Why didn't she use the rear foot brake? If you're going down a hill, you will definitely want to hover your back foot on the brake.
The foot brake can't malfunction because you are physically pressing the rear guard against the wheel with downward force. If the user isn't aware of the rear brake, that's user error.
That said, maybe lime scooters don't have rear brakes?
The other thing is, these scooters are great. I wouldn't rent one, because you don't know if the last person was doing jumps and stunts on it, which they are not designed for. But they are amazing little transport devices which help people get to their destination quicker.
- alphabettsy 8y agoMaybe she didn’t know it had one, which is one of the major problems with any type of rental device. A rental device that a user isn’t familiar with is subject to misuse by uninformed users. Imagine if we allowed car rentals to people who had never driven before or bike rentals for people who never learned to drive. I’m not suggesting there should be a license for these and maybe that’s just the cost of having them.
