    Nice to see someone taking security and safety seriously, especially having spent so much on a scooter :)
    In my opinion if you’re going over 40-50km/h you should be wearing a lightweight motorcycle helmet instead, they do exist, they’re just not cheap. They do however provide a different kind of safety.

    First off, I am NOT negating or arguing ANY point in this video. I am merely sharing my experiences so far with my particular scooter.
    The Emove Cruiser has an optional storage box that mounts over the rear wheel, which I bought, and it holds the multi-tool and charger with room for a hammock or windbreaker or rain jacket or whatever third item I feel I need for that day. Few scooters have this option so I guess I'm just bragging, mostly wanted to point it out.
    As for headlights, there are many that come with their own rubbery type of mounting band that can attach to nearly any spare part of the handlebars. My scooter had basically ZERO real estate left in the cockpit, directly out of the box, so I mounted one of these with no extender necessary; maybe you can as well. As for the phone, I find that the audible verbal prompts from the mapping app work just as well on complicated winding bike trails as much as they do in a car on the road so I just leave my phone in my pocket where that expensive thing belongs.
    Last, but not least, I found a cable lock with a built in alarm; key fob and all, just like a car's alarm. Able to be cut for sure, with the proper tool, but the alarm scares people and draws the eyes of any other people nearby and thieves do not like eyes on them so they tend to bail. I've actually seen it happen on my scooter twice now and they both literally ran away.
    Anyway, those are my thoughts I felt the need to share but, if you have little knowledge of such things, PLEASE follow ALL advice in this video.

    It's the law in Florida to have eye protection, but it's also common sense. I can't think of any reason to look at a phone while scooting, but I'm an old man. And as far as security goes, I always keep my scooter with me wherever I go. Good video though, but I love the simplicity of just riding. I always bring my backpack, so I need something I can put it in there. A multi tool, bottle of water, etc.
    Nobody ever mentions a rear view mirror, which I find essential. Thanks for the vid!

    I would 100% recommend wearing a full face helmet when you're going at 17-20 mph. I recently gotten into an accident on my shooter and fell face first 18 mph on the pavement, luckily i had a full face helmet on so i was fine, am sure i would have a dislocated jaw or become unconscious. 17-20 mph is pretty fast so be careful

    Just a quick suggestion and it’s probably overkill. Got a motorcycle brake alarm that should help prevent unwanted theft. It’ll surely make a lot of noise before someone actually is able to steal your Mantis. Just a suggestion though. But i want that Mantis so bad. Where did you purchase yours. Thanks!

  • @laurenarndt464

    I recommend knee pads. If you go down your knees will likely be involved in making contact with the pavement. I would never recommend a cell phone holder. If you crash, your phone may cost as much as your scooter. Plus, cell phones are a distraction. I recommend a small digital clock for those who commute. I don't recommend riding in the dark, ever! Daytime driving is dangerous enough.

    I carry a small, electric pump and for my front wheel, an extra innertube. (The back wheel's innertube is probably too hard to change). Also, a small adjustable wrench, a small flashlight, a plastic bag, and a small insulated lunch bag, that I carry water and an icebag, to be able to get frozen or refrigerated store items. And I also carry a pen, a cheap camera, and back LED light, that I have running at all times (except when parked).

    To think this 4 year old video still holds up to the standards of today. I’ve had my scooter for a month now. I’ve put about 500+ miles on it with no issues. Just got a few accessories for it (rear mount, extra tail lights, mirror and a phone mount. Definitely need to invest into a pump and the slime 🫡 no flats yet but I’d rather have and not need than need and not have it 😅 kinda want blinkers on it but can’t find anything worth buying.

    I got everything on the list, I will say tho, By the time i put my charger, I carry charger most the time, Too give it another boost if i can where i stop, Most cafe's will let you have a charge if you ask nice enough, I usually offer a few quid, But they often say don't worry, So i give it too a charity jar, But yeah by the time i put my D lock an chain, With a bottle of juice in my bag as well as the odd little tools, My bag weighs more than my scooter, lol, I got take my scooter up an down 3 flights of stairs, So a heavy back pack don't help at all, But i do take a few important supplies like pump, Puncture repair kit, Tools, An charger, I am saving up for a Kaboo Wolf Warrior, I heard Dualtron got a new line up for 2020, Just come out, Might even buy that new Duatron with the suspension thing on the stem, I think it called the ultimate or something, Only just heard about it, I will be checking them out tho, It's crap here in the UK, Law's on top of Law's, People moaning in the UK saying they too fast, Pisses me off, Its the person riding the scooter not the scooter riding the person, I got body Armour, One thing you never mentioned, I think is important, I had a crash at 30 mph an it sucked, But if i never had body armour on an a full face MTB helmet, I would of been in hospital with a broken shoulder an cracked skull, Learnt my lesson i can tell you that, Coz it sucked, But now i had a few little falls, I know how much i can push my scooter an not fall off, Made me a better rider ironically, Fastest i have had was 46 mph, with help from a little hill, An it the best fun i had since i was a teenager, Lets just say since i have had my scooter i ain't got on a bus, An after 6 months of carrying it up an down my steps, An all the off road i done my arms are getting bigger, My gut's getting flatter, So it a miss conception these scooters are lazy, Do an hour off road at high speed, Then tel me they for lazy people, PEV transport is the future, I am gutted the UK is not embracing Electric scooters like every other country, Meant too be some 250 watt limit being introduced, Fuck using a 250 watt scooter, lol, Insult too an adults integrity, The police already pulled me on my scooter, But they was OK, I had all the gear on, Go pro on my helmet, 2, 5000 lumin's lights, An 2 Hero beams, A bunch of red flashing light's, Even the police pointed out it is nice too see, Most people only got one, They told me too stay off the roads, They was actually Kool as fuck, But yeah PEV transport is the future of travel, An infrastructure needs too be made for this type of transport, We got nothing in the UK, Hardly any bike lanes, Like i said the UK is 20 years behind most countries at the moment, Taken over by Brexshit, Falling behind, UK needs too wake up......

    I would add turn signals and side mirrors to the essentials list. After all, most of us are riding with cars at some point and we should be communicating and safeguarding ourselves

      You shouldn't need them below 25mph honestly. The wind pressure isn't very high until you get into the 30-40mph range. If you ride in a lot of dusty or wooded areas with a lot of insects they might still be welcome though.

    You're riding all by yourself, sometimes way out in the countryside, in a state park or whatever. You are on a scooter that costs between $500 and $3,000. No one walks around with that kind of money but you are actually doing just that. They can't car jack you easily (can't get in) and it's hard to steal your motorcycle (one twist of the throttle and you're 200 yards away, ) but guess what? Any 2 guys can probably just push you as you roll by and then they grab your scooter and you're out $3,000. So, if you plan to ride away from normal city streets, bring a weapon. Don't be that guy who has to cry that some guys stole your scooter right out from under you.

      Lmao what a joke. You don't think people travel around with that kind of money (as possessions) lest it be an e-scooter, huh? Silly thought.
      ACTUAL good advice would be having a GPS on your scooter so that, may you get robbed, you and the police could do something about it. Besides, you know you can have belongings like these covered under insurance, right?
