Here's a little video of the wife on her MP3. The 1st half of the video is from on board her scooter. About 1/2 way through, we switched the camera over to my Rex to shoot some video footage of her on the scooter. Still learning to edit, and probably need to save the footage at a higher level for more clarity, but still not bad if I say so myself.

Weather was iffy all day--of course until we got home and the sun came out. Go figure.

Not a bad video at all! Nice to watch an mp3 from the front. She looks like she has no problem handling it.

A good video. You are lucky to have good asphalt. In Dallas all the roads are being constantly torn up to rebuild utilities. All we have is patchworks and bumps. I envy you.

Try not to leave her in the "dust", to often, they really get upset about that! She seems to "goose it", from stops fairly well! gratz.

She's okay with my random bursts of speed. We have Scala Rider communicators, so I warn her when I'm about to open it up a little. I've even heard her giggle while I pull the front off the ground. She knows I'll slow back down and let her catch up. In fact, on Sunday's ride, she actually left me in the dust and trying to catch up .

She's doing great and knows to ride within her comfort zone. She listens really well when I give advice, and her confidence grows the more she rides.

This gives me great confidence watching her ride. I have a 400 and so far have only ridden a test drive on it. I tried riding when I got home and had trouble with the tilt lock and dropped it twice. I am having my seat shaved a bit and hope this will help with the balance issue. I just couldn't get my feet close enough to the ground to feel well balanced.
