New from Oakland, CA
Hello guys,
I've purchased my first scooter today, a Lance Cali Classic 125! I'm one of those who transitioned over from many years of owning a car (and driving alone in it wasting $$ gas and insurance). From my username, I'm only 5'1 and find it a tad bit difficult with the weight of the scooter. Anyone have any tips on how to handle this? I LOVE the scooter but am scared of it falling on my little legs. (Well, it's not THAT bad. Maybe I just need some help easing my anxiety over this new change). Well, any comments, tips or trick, or a HAPPY Hi will do! Also, if you live in Oakland as well, you can maybe spare some scooter parking tips. Great to be part of this community! Hope to learn lots and lots and lots! |

It seems intimidating now but you will get used to it. You picked a good scooter. Enjoy it and ride often. You have the weather for it.

Welcome to the forum. I was pretty close to buying a Lance before I bought the Buddy. Lances are good scoots. When I am waiting at a stoplight, I lean the scoot over to one side so that one foot completely touches the ground: heel to toe. Otherwise, I'm on my tip toes if I put both feet down while seated.
