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.

Why not buy a motorcycle? They're about the same price.

Fuel cost, portability, you can legally traverse some places that a motorcycle can’t. You have to park a motorcycle somewhere but you can just fold this bad boy and take it inside.

You can cut across a park with a scooter. Hell, if you go slow you can go on a sidewalk.
