Seems like you and karma are gonna have plenty more run ins🥴🫣

Dude that's crazy

Wow bro you are lucky. Slow down on turns and when you cant see far ahead. Also slow down on the paths. Glad you are ok.

Riding like this is what gives them reason to make laws. Takes the fun away 😮‍💨

Sorry but this is exactly why we will have stricter regulations very soon with regards to electric recreational vehicles like scooters and bikes.. Riders aren't using enough common sense on walk paths and roads so they can show off or make videos.. It's one thing if you are going fast where it's safe to do so but come on man, you're blowing by people on a public walking path in a park.. When we start getting taxed or harsh regulations you can thank riders just like this and all those sur-ron type bikes blowing by cars on the road.. You're ruining it for the legitimate people that just want to ride to have fun or commute to work. You can ride these things and still be respectful.

E-Scooters are great hybrid vehicles. When you're on the road, you're "a car". When you're on a bike path, you're a "bike". When you're on a walkway (including sidewalks), you're a "pedestrian". Still, the main reason this particular fall happened was the rider riding the wrong way down the bike/run path to "cut the corner". The same thing happend less than a minute before when a pedestrian was along the edge of the road. In short, what I've learned to do on e-scooters are two things for these situations: 1) ride like a car/bike and stay in the same lane, with traffic, and 2) slow down and give right of way to people, including walkers/runners, and slower vehicles, including bicycles and e-bikes (if they're going slower).

reason why regulations are sharpened. Shame to your driving skills. Ya not alone on the road and it is not yours. thumbs down from me!

Stock tires?

Go somewhere like forest service road to soar

Literally let others hate scooters and city ban it completely

This is exactly why there is a speed limit bylaw

What happened? Sand slip? Skidding on sand?

This has to be the most perfect commute

It appears you learned nothing from it either. You were going way to fast around a corner and then after all that you continued to travel way to fast for this multi use path. People like you are the reason cities want scooters banned

you deserved that crash. Slow down when there's other people around you ffs....

pros and cons of the scooter so far for you ? how well does it fit into the trunk of a car? I have been thinking of getting one but want to be able to put it in my trunk with a few other things. I drive a 2015 mazda 6

I do this ride often. I love the stretch between the zoo and 64th. I ride a purple v2.

Definatelt a few moments in this ride where you were out of control and you didnt know it, spend some time on a mtb or bmx, your control will go up alot. And it will force you to stay safer as you will know the limitations of your vehicle and your skills.

Your putting your life in the hands of chance man. I rode bmx for years, one unfortunate crash and on the concrete and my life was changed forever, not worth it man, you are lucky to have suck an amazing vehicle, use it wisely, have fun, but stay safe.

Could tell that whole video you were going to crash, irresponsible rider smh

Yeah, this is way too fast. I get scared every time you pass someone.

What helmet are you wearing?

Dude SLOW down on walking paths when you see people walking SLOW DOWN your dangerous. Also it's your fault for leaning towards left lane and that was blind spot not good wear a protective gloves.

Have you heard the saying... It's better to be safe than sorry ? And there's another one... You should learn by your mistakes

The way he flying around the corners is scary especially with people walking and riding bikes

slow down on blindspots cuz you might collide with someone otherwise speed up how much u like

You are not a professional. You're not even a good rider.

Take it to the road guy. I have 5000+ miles on a ghost & get so much shit from others because people like you. I've never hurt anyone or myself, but you could have easily changed someone's life. You're spoiling the fun for everyone cause you're riding like a dick head.

I don't know why you left this up. It does not make you look cool. It makes you look like an idiot. Being a fellow hyper-scooter rider, I would normally be empathetic towards any crash, but not this time. You barrel through a blind corner, in the opposing lane, almost hit somebody and crash. Ok, a brief lack of judgement can happen to any of us. But then you get right back up, hit the throttle and almost hit a woman walking just a few corners later! You blow by pedestrians with their back to you, and blow right by dogs that will regularly lunge at scooters, expecting that they all heard your stupid little bell. Yeah, I know you've replied to other comments saying you've changed your ways, but I'm not buying it or you would have been embarrassed enough to remove this video. Even if you don't injure someone besides yourself, it's people like you that will get pedestrians and bicycle riders angry enough to complain and get escooters banned on bike paths. Grow up.

