Beginner's Guide to Riding an Electric Scooter

Using an electric scooter to move around is enjoyable and practical. To stay secure and in control, beginners should be aware of a few crucial concepts. This manual will go over the fundamentals of getting ready for a ride, stopping and starting, navigating, riding on various terrain, safety advice, and problem-solving.

Be prepared

• Be sure to wear sports shoes when riding electric scooters, and wear helmets, protective glasses, knee pads, elbow pads, and other protective items throughout the ride on electric scooters.
• Only one person is allowed to ride the electric scooter. Please do not stand two or more people on the electric scooter at the same time.

Up and down the electric scooter

There are two ways to stand: one is the left foot in front, toe to the right, also known as forward standing; the other is the right foot in front, toe to the left, also known as reverse standing. Most people riding electric scooters use the former method of standing. The skills described later are based on such a stand. If you think it is uncomfortable to stand this way, you can also change the direction and use the second way of standing.

When on the electric scooter

• Preparation: Stand with both feet on the ground and place the board flat on the ground in front of your feet. On the board: first, put one foot on the front of the electric scooter, the other foot is still on the ground.
• body weight to have been on the board feet, the upper body slightly forward, knee bending, arm extension, maintain balance.
• Gently step on the ground with your foot, give a light stomp, and then mount the electric scooter by placing yourself on its back. At this time, screw down the electric door, and the body and electric scooter will start to slide forward.

When getting off the electric scooter

• When the electric scooter does not come to a complete stop and is still sliding forward, slowly squeeze the brake first, put your weight on your front foot, and then put your back foot on the ground like a landing gear.
• Once the rear foot is firmly on the ground, shift your weight onto it and lift the front foot, allowing both feet to land gracefully on the sides of the skateboard. When you can get on and off the electric scooter comfortably, you should try to get the front and back foot positions to change and get familiar with the reverse skating position.

Control and steering

In the body completely standing on the skateboard, slowly tighten the electric door to start the scooter, during which you can also adjust the gears according to the desired speed to adjust the corresponding gears.

When turning, we need to slowly turn the handle of the electric scooter and then the body weight to the side of the steering tilt.

Riding on different road surfaces

Pay attention to the road conditions while driving, ride on flat roads and gentle slopes as much as possible, watch out for gravel and mud, and beware of falls.

Do not wade through water. This type of electric scooter chassis is relatively low, so it is easy to short-circuit once the water is in. Electric scooters have the possibility of scrap.

It is best not to brake sharply. Because this type of electric scooter has relatively poor stability, relatively flexible, emergency braking is particularly easy to roll over, and the road conditions are complicated to slow down in advance.

It is best not to ride in the rain and snow,as the ground is slippery, and bad control braking is more dangerous, so it is best to take other transportation in the rain and snow.

Electric scooter safety tips

First of all, electric scooters in the use of the first need to check whether the electric scooter power is sufficient, whether the brakes and braking system are normal, etc., so that you can largely ensure the safety of travel. When using an electric scooter as an adult, paying attention to the brake tension and ensuring that motor feedback is functioning properly is important. If you exceed the recommended weight limit, it can increase the strain on the vehicle, specifically on the motor, which can be harmful and pose safety risks.

Therefore, it is crucial to adhere to the specified usage limits to ensure a safe and optimal riding experience. Before use and during travel, check the brakes, braking system, and battery power to avoid any motor failures or accidents resulting from overweight usage.

It is crucial to rapidly recharge the electric scooter in order to address problems like slack brakes, a weak braking system, or low battery power in order to ensure safe use. The use of electric scooters is premised on mobility, safety, and security.

In addition to travel, work, and other benefits, electric scooters can also exercise your physical and mental health, exercise bones, correct vision, correct hunchback, and other benefits, better for travel and mobility life. If the brake is too loose, you can use a screwdriver to adjust the brake tightness through its own induction.

Conclusion

Electric scooters, as a very new way of travel, can bring a lot of convenience to our lives, that is, environmentally friendly and convenient, but there are many precautions in the riding process. We should be prepared in advance to ensure safe riding and enjoy the whole riding process.
