When you are tired at the end of a ride and heading home is when you people have the most accidents. Luckily all my crashes have been at low speeds so far. Mud at low speeds is just as easy to wipe out on. Having hard kneepads and good wristguards made it into a minor crash with some scuffs on my 18XL and pads, and a tweaked ankle.

You forgot hardshell backpack, which can protect your tailbone. It is better to roll over your backpack than landing flatt on your back. Proper shoes also matter.

Went down on an e-scooter at 40mph. Had the leatts on and had no knee injuries. It's a good pad. Wish I had also had a riding style boot, although I don't know if it would have saved my foot. Multiple fractures and a metal plate in there now. Don't skip out on the proper shoes either. Vans or similar canvas shoes probably aren't the play. Another tip from my crash is wearing a book bag. I don't think I would have broken broken my spine the way I fell, but it for sure saved my back from road rash. Had nice skid marks everywhere the bag didn't cover.

Should have just relaxed, but I turned into a cartoon character, sticking out of a bush. The bikers proceeded to pass me instead, without even a glance as to whether I am okay or not.

Thank you for promoting top-level safety practices! Early on, I realized that I won't feel safe being a *daily* commuter without knee braces, and full motorcycle gear. I bought used leather motorcycle jackets for winter and summer (perforated), and got myself a motorcycle helmet. It's not the easiest to deal with in the summer, as perforated leather is only cool on a really hot day at 50kph, but I make due for the sake of safety. I hope more riders find out what works for them with the help of this video!

I LOVE that you had "gear solves everything" as #1. Yes gear is great and our community is very commonly suggesting it's use, but with that I have seen the trend that no one is ever talking about speeds, terrain/weather, and overall riding skill levels and how these plays into risk levels. Gear does not solve for these factors and is only the last barrier to protect us from damage. And yes they can be very efficient at mitigating damage in certain scenarios, but they are by no means superpowers. I strongly dislike the trend that safety tip #1 is suggesting everyone go all gear at all times and then what follows is "just ride however you want and the gear will save you". If you go for the max protection at every scenario including wearing motorcycle gear at walking speeds then that's all good, it is going to make you a lot safer than wearing less or nothing. But that doesn't mean you are safe at all speeds in all scenarios, or that you are better off zooming around in traffic at 60km/h+ as a beginner power ranger then a veteran rider gliding slowly to the store in the bicycle lane with little to no gear on. Yes gear is great and help us in a lot of scenarios but speed and sudden stops kills, no matter what

riding an euc is inherently dangerous. It can be pretty safe if you are way inside the envelope however if you start pushing, riding bumps etc. you will fall at some point for sure. Most of the falls I have seen are overleans which goes by experience but also because of pushing too hard

Good points, I bought a TSG Pass mainly for winter and to see why so many used it, also I was ordering other things on e-rides But then I have not used it much myself in the 1+ year I owned it though, it is warmer and better in rain than my Fox Proframe but so are motorcycle helmets ofcause. I dont like how much it fogs up in the cold so that sucks ergo I keep it open mostly, Predador reportedly ventilate better and I did consider buying one before. Then I recently bought those side lightmod strips like Delivery Record breaker Timur Fearless uses, and they fit my TSG Pass quite well with Breakfree light at the back as well, so well luminated/visible. Also I been trying out some AI for my video editing and I like Astronaut themes so Im thinking to get a White helmet next to fit with that theme.

I had my mother sew "belt" loops onto the back of my riding pants, the top and bottom strap of my Leatts go thru the loops and stops them from sliding down. I dont trust those "armored" jeans that they advertise, i want hard plastic as my outer most layer which the Leatts are perfect for. Ive been bugging TSG on social media about getting a Pinlock visor made for the Pass because without it its unwearable.

+100 on the TSG helmet. I had a fall straight on my face once at slow speed and already the helmet FLATTENED and I felt my face slam into the helmet. Totally worthless. I ride with a motocycle (DOT) helmet now.
@alexarkhangelskiy6302
@alexarkhangelskiy6302 6 ай бұрын
I would recommend you find a helmet that is ECE or SNELL rated, as Mr. Wrong Way mentioned in the video. The reason is the DOT crash rating is the most minimal rating a moto helmet can have. That standard is ancient and nearly worthless. The ECE and Snell are much more stringent and actually relevant testing for crash scenarios. Don't get me wrong, DOT is better than what TSG does. But it may give you a false sense of safety. Just my two cents from my experience and research in the moto industry. ✌️

Few days ago I had crash on an e-scooter at 20kmh (12mph). I had Leatt 3.0 enduro helmet and I broked my nose! I have no other protective gear and broked my left hand. I thing it's not broke from fall but from helmet hit to my hand. I also hit my right knee and two other places on the legs. I went to hospital and there was another guy crashed at 12kmp (7,5mph) and he broked hand. I can't even imagine what kind of damage a higher speed does to the body when you break a bone at such low speeds. Be careful guys.

I just bought an electric scooter and buying motorcycle gear for it (helmet, armored jacket, armored gloves). Once I get an EUC i'll get everything. I don't have any gear for my e-bike (already got hit by a truck, spent a year in physio but I am good now). Times are great for living now with all these electric stuff. If your job requires you to have a class 5, show up in an EUC and it's good enough. Been pretty defensive since I got hit on my e-bike so I learned my lesson (although I was hit in the bike lane of all places).

And it's important to have the correct sizes of any safety gear you use. They can be too tight or loose in weird ways. Leatt dual axis for example has too small kneecap cup for my knees and the cup size does not change between dual axis pad sizes (in adult size range). Uncomfortable gear makes it more likely to be left home when going for a ride. Get a real motorcycle helmet or for hot months or hot regions a real motocross helmet. You'll get used to the weight in no time.

