    No.

    But put that technology in an electric motorbike that requires a licence, registration and insurance - Hell Yeah!

    Here’s an interesting clip.

      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.

    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.

      Fuck pebbles, I got one lodged into some 54mm 95s once. I was able to tuck and roll into some grass but the wheel rolled funny after that.

    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.
