- tonyedgecombe 6y agoBigger wheels.
- missosoup 6y agoLike... Like a bike?
- fragmede 6y agoYeah! But without the ridiculous pedaling nonsense. So... not like a bike.
- esperent 6y agoLike an e-bike then?
- saberdancer 6y agoLike the bicycles from 19th century, bigger front wheel.
- EugeneOZ 6y agoHappens with bikes as well. People wear helmets for a reason.
- daemin 6y agoAnd as it turns out the proponents of helmet wearing for bicycles are car companies. Bike helmets don't really do much to protect the front or sides of the face, only impacts directly to the top of the head. So people wearing helmets riding on bikes are mostly doing it for legal not safety reasons, regardless if they know it or not.
- opportune 6y agoRide it on good roads and use your good judgment regarding speed vs. quality of the road. You can also decrease your tire pressure if you want, though that has drawbacks. I just don't see this as much of a problem. I think mine maxes out somewhere between 15-20 mph
