Accident: 1 🗑️

I had my first fall since purchasing the electric scooter last November. I've already analyzed what went wrong:

1. I was tired from work.
2. I attempted to jump a low curb; you usually have to pop up a bit. Usually, I do this, but for some reason, I didn't this time. Maybe I thought it would still clear 🤷
3. After 1450 km of riding, the scooter starts to feel a bit wobbly. The handlebar moves slightly relative to the deck. This doesn't affect smooth riding on flat roads but can be annoying on bumpy surfaces.
4. The scooter has no suspension, which would have helped absorb the bumps.
5. The road was under construction in several places, forcing me to navigate through various curbs.

I ended up with bruises on my elbows and knees, but I continued on. I'll definitely be more careful in the future 🤔🚿 when approaching low curbs.
