I learned to lock my my scooter to something immoveable every time I park. I'll drive all over the
parking lot until I find something on which to anchor the scoot.
-What did you learn? It can be about driving strategies, maintenance, apparel, trip planning or anything related to scoots.

I learned that if you want the service on your scoot done properly, you should do it yourself  |

Finishing up 2014 with 3.5k miles on my scooter and it's still running strong, so I learned that $1k can take you a long way!
Still enjoying the ride!

That is valuable wisdom.

I learned that taking pictures of the odometer for oil changes really helps out. My goal was/is to change it every 500km. It's easy to slip up in the warmer months when the miles add up quickly, without anything to refer to.

I was doing that onewheel,,but mines still clean at 1000km...you could do 500km in 2 days easy.. |

I was doing that onewheel,,but mines still clean at 1000km...you could do 500km in 2 days easy.. 310 real miles (500km) on this little scooter takes me about 3-4 weeks in the summer riding everyday. That'd be a lot of country road riding since I can't ride this on highways--- maybe on a 150. I don't do long trips because there isn't anywhere worth going on this thing outside of town, unfortunately. South Bend is a 25 min car ride from here-- but that's from point a to point b, not country roads. It'd probably take me well over an hour to get there- just not worth the time or boring scenery on the way, lol. My oil change average was probably closer to 600km. It was pretty dark at 800+km and easily pitch black at 1000km. |
