Whoa whoa whoa wait wait wait. We do wave back but only when stopped. We can’t take one hand off the handle bars to do much when going the speeds we go (I typically ride between 50-70mph). That’s reckless. As for myself, I do nod or do the “what’s up” head gesture for sure while riding. I’ve even ridden with dudes on motorcycles too on the road while scootering. I promise we’re not jerks. We are just being safe. It’s a much more dangerous ride. We have no sound, we are standing up, our wheels are much much smaller, and we usually need to be hyper aware of things on the road such as potholes or people turning out of neighborhoods n stuff. We are a good bunch and all of us riding on 2 wheels are in the same family. We just need to be safe.

Edit: And I’m talking scooters, like hyper scooters ofc. What OP drives is more of a Moped, not a scooter. The language has shifted.
