There are a few mental references you must alter when switching from an electric to non-electric or "Kick" scooter, and host Dagwood Streets illustrates but a few. Since he has been kick scootering a whopping 2 whole weeks he considers himself a "Master" already and thus qualified to teach the world.
A couple tips:
--On a kick scooter, don't ride down curbs in the same way you would on an electric scooter because it requires a different skill
--You can easily learn to ride up curbs on a kick scooter but it is NOT recommended on an electric scooter
--Use your paddle foot to lift the kick scooter over obstacles like pavement cracks and changes in ground surface
