You have no fucking clue what a deadly speed is. One of these hitting you kills you a significant portion of the time, and these will actively kill their riders at a way higher clip. This is a dumb hill to die on. Cars have elaborate safety standards. These do not.
that thing won't reach deadly speeds, especially if you wear protection.
the risk that riding that gives is from other cars.
even with all the elaborate safety standards, cars are more dangerous than cheap bikes who's only safety are helmets.
A bit telling how you mentioned care safety standards that are only for the driver and not the people around the car. Maybe think of other people
I HAVE LITERALLY SEEN THESE REACH DEADLY SPEED
Cars have safety standards for pedestrians. Oh my fucking God.
Lol, what safety standards for pedestrians? the only safety standards for cars regarding pedestrians is legal.
