Got my electric scooter the other day and have been practicing

I don’t have any pics. But this is What I bought on @shutterbug recommendation

I feel very unsafe riding it so far like I need a lot more practice before I go on a real trip.

Right on! I hope you enjoy it. You’ll get the hang of it. Are you discovering that your feet and calves ache when you ride? They will need to toughen up. The important thing is don’t try and ride one-handed - EVER. eScooters aren’t stable like a bike for that.

Oh yeah, you’ll be fine. I biffed it in my first month, but now I go off-road and can jump off and on curbs no problem after a few months of practice.

That thing is so COOL!! Practicing will be fun and when you get good taking a trip will be so nice.

It took about two weeks of daily riding for that to go away for me. Now I can ride for a couple of hours.

I really wish I had taken my scooter with me this past weekend as it fits in my car’s trunk. I forgot to and then had to climb a very large hill on foot after taking photos of a bridge:

I tried renting one of the local rideshare scooters, but it was blocked from the hill and couldn’t be used there. Annoying. I’m guessing it is because they aren’t very powerful. Mine has dual motors and can probably climb a wall. I definitely made it to the very edge of what my heart could handle that morning.

@shutterbug my scooter seems to be going 10mph tops. It says it has a 440 on weight limit and I’m 315. Maybe that has to do with it or I am just not pressing hard enough on the accelerator OR possibly it’s set to 10mph max?

It has 3 speed ranges and it sounds like you’re stuck in economy. Have you tried normal and sport?
