Why we gear up, 40 MPH electric unicycle crash 💥

Get your next electric ride from: alienrides.com
It always hurts when a friend falls. We all want to have fun out there, please ride responsibly and wear safety gear like a #helmet and pads. This particular #crash happened while riding a Gotway MSuper X #electricunicycle. The safety measures like automatic tilt back have been turned off because they can be jarring at high speed. We will definitely be encouraging folks to slow down a bit on these rides. My GoPro GPS recording was on, but I believe it was inaccurate as it averages speeds. You'll notice that even stopped it's reading 16mph.

Sometimes we go fast sometimes we find the limits. Sorry for the fall but very good to see reality. We all could be safer drivers and riders... thanks for showing the truth bro. PS I❤helmets too! Ride on!

[@AlienRides]

Always good to know where the limits are. Sucks that it happened, but very glad it wasn’t much worse. Ride safe 🤙

[@bekirsivri80]

I don't think it is safe going 40mph with the unicycle. Maybe 20 or 25mph is ok but more than 25mph means I am ready to die. I am not sorry for him fortunately he didn't hurt anyone. this unicycle is quite heavy (25 kg)and when you crash who knows where this device goes? Some innocent people even children might be hurt. I don't know what speed limit is in that area but I live in Barcelona and the speed limit is 30 km (18mph) in most places in city center for car. This guy's speed was 40mph. He must be crazy or maybe wanted to die. This guy must be punished. I am not worried about his life, he could hurt other people

[@christheobald6183]

To dangerous to me 🇦🇺

[@daweaselglitcher9973]

Do they give u tilt back alarms like kingsong?

[@omgitsraaz]

That msx is no joke! I haven't pushed mine past 35mph and after watching this probably never will! Stay safe everyone!

[@AlienRides]

I think that 35 is a good speed, and plenty fast. Stay safe out there 🤙

[@jackvolta3489]

Good rule to follow now we just got to live by it. 👍

[@HipposHateWater]

The fact that he didn't break something, but actually walked away from it afterwards as if he took as spill at 10 mph is insane.

[@AlienRides]

For sure, all thanks to safety gear. Definitely could be a lot worse.

[@kylecahalan1350]

It's not the speed that kills ya, it's the sudden stop. Source: Wiping out on my bike at 45mph, open road so I walked it off. If there had been any obstacles I would not be here.

[@mikejames1860]

If u know how to crash ur golden. I wrecked a bike at 97 and walked 4miles home..

[@RevRides360]

Glad your friend is ok. Thanks for sharing the footage. It is a good reminder of the risks of pushing a sport or product to the limits. You guys are smart to gear up.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

I fell at 37mph and wasn't wearing knee or elbow protection, just a helmet. I am still regretting that dumb decision over 4 months later.

[@AlienRides]

Dang, yeah it's really rough recovering from a fall like that. On the plus side it just takes one to realize how important it is to wear full gear. Hope you're 100% soon, for your body and ego.

[@ceffreyjastillo]

One word ..ouch

[@Jay-qj9zk]

Always try and wear mid to high level body protection gear, wether on a electric scooter, unicycle or bicycle. This means a full face good quality helmet, good knee pads, good elbow pads, and consider also wearing a torso vest.

[@blueviperacr398]

Dont forget mask to block unnecessary dust and any exhaust-pollution. Cause i'm allergic to dust goes right on my face

[@harlimaw]

Helmets are awesome! Thanks for sharing this.

[@RINGOTVRAW]

That's it I'm buying a full face helmet and full gear. Thanks for the video footage. EAST COAST SCOOTERS.

[@AlienRides]

Ride safe man. 🤙 Hope the scooter scene grows on the East Coast. I'm from the DC area myself.

[@voxtek]

@@AlienRides I've been riding my thunder all over for about 4 months now(I live on the East Coast) and have yet to see maybe 1 other scooter, but nothing on the level of a Dualtron.

[@AlienRides]

Voxtek well enjoy being king of the scooters for now, but hoping we grow the scene over time! 😅

[@voxtek]

@@AlienRides Did I mention I live in a college town, you think these things would be catching fire. Oh well, I plan on pioneering the scooter movement out here. I shall not let my western brothers down.

