I’ve been calling these dweebs gizmo duck for years lol
What happens when the battery dies and you become a projectile? A guy tools around on one of these in my neighborhood and it seems orders of magnitude less safe than even motorcycling.
Now I want to see a really good Gizmoduck cosplay.
Gizmoduck
It’s been around bro . Ever seen a compact disk?
Blathering blatherskite!
Everyone of age heard this in his voice which makes it even more awesome
Does every city have one of these guys? Although this one doesn’t have the small rearview mirrors on his helmet.
Life is like a hurricane,

Bikers: “Cars are too safe. I’d like to do away with lateral stability, crumple zones and a roof.”
This dude: “…Hold my beer.”
that thing is still safer than a car. by so much they aren’t even in the same league.
unless you get hit be a car. because the car is the danger.
I very strongly disagree. If you’re taking those things on roads you are very, very much in danger. To brake you need to physically shift your entire body instead of just moving a hand or foot, and they have motor brakes instead of friction braking.

Cars don’t get speed wobbles. Cars have 3 extra wheels in case one wheel hits something slippery.
however you don’t reach deadly speeds, while a car at its minimum speed is lethal to everyone outside of it
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
And, jokes aside, that dude is dressed to handle the fallout much better than anyone who ever got behind the wheel of a car.
Am actually really interested in the safety stats. Would guess on those things you aren’t doing more than 40, so probably not too bad for rider vs e.g. motorbikes where the temptation is to crazy speeds. And with it being smaller/lighter than a car it’s clearly safer for pedestrians and other vehicles.
Some of the more expensive ones are advertised to go 100+ kph
what joke? I there is no way to say a car is safer than that.
Dude.
Ideology is a hell of a drug lmao
I realize you’re joking, but the vehicles considered to be the first motor car and first motorcycle were both created in the same year, FYI - neither is a response to the other.
