Kick or el-start?
Do most of you utilize the electric start? Or light your Rattlers off by kick-starting?

Being as the Rat'ler is the first scooter I've owned with electric start, I'm using it! I do, however, find it easier to hold the rear brake in while twisting the throttle on a cold start. Takes a little getting used to. On Buddy it doesn't need much throttle when starting, so I can usually hold the front brake while I give it a little gas.
And there is a lot to be said for being able to bump a manual shift scooter while coasting down an alley (or someone's steep driveway).
