I'm 48 and did my CBT for the first time last month after the Mrs bought me a 125 scooter due to my driving test being cancelled 4 times. I can honestly say I love it. I watched loads of your videos beforehand and they definitely helped me to prepare as well as pick up some riding tips. Love seeing the trips round Hayling and over the hill too!
So glad my CBT instructor asked if I’d like to move from manual to auto. Not having to faff with gears and clutch meant i was so much more able to focus on the road and my control. I thought scooters were pretty goofy looking, and they are, but honestly it’s like riding a motorised sofa.
The Honda pcx 125 looks great best looking scooter
@@marcussterdy1702 For automatics, Suzuki Burgman Street 125EX's are nice. But the Suzuki Burgman 400 is even better
I was put on a scooter on my first CBT because my size was hindering me riding the geared bikes. I was much happier as the scooter was low and light. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford one so didn't ride at all. My second CBT I had an awful instructor who was on his phone 60% of the time. It destroyed my confidence and I refused to go on the road with him. Now, I have developed a fear of going on the road.
This video has really helped and my son has bought a scooter and will help me get my joy back on private land. I know how to ride and can do all the manouvres and my son has a full license. I can do a half day to do my road test. I just need to get my confidence back.
Thanks for this simple video Spicy 😊
I did a 1 hour lesson today and was really struggling with the clutch as well as my balance so me and the instructor agreed that I would do my cbt on an automatic and then ride one for a few months then go do a couple more lessons to learn gears once I had some more road experience and learnt the throttle control and my balance had improved
Glad to hear of the extra practise before getting on the road with gears, that is all it needs. Best of luck!
I figure the firts1 year to get use to the roads on an automatic scooter, then up to a manual 125 for another year whilst taking normal driving lessons, the goal being licensed to drive a car by then end of year two. I think taking a long time on each is good for me, but we're all different in where we're going and how we choose to get there....as long as your safe everything else is secondary!
Just got my CBT riding on a geared motorbike. I really didn't feel confident with the clutch, so I'm thinking of picking up a scooter. Turns out they're much cheaper to insure and often have better fuel economy. I just needed this video to know the difference between a geared bike and an automatic.
Man props to Spicy for going back to the fight against the anti-CBT google algorithm in UA-cam and helping keep it fresh for the new riders.
I had issue with gears as never had motorcycle experience so early on in CBT day tried scooter for zipping to work couple post codes over so scooter works for me my need and I bought a Honda PCX ready to start my 2 wheel journey building road awareness this a step up from my gravel pushbike I was also on road with difference is I can roll with flow now, love the channel keep doing ya thing
This isn't, "Surplus to requirements" at all: in fact I like the way you understand some of us know absolutely nothing!! Although I've had a full driving license for 25 years, I really underestimated just how different a motorcycle is. It's been like learning all over again.
This video helped so much. Gas prices are so high in the States that a moped or scooter are really the best choice. Love the video. I understand how to work and use a moped/scooter
Gas prices in the US are significantly lower than the UK! You're lucky!
Fantastic video . I've never been keen on riding or driving but commute costs for work are leading me towards getting a scooter . Your videos are definitely making me feel more comfortable about it all
A1 test which allows u to carry someone on the back L plates off and theory for the highway codes which means some road signs
Great video spicy. Only thing I would say is around the CBT. I personally do not see the problem with taking the CBT on a scooter and then teaching yourself gears. It’s what I did first time round. If you are starting from never riding a bike the CBT is far too short a time to learn gears and the important safety content of the CBT. The CBT is about safety, not really about riding. So it’s the same message regardless of if you are on a 50cc ped or a 650cc DAS bike with a DAS instructor at the start of you DAS.
I had mybe 5 lessons broken up into each week before doing the real cbt which is only 9:00 in the morning to 16:00 in the afternoon. I agree it is way too short for someone to go out on the road with one safely and confidently.
I've had a full licence for 20 years but recently decided to ditch my much loved suzuki 650 v-twin and I am now waiting for my Silence S01 to arrive for easy, fun commuting and pleasure. Scooters are just super easy to deal with and a laugh per cheap mile. Can't wait to re-live part of my youth. Thanks for the vid, just brushing up my knowledge incase I have forgotten anything about scooter riding as its been a few decades. 👍
,
Excellent video! I'll be doing a CBT soon and you've just taken away the fear factor. Many thanks and keep up the excellent work!
That's the idea! 😁👍 best of luck!
I done my cbt last wk. Easy peasy. You can not fail. Think positive n try not to be to nervous. Once you've been there for ten minutes all your panic dissappears. Goodluck ❤
Just bought one 50cc and I would like to get something like what you have in the future, thank you for this video.
