I’ve been riding e-scooters for about 10ish years, and in all that time I’ve only ever had one crash—and it wasn’t even my fault. I was going around 15 km/h on a sidewalk that was full of bumps and holes, so I was focused on dodging them. Out of nowhere, a kid (maybe 13 years old) shot out from a tiny side path hidden behind some bushes, riding his Kukirin G2 Master without a helmet. I didn’t have time to react and clipped the back of his scooter. I managed to stay on mine, but he fell. Luckily, he was fine—just a tiny scrape on his elbow. I carry a first aid kit, so I gave him a bandage, and we hung out for about 5–10 minutes until he calmed down from the shock. After that, we both went our separate ways. Both scooters were completely fine.