I appreciate you taking accountability for your complete recklessness and I hope you make the effort to change your ways because you are literally the type of individual that gives escooters a bad rep. Whipping past unaware pedestrians and running red lights etc. Straight up disrespectful and dangerous. I recently purchased a Phantom V2 and love it! Change your ways and don't be such a goof!

Nice riding but i would’ve slowed down on that blind curve

If you haven’t already I would get a full head helmet/ motorcycle helmet. My cousin went down on a skateboard going 20 mph and split his head open. Although you are wearing a helmet, it doesn’t seem to be covering the whole noggin. One fall on your face going at those speeds and you’re done. I would also reduce your speed on that path by like 10 mph you’re straight up wild going that fast😂. Stay safe and nice phantom . I’m pretty sure I’m going to get the ghost pretty soon.

Hi I’m looking to buy a phantom in Calgary but I’m so confused about the private vs shared laws / rules. I just want to ride one to work. See a guy ride one every morning. Just don’t want to make such a huge purchase and then be fined and not allowed to use it .. any insight would be awesome

No shit you crashed you are reckless dangerous & have nop regard for others you ride this like it's a race track take chill pil

Riding like the with no safety gear is stupid .

10:27 this guy one day will fall by himself and break something... i mean i guess the scooter is safe, but his driving is too agressive... he drives like hes racing all the time, dude slow down, at least on corners... that speed if you hit something you break bones for sure... not to mention the head but i hope at least hes using a helmet... he went full race mode 5sec after a crash... tbh i think people sometimes only learn when something really bad happens...

that's awesome. how much kms do you cover in this video?

Oh my gosh, please slow down! Please don't hand you or someone else a Darwin Award. Scooters are like maverick horses, barely tamed and ready to run wild at any moment. Stop signs aren't suggestions! 😵‍💫 Way too fast for public paths! If you want to fly, buy yourself a jet! 30 or so MPH on a shared path? I get the need-for-speed too, but not anywhere where's there's pedestrians! Living on the edge you are.

This is why e bikes have limits. Coming to scooters too with this type of riding.

You know, I am just as guilty. I didn't have mine 2 months, thought it was a bicycle, and at higher speed than I should have been going, had a blow out and down I went, also, the faster you ride, the more maintenance! Brake pads wear quickly with fast and hard stops, and seems the parts are going to be a big part of expense of ownership. I cut way back on the use of my Apollo. They need to evolve a bit more user friendly before I would recommend buying an inexpensive scooter first, using it for a couple months then purchase an Apollo if you like.

Too fast one lanes dawg. Like for real should not be freaking people out. I said to myself. If My bike can go 0-30 within 3 to 4 seconds. Then I can slow down a bit. Which also helps with preserving as much battery as possible

4:40 *CRASH* more of an abandonment

Thanks for sharing what can happen if you're not careful on a scooter! My biggest worry is we have a few incidents and governments decide it's easiest just to ban. It takes guts to post a video like this for people to criticize.

4:45 OOPS!!!!!!

Wear gloves and a helmet. Took a nasty fall on the burn 2 yesterday. Shamed my head against the pavement. If I didn't have a full face helmet my brains would've been all over the floor. And gloves saved my hands. Ride safe!

░p░r░o░m░o░s░m░ 😚

How much, total was your scooter, and how long did you have to wait for delivery? And any unexpected changes I would encounter?

What u think u in a motorcycle lmao bro u could have killed some one slow down

Pretty brave to post this, I think, as you have to know you would get scolded for speed and perhaps recklessness. Glad you and the scoot only had minor abrasions. Love my Phantom and she's a beast so not personally ever wanting to experience a fall that could damage her. Rode 20 miles today and hit a personal best of 43.5 mph on a very slight downgrade and a public street. (Was a 35 mph zone!) So I get the whole need for speed. Be careful and let's hope you and I never meet on the same path going opposite directions! LOL

1 minute in the vid and I can already see two reasons why you crashed. 1) you are travelling against the direction of bicycle traffic and 2) you are going way too fast.