[@peterjna12]

Voxtek Rion takes the cake.

[@SamClegg]

Everybody who buys a fast wheel should have to watch this video every day for month. No wheel insusceptible to the cut out.

[@AlienRides]

Great advice Sam. I would get so many view counts if we made that a law, I'm down 😂 For real though, a bunch of people have already said that they're buying safety gear because of this video, so it's working! 👍

[@thejollyrama3083]

I could think of a few others for mandatory watch as well. Like the dude who faceplanted on his Z10 at full speed with no gear on. 🤪 At least in my case, my 22mph death wobble crash a couple months ago, still weighs heavy on my psyche, and I have yet to hit max speed on my XL. Although I have grown more comfortable with occasionally "gunning it" above 25, I still have that worry in the back of my mind about another death wobble creeping in. I finally switched to flat bottomed, stiff soled shoes, however, and feel like I leveled up a bit. 28 is fastest I've been able to go so far... Looking forward to riding with y'all in April! 😎

[@bigbadboogie6842]

Don't need a cutout to crash, all that is needed is a either a mistake or more common antoher reckless driver, bicyclist, pedestrian. Kids live im their phones today and bike around im their own world. Pedestrians think they own the bike lane. Cars...well they're bigger and harder and some people dont give a crap about others and are too lazy to "look left, look right, look left...turn...../ direction depends on country :-) )"

[@TedPeterson]

It cut out because he pushed it too fast.

[@salmastropolo1642]

I had a cut out on low battery going hard up a hill and fell forward going around 13mph. Wasn’t wearing gear, scraped knees, hips, arms (worse), hands. Ribs hurt. Bought a full set of gear that night. ✌️

[@AlienRides]

Amazing that he was able to walk away from this one. I'm definitely going to take a look at my safety gear after this and look at upgrading some pieces.

[@jackvolta3489]

U kno in that video I didnt hear any warning beeps from his MSX did he have them disabled?

[@AlienRides]

@@jackvolta3489 You know, I don't think so, but he's also got that thick protective cover around the EUC. That could definitely muffle the beeps quite a bit.

[@jackvolta3489]

@@AlienRides well u know there are pretty inventive ppl in the EUC community couldnt someone invent a beeper within the helmet itself ..blue tooth connected to the wheels beepr maybe? I dont know? but what I do know is a good idea! Cuz if we dont ride safer we'll be banned to ride at all. Last thing we want or need is to be limited of when, where & how we ride, and the last thing we need is some bureaucratic law that makes it impossible for us to enjoy our freedom without suffering from some fine or rule made to curb our appetite for Euc's, booted boards, & scooters. We must ride smarter and safer ...not faster!

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, I agree. My dream would be some heads up display inside a helmet or something that told me speed, approximate power usage, along with warnings before cutout. Definitely need something better than a beep.

[@pepeloco65]

The board s are really fast

Thanks for stopping by, we were happy to work on this PSA

[@delightdevice]

Thanks for so important experience! Take care and be carefull!

[@crashguy711]

Thanks for the video! Today is my second day learning EUC, I have a KS16X my first wheel. Today my head hit the pavment , slow speed fall wearing snowboarding helmet saved me! But now I love the idea of full face helmet. Thanks again for sharing this!

[@AlienRides]

Awesome, welcome to the amazing world of EUCs. You're on the right track, definitely get a road-worth full face helmet. 👽🖖

[@konstantinosginis7683]

Thank you for the upload, very informative. I can't wait to start riding an EUC! Gear up everyone and ride at safe speeds! :)

[@AlienRides]

[@kencatnguyen]

I am glad Tony is okay! Thanks for sharing Kevin. Now I am thinking of getting a full face helmet! 😬

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, if you look at the damage on the helmet, that could've definitely been a missing jaw. I have a MTB helmet, but I don't think it would do well at those speeds. Looking at upgrading now.

