- Guys! Get some sense of humor please! This is not a manual on how to ride a scooter! This video is a joke, my husband took it and I uploaded it here just for fun. But surprisingly it received a lot of views. I don't promote riding a bike without wearing some special protective clothes and proper shoes or without a license! I don't know how to ride a scooter myself, as you can see from that video! It was my first time hopping on a scooter. I made a few laps and recorded this video. That's it!
The video was taken in February 2013 in Chiang Mai, Thailand

This is really helpful :) I just turned 18 so I am gonna be driving soon.. Hope its gonna be fun!
I’ve just got on my first scooter here in Thailand. Thanks for the video. Very useful.
i came upon your video while trying to look how to start the vehicle.. i did same as you after that.. thanks for uploading
this is so natural for beginners thanks for showing us how it will be feels like. thumbs up for yah guys
Glad to help, Lauren!
Hey you explained to so easily and so well. God Bless ! :)
Awesome!! You sound just like me! I took my 1st ride 2nite & said the Exact same things as you. :) Safe & Happy Riding, Love! X♡
Hi Alyona, I really enjoyed your vid. I have been riding a scooter for 9 years. It took me courage to drive it for the first time too. In my opinion you did very well with your first ride. Your English is very good. I hope you had plenty of practice, and are enjoying your scooter. It is a lot of fun. Don’t let anybody tell you to push past your comfort level.
You are a very sweat lady. and I really like your vid!
*You are a very sweat lady*
Rly boy?Did u mean sweet?
Just remember, coming off even at 30mph with just a Tee Shirt and leggings on will take probably months of skin grafts to get you arms and legs looking vaguely like arms or legs again!
Protection! Biggest beginner tip!
Thanks, Sergio and Good luck! :)
Congratulations for your "test ride" - scooters and motorcycles are great vehicles to ride, welcome to the family!
Just one little recommendation, if I may? I would suggest to wear "laced-up shoe-wear" for foot/ankle protection and you would be less likely to "drop one" if you skid your foot on the pavement at a stoplight or other maneuver.
Enjoy and have a safe ride, Ciao, L (from Maine/USA and Quebec/CAN)
Thank you Cristian for your answer to sdeary1. I was just going to write the same. I am not an expert but when you drive an automatic scooter you are supposed to use more the back brake as I said in my video.
Jesus... why was this first video suggested in google for first time with a scooter.... “first you do this”... helpful
Thanks for replying... Nice and simple video...
+Rahul Thapar thank you :)
Also, you will not likely end-over from using just the front brakes. Bicycles have a high center of gravity and can easily lock up the front wheel. On any motor bike (including scooters) not only does the engine provide some braking on the rear wheel (when you decrease the throttle), but the weight of the engine results a very low center of gravity thus making it more stable in braking. Many dirt bikes and super-sport bikes can end-over, but this is not really the case with a scooter.
We're learning how to drive a scooter from someone that is afraid of driving it, great!!!
I got a scooter and I wanted to see how to ride one, so actually her video did help me out...
thanks a lot for your advice!
Wow thank you for this video
😊 thank you its so helpfull.
I'm going to rent a scooter seeing how easy you made it look. Thanks very much.
jamesyboycarr you're welcome! 😊
thank for this vedio it's very helpfull for my sister
awwwwww. You're so cute.
Were you able to ride a bicycle before you did this vid?
Good grief!! It took her a long time to start riding. A scooter is not hard to figure out....but she did it so I'll give her credit for that.
A scooter is like a bicycle.
You should get on it!
Waz there a man in a roman gladiator robe walking down the street holding some huge sickle thing lol
She's cute with a sweet Spirit:) good video.
Nice video.
Get a new helmet, a full face helmet some boots (girls love to buy boots lol ) and gloves and a jacket as a minimum, you should dress for the accident you hope you'll never have, even coming off at 30 mph can cause terrible road rash and if you land on your face you can say goodbye to your nose, front brake for braking rear for slow speed control.
