All these new creators on YouTube who review and unbox gear owe a debt of gratitude to one of the OG reviewers since 2006.

There are a few mental references you must alter when switching from an electric to non-electric or "Kick" scooter, and host Dagwood Streets illustrates but a few. Since he has been kick scootering a whopping 2 whole weeks he considers himself a "Master" already and thus qualified to teach the world. A couple tips: --On a kick scooter, don't ride down curbs in the same way you would on an electric scooter because it requires a different skill --You can easily learn to ride up curbs on a kick scooter but it is NOT recommended on an electric scooter --Use your paddle foot to lift the kick scooter over obstacles like pavement cracks and changes in ground surface

The main topic of this episode is urban planning and to that end we interview Andy, founder of Speakeasy Media at CES in Las Vegas. Also, when we say "Safety," it may not be what you think because not everyone agrees we all should wear helmets, but ESP strives to present as many sides of scootering as possible; there are those who feel whether to wear or not wear a helmet is an individual right.

Paul Somerville of the Electric Scooter Guide (ESG) recently presented an ESG YouTube video called "Top 10 Long Range Electric Scooters - 85 Fully Tested" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXFn0pdXbQY&t=20s and in this episode we dissect and comment on their choices.

Dagwood teased in previous episodes that he was going to buy a new scoot, but in this episode you will realize it is probably not what you expected. Is it click bait or just an unusual twist? Dagwood also compares 3 kick scooters, the Razor A6, the Xootr line (mainly the MG, which stands for "magnesium") and the Micro Suspension. The company is "Micro" and the model is "Suspension." What are the Pros and Cons of an electric vs kick scooter? Find out in this episode!
