Update: I wanted to let you know I Rode My Scooter the 1st time bc of your Video Inspiration. Here is the Video I just Uploaded: ruclips.net/video/TZ2PSS5nDNE/видео.html Thanks Again for the Positive Inspiration!
Thank you. So helpful to know Darlene doesn’t know how to ride a bike. Same thing-parents didn’t let me learn. Very encouraging to know she was able to get started so quickly. Going to place my order tonight.
I don't know how to ride a bike as well! I'll be getting an electric scooter soon since we'll most likely be forced to report back to the office in a few weeks or months and I plan to use this on the daily since parking and gas expenses would be too much if I use our vehicle. Thank you so much for all the info you three have given in this video. It's been so helpful.
"I just didn't want to die" - best quote from new scooter rider :) Thanks guys for the video! I'm having my wife watch this trying to convince her to try it out!
THANK YOU for making my first ride a joy instead of a terror, Darlene, Jimmy, and Co. It really helped to know that she doesn't know how to ride a bike. After just a short ride I am ready to roll on the regular. Thanks again!
Interestingly, I taught my daughter how to ride a bike without training wheels 9 years ago while using a kick scooter (non-electric) to teach her the concept of balancing on 2 wheels -- once I put her on her bike (sans training wheels) she mastered it immediately as she understood the motion and steering principles while on the scooter. So, there's hope for Darlene, re: riding a bike, seeing how well she did on the e-scooters! :)
That's me ! That's me! I got a mega wheels a5, 4 weeks and 2 days ago! I had NEVER ridden a non electric scooter, never mind a escooter! So I bought one and a helmet! So far injuries are 2 skinned knees and 1 skinned elbows due to buying safety pads that were cheapish! After a month I feel confident enough to go into town centre, down a steep hill, under two railway bridges and through town centre to my chemist and back. These videos have helped me a lot ! Can u suggest quality safety pads !
After 7 weeks 6 days, I feel confident and don't go along screaming SORRY NEWBIE! Getting off at every hill, any pedestrians, narrowing pavement, bumpy pavement, any roads bisecting the path I am on ! I feel really confident but most importantly I have a quality helmet and pads
I love to always come back to this video over and over again...It's motivational from the both of you and big hits to Darlene for trying it out for the first time! (yeah I'm not the only one in this world with the same height and will be a first time scooter rider) Keep up the great work gentlemen! Continue being an inspiration Darlene. Such a great example of all around support!💜
Thanks so much for this! I've just bought a scooter and it's now charging. I have never stood on a scooter and to be honest, I'm a bit scared. I am waiting for helmet and other safety gear before I will start practicing. This video is incredibly useful. Thanks!
I been looking at a bunch of videos for e-scooters since I'm looking to buy one and learn how to ride and build the confidence to learn. This video gave me a bit more confidence to learn!
Darlene you gave me so much confidence because I also don't know how to ride a scooter. And no one to teach me. Watching you guys, I'm gonna teach myself how to do it. I've been putting it off for 2 months .... out of fear
I already know how to ride a bike decently, but the funny thing is that when I tried an e-scooter for the first time, I couldn't ride for a few meters forward!!! Finding this video is the main reason for me to learn how to ride a scooter. Thanks guys for this awesome video!
When I saw her get on the scooter I wondered if she knew how to ride a bike. Never seen someone struggle to balance on a scooter so I figured if she could barely balance on a scooter then she probably doesn't have the balance to ride a bike yet.
Kudos Darlene. Just like the previous version of you, I couldn't ride a bike or an electronic scooter. I'm originally from Ethiopia and I just moved to Italy to work (ironically, I design software for autonomous vehicles). I'm really thinking about buying an Electronic Scooter. I hope to find teachers like yours and pick up riding an electronic scooter as quickly as you did. Wish me luck
Great video, only other thing I would have told her is to always keep both hands on the handlebar. I experienced the death wobble and barely able to run it off, I was lucky and didn't face plant on asphalt haha.
Don’t know how to ride a bike but I was a scooter kid growing up. So I got an e scooter, took it around the block twice and immediately started taking it to work and home from work.
I heard about people having issues with cruise control on certain scooters. I don't think speed should be controlled strictly by an app. People will hack other people just to cause chaos and injury to others. Don't hurt Darlene. I want to she her with more safety gear on!
People should always start at 10mph but love you speak about breaking. I break rear at slow speeds cause of my accident. At fast speeds I tap rear or hold rear and tap front
Amazing video, I bought my first scooter and it comes tomorrow. Its not the best, its a Hiboy s2 pro but at $399 it was the best I could get at the moment. I just need it to go a mile to work and back instead of killing my car. I'm a lot less nervous about it after seeing how fast she picked it up.
Hi Jimmy. I enjoy your vids. I have a question, I bought a Pint X. I know a helmet is necessary. I see a lot of people on youtube don't bother with knee and elbow pads for casual riding. Do you think they are necessary or do you find them cumbersome? Agility wise.
Thanks for the tip on leaning backwards when you stop. That's really helpful and hopefully after I practice I'll have smoother stops. I wish you would have talked about turning 😂😂
My first electric scooter is the vsett 10 plus, I was actually planning to buy the Nami Burn-e first, but it was way too big to take with me in the car or put it in the hallway. the vsett is a super nice scooter, the only drawback is that you have to continuously tighten the handlebars where it fold. For the first few days I had to be careful not to mistake the throttle with the brakes because that was dangerous. The first day was mostly learning to brake while leaning back. Foot position and realizing that you have to keep both hands on the handlebars is important.
Oh there's one question I would love to know from Darlene though, because she got to try and feel the difference between the thumb throttle and the finger trigger. How did you feel using the finger trigger on the VSett? Assuming you might have small hands like I do, the stretch for the finger might be a hassle for me. Let me know please.
Why have I never been on an electric scooter? Because our government hasn't [YET] deemed them legal to own and ride - fingers crossed for the near-future.
It's NOT a toy, so charge it properly, store it properly, use it properly - think safety (get some practice in first - "No helmet? NO WAY"). Happy travels and ENJOY THE MOMENT!
If you guys do teach her to ride a bike, please don't start her off on an electric one. Its like giving someone the cheat codes to a brand new game, they're not going appreciate and learn the skills from the ground up.
Darlene is one beautiful woman woe love her eyes and smile hi miss Darlene hope we see more of you here way to go just beautiful ride safe miss have fun
She gave me so much hope at 5:13🎉