In my experience scooters tend to have a bit of lag on the throttle so at a junction i would apply the rear brake and lift the revs a little then to pull out just release brake and rev up seems to stop that lag and gets you off the mark quicker. Just my opinion and you can disregard it if you like or give it a try.
I Am Greatness Beyond Extraordinary Thanks For The Information ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this video! You made this experience far less intimidating for me!!
Very nice english there and i gotta say you are very beautiful, nice video and god bless u and keep u safe
Wow thank you so much
After seeing this im pretty sure i'll be able to ride one haha
the light, dont forget it Girl
only use the back brake under 30mph to slow down, over 30 u should use the front a lot more
Thanks a lot for the vid (:
At 1:22 Those Monks look like they are ready to kick some Ass! or sweep the road, I don't know which...
Thanks a lot.
Hi.
I've a question. I don't know how to ride a bicycle. But people tell me I need to learn that first to learn to ride a scooter. Is it necessary? Can't I learn riding a scooter without learning to ride a cycle?
+Tanjima Brishty Hi Tanjima, I don't really think it's necessary to learn riding a bicycle, though maybe it could help you. For me it's much easier to ride a bicycle than a scooter, maybe it will be the other way round for you. Just try it :)
+Alyona Travels Thanks a lot! I really wanna have my own scooter. & for your reply, I feel more confident about learning. Wish me luck! :)
+Tanjima Brishty Good luck! :)
How did she get it to move mine will turn on but will not move?
Thank you guys for your comments!
How can u teach it if u haven't got a clue , some people are weirdddd
Actually you're supossed to use the back brake more than the front brake, as you sayd the front brake is for emergency and it brakes better because the weight of the bike gets on the front wheel when you use the front brake. The rear brake is not that effective because there isn't much weight on the back of the bike.
Nice scooter honda scoopy.very easy to ride on
hi there... thank you... actually i bought the same scooters and try to learn using it :)
Everyone should know our Simson Schwalbe from germany! But the most don't know it so just google it!
suggestion... before actually buying the scooter or alike... buy the protective gear to wear when driving... if not you most likely will commit the mistake of driving with poor skills and no gear to protect you
+Robert Ostman no one wears gear in Thailand, its too damn hot
haven't you seen just how bad a accident can be?? imagine,... if you can cut a finger using paper... how is it going to be like when you fall... slide.... and hit the edge of a side walk...
they only cruise around the cities mate... living in the UK you notice everyone is obsessed with health and safety and there are so many restrictive rules... Its refreshing to visit a place where you can have fun and enjoy life without the stress. flip flops and shorts on a scoot makes perfect sense to me and them.
hcw199 huumm well I don't know if you have notice all the accidents shown in TH-cam.... perhaps most were filmed in Taiwan... there are plenty of videos that clearly show how bad it can get and just how simple it is to get into a really bad situation... if you look at a game named xcom you will see the sort of gear that one needs
hum I bet that you aren't wearing proper gear... perhaps believing that if there was a accident it would be a minor thing... at 30 to 40 km per hr and above pretty much a accidents can kill or leave some nasty injuries that you will be wearing for the rest of your life... if you think that not wearing gear is nice... or ok... I know you are wrong... plenty of prove to see that I am right... if you don't want the gear... better stay away from driving a scooter or a motorcycle
your supposed to use the front brake more than the back brake, hence why the front brakes are better than the back ones
thanks fir learn girl
Thanks
good tutorial by foreign madam.
good
Most likely my wife and I are getting a Scoopy this weekend. I'm a man and confess I'm nervous 😂
Is this Cambodia?
Are you Italian?
I was in 3rd grade when I learned driving a scooter now Im in 5th grade
hi alyona , which country are u from
+Rahul Thapar I am Russian, living in Europoe at the moment.
have u ridden a motocycle before?
Could u tell me the difference between automatic and non automatic scooter?
avu sha With an automatic scooter gear shifting will happen automatically while with a non-automatic scooter you’ll have to use your foot and the clutch pedal to shift the gears up and down.