Just bought my 1st scooter video awesome helped me so much thank you.
I’m all for “perseverance,” but in my experience, new riders who don’t instantly “get it” aren’t really given a lot of guidance or opportunity for perseverance other than just getting used to a scooter for a while. My school said all they could offer if I wanted extra tuition was letting me keep redoing my CBT. Passing on a moped as my instructor advised seemed better than nothing.
I ended up on a scooter during my CBT as I couldn't flat foot any of their bikes. It was very hot so I eventually had to withdraw to go back another day after I started to feel unwell. The scooter seemed fun but I eventually want a geared bike. I think they are excellent for building your confidence in the beginning.
How to ride an automatic scooter...
Just sit there and give it a shit tone of throttle 😂😂
There is a different skillset to ride a scooter than manual its defo abit easier but not completely. Slow speed and balance will catch you out
Have this Scooter few days. Its easy to drive not gonna lie. I think 90-100 kmh on my weight is pretty good. So my verdict is this scooter is good for beginners.
whats the name of the scooter?
I respectfully DIS-AGREE with your totally erroneous statement that passing the CBT on an automatic scooter when you are planning to go on to ride a manual bike is STUPID. I just did and failed my very first CBT because I was the only person in the class who chose the option of a geared bike when I had never ridden a motorbike before. The other people in the class had not only ridden before but came to the class on their geared bikes. When I asked why they were all learning on automatics if they had geared bikes they laughed and said you'll find out soon enough. And for sure the omount of time allocated for a total novice to both learn the geared bike mechanism and then also safely go into the road riding element of the CBT was inadequate and unsafe. As such, I failed or got told to come back another day at extra costs.
The other trainees then told me that that's why they learn on an automatic and then after they pass the CBT they have the luxury and time to practice on their own accord with a geared bike.
I was so pissed with my experience that when I went online and checked the same thing had happened to lots and lots of people who had no bike experience choosing geared bikes for their 1day CBT training. So in actuality the simpler and more sensible method is to pass with an easier automatic scooter and then get comfortable on the road and the experience of being on two wheels so you can then progress to a geared bike at your leisure. Unless your CBT course is longer than a day and dedictates the first day solely to learning the geared bike - which most of them don't do.
You have done one CBT, is that all your experience?
I have been riding 13 years and have a lot of exsperice talking to new riders and helping them, I have also talked to many instructors about this issue.
What is needed is more training not an auto. This learn in your own time = I do not want to spend the time to train you to a level that you can get thought the CBT, so get on this and pass then go and learn on the public road at your own risk.
Putting someone on the road who you know can't pass a CBT on a geared bike, knowing they are going to be riding a geared bike is a bit irresponsible and dangerous.
You need to have full control out on the road so you can pay attention to traffic and conditions. Sure if you happen to live right next to some land you can practice on it's not so bad but most head out on the road, I have seen this and their riding standard is far from where it needs to be to be safe.
It can be done but it is far from the best or safest way of doing it, that's why in all other tests you want a manual you must pass on one.
@@spicy110 Yes! that is correct, my experience is only one CBT. And that is the demographics I am addressing - the SPECIFIC experience of people with only one CBT.
Now, in relation to the safety aspect you reference, I will accept that there is a higher risk factor but would argue that the current method of the 1-day CBT coerces people to choose that factor rather than failing. Also, you don't necessarily need a friend with a large piece of land in order to practice independently (safely), all you needed is a relatively quiet road or carpark, or can also take extra professional lessons with a training school in conjunction with using the automatic moped until you switch over.
Overall, the point I am making is that the training schools, bye n large, all promote the view that geared bikes can be learned safely in a morning session and when large portions of students realise that is a lie.....it naturally leads to them feeling cheated and to look for alternative work around options. #IMO
The exact same this happened to me. Was very pissed off and am going to try doing my Cbt again with extra costs on an Automatic as it should be easier
I see both sides. I took my first CBT on geared bike. I was very nervous, had never ridden before, and failed miserably at only a few car lessons (not even getting near test level). I was glad my ex pushed me to geared bike. The instructor ensured we were all comfortable and had good understanding of the gears/bike handling before taking us on the road. I still failed the first time due to my confidence, NOT handling/gears. I can only relate it to that first car lesson you have. You don't get some playtoy sit-on ride in some room - you are taken out in a car and taught to use gears whilst learning the road, all at the same time.
The main point I want to make is it's not necessarily trying to learn gears and ride, it's more to do with your attitude and the consideration of the instructor if they think you can cope / be sufficiently observant on the road.
I wish I'd done it years ago!!!!!!!! 🏍
This really confused me reading this because when I had gone to do my cbt we was allocated 4 hours training then 4 hours on the road, bare in mind I was completely green and new had never rode a geared bike before in my life.
