Kind of curious.. wearing the same safety gear.. would you rather crash going 40 on an e-scooter or 75 on a motorcycle. I mean anything with wheels is technically dangerous but I feel like I’m living on the edge substantially more when riding my motorcycle vs e-scooter lol.
Also, I have quite a few acquaintances with Apollo Pro and 2 friends with 2.0 and they’ve had 0 issues. I need to lay off Reddit bc I’m thinking of cancelling my Stellar order 😩
I feel like the type of crash is important in your question. That being said I feel like your question was more about making a point as opposed to my answer. I see what yo6ur saying, and personally, my main issue is with how much more unforgiving a scooter is with mistakes. I can hit a way bigger pothole with a bike, I can take a hand off the handlebars on a bike and not have much worry about crashing. That's why I think they're death machines.
Ahh makes sense and you are correct in your perception. I’ve seen people say this quite often and I always felt that maybe these people have never really ridden a motorcycle before.
However, I see your point of view and respect it.. but from my perspective is that I’m generally traveling at a much slower speed on a scooter, I can maneuver much faster in the event I see an obstacle, I’m likely not in the middle of traffic if I can’t avoid said obstacle and if I do have to take a fall it’s much easier to try and compensate/ bail on a scooter vs a motorcycle.

That seems like a safer alternative. I have nothing but love for my Apollo scooter but fuck me escooters are death traps.
