Question

Does it matter what foot I use when riding a two wheeled scooter?

Community Answer

No, it doesn't matter. It only depends on your preference. I personally use my left foot to push, but I have friends who use their right foot. Just ride your scooter both ways for a little bit and see what you prefer.

Question

What is the difference from a electric and a traditional scooter?

Community Answer

An electric has a motor, so you don't have to keep pushing with your foot. It's also easier to balance on it because it goes faster and more smoothly.

Question

What is a weight limit on a scooter? Could a 500-pound person ride one?

Myhouse2345

Community Answer

Most scooters have a weight limit under ~250 lbs, so a 500-pound person could likely not ride an average scooter, certainly not safely. However, there are some scooters specially made with 500+ weight limits, so this person would need to find such a customized one, to be sure to be safe.
