    Wtf that’s like 70km/h. 40 starts to get sketchy even on 26x5 fat tires with suspension. On those tiny little shit pucks the rider will have numb wrists and a real shit time considering literally nowhere has perfect pavement.

    43mph on a scooter is incredibly fast. I have one that go 25mph and that is too much for me. 15-20 is my pref for urban riding.

      With those tiny wheels I imagine this would feel scary as hell. I’ve been ~45mph on my ebike and that’s quite scary even with big wheels. You had better wear a helmet AND a diaper if you’re taking this thing up to 43mph on anything but a perfectly paved track. It takes 1 pothole to turn you into a quarter mile long red streak on the pavement.

    I saw two guys riding those monowheel things in 5 pm traffic on a 50mph road today, didn’t know they could go that fast, it was crazy

      Lol, most of the time I’d agree with you, but I’m gonna have to pass on the 43mph escooter. Too many potholes around here.

    Completely pointless as regulation is being brought up to limit them. My country already has limit of 25km/h in place and other rules for scooters.