Thanks so much Spicy!
I had been riding a manual motorcycle for several years but wanted to learn motorscootey. My fear is I’m so used to the left side clutch to shift gears I’m afraid of squeezing the rear brake unintentionally and having a sudden and dangerous stop.
This can happen yes haha I did it when I reviewed a scooter after year's on large cc manual bikes. You get used to it pretty quickly. Now I can jump between manual, autos and electrics without needing to think about it.
Never.been on a scooter./motorbike after this video might give it a go always wanted to do it on holidays hols but too afraid
look through the windscreen of the car in frt of you at the next cars tail lights pre empt the braking
Great videos as ever Spicey any chance you could run through what brackets you use for filming what equipment could the ordinary joe use on a budget
Regards Wez
Very informative 👏
First time here, had to subscribe for future videos. Pls can one ride this in uk with Provisional license ?
with a cbt yes.
I agree with you, you should be limited to a twisty if you did your cbt on a twisty. Daft thing is the cbt certificate does say whether you did it on a twisty or a geared bike.
It does. I did my CBT in April and there is a checkbox for automatic and manual instructor ticks the box accordingly. Maybe it’s a recent change?
@@joulzee001 no not a recent change. Even though it states whether you trained on a twisty or geared bike you can ride either and I believe that's wrong.
Mean1974 I was half asleep I thought you said it doesn’t say if it was geared or twisty.
@@joulzee001 no worries, I just don't understand why it's on the certificate when there's no restriction on what you can ride. I know of people who did it on a twisty because they wre worried about completing the cbt on a geared bike because they already have one but couldn't get used to using a clutch and gearbox. I think it's dangerous that this is allowed
Its kind of a silly thing for cbt limiting u to an auto if u did it on an auto. If you teach yourself geard bike and have been doing it well for a while I dont see the problem. As apart from the gears its the same principals.
thanks for the information man peace
Don’t need to learn manual gears to ride DCT and there are a number of different engine size options available too 750, 800 and 1100
Much enjoyed
hayling island
hi mate just got one to get me round hope all are well
Anything 150cc and up to 800cc is a full size motorcycle even if it's in the body of a scooter. I'm so tired of people not calling scooters motorcycles because that's exactly what they are. There are even "full size motorcycles" now that are classic motorcycle style that have automatic clutches. No need to Ever learn how to use a clutch.
The big maxi scooters might aswell be called an adv motorcycle. The 125 honda forza is shaped like a big maxi scooter. I know plenty of riders that ride scooters but can ride manuals too.
Indeed..the new Honda Forza 750!..I bet thats a sweet ride.
Is there engine breaking on scooters? I have licence for gear bikes but fund scooters harder to control..any advice
If you had a car buss and lorry full licience and 250cc Honda on L plates years ago and now the UK Law wants me to take a CBT for just a 125cc bike on L's they can wait till im dead i already prooved i can handle up to a modern 125cc on L's it was allowed in other Countries i holiday'ed in too,
Maybe then we would see old bike owners come back in later age.
How reliable is this bike and what size tank also can you do a review on th appollo because I would love to see how you sit on that and record your feedback
Don’t forget to relax ur arms which means bend
What brand is your scooter & how much you bought??
So I'm 16, Iv just bought a twist and go 50cc, but my aims are to get a decent size geared bike when I can. The reason I'v settled for the twist and go is because it's the only independence I can currently get. Would you say that that's silly as I'm hoping to go from the twist and go to a geared? Thanks
I would have said wait for a 125cc because as soon as you are 17 you will want one. Nothing wrong with twist and go but clearly it will not teach you any of the clutch or throttle skills for geared machines.
@@spicy110 okay man. Thanks for advice. Appreciate reply too. Subbed to your channel. Seem like a cool guy
If you can’t ride a pedal bike will you have a problem with an automatic
I have a problem with downhill curves on a scooter..
like all your videos..i just bought a 125 equivalent e bike/top speed super soco 45 mph.have you tried one of these yet ?
yes, just check my motorcycle reviews playlist or search spicy110 and the brand.
good video me lad
Hi,
So to slow the scooter down do you pull the throttle back or does the throttle and speed ease back by its self if you let it go?
Many thanks if you can help.
Scooters dont have engine braking. Its basicly your on natural when you dont twist. Just slightly use your front brake if you wanna slow down thats where all the power is for stopping.
@NatsumeKonno Hi, many thanks for your advice. Please have a good day.
I just wonder the reason you physically bend backward to right or to left to see who is at your back. Does it keeps you blind for a few seconds of what's in front?
