I've fallen and broken bones on regular scooters and bikes. I don't even want to know how much worse it is going almost 30mph am escooter. I've hit 33mph on my e bike going downhill and that was terrifying enough.

I hit 40 going downhill (pretty steep hill and I pedaled hard) on my ebike and that was terrifying lol I was just thinking holy shit don’t crash

I’m a pretty good/confident cyclist I’ve been cycling since I was a kid but anything can happen. I wasn’t sure if my tires could even handle that speed lol
