No, my scooter has full suspension. I can hit a one inch high obstruction without a problem. Makes a bang but I don't come off. I have fallen off twice in wet

No, my scooter has full suspension. I can hit a one inch high obstruction without a problem. Makes a bang but I don't come off.
I have fallen off twice in wet weather. Once whilst going round a corner and another on wet autumn leaves. You instinctively stick your left or right foot out, trip, and put your hands out to break your fall. You don't go over the handle bars or anything. You land on your hips or knees then hands, in that order. The scooter slides away. So now I wear gloves because I grazed my hands the first time. You also feel like an idiot for falling off a 'toy'
I bought an after market gum wheel to replace the too-hard stock back wheel and the grip is a lot better in wet weather now.

- davidhyde 8y agoI would say that you're more likely to have an accident on a scooter than a bike but it's less likely to be more serious. Kind of like the difference between being tripped while running and someone pushing you off a bike. Your body has a better chance at protecting itself in the former case.
- walshemj 8y agoDepends on circumstance in my case: 1 Came of descending a hill hit black ice (in traffic) - no problems 2 Tripped on paving stone in London - gave my self concussion and had to take the day off.