[@mackattack8627]

Always wear a full face helmet now I'm a day one rider in these streets from my Puch moped to my Honda Aero 50 scooter to my Yamaha Gt 80 at age 11 to my -Ninja ZX-10 R at age 18 to my now 30Kw! custom Schwinn Stealth 1000watt scooter chassis that i been riding now for 13 years as my main transportation I'm 50😁 but these streets now are not like when we were Young in California in them 80,s to many people here now from other countries that don't watch us motorcycle/scooter riders and terrible young driver's bad texting habits while driving but in short wear full protection always watch pedestrians and dangerous street conditions and don't video yourself riding in a manner where people view you as a cult of wreckless electric scooter riders i been riding solo for 13 years on my high power scooters now that there are finally quality high power board type scooters as Dueltron X the back seat snitching people are gonna wine about our going over the 20-28 mph California legal limit for electric scooter/bike's and how dangerous we are while their basic car parked in the garage goes over 130mph

[@macky2green]

*_This should serve as a reminder and warning to all of the riders of these tech mobility gadgets to be careful and be safe and ALWAYS wear safety gears. Thank you for sharing._*

Thank you for the safety reminder! If this video can help just a few people buy gear and prevent injury, it’s served its purpose.

[@FoxHound78]

I'm convinced. Full face baby. Even on a E-bike!! Tony V is O.G. Initial response after spilling was "Did you get that?" Rock on!!!!

For sure, Tony V is one cool cat! 👽🖖

[@redjack56]

I’m looking at getting my first escooter and I will be gearing up ! I’ll also be going fairly slow and I don’t see any need for speed in my future , I don’t mind just meandering along at a steady safe clip. Thanks for posting and I hope your friend is doing better.

[@AlienRides]

He's doing great now. What kind of scooter are you planning on getting?

[@ricardocolon3945]

These videos give credibility and value to the channel and provide valuable insight for people who are considering getting into it like myself. THANK YOU!

[@AlienRides]

Thank you. These machines are really great vehicles and don’t let this video scare you away, they’re safe with some self control and some gear.

[@johnrichardson5089]

It was great to see him get up without any serious injuries at that speed. Great share on the importance of safety gear.

[@AlienRides]

For sure, I’m glad we were able to help spread the message about the importance of safety gear.

[@Nelsdrums]

Amazing. I landed hands first (inverted) at 20+ mph twice and one time broke my left radial cap, and another the right (and full thickness tears of wrist ligaments on each arm). So pretty amazing that no bones were broken/torn! I'm sure he's aching today, though.

[@AlienRides]

Oof, those falls sound painful, hope you've healed up and you don't have another for a while.

[@Nelsdrums]

All healed up! I ride a 14 mile round trip commute on a Boosted board every day.

[@jackvolta3489]

Oh yarh road rash is the worse especially during the scabbing faze, I injured my shoulder knee & elbow in a fall, but luckily I wasn't goen fast, but scabbing Sucks they crack & leak when you move ...you ruin clothes, Just gross shit nobody wants sorry for being graphic just being real :)

[@big_petebear8535]

😬

[@oscaremoralesp28]

I'm recovering from a fall at just 17mph, 6 weeks in and my wrist are still sore and I think I will experience permanent movement loss in my left wrist, but 0 head injury because I was wearing a 3/4 helmet that absorbed the hit 100% I didn't even feel my head hitting the concrete, just the noise of the helmet hitting.

[@GreenteaBoy]

Thank you for the video, This video is very educational about using safety gear and reminder to not push these unicycle to the max. This is a great reminder I will be order some gloves and elbow pads. Thank you.

[@kiwimon3204]

Glad that I bought safety gear too from head to toe for my e scooter. Im guilty of riding fast and over our road speed limits here in New Zealand. Viewing this opens my eyes to the reality that crashes can happen at anytime. Respect the roads and traffic. Thanks for sharing Bro

[@AlienRides]

Tonga Cooks glad you’re geared up and having fun riding. I bet New Zealand is a beautiful place to ride, stay safe bro.

[@tomb.8375]

Please list your protective gear. Full face helmet, wrists, elbow + knee pads, padded shorts. What else?

