1. Start Your Trip: Push off with one foot to get the scooter moving and then press the throttle, usually located on the handlebar, to pick up speed. Remember to follow all local traffic laws, ride in bike lanes where available, and wear a helmet.

   
   



2. Navigating Traffic: Stay aware of your surroundings, and use hand signals to communicate with other drivers and pedestrians when turning.

   
   



3. Parking the Scooter: Once you've reached your destination, park the scooter in a designated area or at a bike rack if allowed. Avoid blocking sidewalks, driveways, or access points.
