As a scooter rider, I found this very helpful. It's very hard to find videos for scooter tips as 99% of videos focus on motorcycles with a clutch.

Another thing I learned from my years on a scooter: Notice how he shifts his weight while turning on slow speed. This is kinda opposite to when you turn on high speeds, you lean on the side of your scooter, but on slow speeds you got to shift your weight on the other side to keep the balance. Hope it helps!

I love all this scooter content arriving from you! I’ve been looking for ages but could never find good information before you started posting. Thanks!

Hello. I am watching your lessons from Jordan and I want to thank you. I've been working with a food delivery company on scooters for a year and a half. I drive every day for 10 hours in very unorganized, crowded streets that lack the slightest degree of order and order. However, I learn from your lessons and benefit. Thank you.

Yep, 40 year rider here and I feel like a squid when U turning my Burgman 400 because no clutch. This is a great help, thanks. I've been using the rear brake but not leaning nearly as much as your demo. It should be noted how you're looking well into your turns and not at the front wheel. A lot of people don't do that as much as they should...and I include myself in that! Another great lesson from you and thanks for your scooter work. They are hugely underappreciated here in the US.

Oh finally great video about scooter turning tips!! I've been riding semi-auto motorbike without clutch so this is incredibly useful. Leaning the bike to turn / u-turn really does the trick for me. Still working on minute throttle controls to make it all smooth. Thank you - please post more scooter tips!

Please keep these scooter lessons coming and coming from a great teacher like yourself I know they will be top notch thank you.

[aleksandardjordjevic]

Thank you for this explanation. Very valuable for all of us scooter owners. Please continue with explanations and comparisons with motorbikes. Best regards from Belgrade, Serbia.

Great video. Just came back from a ride on my new scooter. (I took delivery only three days ago!). I have been following your videos, so I practiced turning and u-turns for an hour this morning. Found a really tight round-about. Not easy at first, but I found that the body position on my Vespa that worked on tight turns was exactly how your body looked on your BMW! Haven’t ridden two wheels for ten years, so a lot muscle-memory is lost. I’ve been watching your videos for the past month as I prepared for the delivery of my scooter. Now actually riding, I run through your videos in my head. Many, many thanks!

Really appreciate these scooter videos. I lacked the coordination for manual so opted for a scooter (since then I've developed arthritis in my knees) all too often scooters are forgotten about on channels like this but, it's nice to feel included

Just watched this again after a few months, since then I have bought a Honda forza 350 and every time I go out riding I practice this for 5-10 minutes (I stop after that because I get dizzy). It has helped me greatly, thank you.

I love that you're now making content for Scooters. I wonder if I can do this with my Yamaha Nmax. Been watching all Scooter videos. Hehe

[MrRayrenz]

I'm taking an exam with a similar scooter bike to get a driving license. I'm very new to driving, this will really help. This is the level I want to be at when I'm taking the exam. Thanks!

[paulxD]

Love your stuff man. this is so freaking helpful for us scooter riders specially in SEA region where many people use small displacement scooters as their daily service. Love from the Philippines! :)

[LittleSteamMrs]

Thanks for the advice! I've recently bought myself a 125 scooter and had my first lesson last week. All was going so well until we reached the U turns! Thinking critically and not in a self loathing way I think I need to practise maintaining a steady slow speed and having a bit more faith when leaning/turning around tighter corners, it's so easy to just grab the brake when you feel like you're anything that's not upright. At the moment it's such an unfamiliar feeling as I've never ridden solo before (passenger, no problem quite happy to be a little koala and lean when needed). Practise practise practise. Thanks again for such helpful insight, Lucy x

[FerretBooler]

This helps a lot. When I got my permit, I was on a brand new Grom and modulating the clutch was key in the tight turns.
On my heavy (by comparison) 500 Tmax, the slow speed tight turns have been a challenge. I paid attention to your counter balance, and I will try your suggestions.
Thank you. Scooter Mob

Best darn vid seen in ages, have been struggling to 'get it right' on my Yam XMAX so now it's out to the car park tomorrow! Thank you!

[enriquebravo]

Finally! Good instructional videos on scooters! Much appreciated! Riding scooters is not the same as a regular bike, and is not as easy as one might think, specially on u-turns. Look forward to see more tips and advice. Regards from Mexico! Congratulations on your videos... They are excellent!