Congrats! 🎉
I recommend watching, Top 7 Riding Mistakes after it could save your life! 😊

You can do it!
How's it going for you?
Me too
I just got an escooter yesterday and about to ride one for the first time. Her attitude is so encouraging! ❤
You can do it!
Our brave lady is doing great, very confident.

Definitely more videos with Darlene! Planning to teach my wife, and she found it inspiring !

Yes because I would not be dealing with a hurt elbow and a semi hurt me if I had my elbow knee pads on.
I was never on an electric scooter until I bought a wide wheel pro , I love it and am now saving up for something faster after I get some experience

This is a life changing video.
Good video Jimmy, it was good to see a total beginner try and learn. I haven't ridden one yet because I am waiting to buy the right one
Don't forget to wear an nta helmet like xnito or bern hudson when you buy one, cpsc helmets don't really protect you

Seriously? I find bike much more difficult.
@protostelos2615 Could be, not sure, that depends and differs from one to one, I guess.
Best of luck to you!
I'm lost how you couldn't ride an e-scooter, was the ride not even and bumpy?
When I saw her get on the scooter I wondered if she knew how to ride a bike. Never seen someone struggle to balance on a scooter so I figured if she could barely balance on a scooter then she probably doesn't have the balance to ride a bike yet.
I find bikes easier
Cool tips, getting an escooter soon! More tips and more of Darlene riding an ebike👍
Soooo, I'm not the only one on this planet who doesn't know how to ride a bike? 😮
Same bro dw
Im 21, and i still don't 🙂
i physically cannot learn because my eyesight is so bad
Darling you're not alone 😂
I just got on one today. Fun
I would like more learning in turning ! Like making a sharp turn in avoidance mode ?
Jimmy and Andrew EScooter PHDs imparting some wisdom 🙌
Extremely helpful video! I now know the advantages of spending more and that's really important. Thank You!
Kudos Darlene. Just like the previous version of you, I couldn't ride a bike or an electronic scooter.

I hope to find teachers like yours and pick up riding an electronic scooter as quickly as you did. Wish me luck
Encouraging as well as informative. Thanks (team) for sharing. Shoutout to Darlene for being the perfect student.
Love to scooter/onewheel in Wash Park there. Nice to just cruise around there.
Great video, hope she had fun! 😎🖐
Great video, only other thing I would have told her is to always keep both hands on the handlebar. I experienced the death wobble and barely able to run it off, I was lucky and didn't face plant on asphalt haha.
I've had my electric scooter for 1 month. Despite the initial learning curve, it's not too hard to learn to ride one of these.
I says yes to her learning to ride a bike, but not an e-bike. Paddling is an important part of the skills
Don’t know how to ride a bike but I was a scooter kid growing up. So I got an e scooter, took it around the block twice and immediately started taking it to work and home from work.
Great video.
Thanks.
I Never rode a Scooter before.
I just got one.
I am scared to ride it too.
I don't want to fall.
You can do it!
I heard about people having issues with cruise control on certain scooters. I don't think speed should be controlled strictly by an app. People will hack other people just to cause chaos and injury to others. Don't hurt Darlene. I want to she her with more safety gear on!
you guys are awesome. thanks for another fab video :)
Thanks for watching!
The detail I got from this will make it where I will take on my first time today with less fear. Knowledge is power, yes.
People should always start at 10mph but love you speak about breaking. I break rear at slow speeds cause of my accident. At fast speeds I tap rear or hold rear and tap front

