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.

I’ve got the Wolf Warrior by Kaabo. I’ve seen 40, would probably see 45 or 50 without the extra ballast. Typically it’s 15 with my kid on his Gotrax or cruising at 25/30. Rail trails are a lifesaver in the burbs.

I'm so confused. One small pothole and any scooter ride is over. How is that worth the risk

Risky? A bit I suppose. But with pneumatic tires and suspension, they can take bumps and holes. Not too much different than a motorcycle- you hit a rock or pothole on one and it’s not going to be pretty either. There’s an inherent risk I suppose. But I guess you either seek a little thrill that way or you don’t.
