Member Posts: 58
OK so I'm finally after about 10 days of owning it going to get the scooter out of the boot give it a bloody good clean and am going to test drive my new 2nd hand wheels.
I'm going to be soooooo self conscious buy hopefully I won't see anyone ha ha.
Hubby test drove it for me -just like he test drives all my wheels.
I should have maybe purchased a helmet and knee and elbow pads like you do for roller skates ha ha.
Hopefully I won't fall off it - wish me luck

My daughter and I still remember the first time I hired one for a trip to a shoppingmall...the highlight was my effort at shoplifting from M and S when a bra got caught round the back wheels.He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

Hi Wobbly
My husband test drives all my wheels as well
but he wasn't in the shopping centre when I hired one of theirs for the first time
These ones aren't the big ones like supermarkets have. They are a normal size....probably like yours and like the one I have now.
The lady that hired it wanted me to do a test drive when she found out I hadn't driven one before.
I drove a short distance across the car park and she said turn round. I looked at her and she was laughing....You don't need to do a 3 point turn, it turns on a 6p
As I got closer to her she was still laughing. I asked her why?
She said....."KEEP YOUR FEET STILL"
I was still driving my car......trying to do 3 point turns and feet going trying to use the clutch and brakes
It worked out OK....just go for it you'll be fine.
Love