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

I'll stick to my slow the moment I hear the ~31mph beep plan. Haha nice to know the upper limit. Stay safe! Awesome to see Vano get right up after that fall!

[@mandycowey7635]

30mph is my limit to. Takes nothing to come off. Got to have some kind of body armour and a decent helmet

[@markmorrison4730]

I've done the same on a smaller unit. Thankfully not going anywhere near as fast. Mind the beep and the kickback. LOL. Glad he had the gear on. I managed to crack a rib but my gear saved me otherwise. Be safe out there... God speed!

[@AlienRides]

Happens to all of us. Cracked rib sounds painful, but could’ve been worse. Stay safe out there. 🤙

[@greenwave819]

cool to see everyone ready to help, grab the spill, and recover.

[@TheThunderwars]

Sometimes to commute to work appointment I use my wheel and I am not as well equipped as during my leisure rides. I restrict myself to 25 km/h when improper gearing is all I have, which is already plenty fast to get hurt.

[@AlienRides]

If you have some self control that's probably ok to do. Ride safe friend. 👽🖖

[@Ricardo.Narvaez]

I got my scooter yerstarday. Thanks to this video, I'm buying the full gear tomorrow (full helmet included, not just the top part). Thanks for sharing it. The other ones are cool but this one is probably gonna save a few bones.

[@AlienRides]

Awesome, glad you'll have safety gear and happy you got your scooter. Have fun scooting and ride safe!

[@mandycowey7635]

Unicycle accidents happen so quick, doesn't matter how good you are! Nice to see no serious injuries

[@AlienRides]

Yeah exactly, it's really hard to recover when something like this happens. We put so much faith into these electronics, definitely smart to wear a lot of gear.

[@jamesbaynes6580]

Fantastic video. I had to laugh at the final beep as the wheel was coming to a rest at the end of the crash.

[@AlienRides]

Thanks! Sucks about the fall, but I'm glad we got some killer footage of it at least to help inspire others to wear safety gear. Ride safe!

[@h88k988]

Great video! Perfect title. I hope any ESK8'er, EUC'er, or E-scooter'er that views this gets a full face helmet if they don't already have one. All the other equipment did a nice job of protecting this rider; leather jacket, knee pads, awesome. The full face helmet probably saved him from a concussion and crushed jaw and cheek bone. That was a powerful smack in the face from the asphalt.

[@AlienRides]

For sure. No doubt riding in the streets/roads with traffic at high speeds is dangerous. Glad to see people gearing up for riding PEVs!

[@Mpower31]

Hey where did he get that cover for the MSX? It looks like it really saved it for the initial couple hits.

[@darcyleepearson4416]

This is a really good video Usefull too! FULL FACE! ....so pleased rider and ride not banged up too badly x

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, his gear saved him for sure. Being able to walk away from an accident like that makes the gear worthwhile for sure.

[@RCDevotee]

I am happy he is well. One of the main reasons I stayed away from boards and EUCs is that type of crash. Scooters can still crash but they are much more stable as I only wear my snowboard helmet when I ride. It is cool to see all the areas you ride are very familiar to me.

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, my scooter is very stable and my Dualtron quenches my thirst for speed. I do like to ride them all though!

[@RCDevotee]

@@AlienRides You should ride them all as you have a badass collection. I just replaced my Passiongadgets Mini-IV Pro from Singapore with the Ecoreco L5+ for my commute from SF to Fremont. 25MPH and a super stable ride is fine with me especially on the warmer days that are coming. It is just fun to ride these things.

Ok gotcha 👌

[@nemohalperin]

Could you do a vid on different types of safety clothing. Helmets. Gloves. Elbow and Knee Pads?

Glad to see your buddy didn’t get seriously hurt. AR, like your helmet. What is it and where did you get it ?

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, he is super lucky he was fully geared up for sure. I’m using the fox sports proframe helmet, I like it because it’s lightweight with good airflow. I got mine on Amazon, you can find it here: amzn.to/2Lyd1lh

[@emp29]

This guy is a legend! Crashes and the first thing he says after getting up "did you get that?" Someone says his knee pads saved him and his reply "yeah I'm sure my everything saved me"

[@darkhorseeuc]

Any more info on beeps/tilt back/warnings for this incident? Every cut out vid I’ve seen is on a Begode (and fires). Some guys saying they can’t hear the beep at speed over the wind.