My man, I'm all about fitness...fitness whole plate of tacos in my mouth. But anyways, I'm slowly accumulating better gear but I gotta say, I got you beat on lowest level of protection that's not none. I got knee and elbow pads off the clearance rack at Cycle Gear for $30US total. That was before I even knew what an EUC was. I don't ride fast, though. I just cruise. I got knee braces coming, I wear a modular motorcycle helmet, and I plan on getting boots like Forma Adventures or something similar (a local guy broke his ankle and recommended something with support and crush protection). I already ride slow on my scooter and I will probably do so on my EUC as well and I'll combine that with being over geared. After all, I'm the only person in my house with a job. I gotta pay bills.

Funny enough, gear syndrom is called Peltzmann effect or superman effect, where an individual think that the more gear, the safer, then the more risk you can take, negating the protection you've achieved. I'm gonna be honest, I also think companies should start developping EUC-oriented gear, and people should start pushing for that instead of promoting the usage of gear that is meant for other sports. People think it's fine, but road motorbike helmets i.e are meant for road motorbike speeds, the flexibility, the FoV, the weight are not really made for PEV usage. We could get way better than that. Last thing is when people (including youtubers) give a bad example, promoting motorbike gear for when you go passed 40-45 kmh on road... Most people don't see anything wrong, but as influencer, promoting illegal speeds (because in countries where it's legal, 45kmh is not a legal speed), that's just wrong... That would be the same as a motorbike channel promoting some gear for when you hit 200kmh+ on road (except autobanh or isle of mann :D). Your first security isn't gear, it's how you behave and the mentality you have when you hop on a EUC. If you plan on going bicycle speeds, you don't need a full racing carbon motorbike helmet imo.

Some spineprotectors jackets (plastic armor) also covers tailbone, combined with D3O padded shorts you have a lot of protection on tailbone. D3O is a wonderfull material and amazing check it out. Some safety gear is not safe, they dont protect important neural structures in elbow and shoulderjoint and the darn thang slides when you fall. lazyrolling is not made for EUC its for skateboarders - def not safe for EUCs.

If have to say if your 45mph or less you're fine with a tsg or any mtb helmet with mips I mean the dudes that ride slope style are usually pushing those speeds and flying 35ft into the air. If you're going to be wearing a moto helmet it better be super light or you are just increasing the chance that you'll be Injuring your neck. I will say above 45mph everything I just stated doesn't apply anymore and you probably want a full moto setup. But should you really be going 45+mph in most situations?

if your riding under 25mph, mountain bike gear is ok. riding above 30mph , buy motorcycle gear.

u can always get a higher end helmet with more ratings. thousands of downhill riders ride faster than all us euc riders and crash. no such thing as brain damage on ANY downhill riders wearing a tsg/predetor helmet. same with euc riding. crashes daily on euc with tsg pass. they are fine. never seen brain dmg or even a cracked skull on a euc crash with tsg pass.

I'm with you on this. The helmet discussions about this are so laughably ignorant, with people doing things like flexing the helmet shell (a totally irrelevant test for helmet safety) and ignoring all the actual helmet standards put together by safety experts, which require objective testing by independent labs. Usually they at least realize that the motorcycle standards require more impact protection, but they even get that confused and think it's going to prevent mild concussions. It drives me nuts. 99% of the people involved in this discussion aren't qualified to give helmet advice to anyone.

Re: PinLock. There are adhesive pinlocks, I just glued one on my TSG. Works perfectly. A very important part about helemts is convenience and comfort. With TSG Pass Pro, I don't think twice before putting it on, I just do it. Bigger heavier helmets are more restrictive. And as they say, the best protective gear is the one that's on you. Also why do you expect a motorcycle certification from a EUC helmet? I don't think that's fair. How is EUC even different from a dowhill skateboarding in terms of head injury? You're just risking to hit your face on the asphalt in both cases, at similar speeds.

Those helmets are only tested at 15 mph, if you don't ride faster than that, then you are good.

3:08 that downhill mountain bike certification absolutely tests the chinbar. I want to give you props for talking about safety gear and not nitpick, but come on. That is an easy fact to check. Well, I guess in the grand scheme of things, it's a pretty good sign that we're only disagreeing about this kind of minor detail. It's cool to have people getting this serious about safety gear. I feel like you don't see this kind of discussion nearly as much for any other PEVs. (alienrides with the e-scooters is the only one that comes to mind.) Um, anyway, regarding chinbars. You got the fact wrong but there are still legitimate questions about the chinbar test. Both downhill racing and Snell (2020D) motorcycle standards only test the chinbar with a deflection test-- they measure how much the chinbar flexes in response to impact. But that won't tell you whether your face is going to hit the chinbar from behind in a crash. The ECE test might be better because they do it differently, with an actual impact with a dummy head inside. Maybe. It's not very clear how much that matters in practice, but it's a reasonable argument to make. PS: It's actually the Predator helmet that doesn't have the chinbar test! That one doesn't even have the downhill certification at all, just the regular bicycle certification. (Oh, that's a second mistake in the video, you said it had the downhill certification. Argh.)

@@mr_wrongway Leatt X- and Z-frames are some of the cheapest knee braces (ORTHOSIS) worth talking about. Other brands like Asterisk or EVS or Alpinestars are more expensive and not necessarily better. A lot of time the manufacturers offer individual spare parts for your knee braces, so they really can be a very lasting investment.
