Like Mick said i would not advise anyone who does not ride a bike in the UK to hire a scooter in my opinion it is an accident just waiting to happen especially if its a young teenager with no riding experience at all
I myself usually hire one and through no fault of my own have had a couple of close shaves in Corfu and have been riding a motorcycle for 35 years as well as racing at international level
If you do hire one just remember you are at the bottom of the food chain on a scooter and to my mind as a rule the bigger the vehicle on the road the higher up the food chain you become ,so always give way to cars vans lorries etc even if it means pulling in to let them past it's better to do that than end up being scrapped off of the tarmac and spending your holiday in Corfu hospital
The amount of times i have seen folks with no experience attempting to ride a scooter makes me cringe
I know this post may sound negative and me being a bit of a kill-Joy but i do know what it's like to get knocked off a bike and believe me it HURTS
If you do hire 1 keep your eyes peeled and concentrate on the road at all times in front of you and behind you
Infact on 1 of Terry Ws videos he hits a pothole and you hear him use a couple of expletives if he had have been on a scooter the chances are he would have been laid in the road after hitting it
Anyway have fun and ride safe & have a cracking holiday
