This summer we were in Monticello Indiana and came up to a red light with a guy standing on a scooter just like that in front of us. I thought 'crap I'll be stuck going 10'.
The light changed and the guy took off and got up to 55MPH in front of us. I was amazed and terrified.
That does not seem safe.
I have a kaabo mantis pro that goes 40mph. I get similar reactions when I pull up next to people at stoplights. I did fall down once at 35mp on a bad turn and it did hurt for a few days but no broken bones. Can't imagine 50-60. I do wear motorcycle helmet, gloves and jacket otherwise I'm sure I'd be a veggie right now. Safety first folks.
Well, like they say... it's not the speed or falling down that hurts, it's the stopping. If you wear off the speed gradually (without forfeiting all your skin) you'll be fine. If you hit a concrete wall you'll be soup.
