Yeah, but like, why would the vehicle need to structurally be limited to speed if you have no wish of driving above that speed anyway?
My point is that we allow cars to go much faster than the speed limit. Why not scooters? But also,I acknowledge the reality, which is they’re unregulated and mostly driven by non-sober young-ish people. And plenty of crashes happen. (I’ve been in several myself, albeit I wouldn’t count myself among the young per se.)
If you want to ride your e-scooter at 100mph go for it, I do not give 2 shits. As I said in my initial post, I do not want to go that fast because I already feel when I am going 15mph it is too fast.
If you want to argue about regulation go for it, but that was not what my comment was about, it was about my personal feelings regarding myself.
If you owned a Bugatti Chiron, would you drive it at 300 mph? Because that’s how fast it goes.
When’s the last time you drove your car as fast as it goes?
I do not want to go that fast because I already feel when I am going 15mph it is too fast.
So should we ban all cars which can exceed speed limits? Or like… could we rely on people just not using the full power at their disposal, and obeying a speed limit?
Idk, seems to me it’s more or less worked for cars so…
Yeah. You can take them on a course and you can drive them at top speed.
That wasn’t the question. The question was how often do you actually use the top speed on an average vehicle? The answer is “practicallynever”.
Yet you’re pretending like the same doesn’t apply for scooters and people would be blazing 100mph all the time if the scooter has a top speed of 100mph.
You’re perfectly fine having several ton weighing machines which can do like 120-300mph on the roads and trust that people will behave with them, but something that’s 40 times lighter and has at most double the top speed somehow can’t be driven responsibly?
You’re defending his argument, while refusing to answer my very simple “why would you drive a scooter at 100% speed all the time when you do that with literally no other vehicle, be it a car or a push bike?”
The double standard is because I felt invincible then, now I throw my knee out getting off the toilet.

Dont be a dolt. People with cars like that take them on closed tracks and indeed may go all the way to top speed.

“Don’t be a dolt.”
I am pretending no such thing, as I am not who you were arguing with, you churlish jackass. Now begone, Ive blocked you and your nonsense.

So yeah. Stop being a “churlish dolt”
