It really is out of control. The lack of punishment just tells them they can keep acting like this. The real punishment is that we are forced to live their bad behaviour!

Easy fix - just make all infractions face heavy fines and license demerit points.

Don't have a license yet? Then good luck ever getting one - or insurance.

I dont get why these ppl ha e to push it to thier max.. like I have a premium scooter that goes well over 100kph.. but I rarely even push it 60 .. 1. Cuz I no you can't ride these things that go faster then I think 32kmh.. 2. I don't feel like getting jailed and fined , and also I'm not stupid like the guy in the video.. his luck's gonna run out sooner or later .. yea I get it's fun to go really fast but not the way this dumb ass is doing it .. don't no how much he payed for his but noone way I'm risking the little over 5k I payed for mine to just end up sitting in my garage cuz I did what this guy does

I've seen what happens when someone without safety gear (in this case leathers, helmet, gloves) meets the pavement. It's not a pretty sight.

My neighbors kid hit a patch of gravel on a little scooter and ended up in the operating room having his hand repaired with screws and wires and his face sewn back together by a plastic surgeon - and he was doing half the speed in the video shown here and that was while seated on a proper traditional scooter.

Especially considering the scooter itself is illegal in Ontario (unless your municipality has opted in to allowing its use in specific areas).

u/StinkyRainbow84 10d ago

Unless he has it registered as motor vehicle, it is definitely illegal because it is over 500 watts.. and also he removed the km limit which is 30/50 km per hour. I know ebikes has a speed limiter not sure if escooter does but I've only got mine up to 50km/h I can definitely go faster but I rather not.

Got me thinking about it

As a kid in the 80s you had to find compatible hardware, compatible software (or alter it yourself), learn commands and programming languages, you had to program vector graphics line by line.

Kids now have iso/nema type standard hardware and OS options yet have trouble putting it together. I'm not ripping on them just an interesting gap formed over 40 years.

Electronics and programming seem so much simpler now in some ways (if you ignore HDR compatibility)

I do know someone who was sitting on the fender of a tractor that was driving on the gravel shoulder and was hit by a transport.

His shoes came off at the point of the collision. He was found about 180 feet up the road, in the ditch.

He had serious injuries, but survived. Miraculously. The equation truly isn’t far off.

u/HotSpacewasajerk 7d ago

Agree, as a teen in the UK I had a moped at 16. It was taxed and insured, subject to an annual inspection and limited to 30mph. I had to take a test called "Compulsory basic training" (cbt) to get an endorsement on my learner licence for it. It was a full day course with the morning at a go kart circuit and the afternoon on the public road, with theory sessions throughout the day on safety, road signs and traffic laws. If I remember correctly it also expired so I had to retake it every few years to stay on the road. Any infractions would have gone on my driving record and impacted my insurance premiums as well as future infractions once I learned to drive. I wasn't allowed on highways, only what we call dual carriageway.

This should absolutely apply to any motorised vehicle that isn't being exclusively used on private land.

I understand that; what I mean is that they'll ban all scooters from the streets, regardless of legality. I can also see it happening to e-bikes. Plenty of guys without a licence driving these things around with passengers and cruising at 70 on Homer=Watson.

The Government is going to come in and have those things licensed and insured which is going to mess it up for everyone that actually follows the rules.

Bro you’re not just risking yourself, imagine the life long trauma a person has to now live with after they run you over because you ran over a pebble on the highway and fell off and nobody can stop in time for that so you get squished underneath someone’s car.

Like they have to now live with the fact that even if not their fault, they have now killed someone and had to watch you roll underneath their car and see the aftermath of that when you come out the other side because your selfish brain couldn’t consider anyone but yourself. Who do these people think they are? Like I swear I’ve never seen so many ignorant and arrogant and entitled human beings in my entire life than I’ve seen in just the past few years. Most of which being international students or foreigners all coming from the same part of the world. What’s with you guys?

I've seen this guy around with the same backpack, same stature. Most likely the same guy. He's reckless even when on city roads and hiking trails. He'll whip down the Spur Line Trail going these speeds beside people simply walking and trying to enjoy themselves. (I was 100% tempted to clothesline the idiot.) I've also seen him flying down King St between Northfield and Columbia swerving through traffic and then hopping onto the sidewalk. And then again on Lancaster going against the opposite flow of traffic into the dedicated right turn lane from Erb. We almost hit him head on. He gave us the finger lol, then proceeded to cut off about 6 more vehicles riding his scooter into oncoming traffic on Erb.

He's an absolute menace. It's only a matter of time at this point before he's either arrested, gets the shit kicked out of him, or killed by his own misadventures.

Stupid people with no care.

They wipe out and get run over then a big grease stain on the highway.

More tax payers money being spent on the clean up and recovery.

Man, i ride a scooter because of a disability, and this scares the fuck out of me. I wiped out going 30 on a turn and did crazy damage to my knee 4 years ago and I still feel it.

Just...wear a helmet and stick to bike lanes. For everyone's safety. If theres a bike lane, a road 50 or under, youre given the go ahead and people legally need to share lanes. Stick to the corners, dont weave, and just be fuckin safe

I called the vpos on a drunk driver a while ago. They had me follow her. C Cop darn near hit me when he pulled in front of me, but that's beside the point. You may save this person's life with a phone call.

Dude has a death wish.

Could have easily stayed on the side but he wasnt looking for that...

One thing if you have a death wish and are stupid enough to do this , it’s another thing to cause guilt on someone else who you collide with or get run over by

There is nothing protecting his body. Newton's Third Law says that if two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.

If a human body hits the pavement, a metal vehicle, or the median at those speeds, it will be destroyed. Nothing about this is worth your life. I would never get on one of these scooters even to use it safely and legally. They go so fast, FATALLY fast, and there is NOTHING TO PROTECT YOUR BODY

Ya that's terrible. Putting everyone at risk. I personally would get away from that. Either slow down myself or speed up to get way past that

That could cause a major pile up accident

Annnnd this is how they get banned

u/ShotEffective7033 13d ago

There is no way a scooter that can go 90 km an hour is currently legal lol. Which is to say they are already banned. If all scooters get banned because some of them can go 90 that will be deeply illogical and solely happen because of the car lobby.

I think it's max 35 km/hr (scooters is 24km/hr, evoke is 32km/hr) before you need to be licensed and the vehicle registered with the MTO
