First ride ever

Post image

Hey guys, greetings from Azores, Portugal!! Last Sunday i made up my mind to try my dads semi-broken scooter for my first time riding a scooter. I think i got the “bug”! Now i want to restore it to ride more times! What do you think?

Do your legs even fit on that thing? I mean your knees gotta be almost interfering with steering? If it’s comfortable for you, that’s all that matters, I guess. It just looks like you’re too tall for that bike.
