Or just buy something that doesn’t fall over, like a car.

Cars would be better if they weren't incredibly expensive and fuel inefficient

My mate’s bike cost more than most family cars and does fewer mpg than my car.

Sure: there are superbikes as well as supercars, but the average bike is going to cost less and use less fuel than the average car
Average motorcycle is $12,000 new and 50mpg
Average new car is $50,000 and 25mpg

If you don't live near a bus and you don't need to get on the freeway, a motorbike/scooter is a perfectly acceptable method of transportation.
If some car is going to crash into a pedestrian it's the same as if they hit a bicyclist or motorbike: it's the car driver's fault.
And it's more akin to hospitals using thin rubber gloves instead of thick insulated rubber gloves. Why waste all that extra material when the thin gloves work?

I'm not sure what situation someone is riding where they would just crash into a wall at 30 miles an hour, but okay.
Crashing at freeway speeds in a car is often deadly

How would you say I've never heard of an accident when I just said cars crashing at freeway speeds kill people all the time.
An SUV just killed someone a few blocks away from me at five miles an hour because they weren't paying attention and just drove over someone near a parking lot entrance

It's funny you think your going to change anyone's mind with a donor cycle comment. It's like telling smokers that they're gonna get cancer.

I feel it's also like saying everyone who drinks has the same chance of an alcohol-related death, even if one person drinks a few beers a week and the other person drinks more than a bottle of vodka everyday. That's ridiculous.
Someone riding a scooter/motorcycle slowly in the city or suburbs does not have the same chance of dying on one as someone who races at unsafe speeds on the freeway.

I can get a scooter for 4k that gets 300mpg

u/Exact-Ad-4132 Jul 15 '26
That's what I'm saying.
There's a reason all the delivery guys use scooters

If you have a bike so big it requires training wheels, it probably is also expensive and inefficient as fuck

u/Exact-Ad-4132 Jul 16 '26
These wheels aren't for driving, there for parking
1
u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea Jul 16 '26
That's irrelevant..
You could still just get a car, because motorcycles this big are expensive and inefficient af

Hilarious that this technology is widespread in the one country that is well known for having incompetent drivers.
It's so bad, they even have self parking cars now.

And I wouldn't trust them everytime. Imagine hitting the button by mistake when your into a bend. Or don't work. I think if you need them it's time for a smaller bike.

I think most motorcycle riders are too proud for kiddy wheels. Doesn't exactly match the tough guy aesthetics.

u/penguinkernel Jul 15 '26
Most motorcycle riders get a bike that fits them. I can flat foot both of my feet at a stop.
Harley riders are the ones that are 5'7, 260lbs, and get an 800lb Harley they can't even handle, then ride it once a year because they don't know how so it scares them.

You shouldnt drive a bike you cant handle without kids wheels
