Damn.....Kind of scary but facts. I rode my Road Runner Pro today in a tank top and shorts (with helmet) because it was hot here in Northern Cali . You got me thibnking. Now I have to save up for kevlar pants and a jacket. I have a dash cam in my car....makes sense to get a go-pro when riding my bikes. Darn you Peter.....now i'm going to be broke!, but you made sense about investing in our bodies.....we only have one.

I have over 3k miles on my Super73, and 100% agree with these recommendations. I ride on mixed gravel/rocky trails, and have taken some spills. Like Peter said, it's not a matter of "if" you will fall. You "will" fall. These ebikes are overpowered and there's a learning curve. You're not only learning how to ride your new bike, but you're probably taking it places you haven't ridden before. I have about half a dozen falls now and have lost some skin. Some of the injuries haven't completely healed a couple years later. I wish I had all of this gear on day 1 of riding an ebike. I learned the hard way, I hope you take this video seriously and just spend the extra money.

Great video, glad to see someone make this. I slammed into a tree branch on a group ride (was in a bike path) and was real glad I was wearing my moto gear (helmet, armored jeans, denim jacket). I ride a motorcycle too and honestly I feel like all the same sensibilities for regular moto riding should apply to ebike riding over 15mph. You can still get hurt bad if you're not prepped.

Hey! Thank you so much for watching. It’s unbelievable how many people disregard the idea of safety when it comes to a bike, specially a bike that mimics a motorcycle. I was surprised to not see a lot of videos about safety gear for e-bikes that only makes sense because that tire e-bikes that go over 30 miles are relatively new. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to help the community. Stay safe. Thank you for sharing your story and I’m glad that you were OK. When I fell I went 30 mph and I never thought I’d get as hurt as I did. Luckily you and I were prepared. 🤟

I have broken 2 bike helmets when riding a road bike, which sucks. Recently I fell going to work by sliding on crosswalk paint and hurt my knee which was a 5 week recovery. I am now riding with knee pads as I don't want to re-injure my knee, my bicycle helmet and gloves. I plan to purchase a full face helmet as an ebike is heavier than its acoustic cousin, so more inertia in its movement. I also have elbow and chest pads which I will employ when I build and ride new experimental bikes I am planning to build. Thanks for the food for thought as the streets of LA aren't very forgiving.

For sure! I was always very cautious before the accident but as we all know it’s a matter of time until we take a tumble. And it’s good to be protected. Hope that knee is better and protected for many rides 🤟

I'm going to take this video as an omen. Just crashed on my Spark Bandit, taking a corner way too fast, and think I tore my rotator cuff. This made me realize I'm still dressing like I'm riding my old cruzer in Santa Cruz, & I'm not. Thanks for the reminder. Those stat's are scary.

I know it’s super inconvenient to gear up so heavily but I mostly recommend it for road riding and when you share the lanes of traffic. Specially if you like going fast. Thanks for watching and I like your name! 🕷️

solid tips. a lot of companies make a MIPS helmets that are affordable. Fox makes several.

@thepeterparkershow 7 ай бұрын

That’s true! When I did some research on it I saw that they are actually cheaper than ruroc helmets! Thanks for watching fam 🤟

Good vid. How fast were you going when you fell?

@thepeterparkershow 7 ай бұрын

Thanks Fam! I was actually going 33-35mph and I got lucky because I landed on sand after I bounced off the concrete with my hip. Stay safe out there!

I learned winter before last not to ride on ice…. The snow gave me a false sense of security until I came across ice in the street. Should have ridden the sidewalk back from work
