Philuminati - Phil Gaimon's NEW RULES OF CYCLING

I like e-bikes!

A great training aid! Trying to keep up with a little old granny nailing it up a hill is way harder work than any VO2max session :rofl:

e-scooter. It would seem you are all talking about something different than what I think of as an e-scooter. When I think of electric scooter, I think of a Gogoro. What are you referring to?

:man_facepalming:t2:I’ve been out of the USA too long. I totally forgot about those things being called scooters. :sweat_smile:

Lots of the scooters around here will do 50-70kms/hr. Not legally, of course.
Like most things, you do something stupid and realise you’re being a dick.

That’s completely nuts.

Yup. Totally nuts.
It’s been hard trying to explain to friends that they need to be prepared to fall off at that speed.

I’ve never been on one of these things, but I must assume the brakes are shit. And the handling at speed must be, hmmm, interesting.