[@AlienRides]

You can actually easily cut out any wheel. These days since begodes have the most power I see the fewest cutouts on them. Definitely need to hear the beeps though, some of the apps like euc world/darkness bot have alarms that play through the speakers of the wheel which helps a lot. 👽🖖

[@jjpac2011]

Definitely! Important to stay safe, and have fun!

[@Simplicitywins]

I've been riding for a few weeks, & hadn't fallen until today... Gear caused me to not even have a scratch. My Sherman fared pretty well, too. Gear up!

[@AlienRides]

Dang sorry to hear about your fall but glad it wasn't worse. How did you fall? 👽🖖

[@Simplicitywins]

@@AlienRides Thanks! I was practicing turns at speed around a mostly empty college campus, on smooth concrete, & pushed it a bit too hard / fast. I was going around 20 mph when I fell. I rolled into and out of the fall, so I dissipated most of my momentum via the roll. Lesson learned. The hardest lessons come from the hardest falls, right? lol

[@DarkSifu]

So I got my master from you guys. It's my first wheel, but I've managed to hit 40 mph on it. And now I'm terrified 😂 what's the safety margin for speed on this wheel I hope I can avoid cutout even if I have to slow it down.

[@taichiwinchester1102]

LOL I just fall on a EUC without any safety gear about the time you uploaded this video. Luckily I was riding at only 25~30km/h which is like 18 miles/h, palms and knees got hurt but nothing too serious.

[@AlienRides]

Sorry about your fall, it happens to all of us. After a helmet, wrist and knee guards are top priority. Glad it wasn't too bad and hope you're back to 100% soon.

[@SuperSport1966]

So glad #TurboTony is ok. That looked pretty violent. #HelmetsAreAwesome

[@AlienRides]

Yes, this definitely could've been much worse! Very glad to see him walk away with minor scrapes and bruises, 40 mph is no joke.

[@TrooperManaic]

That's a begode wheel right? Does the V11 have pushback or is it the same just cuts out?

[@AlienRides]

This was an older begode wheel, but it can happen to any wheel. All wheels can have pushback, you can disable it on begodes though. 👽🖖

[@AlienRides]

Dong Thatphanom there are lots of options! I don’t work with any skateboard sellers, but I will try to in the future. I’d say do some searching on KZbin and see what fits your needs/budget. Boosted board is a common starter board, or something like the kaly or lacroix is going to be a more high-end board. I will also be updating this link to list a board supplier at some point, but good things here: buy.alienrides.com

[@joemusic2882]

Amazing the GoPro lives on.

[@Duf]

Pedestrians on the right, oncoming traffic only separated by a painted line, and in a group of riders. This had the potential to be much, much worse. I wonder just what it is going to take for people to wake up and ride more responsibly. If you come off at 40 on a deserted road and only injure yourself, that's ok, you signed up for that risk. However others around you did not. SMH

[@bryanbryant9962]

"you signed up for that risk. However others around you did not." Interestingly, virtually no one seemed concerned about this aspect of the crash! A couple of years ago I was riding on the sidewalk and saw bushes ahead partly blocking the sidewalk. I made the wrong decision to try to squeeze past the bushes. The bushes knocked me off my wheel, which then careened out into the street. The biggest scare for me was that my wheel could have slammed into a car or caused an accident when a driver swerved to avoid it. I was VERY THANKFUL that the street was empty at that moment!

[@henreebee6561]

Idk, I mean, he was in the middle of a two lane street, with plenty of room on either side. It seemed to me that the only danger was to his riding mates around him. I definitely agree people should not endanger others, but I don’t think he was doing that here.

[@abcportrait]

I agree... my KS16X can be a 52 lbs hammer hitting someone or child. I only had it for a little over a month. I don't need the belt tied on it to ride, but I still have it tied on in case it gets away from me.