Very much the other way around, It is call a "Life Saver" It is a required part of riding to pass the UK licence and to be safe. Basically it is a last check to make sure no one is in your blind spot (being the part of the road behind you, you can not see with your mirror.) This do not just materialised if front of you so it is perfectly save to look round for a half second, it is never a few seconds.
You should be an instructor, lotta ppl fail or just give up cuz they're fortunate enough to get or a way to strict guy or a plain bully.
Looking for a scooter to commute to work … budget is around 2k , any recommendations?
I’m getting one in a couple of week I was wondering because it’s keyless is the kill switch how you turn it off or is there another way you’re supposed to do it
You just turn the key the other way. The kill switch is for emergency shut offs like accidents etc
Why don’t motorbike riders not nod if your on a scooter....?? Any advice mate
you can usually tell if they’ll nod or not if they don’t pay attention to you don’t nod if you look at eachother do
I do. Unless you're in a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops, in which case I wag my finger instead.
Advice, learn to ride a real bike lol, even 125cc get the nod. Other advice, don't look like a delivery driver and give them the nod first. Outside of London it does happen.
they do its just that they concentrating on whats infront of them
@@ultranuman scooter's are real bikes they have two wheels and an engine
Were you at hailing island?
I love that scooter design. what the scooter brand
Answered in the video but ua-cam.com/video/oGdS-O_hrPA/v-deo.html
I have full uk driving License. Do I need CBT or anything else to drive a 125cc automatic scooter?
Yes you need a cbt, your car license would only allow you to ride a 50cc if you pasted it before 1st Feb 2001. For a 125cc you will need a cbt either way.
❤
I weigh 94kg is 125cc scooter good for me to ride 54km distance to work in the highways will I be able to keep up with traffic 120km speed limit I'm a first time buyer for scooter or bikes in general
No u need at least 200cc to move comfortably, maybe u have a backback or extra weight
125cc scooters typically only reach like 100km/h with a light rider.
Had my scooter 2 days came round a corner and spun out broke my collar bone. Gutted
How do you slow down without braking? Do you twist the throttle forward?
Closing the throttle will slow the bike to a point. scooters do not have a gearbox so you do not get engine braking much if at all, but it will slow a little when you close the throttle. Otherwise, you need to use the brakes. If you meant rolling throttle forward like beyond closed to brake NO.
@@spicy110 is scooter and moped the same?
@@1uP-v2 No they are the same thing really just we tent to call 50cc one mopeds and 125cc ones scooters.
@@spicy110 how do you slowly push the scooter to park it or make a tight turn? Is there a neutral gear?
How do you engine brake on that thing?
let off the throttle, but it doesn't do much haha
What are all those buildings? Why there?
If you mean at the start on the beach, they are beach huts. Basically privantly owned shed to store stuff and use at the beach.
I need to get this job so I can get a Honda ps cos there cheap and fast
You want cheap and fast? Get piaggio zip with a 70s kit. The hey for around £500 and do about 70mph depending on what’s been done to it
Be interesting how things go in the next 10 years with many more Automatic bikes coming into the market.
I personally have no interest in riding a manual motorcycle with more and more options coming out for advanced automatic bikes such as Honda's tried and true DCT transmission for example.
👍👍👍
mate im too poor for both bikes so im getting a scooter
The side stand on this scooter is w4nk is what he doesn’t tell you
Are you going to do this on all my videos haha
@@spicy110 you look and sound like u tickle children mate
Who teaches the throttle revving thing that all seem to do😂
Grammar?🤣
How to ride an automatic scooter:
Twist the right grip towards you to go, release to stop.
What is there to learn?
A 3 year old can do it.
yeah but some pepole will enjoy this vid regardless
Im 32 just brought a moped went to the cbt absolutely fucked it and failed. Just cant get the balance and found turning hard although havent ridden a normal bike in years.
you talk so fast. I didn't understand a lot
Come on, admit it. That dodgy indicating driver was just one of your mates helping out, wasn't it? Too convenient.
Why am I watching a video on how to ride a scooter?
Haha nope they are genuinely that bad around here.
Hello mate i love your work i got my cbt Tommorow :) i must ask to which camera do you use for this video please i need one for cycle and scooter evidence i live in london and have about 20 near misses a day cheers in advance
Best of luck with the CBT, I use a Gopro hero 9, batts lasts an hr or so, so you might want to get a couple.
Cheers mate :) was rearranged for today all the best :)
Once you've learnt that and pass you CBT you can then learn to be a complete a**hole, well if you live in London. Not giving a toss about anyone else, total disregard of the meaning of cycle boxes. If your a teenager doing wheelies in inappropriate places. Then when you've mastered that you can then start carrying a passengers illegally progressing on to hijacking other scooters and if you've actually learnt gears, even motorcycles.
All in jest, or is it?
