Riding Instructions
This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard scooter. Before you try
to ride an electric scooter, you should be very familiar with controlling and balancing a
normal scooter.
Caution
If you do not have cycling experience, an e-scooter is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin
learning to ride a scooter using an e-scooter.
Important Notes
• Escooters are Fast! E-scooters are capable of traveling at higher speeds than
many scooter riders are accustomed to. Use caution at all times, especially when
travelling in mixed tra c. Always take into account driving and traveling condi
tions.
• Obey the Law. Be sure to follow all provincial and city traffi c laws. This includes
obeying stop signs, checking carefully when turning, and riding defensively. An
escooter is a motorized vehicle, even though it is classed as a scooter. You must
follow the law.
• Stay Sober. Never ride your scooter while intoxicated. An e-scooter is capable of
traveling faster than a normal scooter, and you should always be in control of it.
• Share the Road. Be careful in mixed traffi c. When on scooter paths, traveling near
pedestrians, or on recreational trails, try to be polite and courteous to those using
the paths with you. E-scooters are new in most cities, so other users of the roads
and recreational paths may not know how to deal with e-scooter riders. Bear in
mind that, in a sense, e-scooter riders are “ambassadors” for this new method of
transportation.