[@AB-py3eu]

What crack are you smoking? His momentum is forward on a straightaway, so he slides in that direction. You would only have a point if this happened in a curve in the road, which isn't how they ride in curves, so you're lecturing a strawman situation.

[@rustilldown7]

@@AB-py3eu not so much. He falls fine, but then you have one of his fellow riders try to swerve to avoid the crash, he loses control heading into a crowd, heading into oncoming traffic. It takes a bunch of little things to make one big bad one. It's very possible. I always say in alien rides videos to keep in mind that the crazier the speeds, the faster these things will be regulated. To the point that the boundary to entry will be harder, and in some cases not worth it.

[@Max_Jacoby]

How much protection person needs if he drives only 20 km/h? I know the more the better but it's not practical to use full face helmet if you drive on pavement to supermarket. Is bicycle helmet suffice? What's the worst could happen if you fell at speed of 20 km/h?

[@AlienRides]

I think at lower speeds you're much less likely to have a fall hard enough to damage your face severely. A full face is probably not necessary at those speeds, but personally I'd still wear one I think.

[@naps3386]

I locked up my track on my snowmobile a couple years ago to avoid hitting a deer. I immediately went superman over the bars and could feel the ski's of the sled on my legs, my helmet was grinding along the trail, and the whole time I kept thinking, "I love my helmet, I love my helmet." Still separated my shoulder but I wouldn't do any sport over 10mph without a helmet. That's my personal limit.

[@AlienRides]

Oh dang, sorry to hear about your crash, but I'm glad you had a helmet. Ride safe! 👽🖖

[@CadeBrazil]

You can clearly see that the EUC stopped working and with that he flew ahead. Is it not a failure of the EUCs? Maybe by turning off or slowing down?

[@AlienRides]

Yup, if you overpower it you will cause the EUC to fail. That's just how EUCs currently work, but maybe that can change in the future. They're still awesome machines.

But you got to blame yourself for goen to DAM FAST..lol. May every survivable fall be an experience to learn from, because when adrenalin & speed are met with asphalt, Only one has no mercy! Wishing you well brother. 😎👍

That’s the truth, great advice! 👍

Jack Volta glad you were able to get out and ride 👍 I don’t use the app that much, I should use it more.

[@jacopo125]

I hate to even imagine what would have happened without safety gears. I ended up fracturing both my elbows years ago on a stupid 9bot P at 15 mph. Safety gears make a world of difference.

[@AlienRides]

They really do, being able to pop up from a fall at 40 mph is amazing. All thanks to the safety gear.

[@mikejames1860]

Just a cover...or did the wheel just break that easily?... new to these but interested in getting one

[@ivandjah4869]

hello, tell me please what is knee protect on crushes rider?

[@AlienRides]

Most of us in our group like the Leatt Knee Braces. They have pretty good protection! amzn.to/38rceK1

[@hankVa13ncia]

So was that a cut out he experienced? I had a cut out 2 months ago on a KS18L and it was no joke. Glad he was able to walk away from it. 40 mph is freakin fast!

[@AlienRides]

Sorry to hear about your cut out, we’re you badly hurt at all? Ride safe 🤙

[@rayrokni]

that’s why the %80 hw buzzer system made by killian ellson would save scenarios like this. transmitter plugs into the mbrd buzzer connector and the receiver that attaches to the helmet and wirelessly warns riders with, led, buzzer and vibration anytime the fw %80 buzzer goes off. imo, a must for any rider. don’t confuse this with app speed alarms that are based on speed or pwm, which are not exact

[@AlienRides]

Wireless alarms would be pretty awesome. No reason for this to happen then unless you fully ignore them. 👽🖖

[@subliminalpain]

Was that a system issue or user issue? you can see the EUC dip at 1:36. Saw a similar crash from a passing vehicle air drag.

[@AlienRides]

Mike Camaro we generally consider this a user error because of going too fast, beyond the machines limit.

[@LWilliamsBeats1]

Currently recovering from some minor road rash and cuts, came off my 2400w scooter at 30mph, dont think im gonna push past 20 anymore lol, they deffo aint toys thats for sure

[@AlienRides]

Oof, sorry to hear about your crash and I wish you a speedy recovery. Going fast can definitely be dangerous, so definitely wear safety gear if you're going to push it.

