While it may take some practice, special training, and a license to operate a motorized scooter, a simple kick scooter is super easy to ride! Just make sure you wear a bike helmet to protect your head in case you fall. You could also wear knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards to be extra safe. Find a long stretch of a flat road, with as few cracks and ruts as possible and place your non-dominant leg on the middle of the scooter's deck. Use your strong leg to push off of the ground and move yourself forward. Once you have your balance and have picked up speed, move your kicking foot onto the scooter, behind your other foot. Whenever you want to pick up speed, just kick off the ground some more! Whenever you want to slow down or stop, press on the brake that covers the back wheel until you come to a stop. Now get out there and have some fun!
