E-bikes have relatively huge wheels. These interact with any bumbs, curbwalls, pot-holes, rocks in much more safe manner. This with stability makes them to me much safer.
Still does not do much difference when crashing to someone or something or someone crashing into you.
- lostlogin 1y agoI was on a road bike with a peloton and half of us hit a pothole that was ~25cm deep when going at 50kmh. We had a few popped tubes and a damaged (but rideable) wheel. Good luck on a scooter. You’re a meat pencil.
- saagarjha 1y agoI think the part that saved you here is going 50 kmph. I've wiped out on 2.5 cm at half those speeds.
- nutjob2 1y agoYes the determining factor is the length of the pothole, ie distance traveled over air, together with speed, which determines how far you fall before hitting the other side.
- 4ggr0 1y ago> ~25cm deep can this still be called a pothole, lol? at which point does a pothole become a hole...
