Learn How to Ride a Scooter? – A Mahindra Power Scooters’ initiative

Check out the reigning ‘Power Scooters’ – The Mahindra Power Scooters Rodeo, Duro and Flyte

A toddler first begins to show signs of movement by simply sliding its tiny body in a forward motion. This motion then slowly translates into moving on all fours. Eventually, the toddler finds strength to stand up on its feet by taking support of nearby objects. Then begin the first shaky steps of the toddler which is the proudest moment for any parent. Eventually, the child learns to take firm steps and starts walking.

In a similar way, learning to ride a scooter is a stepwise process. In the end, when you set out to learn anything, including riding a scooter, remember that “Practice makes perfect.”

The good thing about learning to ride a scooter (like a Mahindra Rodeo or a Mahindra Duro) is that it is easy. Every beginner has the dread about how to balance the scooter right and whether the tyres would skid while leaning into a turn and how to handle the scooter in between the traffic of fast moving cars and SUV’s. But you will have to make a start somewhere. These scooter driving tips by Mahindra will help.

Learn to ride a bicycle first: The first step to learn any two wheelers is to learn how to ride a bicycle. If you can’t even ride a bicycle, you stand nowhere when it comes to riding. If you are absolutely new to two wheelers, start with learning to ride a bicycle.

Wear protective gear: Your gear is your main protection. A helmet is a must. You also need to wear, eye protection, tough and bright clothing that is highly visible and the right footwear.  Wearing fluorescent colors like yellows and greens is always better as you would be visible from far.

Learn and follow Traffic rules: Traffic rules are meant for the protection and convenience of people driving on roads. Learn the traffic rules and always follow them to avoid any mishaps and inconvenience to other drivers.

Know your scooter: It is always better to have all the information of your ride. Learn all you can about your scooter and its controls and working parts.

Start with the basics: Start with the basics of getting the balance of the scooter right without having to touch your legs down too often. Once you get your scooter moving confidently, take time to learn essential skills like braking, accelerating, cornering and curves. This will prepare you for riding in traffic.

Move on to advanced skills: When you are confident about balancing the scooter right and being able to ride the scooter fluently, the next step is to learn the real riding. Start venturing into busy streets, on the highway, at night and in heavy traffic. Learn to ride handle your scooter confidently in traffic.

Be prepared for Emergency Situations: This is the most important skill which should be taken into consideration. Handling emergencies means you will have to learn how to brake suddenly to avoid a collision or an obstacle, braking while on a curve, coping with skids, riding on uneven surfaces, and handling bad weather/road conditions.

Start enjoying group rides and carrying passengers: Once you have mastered the aforementioned skills, it is time for you to enjoy the real fun of scooter riding. And believe me, Scooters like Mahindra Rodeo and Duro will naturally increase your affinity for social gatherings. Long rides, adventure trips, parties and movies will all follow. Riding with a bunch of friends is a lot of fun but riding in a group requires a different skill which needs to be mastered.

Scooters have come a long way from the days of the Vespa and Lambretta. Modern scooters are light, powerful and highly fuel efficient. Mahindra’s range of trendy and powerful ‘Power Scooters’ set the tone for an utterly exciting urban ride. Mahindra’s power scooters, namely Rodeo, Duro and Fylte are as adventure filled for male riders as they are peppy and fun-filled for female riders. Mahindra Rodeo makes for an ideal macho scooter for the urban male.

If you can’t still ride a scooter, learn how to ride one. It is easy. Once you have mastered the scooter riding skills, riding a Mahindra Power Scooter will be more than just a fun experience.
