  • Scooter riders everywhere have this problem, but when will drivers realize that scooters are here to stay. They are faster, cheaper, and simply superior to cars for getting around town. There will only be more and more riders as people try scooters for themselves, it is inevitable.
    If you are a rider, stay vigilant when you are out. Ride with others if you can, there is safety in numbers without a doubt. I named this channel Scoota Gang for a reason, we are all in this together. As Jordyn and I come ride in more cities this year, we invite you all to join us and show everyone that scooters are here to stay!
    If you agree with the point we're trying to make in this video, please like, comment, share, getting this message out to the car drivers is the only way to really start this conversation. Thank you.

    Yeah i feel the same way like they own the street. Probably because they pay for a license and scooter riders don't so maybe just maybe it's annoying for them to accept we have the same privilege but without the license so they feel the need to bully us around. Obviously that women sounds crazy and she's making a threat over this?? She's probably the one to hit and run if she hit one of you guys.

    Happens to me in Grinnell now every once in awhile.. their inability to adapt is ridiculous. Had one pass me at 25 on a side street, so you know I had to assert myself back in front of them at 45-50. I’m a man of principal.
    That traverse would’ve definitelyyyy lost a mirror if I was with y’all. Not sorry.

    Scooters are a lot closer to bikes than motorcycles, this is why people pass you. Also you guys were having a lot more road rage than the cars. In that second clip, you're literally driving all over the road in every lane.

      I have a scooter and they are more like a motorcycles by far. Control wise / the angles you take, balance wise, speed, wobble, torque, no pedalling. An expensive e-scooter can take the road easily but an e-bike would struggle to keep up

      I understand that it’s a small vehicle, but when it’s going at or above the speed limit, there is no reason to pass it.
      It’s not impeding the flow of traffic and I bet you that you shouldn’t be that enraged doing the speed limit if the scooters weren’t there.

    This is why I stick to fast scooters and even if I go 50mph on a 40mph road, they are still faster than me. I sold my Emove cruiser because of something like this. I ride bicycles on sidewalks and I don’t ride them on where I ride scooters at. One time I was signaling to get people to pass me and hearing the horn the mad way and I wasn’t having it. I was on the white line and was no shoulder soooo yeah I had few Karens here

Emove latest scooter is Emove Roadster is their fastest scooter this one is built for racing. With this you can out run those idiots Emove Roadster is extremely POWERFUL scooter much faster than ordinary vehicles.

    In my town even if I do 50mph in a 25 zone someone will do this to me every fucking time. And yes mirrors are broken and sometimes I will dent the shit out of every panel on trucks and cars. I'm on an electric bike in Maine, I have to gear my bike up with semi off road tires just in case ass holes here try and run me over. Back in 2019 I had to ride with a shot gun visible on my back pack at all times to keep people from raging against me. Lucky I'm a big guy and don't get messed with much. Right now I only have one or two incidents a day. I only ride bikes or ebikes. I sold my car last year because I didn't use it for 4 years and it was just going to rot.

    To other commentors, I to believe most of the rage is because they "wish" they could ride and have fun, but they are so brainwashed into have a Giant car to haul them selves around in. It is so funny , they look like cyborg beetles, so reliant on a cage of metal to protect themselves from the evil outside.

    I used to ride an e-scooter on the road, but not anymore. I haven't been pull over by a cops and also haven't get caught by a road rage yet. So, I'm lucky. This is the reason why I don't want to ride on the road again!
    I'm riding a high-speed e-scooter on the bike lane now. Bike lane is safer because there's no road rage. Road rage can't do anything on the bike lane. Cops are mostly on the road, not bike lane.

    I’ve had similar experiences. Unless I’m speeding, people in cars seem to get irritated that they’re behind a scooter they perceive as slow. Even then it doesn’t totally eliminate dangerous close passes, despite consistently beating cars off the line and getting up to the speed limit or above faster than they do. I’ve had people yell at me out their window saying that I should be on the sidewalk, and that I’m not a car and shouldn’t be on the road, all while we’re going 30-40mph. It should be obvious to them by my speed and motorcycle helmet that the sidewalk is not the place for me to ride. In fact, it’s specifically where I’m not supposed to ride. So far I’ve been able to fight the urge to take a mirror, but it’s definitely tempting after a driver puts me in danger on purpose.

    The problem is you can't outrun road ragers in cars by going "faster". You go 40 MPH they go 50 MPH, etc. In addition, most states won't let you legally ride any kind of e-scooters over 15-20 MPH. If you are riding responsibly, let the ragers rage.

    I drive trucks, cars, and ride motorcycles, snowmobiles, ebikes, and escooters. Following someone to their house is asking for big issues, basically as bad as road raging. You mention owning the lane, but you dont really own it by hugging the curb. It literally entices a driver to go around you... most people won't hug a curb or roadside unless there's a problem, you are going slower, you're lost, whatever. Hug a curb and I'm going to go around you. If you want to own the lane, then own it and ride right in the middle of the lane or even towards the left of the lane. I get your point totally in the vid, just sayin.

    wow you be careful out there. you have more road rights than those cars, since the government is pushing all-electric vehicles your trying to make a difference or complying with that concept and the general car transportation bozo's don't like change, it seems. I like your videos and scooters. Im 65 and a CDL driver. I will give you room and not try to run over you. I used to ride a Harley through Atlanta traffic. the cars would consider me a moving target driving the city perimeters were like driving on a NASCAR track.