Thanks💕
Seriously flip flops?
So what..people wear shorts, flip flops and no gloves and helmets on bicycles each and every day. Sure they are a lot slower but the end result, falls , spills getting hit by vehicles ends the same way. .
It's a moped.. Seriously? Stop exaggerating things as if shes riding a big sport bike or a Harley Davidson. Geesh
To clear up the braking issue. On any vehicle, when you're slowing down, momentum transfers the weight forward and thus the front brakes have 70%+ of the total stopping power; as such the rear brake should be used as a control brake or with the front to do a quick stop. I've ridden both scooters and motorcycles and the main reason I use the rear brake is when starting on a hill (as I have to release the front brake to twist the throttle).
hello u answer me ok your from where and wht iz cost of that bike u say me ok answer me fast
depends on the model...some are $700.00 to $2,000.00
I don't know how to ride a cycle...
will I be able to ride a scooter???
+Kayan Nazir if you learn how to do it, sure, why not?
No because riding a scooter is exactly the same as riding a bicycle.
no its not dude a scooter/moped is a lot heavier than a bicycle
david crow So?
me to
actually the right brake is always the front brake.
Hi i want to buy a scooter. But honestly speaking I never even ride bicycles. So my friends said if I can't balance bicycle I will not be able to ride and balance bike or scooter. Now I'm confused. Please give me some idea about that. 😒
Dipannita Bhattachariyad I think you should give it a try first before you decide to buy it :) if it works well for you then go ahead and buy one :)
Thanks :-)
Dipannita Bhattachariyad i learning to drive scooter but i have never learn to drive a cycle . Without learning to drive a cycle it becomes very hard for completely newbie to learn to drive scooter ...........i am still taking my lesson and u should too...even if u are a newbie.
Dhaval Vasaiya thanks dear. 😄
Try riding one with a clutch, that is a nightmare at first... Auto shd be a no brainer, throttle and go
my mum told me these basically balance on their own is that true?
+perry mackay well sort of :)
+Alyona Travels so still easy balance?
+perry mackay yeah quite easy if a scooter is not big.
What kinda scooter is this ???
it's Honda Scoopy
what's the actual name of this scooter?
It's Honda Scoopy i
okay, thanks for replying! :)
What kinda Honda scooter is this?
melvin jackson it's Honda Scoopy
👍
I'm supposing you need a license, correct?
Macandcheeseruler yes
U need to have gloves & shoes not just a helmet & sandals
You should get familiar with what you're doing before advising. Also, appropriate shoes should be worn.
What kind of scooter is it.
It's honda Scoopy, and automatic scooter 110CC
Alyona Travels men is 90 or 50cc is ok for 45 mins travel ?
scooty riding in traffic road
hi guys im 15 and i want to know whats the youngest age to get a scooter???
16 for a 50cc scooter/moped. Once you pass your CBT practical and theory and you're 17/18 you can ride a 125cc
+Joey Murca you need a provisional license at 16 too
And I well tell you from my riding life the more speed the less wobbling there is
I agree :)
v depends where you're from.

Looks more like Thailand
riding a scooter wearing flip flops ??
Not the safest shoes for riding.
visit India I will teach you how to ride foc.
:)
lol😂 how to crook
dunno how to turn around
You need lessons, and better safety gear.....
Sdeary1, why would you think using the front brakes are more reliable? What, you want to go flying cowards and crash?
atleast get a full face helemet
your face isn't safed, your body, too. And 'Flip-Flops??'- are you serious?
i bet you drive in a leather gimp suit with spiked joint protectors and a dirty helmet.
you ride a scooter. not drive it.
Ommm yea this is sad if you have to make a video on how to ride a moped
Yea its funny theres quiet a few vids on this kind of thing
Yea, this is sad that people like you who doesn't need this kind of videos, watch them and leave such comments. Why do you guys even spend your time on that?
Alyona Travels you're very beautiful
Javontae Eaddy Thank you :-)
