I see an increase in the dashcam videos with someone on a 100mph scooter wiping out or crashing into a vehicle.
Better wear full on motorcycle gear when riding these things and have your will up to date.
I saw a one wheel guy doing at least 40mph the other day. He was all kitted out in leathers and a very blinky helmet. Looked like a motorcycle that the front had fallen off of.
If you go frame by frame you can literally see the moment they stop being human and start being raspberry jam

Half-Life gibbed sound effect
Something with the people that idiot hits on the way.
Can't wait to see someone riding this at 100 mph in the bike lane, wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops.
Make it two people.
I'll see your two people and raise you to the whole family, Vietnam-style.
Make it two drunk people.
100 mph on the highway between the lanes like sport bike riders...
That’s a meat crayon machine
At the 100 mph with such small wheels, you would not have enough time to react between when a small rock appeared clearly in view and when it stops you dead in your tracks.
I would know as someone who faceplanted after a skateboard wheel hit a pebble so small I never saw it.
I’d like to laws requiring a larger minimum diameter on e-scooter wheels.
Wow, you stirred up an old memory of Garrett Hill's Coffee Slam
Great illustration of a pro skateboard vs a pebble.

yeah this is why I switched to longboards with big goofy soft wheels. they eat pebbles and cracks

This should be regulared. At the very least, require any user to be an organ donor
Bold of you to assume there will be organs left.
No.
But put that technology in an electric motorbike that requires a licence, registration and insurance - Hell Yeah!
Here's an interesting clip.
Rhetorical question? Of course not.
When I was 20 I would have gone for this in a heartbeat, now at almost 50 I find myself thinking 15mph is too fast on my escooter.

Well, that's fucking stupid.
Yay, murder suicide machines are here!
Excuse me, but the preferred nomenclature is "meat crayon dispenser".
Until you find yourself in the path of one of those assholes, then it's either lights out or maybe continue life as a vegetable
These things must be prohibited, period

No way the brakes can handle that.
I mean they'd help with overpopulation.
While that is true, it will also reduce overpopultation with regards to his victims.
When I was walking my dog's in the park late at night I watched a dude eat total shit on one of those mono wheel things. It was on pavement, and he got pretty scraped up. I can't imagine how wrecked a person should get if they were going 100mph on a scooter.
Motorcycles have terrible brakes to begin with. That thing probably takes ten football fields to stop.

That thing can't be interstate legal. But it would be really funny until it isn't
No.
... but I want one.
Excellent Darwin tool 😆
Lmao, 100mph is illegal in many European countries. Even in highways.
Lol, natural selection.
People need to stop trying to thwart natural selection when it comes to intelligence.
