Just yesterday I witnessed a pretty gruesome scooter accident right in front of me on the sidewalk in Berlin. The young woman was just riding down the sidewalk bike lane, nothing at all out of the ordinary, and the scooter just slipped right out from under her on some slippery wet leaves. She went headlong into a tree and was left with a bloody nose on the ground. Her friends stayed with her until the ambulance came.

I was happy I did not relive it in my dreams last night.

I have two friends that wiped out on stand up electric scooters resulting in knee injuries. And actually another that did the same on a gas powered one. So I'm thinking these things are generally unsafe.

ouch. it's one of the top questions in driving school: dangers of wet leaves in autumn to bicycles (electric, ICE or muscle driven)
