Falls: 1 🗑️

I fell off my electric scooter; it was my first fall since purchasing the scooter last November. I have already analyzed the fall, and here are the reasons I found:

  1. I was tired after work.
  2. I tried to go over a low curb. In such cases, you need to do a small jump. Usually, I do jump, but for some reason, I didn’t that time. I probably figured it would just roll over anyway 🤷
  3. After 1,450 kilometers of travel, the scooter is already getting a bit wobbly. The handlebars wobble relative to the deck. It doesn’t interfere on a flat road, but it rattles over bumps. A flat road is a rarity in my city.
  4. The scooter has no suspension. Suspension would have helped smooth out the unevenness here.
  5. The road is closed for repairs in several places, and I had to go around fences via various curbs. The bike lane is blocked, but the car lane is open.

I got red bruises on my elbows and knees and kept going. I think I’ll be smarter in the future 🤔🚿I need to be more careful when riding over low curbs.
