Been riding Scooterchics scooter for back and forth commuting duringbhe week and am surpise how easy it is to getthrough the traffic. Its even quicker than my other bike, now sadly deceased.
Was wondering what bike you had that you found better than you expected in city traffic, filtering and such.
its not the bike, its the way you ride it, ie leave brain at home and go for any gap no matter how small – the most important thing for filtering is a good set of boots for when some tw@ cuts you up, a load exhaust generally moves people out the way too…
I also read somewhere that having a coloured front headlight makes the cagers notice you quicker and more likely to pull out of the way.. a normal white light doesnt get their attention ….. talking on their phones again!
my Varadildo is quite good for filtering because of the height, you can see above most vehicles and yer ed’s about level with the top of 4×4’s. The headlight is “in yer face” and most decent drivers pull over.
anything tall preferable with bark breakers so your levers dont get damaged when they take out the mirrors lol
