I commute to work but a section of road has shut down indefinitely due to some chemical fire contamination. It's been down for 3 weeks. That section had bike/walk shared paths/lanes. I now have to commute through a section of Grass, dirt, gravel and mud. I only travel 25kmh max. One time I set my speed to max and used the road to keep up with traffic. Ride was way easier but scarier. Gone back down to 25kph and dirt/grass/mud but looking at options so I feel safer riding at speed. Thanks for the video

Im considering developing a carbon fiber toe / side foot gaurd to prevent feet and toes from breaking..

[@hydro8728]

Maybe some chest and back armor as well depending on how fast your scooter goes.

[@daveErides]

Yes, I highly recommend it!

[@Vmaxfodder]

PPE is always great idea ! Had my front end explode for too much power in the front end 12kw front motor.

[@dlv1l240]

i got a motorcycle style helmet for my e scooter that goes around 35 do you think i should get gloves too?

[@lordazurusch.9550]

Yes... Get it... Mine saved my hands from being grated like cheese kn the road when i fell of my scooter and on a wet road

[@solodestiny8213]

Bro are going to war

[@daveErides]

A war with the ground is one you do not want to loose lol.

[@swaveman9434]

thank ordering the elbow pad because i fell today and sprained my elbow

[@swaveman9434]

sadly they are out of stock

[@daveErides]

Wishing you a fast recovery!

[@CrazyScooterMods]

One thing you missed is the carbon fiber backpacks. They reduce sliding distance on your back and can prevent the back of your head from touching the ground.. assuming your backpack isnt filled with a lot of hard objects.
The most important of all safety gear is a 126db horn and practicing defensive driving. Its better to prevent crashing than it is to be prepared to crash.
If you cant power slide your scooter around a right hand turn at 30+ mph.. practice it..thats the only way to stop very fast in a very short distance when a car pulls out in front of you. if you can power slide a right turn at 30+ mph.. you can turn a scooter sideways and lean back to stop in emergency situations.
All of these on the list have saved my life multiple times. Good luck

I see so many riders with Crocs and slides on! I always take my slides off and put on my sneakers!

[@budzlightyear2212]

Who the hell wears steel toe work boots to scoot ?😂

[@utvm6748]

My new scabs would have thanked me

[@The_Cannabis_Connoisseur]

Right! Just wear motorcycle boots! If you wear sneakers when you ride a motorcycle if you get in an accident that's the first thing you'll see on the ground is the person sneakers and most people usually get a broken heel because they put their feet down when going fast

[@CrazyScooterMods]

All research on helmets done by colleges have the same results for scooters of all speeds. The impact points are most commonly the side, back, and top of the head. Having a motorcycle helmet with a hardended front and a soft back is not ideal. any motorcross helmet should be legit as long as its rated for multiple impact.. and careful with built in visors.. i know a guy that crashed a scooter at 40 mph and the visor did him in

[@rippingj6017]

Have you had to grease your bearings in the rotary head yet,mine alittle notchy i guess they don't pack it with grease, im not looking forward to take the controller box out to get at the bearings looks kinda tough to do.

[@daveErides]

I have not so far.

[@dylanans2833]

I’ve got my gtr on pre order, how many miles have you done and have you needed to maintenance

[@daveErides]

I've done a bit over 300 miles now and havn't done any maintenance besides checking bolts before each ride.

[@realbuckwell]

I swear ppl get scooters just to dress up like a riot police to think they look cool

[@daveErides]

You can't be serious lol.

[@TheUnkind]

And trolls make comment like this just feel good about themselves

[@Pjpuglife]

Most people are embassed to wear gear, not saying that's s good thing.

[@PALADINKILLIAN-1403]

and people who dont wear them think they badass or something

[@editzbywalt]

Crash at 40 mph an hour and see what’s gonna happen 😂
