Apply the brakes!!! 🤯
F
Motorcyclist here. He needed to turn, not brake.
S
Cyclist here. I think either method may have helped.
E
List here. He did neither because he was riding beyond his abilities.
S
Ist here, das ist rightig.
T
1st here, last there
H
Environmentalist here, at least it’s electric
B
So mining and refining lithium has a lower carbon footprint than… using your feet?
H
Well compared to a two-joke it’s much better
X
Joker here; it’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop.
G
St here, other motorcyclists rode me fine so I concur
F
*richtig!
M
MotoGP fan here: his ambition outweighs his talent
J
Those were big words from a man that can’t drink a glass of milk
E
Letters here, put these together to form your opinion, gdruihvdevyi o uhhtrdgyuffcgyhujjtthuiikopljdsaaqfccgaseefbvfghjknnmgg F ayy
D
A joyful guy hid the heavy jug, drifted off back, snug—giving much rich, deft joy.
C
Oh freddled gruntbuggly, Thy micturations are to me, (with big yawning) As plurdled gabbleblotchits, On a lurgid bee
R
Guard rail here. I don’t know about the preventable part. I only caught the tail end.
N
Blind person here. I agree.
N
seriously, it seems like people forget basic road rules sometimes, it’s frustrating
W
Stunt coordinator here, he needed to flip over the railing and land on the RV passing under.
W
Mortitian here, he couldve gone faster
N
Man needing a kidney here, he needed to land squarely on his head.
V
Human with working eyes here. He needed to turn to turn.
P
Darwin here. No need to brake or turn.
S
Most clever reply in this whole chain lol hell yeah dude
T
Observer here, they needed to brake a bit and turn
F
Slow down before the turn, but if you’re not practiced, and you brake in a turn, you’re going down.
Y
Down is better then over in this case
F
Turning is better than crashing at all. This is the problem that I have with e-bikes – they are horribly regulated. To get my motorcycle license, I had to have a driver’s license first, and pass a motorcycle endorsement test. These e-bikes can easily hit high speeds, but legally require no training or endorsement in most places. You have the potential for completely untrained operators on a vehicle that they don’t understand. This was an easy turn for any competent motorcyclist.

To be fair that’s not an ebike. That’s a surron/clone of one and its closer to a dirt bike than an ebike. Ebike = 20Mph top speed.
D
The e-bikes legally do require training as they are motorbikes. They are just sold, and bought, as if they are pedal cycles.
F
I agree with you, but what you said is not universally true, and even in case where endorsements/licensing are necessary, enforcement is abysmal.
F
Where I live, a motorcycle licence is a stand alone licence. However, someone tested and licenced for a car can ride a 50cc scooter in traffic with no further training. Always annoyed me that when they’d crash, those statistics would help those legislating against motorbikes.
M
Where I live e-bikes are highly regulated. They can not go without pedals turning and not faster than 25 km/h. Max motor power is 250 W. The police _will_ stop you and check that your bike is legal if they think you’re going too fast.
F
IPSGA.

Also look where you want to go, they had target fixation.
D
bicyclist here, those little cheap ebikes almost never have the right brakes for the amount of power they have. there is next to no standard or regulations. all that works fine when you’re powering a bike with your leg muscles, most of the time anyway, but with a 1000 watt motor and little 10 inch wheels it’s not a recipe for success.
M
AI model here. He should let his AI driving assistant take over. We would do much better than that bag of flesh. Nice e-bike and camera though 😉
T
Counter steering to be specific
F
All steering at speed is counter steering.
S
Thank you. People *love* to mention countersteering on literally every video of a motorcycle like it’s some special technique or knowledge, when it’s just fundamentally how *all* bikes work.
B
No lean angle, horrible body position, and got target fixed 🤣
K
His safety balaclava would have saved him.
S
And this is why motorcyclists are required to be trained. Can’t wait for some kind of regulation to implemented around these things. Many of them are a total nightmare where I am in London.
F
>Can’t wait for some kind of regulation to implemented around these things. He’s riding an electric motorcycle not an e-bike (which only have peddle assist) so unless he’s registered and trained then already breaking the law. Good luck finding any plod to pull him over though!
T
US has speed maximums for non-licensed/registered motorized bikes. 50cc mopeds, no license. Anything higher/faster 100% needs a license for though
W
Doesn’t matter if some smooth brain buys a “completely 100% street legal e-bicycle, no license required”.
O
In the US motorcyclist are not required to be trained, only licensed, and the test involves starting the bike, a couple cones to slalom through, and braking in a designated box IIRC. It really is wild what we let people do lol
T
We don’t have federal licenses. Some states may require training.
