Spot on, you really do have to try it and see. They just want to tip you forward. Still, not as bad as those electric wheel things that you stand astride, bloody lethal!

I am deeply disappointed that the government missed the opportunity to introduce the scooters on the same day that the pubs opened. That would have been epic.
I don't suppose many scooterists spend their entire time crouched with their centre of gravity about 2 foot from the ground.

That scooterist didn't either.
Either way, prepared for it.

Rather unsporting of him.
Yes, far more entertaining to have some yoof spring out with a knife and see how quick he stops/steers out the way.

I wonder how safe these e-scooters are when giant venom-spitting bats with chainsaws attack?

He wasn't crouched down at all for most of the stops shown.
That remains a major concern.
Whatever. It's staged.

I may have done a good 20 mph down the hill from my house on one of the kid's micro scooters, with the other scooter over my shoulder on the way to collect them (the kids) from Primary.

I'm pretty sure the vandalism happens when they are not on hire and just parked. Therefore, it would be unfair to bill the last hirer as he or she may have parked it responsibly.£1k Or higher deposit on a swiped credit card should limit
