I first learned how to ride a bicycle about two years ago, and I had one of a time. I was losing balance and crashing all the time. Turns were scary, stopping was almost impossible, and every time I'd try to pedal on to a sidewalk after a bit of road I would crash into the curb because my precision was off. It took a year of practice before I was finally able to take a ride without falling off, but I wrecked two bikes before that happened.
When I got my Honda Zook it was like the easiest thing in the world to balance on for me compared to the bicycle. I wasn't afraid of turning, stopping was easy, and going high speeds (20mph, lol) didn't make me wobble at all. I never fell off my honda zook.
Then I got my Great Leap Forward and didn't seem to have any problems balancing at all. After riding the with the tiny wheels on the zook it was a HUGE upgrade to go to these ginormous 10" wheels. The only times I've ever lost balance was when there was either ice, sand, or grass in the road causing me to completely lose my tire grip. Now, as long as I keep my eyes forward I never lose my balance after all the practice I've had. I've only got 1k miles on the thing but already I could sit on it sideways and still balance if I wanted to (which has happened before when bored waiting at a stop sign or stoplight and fidgeting around on the seet).
Yeah, my post isn't all that helpful... Other than the lesson of "Practice, Practice, Practice". Maybe find a goped to ride; then you'll be praying that you can ride your wobbly scooter again ;D
