Hello guys. Today I've got the Midi GT3
0:05
um electric scooter and I'm going to
0:07
show you how to properly use the
0:15
So, as you can see here, we've got our
0:19
And the first thing that I actually
0:21
recommend to do is to park your scooter
0:26
on the flat and stable ground. The best
0:30
surfaces are concrete, asphalt, and fat
0:33
paving paving stones. Avoid soft dirt,
0:37
gravel, grass, or sloped sidewalks.
0:41
The small kickstand foot can sink into
0:44
the soft ground surprisingly easy.
0:49
Lean the scooter gently on the
0:51
kickstand. Do not drop it. What I mean,
0:53
as you can see, is that here we've got
0:58
this is the soft like this. And this is
1:05
dropping. This is dropping.
1:08
And this is normal. So place it gently.
1:14
Don't drop it. A lot of riders slam the
1:17
square sideways onto the stand. Instead,
1:22
hold hands firmly. extend kickstand
1:25
fully and slowly leans scooter into it
1:28
onto actually it. This reduces stress on
1:32
kickstand mount frame and deck bolts.
1:35
Number three, make sure to uh make sure
1:39
that the stand actually fully locks open
1:43
before letting go. check it because as
1:46
you can see it's not locked. Okay, it's
1:50
not maybe easy to leave it but here it
1:52
can be like this and it can and it can
1:55
here go back and you can just drop it.
1:59
So place it lock it and everything
2:05
Actually this is um this is very
2:08
important because uh hover pancakes are
2:12
a classic cause of tip overs. So yeah,
2:16
don't stand on the deck while parked.
2:18
The very important thing, the kickstand
2:21
is designed for supporting the scooter
2:23
weight, not rider at the scooter
2:26
combined weight. Standing on it can bend
2:29
the kickstand, loosen the mounting
2:32
bolts, and crack mounting points. Be
2:35
extra careful on the wet surfaces. Rain
2:38
changes the stability more than people
2:40
expect. So on wet tile or smooth
2:43
pavement, tires can slide slightly,
2:46
kicks and can slip and scooter may
2:48
slowly roll. Especially risky in some
2:53
rain weather or something like that or
2:56
winter slash. Uh in the during the
2:59
winter, salt and dirt damage the hinge.
3:02
So road and salt uh road salt or some
3:06
water or some dirt can make the
3:09
kickstand squeak, stick, stop rocking
3:11
smoothly. So good habit is to wipe the
3:14
hinge area after wet dries and apply the
3:18
tiny amount of silicone rubricant
3:22
Check the kickstand bolts regularly.
3:25
Every few weeks you need to check it
3:27
because um it's very uh heavy actually.
3:31
23 kg and the vibration and that when
3:35
you ride can make the bolts loosen over
3:37
time. As you can see here, we've got our
3:40
bolts and just check them from time to
3:46
This is not the screwdriver, but I
3:47
wanted to show you that this is this
3:48
thing. You need to try to uh
3:54
you need to try to, you know, uh tighten
3:57
them, not leave them loosened. So apart
4:00
from that, you need to try to avoid
4:02
parking facing downhill. Even with the
4:06
kicks and deployed, scooters can roll
4:09
forward slightly if ground is steep,
4:11
surface is slippery, and tire pressure
4:13
is low. So the best best practice is to
4:16
park penduler to slope or facing uphill.
4:21
Fold carefully around the kickstand when
4:25
folding or unfolding. Avoid kicking the
4:27
stunt accidentally, dragging it across
4:30
the pavement and twisting it sideways.
4:32
Side impacts are how many square
4:37
And number 10 and the last thing, use
4:40
the twopoint stability check before
4:42
walking away. Quickly confirm that both
4:45
both tires are stable and kickstand
4:48
planted firmly is planted firmly. It
4:51
takes two seconds and preverse prevent
4:53
most falls. As you can see here, I've
4:55
got the wheel. Now, this is actually the
4:58
bonus for me. The 11 thing. Here, I've
5:01
got the wheel to the right. And it can
5:04
make Oh, it can make the scooter fall
5:08
like this. And it can and can it can
5:10
stress it. So, try to bend your uh
5:16
scooter to the left so that it won't
5:18
stress that much because here we've got
5:19
the wheel um reducing the stress onto
5:23
it. So try to do it on the left. I'm
5:27
doing this on the right so that it will
5:28
look better during the video. But you
5:30
know, just try not to do it. And that's
5:35
actually it. Goodbye.
