If he can walk off and gurn like that,I daresay he'll survive. It could easily have been very different.

From what I remember reading on mates AR50 headstock waaaaay back when above 3 KWh and 30mph topspeed made em a motorcycle.
My Fizzy at the time was an old one so was a bit faster from when the regs were a bit looser.

Coincidentally I've just seen a post on Instagram that appears to be showing (Italian?) Police testing an electric scooter at the side of the road.
Re: Is This A Motorcycle?
In the UK lots of elderly and disabled people use them for transport but I am not sure that they are legally classed as Mobility Scooters
because they are capable of doing 15mph, the manufacturers fit a switch to limit the top speed to 8mph which they say makes them
a UK legal Mobility Scooter.
Green Power who sell most of these scooters have a terrible reputation for after sales support and the scooters are always going wrong
from welds snapping to electrical problems.

I don't know for sure but the police appear to be dyno-ing the scooter. I guess to check for illegally fast ones?
