your legs, not on the back of your scooter.

  • @Gobbbbb
    @Gobbbbb 8 дней назад +3

    Stop grabbing that front brake while turning! If you want to use it, be gentle with it and progressively squeeze it. Grabbing a handful will throw you off 99% of the time, even in a straight line. Progressive braking is key to load up the front tyre.

      @fetchstixRHD 6 дней назад +1

      It may be that the L plates are just from the fact that he bought it with them, and that he has a full licence that covers the scooter*, to be fair...
      (* not "moped", as its top speed is higher than 45km/h [28mile/h] - there was a point I would have made that France seems to have a rule that allows you to "ride" the 45km/h Citoren Ami's without a licence and at an age of 14, but irrelevant...)

    Another shout for Komoot for planning your route. Glad you worked out that putting it on the centre stand whilst stood next to it is the way forward. Lastly if you drop it again face away from the bike and use your legs to lift it up a little at a time is much easier.