Looked like it just shut off. How much battery life was he at? I've hit 44mph on my 100v but that was in an extreme tail wind and with near 100% battery and only for a second.

[@AlienRides]

44mph is pretty impressive. This was an 84v EUC, and we think he hit about 40mph or so, I don't know the exact battery level, probably greater than 80% though. He probably would've been ok at this speed on the 100v.

[@DellSchanze]

@@AlienRides Oh ok well that makes a huge difference if it was only the 84v. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@sevenrats]

Anything over 20 mph you should have FULL protection. Full helmet, armored jacket, hip pads and knee pads and full boots.

[@mkygod]

wow, were there any warning beeps before it happened?

[@AlienRides]

I'm sure there was, but at 40mph, with the wind and wearing a motorcycle helmet, they can be very hard to hear.

[@julien3578]

thanks sharing the video, I have to admit the tilt back of the inmotion V8 is pretty good, it took me back to a safe position numerous amount of times. That's, for this reason, I'm not comfortable with gotway/begode , people seem to like the riding experience of it but the overall construction, robustness, and intelligence of the algorithm are just not there. Definitively Veteran brand can be justified by this. I wonder if begode will survive without a clear improvement of their products.

[@AlienRides]

Agree that quality and the ride experience is very important. I actually think that begode products are quite well built for what they are, as not many other brands push 100 volts and have sold nearly as many wheels as beogde. 👽🖖

glad he made it true worrior of speed now no but really could have been worse lucky no cars right behind him had his ppd on saved him but its a reminder to respect your machine no matter what you ride .. have fun safe and ride on

[@AliNaderzad]

hey from the paris euc gang: I ride protection-free, for that maximum freedom feeling, but had my speed limiter set at 20mph. And at 47 I don't take as much risk. I know, you're going to say even at 20 mph things can happen, and it is true. But if I wanted to wear this much gear I'da stuck to riding my piaggio scooter and right now my piaggio scooter hardly ever sees the light of day. I've taken numerous falls on the Gotway and it's always the feet or the calves (that feeling when the wheel's pedal hits your calf full force, OH YEA) not even close to the upper body. PS: this video isn't only a study in what protective gear does for you, it's a study in what happens when you push your wheel too hard. This guy took a lot of risk. Glad he's ok though!

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, and to be fair even standing on the sidewalk can be dangerous, one may trip and crack their head open. I definitely want everyone to have the ability to analyze the risk and choose protection on their own accord. This guy, and our group, had learned a lesson from this incident. Ride safe brother.

[@TheThunderwars]

We all get that fall that made us wear gear... I fell at a relatively slow speed without any gear (I usually wear them, it was the only time I didn't, wheel charged to 60%, fell to 47% under hard accel and cut out around 50 km/h). I heal really fast, but I still had bloody rashes on my two elbows and two knees that hurt for about a week. Now, elbow pads, knee pads, motorcycle jacket and helmet, even if I'm just strolling around.

[@AlienRides]

Definitely, we all get the gear lesson sooner or later. Ride safe friend. 👽🖖

[@no1up]

Glad he's OK!

[@AlienRides]

Safety gear saved him for sure. 👽🖖

Da fuxk how did he get up like it was no big deal like a snowboard crash. I fell off my escooter going 25mph and got a concusion, broke wrist broke ankel and lots of skin damage

[@cheeveka3]

I’m so going to buy pads for the knees glad I have helmet. Any suggestions when it comes to protections for the legs?

[@AlienRides]

People recommend the Leatt knee braces, I think there's a few different types. I'm going to pick up a pair soon.

[@cheeveka3]

Alien Rides Thanks I know for me I never went full speed on my Thunder. I think 37Mph is my limit. 😅

[@cheeveka3]

Alien Rides One more question but I am looking for rear view mirrors I am wondering where could I find some that could be compatible with my Thunder.

