You need to take a couple of lessons on left hand drive scooters. They're a bit trickier than they look.

People cross their arms when they try riding a left hand drive scooter - usually it all goes wrong on then first corner.

Well that's one of the big problems, the other is the opposable steering.

Don't worry about left hand drive scooters, they're not as tricky as they sound. Just remember the indicator switch is the opposite way round - push left to indicate right and vice versa. After riding an hour or so you'll be used to it. Hope that helps.

you need to check a spanish higway code.
you can get them in English rules for mopeds are different they can go through red lights and ride on the pavement for instance.
Fit birds in short skirts on the back are optional

You can ride a scooter under 50 cc here in Spain, from 14 years old!
Spanish highway code, whats that?? Everything on the roads here is basically point and shoot! so be warned if you hire one.

C'mon chaps, he couldn't be expected to know that scooters are different too!

Hope you get the hand of the indicators out there, most people don't bother with them as it's very confusing the other way around.