Me... TOMORROW!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, the VSETT 10 is great, but those handlebars need to be replaced!
I had the same issue with the bars and that was annoying so I changed the bars to a mountain bike bar….so much better now.
nice video...congrats Darlene.You're not only cute,but capable too...Have a nice rides on that nice VSETT 8+
I do enjoy these gentlemen videos, love the content would love to hear more on safety gear
My Left leg is inoperable due to an accident, so where should I put it? Front or Back?
Can we use these on uphill roads??
Yes, teach her how to ride the bike after she gets used to the speed from the scooter first.
Deal!
Oh there's one question I would love to know from Darlene though, because she got to try and feel the difference between the thumb throttle and the finger trigger. How did you feel using the finger trigger on the VSett? Assuming you might have small hands like I do, the stretch for the finger might be a hassle for me. Let me know please.
Attitude is not the only thing she has that's great
get that girl a bike
she is awesome.. great video
Darlene is super cool!
This video is so good
Do I have to press the accelerator all the way from the start, or is it little by little?? Same with the breaks? Please help 😅😅😅
How do you maintain your balance?
I like doing from the behind first.then the front.
thx to your channel I took the plunge and bought a onewheel :D could you recommend gloves for onewheel newbie? (I'm very scared about nosedives now)
About nosedives, if you don't push the board to its limits then you shouldn't have nosedives. Learn slow and safe
Thank you!
What was bro riding on at the end? He seems to have both hands and not on the handle of the (scooter)..
Thank you guys
Why have I never been on an electric scooter? Because our government hasn't [YET] deemed them legal to own and ride - fingers crossed for the near-future.
I still don't understand how people can ride those 1 wheel, hoverboards, or the old segway.
You have to keep your weight in the middle. Just like riding a bike.
She's pretty.
It is rare that you find people on electric scooters or other PEVs in my area.
Thank you for your video l have just got my self a McLaren pure scooter wish me luck 🤞
She kinda a baddie 👀
Cringe, gross.
At this point it's not even "kinda" lol. Pretty face, great legs, and toned midriff. She's very attractive imo
That's the point 😂
You have a wife
good on you Darling
Very nice videos!!!! Just want to ask where to buy nanrobot d6+ online
Thanks for the kind words. Here is the link to the US dealer: roadrunnerscooters.com/products/nanrobot-d6?ref=GotScooter
It's NOT a toy, so charge it properly, store it properly, use it properly - think safety (get some practice in first - "No helmet? NO WAY"). Happy travels and ENJOY THE MOMENT!
Jimmy, is the nine bot max I good unit to learn on?
Don’t worry, I didn’t know how to ride either. 😂 I just got it yesterday, except the charger doesn’t work
I have about onewheels should I get the pint or the pint X
Thank u so much i feel much more comfinet and not scared taht im gonna trip and hurt my self
SO GOOD!
Please do the dualtron compact
u can tell she is a "regular" rider. not goofy. she should put her left foot in front and kick to start with her right foot.
If you guys do teach her to ride a bike, please don't start her off on an electric one. Its like giving someone the cheat codes to a brand new game, they're not going appreciate and learn the skills from the ground up.
Thank you for making this vehicle. I just got a scooter and I'm trying to learn how to ride it.. 😂😂😂😂
She fine
Next teach her to read the surface for cracks and debris
I bought a Qhummer2 & taught my damn self....
She'll be chasing down bike thieves in no time lol
That would be a sweet video!
Do you need to know how to ride a bike to use this?
Don't you learn from chips your trainee is always on your right,so passing cars,bikes other electric scooter riders pass you other than your trainee.
Any lisence need?
Get her on an e bike!🎉❤
Juicy! I have a scooter Darlene can ride.
Are you from Nicaragua 🇳🇮
It's EUC time.
hi jimmy and andrew, whichever one of you is not married should marry that woman. she is very nice, also pretty.
Bike? Ok. But teach her to OW and then an EUC next. None of this casual stuff!
I have never ridden one because I can't afford one that is appropriate for a fat guy and those rental scooters suck.
Get that darlin some gloves
Get her ebike,let’s go
I’m sure she knows how to use it
Darlene is one beautiful woman woe love her eyes and smile hi miss Darlene hope we see more of you here way to go just beautiful ride safe miss have fun
He says don't ride around a lot of people, but then he talks about how good they are in big cities. Huh?
She is gorgeous 😍
I've ridden for 2 hours and I'm not as stable as she is. What's her secret?
Im 26. I cant balance myself..
She slides on hard wood? 🎉
4'7 I got u beat😂