[@AlienRides]

@@cheeveka3 Really any bicycle or motorcycle lights can work if you have the adapter for your handlebars. Find the lights you like the style of and we can find the adapter I'm sure. See if you like the ones on Phantom, our custom DT3, and if so, the link should be in the video description: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3a1iIKIo7Ofrrs

[@MrFido7up]

what gear do you use ? your jacket seems good and the helmet

[@AlienRides]

I’m using the Fox Sports Proframe helmet. I like it because it’s lightweight and has lots of airflow. You can find it here: amzn.to/2LOGlm3 For the jacket, I'm using the Rev'it wind jacket. It's light and has lots of airflow. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-wind-jacket

[@DellSchanze]

Dainese Racing 3 jacket with their Pony pants I found for only $700 total at Orange County Dainese!! Freaking awesome full race leathers setup. It's perferated so even in hot weather in Hawaii it is still quite comfortable as you get the airflow through it. I just don't like full face helmets as they block rearward visibility but I know they are worth it if you do biff it.

[@AlienRides]

Sounds like you got a good deal on that Dianese jacket, awesome!

[@DellSchanze]

@@AlienRides Yea they had a sale on that particular color. I liked that color best anyway.

[@LaurieFloodTeacher]

This really applies to all of these electric and gas powered vehicles that are things like skateboards, bicycles, scooters, unicycles, and the like. It's really important to realize that you are going really really fast and do not have the type of braking that even a moped has. This is why I agree with the poster that there are limits to how fast people should be going on these vehicles. Let's be safe folks. We are not indestructible. I'm glad to see that your buddy was mostly okay.

[@AlienRides]

This is a good point, definitely want to be safe at high speeds. I would say that some brakes are really good, like a scooter can have dual disk brakes and stop faster than a motorcycle.

[@thelonercoder5816]

i've feel off my ebike atleast 5-6 times and surprisingly never got seriously injured, only a few minor scratches.. I'm good at catching myself before I fall lol.. also fall on my feet or hands.

20mph is a great speed to ride at, and these vehicles are definitely one of the best ways to get around town. Ride safe!

[@mysteryakatsuki]

Where was this recorded? I am so curious cause here I can only go max 15mph

[@AlienRides]

This was recorded in San Francisco. We've got some pretty fast riders!

[@nealchambers2306]

That's the 2nd MSX I have seen do that in the last week. If you ride like that you got to expect a crash. It's inevitable

[@AlienRides]

Neal Chambers yup, that’s the truth, definitely don’t want to push these vehicles past what they are capable of. Takes a lot of self control!

[@nealchambers2306]

Alien Rides it's interesting that the other MSX I saw crash was also at 40mph. Just a small overlean or bump at that speed and the battery can't deliver the Amps the motor is asking for and..... whack

Neal Chambers yeah, happened to me too on other models, that’s why I always leave a large buffer and don’t like to go past 35.

[@ionflow1073]

We're all pioneers in a very new sport. I have friends who tell me I'm crazy for riding EUC because it's "dangerous." My response is always the same. I remind them of how dangerous other action sports are, and how much progress has been made in these sports to make them "safer". However, is anything like this really ever completely safe? If we really want absolute safety we'd all be doing nothing but playing video games all day. I'm glad that rider was wearing his saftey gear so he could walk away from this crash. Great job.

[@AlienRides]

Indeed, this is a new sport and it's dangerous. Now excuse me while I put on my helmet to play video games (actually maybe not a bad idea with some of these VR games) 😅

Awesome, glad to hear you are riding safely!

[@crhoades40]

Do you guys use actual motorcycle gear or just bicycle / MX gear? Because at 40mph it would definitely be smart to have viscoelastic armor, D3O, and a real Ece or snell approved helmit. There is much more impact resistances is street gear than off road gear

[@AlienRides]

Good point about the appropriate protective gear. I definitely recommend dressing for the speed you're going, and most folks going 30+ do use full on motorcycle gear.

[@pauldfinch4145]

I pushed a Segway to its limits, safety kicked in n the motor momentarily shut down, result my face planted in the floor. This reminded me of that moment.

[@AlienRides]

Oof yeah, very similar mechanism to the segway. It is awesome technology though, just gotta respect the limits.
